I want to share a little about how The Cheeky Club came to be and why I created it. I’ve spent the past few years carving out my own space within the photography community, very quickly realizing that what I’m doing isn’t like anyone else. However, here I was using the same language and “playing it safe” on social media, especially downplaying what I provide for my couples. I was watering down what I felt inside, trying to still “fit it” and struggling with it all.
I started to recall all the sessions I’ve done, and at what point during these photoshoots did I feel the most alive, did I feel the most excited? When did my clients start to flourish and let go of the nervous. It wasn’t while they were fully clothed, and even when we got down into undies, it was when they fully embraced the experience and got naked. Those were the moments I saw them come alive. I shifted my focus, and decided that not only was I NOT going to hide that anymore, but fully embrace it and this is where The Cheeky Club was born. I never fully realized I was hiding that part of my work until I started going through and un covering so many images and videos I had NEVER shared. I wanted to create a community for like minded people to be a part of, learn and share their experiences, and live OUT LOUD AND PROUD and create with no barriers.
Nudity is at the core of the steamy session, and even though you don’t have to get naked during your session, it is honestly one of the most freeing things I’ve ever done and witnessed others do. In 2021 a few girls and I woke up at 5 am to run naked through Joshua tree at sunrise. I had NEVER done anything like that, and I look at those images now and think, FUCK YES GIRL. I’m so proud of myself for stepping into that experience and fully embracing the opportunity.

That energy is with me through each of my steamy sessions, knowing how powerful and freeing being naked is. To be able to see how someone else views your body, the beauty, the curves, lines, marks, everything. The Cheeky Club is about embracing your body because it’s a beautiful work of ART.
How does The Cheeky Club work?
To join the club, you have to get naked in front of my camera. Booking a steamy session or elopement gets you into the club. There is a $500 creative fee for steamy sessions (elopements are quoted slightly differently as we spend all day or multiple days together), and once you’ve signed the contract and paid your fee, you are officially in the club!
Your Steamy session is about 2-3 hours and is thoroughly planned and directed with my help. I have lists of beautiful locations, and there are NO RULES, so anything goes! This includes sex if it’s something you’d like to include during your session (This is discussed when booking your session, along with any drugs or other extra curricular activities you would like to include.
After your session, you’ll receive a proof gallery with all the ART (photographs) from your session, and then you can choose which ones you’d like to purchase. The average investment is about $2500 CAD.
Once you’ve chosen your images, you’ll receive a high-resolution digital gallery, your Cheeky Box full of goodies, and merch to sport around town!
The Club officially launches July 13, 2024, and I’m beyond proud of this space we are creating in the world. So what are you waiting for, go join the club now! www.meganashleycreative.com
