Meet the 2026 Boudoir Brand Ambassadors!

The results are in! When I posted about brand ambassadors last summer I received dozens of incredible applications from so many beautiful people, and I’m deeply touched by how many of you wanted to take this journey with me! In the end there were so many phenomenal applicants that I couldn’t pick just one—so I picked four!

Is that a silly, overwhelming decision for my first year trying something new? Probably. But I’m an Aries, so I never do anything small.

We kicked off 2026 by getting together for a casual pizza party meet and greet, and since everybody turned up so cute, we did a group photo and headshots as well as discussing the team’s goals and projects for the year.

Avery Carter

My name is Avery Carter (he/they), a New York native. A ceramicist by day and pro domme at night, I’ve always been moved by the unconventional, the primal, and the sumptuous. Through the years of my work, I’ve found that I can reveal my rawest self by spaces who allow me to be in the first place. As such, you can imagine I was grateful to stumble across a platform like Neon Velvet Studio.

I’m happy to be an ambassador for a space whose ethos I’ve shared for a long time, authenticity, expression, passion for life, and create art rooted in that.

Oh, and, I’m a Sagittarius Sun, Sagittarius Rising, and Gemini Moon, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Avery can be found on instagram! Follow him and check out his incredible art, including the Black Leatherdyke Calendar!

Meg

I am Meg (she/her), an artist, teacher, learner, and most importantly, a mother!

As an Aries guided by fire, creativity, and intuition, I find fulfillment in creating through photography, art, modeling, and motherhood—each one a ritual of self-expression and connection.

As a brand ambassador for Neon Velvet Studio, I’m drawn to the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and LGBTQ+ rights that embraces the beauty of all identities, shapes, and stories. Partnering with this studio allows me to merge my passions with purpose, weaving together art, empowerment, and expression.

I’ve got a whole about me page if you’re curious to know more about me, and Neon Velvet Studio is my one-woman show (though as you can see above I’m blessed with really wonderful collaborators, and partner with some incredible hair and makeup people to bring you an immersive and luxurious photoshoot experience!

Brand Ambassadors have more fun

You’re obsessed with boudoir. I get it. Me too, honestly! You love that it’s fun, empowering, versatile, and infinitely personalizable—it can be sexy, funny, powerful, or sweet! It can be masc, femme, or somewhere in between.

For 2026 I’m launching the first boudoir Brand Ambassador program for Neon Velvet Studio, and I’m looking for a few bold babes who love boudoir photos, content creation, and uplifting others to help me grow my studio and community! In exchange for your promotional work, you get a totally free boudoir session in 2026, including all the luxury pampering you’d get with a paid boudoir photoshoot—hair and makeup styling, wardrobe, and posing guidance!

What does it mean to be a brand ambassador for a photography studio?

First and foremost, you love Neon Velvet Studio! You vibe with my artistic aesthetic and core values. You want to help represent Neon Velvet Studio out in the world!

You encourage community. You hype up others for being their gorgeous authentic selves. You want to shout from the rooftops about how boudoir can be a transformative experience on the self-love journey.

Your responsibilities will include sharing your photos and being informative and enthusiastic about your Neon Velvet photoshoot experience. This can include instagram posts and reels, TikTok and YouTube shorts of video/behind the scenes content and outtakes, participating regularly in the private Facebook community, and writing a blog post about your experience! There’s more you can do too, but this is the minimum.

This is a one year appointment, beginning in January 2026 and running through December. Each boudoir Brand Ambassador will help me test new studio setups, mini session themes, and exclusive promotions. I pick the details, but you’ll get a chance to customize your experience; if you hate Valentine’s Day I’m not gonna put you in pink and hearts! This is a mutually beneficial thing. I want us all to enjoy the experience.

Who can apply?

I know this sounds insufferable, but as these will be people I’ll be working closely with for an entire year I’m going to be making the decisions on ✨vibes✨. Anyone who feels excited about the info presented here is encouraged to apply. Maybe you’re at the beginning of your self-love journey, or maybe you’re a confident cutie. As long as you’re passionate about uplifting others, you don’t need boudoir modeling experience. You do need to love social media though, because that’s where I need the most help.

If you have any special skills or experience you think would be relevant or beneficial I encourage you to brag! I love getting to know people.
