Meet Your Boudoir Photographers, Jess & Ross Costanza​

(Female-only photography team options are available as well, if needed)

Ross Costanza has been a photographer for most of his life. His passion for capturing the things and places around him began in his early 20s while traveling out west through the desert with his band.  What began with landscapes evolved to weddings and eventually transitioned naturally to boudoir. Ross brings his love of landscape photography to every boudoir session with a keen eye to framing the environment around his subject so that the image tells a story.

In 2014 his wife Jess joined him in the business and became the primary stylist and director for all the boudoir shoots at their downtown Norfolk boudoir studio.  Jess is the heart behind Luminous Boudoir, your personal hype girl and crown-straightener. She has also been known to get behind the camera for some of their most creative and fun sessions!

When you book a shoot with Luminous Boudoir, you are getting a husband and wife team that understands the power of what a session means to you, as well as creative direction and expert posing and styling. Luminous clients leave with not only beautiful and artistic portraits of themselves, but as family.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience with Luminous Boudoir. Having known the team for years, I already trusted them, but they exceeded every expectation during my session. From the moment I walked in, they created a professional, welcoming environment where I felt completely comfortable and respected. They took the time to guide me through every pose, offered constant encouragement, and made sure I never felt awkward or self-conscious. Their professionalism and attention to detail allowed me to relax, be myself, and actually enjoy the experience. The final images were stunning, and I left feeling more confident, beautiful, and empowered than I ever expected.

Absolutely recommend Luminous for your boudoir needs, especially first timers! Was nervous at first, but Jess quickly made me feel comfortable and empowered! My images surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to gift them on my wedding day!

As someone who stays 100% out of the view of the camera and someone who is very self-conscious about their body this was a huge step for me. It literally took me 5 minutes to compose myself and stop crying when I saw the results. They made me feel so comfortable and so relaxed. They were able to see Beauty in me that I was never able to see on my own. This in and of itself was life-changing. Needless to say my partner was thrilled with the results.

I had the most incredible experience with Luminous Boudoir from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I felt pampered and taken care of. Amberly worked her magic on my hair, Hailey created the most stunning makeup look, and then there was Jess… the absolute boss babe and mastermind behind the camera. Jess instantly put me at ease. Any insecurities I had completely disappeared the moment she started guiding me. She knows exactly how to pose you, hype you up, and make you feel like the most confident version of yourself. Between Jess’s energy and Amberly’s upbeat playlist keeping the vibe fun and relaxed, the whole experience felt empowering and unforgettable. If you’re on the fence, book the appointment. Do this for yourself!! Don’t wait to be the “perfect” size or the “perfect” weight. The perfect time is now, and Luminous Boudoir is the small business that will make you feel beautiful, celebrated, and strong. 10,000/10 highly recommend!
