This is the simple filter if you are looking for LGBTQ friendly Bay Area boudoir photographers. Photographers who only say “inclusive,” “all bodies,” or “couples” without naming LGBTQ, trans, or non-binary clients are not featured on this list.
Alias Josie – Walnut Creek
Christina is the only photographer on the directory with a page that says “We welcome all LGBTQ+.” The male-to-female transformation page lists the terms she will use, including crossdresser, trans, transgender, and they/them, and offers hair and makeup for a full transformation, from soft glam to drag. A Google review recommends her to nonbinary, trans, and other gender-diverse clients. She also publishes dudeoir for men and couples boudoir. Sessions stay tasteful: no exposed genitalia and no explicit acts. The studio staff is women only.
