To my dear sweet clients,

If I have failed to tell you or I don’t say it often enough, I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart and soul I truly appreciate your business, your loyalty, and your voulnerageous decision to create with me. You are the spice, the sprinkles, the cherry, the frosting of my art. Out of the many many other choices you have, you choose me. You are magic, you are art and it is the highest honor to capture you in all your astounding glory. Wether you showed up jumping up and down or shaking in your boots, you showed up and if you ask me, that’s the hardest part.

I adore all of you Courageous Sunbeams!

With all my love,

Clara C, Courageous Sunbeam


“Working with Clara was THE best decision I have ever made. Not only was she super professional, she made me feel welcome, safe, and confident. She truly has an eye for capturing the best parts of you while also seeing confidence and light within you and bringing that out in her images. The high quality of her work radiates throughout every aspect of the shoot, from the set-up to the posing to the final photos. I highly recommend Clara as a boudoir photographer.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Clara! Doing photos with her was the best decision, I’m blown away by the photos and can’t stop looking at them! Clara really works with you giving ideas and listening to any ideas you have. She makes you feel so confident, and has the most wonderful energy! I’ve done two shoots with her and both times were so fun and made me so much more confident in my body. If you’ve been considering boudoir photos - just do it! You won’t regret it. Clara is just the best :)”

“Working with Clara is always an amazing experience! She makes me feel so comfortable and is so much fun to work with. She’s so knowledgeable when it comes to poses and body angles, but is also happy to listen to your ideas and poses you want to try! She makes the process of taking photos SO much fun :) I’ve struggled with my body image for as long as I can remember and while I’m in these shoots I feel so beautiful, and when I see the photos in the end I almost can’t believe it’s me! Clara is so encouraging makes me feel so confident. I absolutely love working with her :)”

“I absolutely LOVED celebrating my birthday with Clara (Courageous Sunbeam)! She’s such a delight, and made the whole experience so much fun and so empowering. I adore the sneak peeks she sent over and can’t wait to see the whole gallery!! Definitely book with this badass babe- her energy is contagious and the shoot was a dream. I’ve always struggled with my self image, and having Clara hyping me up and taking such gorgeous photos made me feel so beautiful. I can’t stop looking at them! I will definitely be booking another session with her down the road!. Thank you for the best birthday ever Clara!!”

“Clara is very kind, fun, and easy to work with! She’ll make sure to ask you what you feel comfortable with, so the choices for boudoir are very much up to you. I hadn’t modeled in a while, and she really helped me with ideas for poses/backdrops which was awesome. If you’re interested in boudoir portraits, she’s a great choice! She’ll make sure you leave feeling more confident than you did before starting the shoot.”

“I was shy going into my first ever boudoir session, but Clara made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! The photos she creates are pure magic—you know what I’m talking about if you’ve worked with her! Plus she’s a genuine person that radiates with acceptance and love. 10/10 recommend her as a photographer and a friend because she’s just that damn good!”

“Clara was such an absolute delight to work with! I felt at ease with her right from the start. She was encouraging throughout the shoot and welcomed my ideas and suggestions so it really felt like a collaborative effort. When I got the photos back I was SO happy with the results! Clara has a great eye for photography and her editing gave the photos a nice polish. I definitely recommend Clara whether you’re an experienced model or never posed before. I hope to work with her again in the future.”

“I alway look forward to working with Clara. When shooting with her, it feels so natural and I always feel absolutely comfortable in my own skin. She really works with you and adjusts to your comfort level. While still giving you that burst of encouragement and confidence that makes her photos come out so amazing! I appreciate her creativity and always feel like a goddess after seeing the finished product.”

“Clara is one of the most patient and talented photographers I’ve yet to work with. She is considerate of the models level of comfortability and their boundaries; allowing you to express your authentic self in a safe space. Clara honors who each person is and captures their natural way of existing. Everything flows organically and she wants to see YOU exactly as you are. Working with her is inspiring and freeing.
I highly recommend working with her if you are wanting to feel good in your skin, embrace your sensual, powerful self and be seen without a filter.”

“No matter how hard I try - I don’t think any words could describe Clara & her work…that give her the praise she deserves. This light being of a human CARES about people. about her clients. about her work. It’s an instant comfort, to be in her presence. Her energy is palpable…it is soft…and beautifully fierce. The photos she has taken of my daughter & I are my favorite that exist. I am grateful for her friendship & her gift. She is a light 💚”
