I’m the owner & photographer of LIGHTHOUSE BOUDOIR located in Houston, Texas. I am a mom to two little humans and one fur baby. I love a good audiobook and spontaneous trips. I'm type B at heart, except when it comes to photo shoots and then my control freak emerges. (you're welcome) hehe

I'm Sontera

Hello friend!

I believe in the power of feeling seen.

Love, Sontera Dresch

I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Photography and a minor in Art History. I started out photographing weddings, portraits, etc. In 2008 I shot my very first boudoir client and was immediately hooked!

Over the years I worked a few different 9-5 office jobs but continued to photograph during my free time. Quickly I realized that my passion was boudoir and began making plans to make a career move, eventually saying BYE to that corporate job in 2014! You can read more about this transition in my blog.

Between work, carpools and remembering to get your oil changed – life gets pretty hectic! I truly feel that you deserve to take a break from the hustle of life, be a little selfish, indulge and do something outside of your comfort zone! When is the last time you felt powerful and sexy?! This is why boudoir photography is a passion of mine.
