About Sylvia Ryerson

I believe every woman deserves to have a photograph of herself that makes her stop, look twice, and think, “That’s really me.”

I’m Sylvia Ryerson, a boudoir photographer with a love for creating portraits that feel elegant, intimate, and timeless. My work is centered on helping women feel comfortable in front of the camera and creating an experience that feels personal from beginning to end.

Many of you know me by my Maiden name Sylvia Jameson, but I recently got married to an amazing man, Barry Ryerson, and I am so happy to be a part of his life!

I didn’t start photographing boudoir because I wanted to create traditionally “sexy” pictures. I was drawn to it because of what happens during the experience. I saw how powerful it could be for someone to step outside of her everyday routine, be taken care of for a few hours, and see herself with fresh eyes.

That transformation became the heart of my work.

My style is refined, feminine, and editorial, with an emphasis on flattering light, natural expression, and thoughtful posing. I guide you through the entire session, so you never need to wonder what to do with your hands, where to look, or how to stand. You do not need modeling experience. You do not need to arrive feeling completely confident. That is part of what the experience is designed to create. You don’t need modeling experience or know how to pose. You’ll get photos so hot you will be melting the ICE. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided through every detail of your session, from flattering poses and natural expressions to the small adjustments that make you look and feel your best. You will definitely be getting calls from home to find out why you look so amazing! You can even pick your own music from Rock to country to Hip Hop from the Hilltop. Anything you want.

Many of my clients come to me while celebrating something: a birthday, an anniversary, a personal transformation, a new chapter, or simply the decision to do something meaningful for themselves. Others come because they have spent years avoiding the camera and are ready to change the way they see themselves.

Whatever brings you here, your session is created around you.

I want your photographs to feel beautiful now and ten years from now. More importantly, I want you to remember how you felt while creating them: seen, confident, relaxed, and completely yourself.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me searching for beautiful interiors, collecting far too many photography books, planning my next weekend getaway, or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee before the day begins.

It would be an honor to create something beautiful with you. Return to Orlando Boudoir Photography home page.
