Life & Work with Jarrett Timmons of Ann Arbor

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jarrett Timmons.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I fell into boudoir almost by accident. I was photographing weddings, capturing love and connection between people, and thought, “Why not try this too?” But the first time I stepped into a boudoir session, everything shifted. It wasn’t just photography—it was transformation. It was the quiet thrill of watching someone reclaim their confidence, the soft power of helping them see themselves in a way they’d forgotten was possible.

Over time, I realized that boudoir isn’t about posing or perfection—it’s about revealing truth. The courage it takes to let go of doubt, to step in front of a camera and be fully seen, is something I get to witness over and over. And in that space, something incredible happens: fear melts, self-judgment fades, and what remains is raw, unapologetic beauty.

Now, almost a decade in, I’ve honed not just my technique, but the art of creating that space—the delicate balance of guidance, encouragement, and trust. Every session is a story unfolding, a reminder that confidence and beauty aren’t things we chase—they’re always there, waiting to be recognized. And being the person who helps reveal that? That’s why I do boudoir.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road hasn’t always been smooth—and honestly, I think it’s better that way. When I first started, I was figuring everything out on my own: how to create a safe, empowering space, how to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera, and how to translate real emotion into images that truly mattered. There were moments of doubt, wondering if I was doing enough, if I could really help people see themselves the way I saw them.

But every struggle shaped the way I approach my work today. Each challenge taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of connection. It’s those bumps in the road—the uncertainty, the trial and error—that made me a better photographer and, more importantly, a better guide for the people I work with. Now, I see those struggles not as setbacks, but as the moments that prepared me to help others embrace their confidence fully.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I create boudoir experiences that are about more than pictures, they are about transformation. I guide women into a space where doubt falls away, where they can feel the power, the grace, and the beauty they have always carried but sometimes forget. My work captures the quiet strength in a glance, the fire in a smile, the softness in a moment of vulnerability.

What I am most proud of is witnessing that spark, the instant a client sees themselves as they truly are, radiant, unapologetic, alive. That moment is why I do this.

What sets me apart is the way I see people. I do not just photograph them, I reveal them. I chase the light that exists in every curve, every shadow, every expression, and I help them see it too. The beauty, the confidence, the power, it has been there all along, and my job is simply to show it.

What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is helping people see their own beauty and confidence. Too often we forget our worth, and I love creating a space where someone can truly feel seen, powerful, and unapologetically themselves.
