“Does a boudoir photography session have to be femme?” I’m here to tell you - HELL NO IT DOESN’T! Boudoir is for EVERYONE and doesn’t have to look any sort of way. To me, boudoir is more about honoring the parts that make you who you are and celebrating your body at any stage. Boudoir Photography is an intimate experience that helps you gain confidence and boost your self esteem.
Read MoreAt its core, "The Four Agreements" is about learning to break free from the limiting beliefs and expectations of society, and embracing your true self. This is a message that resonates deeply with me as a boudoir photographer, as I see firsthand the impact that societal pressure can have on a person's self-esteem and body image.
Read MoreWE HAD SO MUCH FUN CAPTURING POSES GEARED FOR BOTH DYNAMICS USING PROPS AND PERSPECTIVE. I LOVED THE USE OF MORE FEMININE PROPS LIKE PEARLS TO JUXTAPOSE THE MORE DOMINANT FEEL. RACHEL ROCKED BOTH ROLLS FLAWLESSLY! PEEP ALL THE AMBIENT LIGHT CREATED FROM LAMPS, CANDLES, AND THE NEON SIGN! I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THE CINEMATIC CLASS THAT I LEARNED THAT FROM!
Read MoreThere are 3 Types of Boudoir Clients. The first type of client has no idea how they want their boudoir experience to look they just know they are excited [and nervous] to come in and have the experience! The second type of client is just as excited about the creative planning process as they are the experience itself. The last client is somewhere in between. Technically there’s a 4th type of client. This is their 5th time in the studio and at this point we are just mixing sets up to get them something they haven’t done before.
Read MoreFOR BRITNY’S LIVE SESSION, WE STYLED THE LUXURY WINGS FROM THE VAULT CLOSET ON THE BED SET. I LOVE THE WAY THE ROMANTIC CANDLE GLOW PLAYS OFF OF THE EMERALD SHEETS. BRITNY WANTED TO GO FOR AN EDGIER LOOK SO WE PAIRED THE WINGS WITH A BLACK SET SHE BROUGHT IN AND HER SASSY BOOTS! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WHOLE LOOK! IT REALLY SHOWS JUST HOW VERSATILE THE WINGS REALLY ARE!
Read MoreLike many of us, not only has she had to rebuild her relationship with herself, but also had to find love for herself and worth.
When asking Michele what sort of impact her experience had on her she shared "I feel prettier and stronger. I still can not believe that is me in the pictures. This experience has given me more body confidence."
Read MoreI tell my clients all the time that the best time to do a boudoir session is when you aren’t feeling your best. And this week I practiced what I preach and was reminded just how powerful a session can be for your confidence.
These images still aren’t exactly what I hoped for - and I’m admittedly still a little butt hurt that my inspo didn’t work out. But I love them all the same. I feel beautiful and fierce when I look at them. And that is exactly the point of everything I hope to achieve in my business.
Read MoreI styled Andrea in her FAVORITE mustard yellow bodysuit from the Client Closet. The color is seriously PHENOMENAL on her - it’s no wonder she picks it almost every time she is in for a session! During this LIVE I really focused on demonstrating how much variety I can get in your final images without you moving a whole lot. I always strive to make a boudoir photoshoot as painless on you as possible while still capturing ample variety in your final images!
Read MoreWe got an adult swing in the studio…. a leather swing…..fuck it, sex swing. It’s a sex swing. I never know what to call it on social media to avoid getting flagged or banned - so we just say THE swing. tehehe
I CANNOT WAIT to photograph you in this beautiful thing! Until then, you know I had to test it out myself first! I really wish I would have recorded behind the scene video of me trying to capture these self portraits. It was NOT as glamorous, sexy, or coordinated as it appears from the final images. Those that have had a session with me know how this goes. It RARELY feels as good as it looks. BAHAHAHA

These green hues look striking on her; from emerald to teal, any shade of green is stunning when paired with red hair!!
Boudie Fact Check- It has been scientifically proven that seeing the color red increases a viewers metabolism, heart rate and respiration. Wow, so being a redhead is a powerful fucking thing indeed!
Read MoreLAUGHTER IS INDEED CONTAGIOUS AND SOMETHING WORTH SPREADING AROUND! AND DANIELA’S BEAMING SMILE AND LAUGHTER ARE BOTH SO FREAKING CONTAGIOUS!
SMALL PROPS (SUCH AS THE ICE USED FOR DANIELAS SESSION) CAN CREATE SUCH A BIG IMPACT- THINK OF ANYTHING YOU CAN PLAY WITH USING YOUR HANDS OR MOUTH- ICE, FRUIT, WHISKEY, OR CHAMPAGNE, WHATEVER YOUR FRISKY HEART DESIRES!
Read MoreWE LET THE FLOUR FLY! I THINK A KITCHEN SESSION IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT AND KNEADS TO BE A LITTLE MESSY! LIFE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT FROSTY, BUT REALLY IT IS WHAT YOU BAKE IT. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE).. TEHEHE
Read MoreMEET EMILY, THIS LOVELY MAMA OF 3 WORKS AT A LOCAL WINERY AND IS A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER. SHE IGNITED A FLAME IN THE STUDIO, STRUCK A MATCH AND WE NEARLY BURNED THE BITCH DOWN. BY BURNING THE BITCH DOWN I AM ACTUALLY REFERRING TO MY USUAL BULL IN A CHINA SHOP-SELF NEARLY KNOCKING OVER A CANDLE AND SETTING THINGS A BLAZE! (IYKYK)
Read MoreCODIE’S SESSION IS COMING IN HOT AND I AM SO HERE FOR IT, GLAD YOU ARE TOO! HER SEPTEMBER SESSION WAS A PERFECT COMBINATION OF BOTH SWEET AND STEAMY! WE GOT STEAMY IN THE SHEETS AND IN SHOWER SET! BUT THAT ORANGE BODYSUIT AGAINST HER SKIN TONE IN THE LAUNDRY LINE GIVES ME LIFE!
Read MoreMEET ALLISON- HEY GIRL HEY-
WHEN I FIRST ASKED WHAT MADE HER WANT TO BOOK A BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE, ALLISON ANSWERED SHE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS, AND DECIDED THIS WAS HER YEAR! AND SHE WAS DOING IT FOR HERSELF! (YOU GO GLEN COCO) SHE MENTIONED HER SESSION NOT ONLY INSTILLED A NEW SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT, BUT MADE HER FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF AND PROUD OF THE PERSON SHE IS.
Read MorePrecious gems (just like this babe) are profoundly buried in the earth and can only be extracted at the expense of great labor. The labor of self- love is a heavy one indeed! We're often told to love ourselves, but it's easier said than done. Self-love is our secret weapon to living a fulfilling life!
Sumar wanted “to gain her confidence and love herself again!” - Challenge Accepted and Mission Complete! So excited to share not only some of her stunning images from her session but some of her thoughts on her boudoir experience!
Read MoreAn intimate boudoir session might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are expecting and looking to capture this incredible moment in your life, however, I can’t recommend it enough. To me, boudoir, isn’t just about sexy imagery and vibes -though let’s be honest, we all know that’s how you got here, right?! ;) Boudoir photography to me is more about intimacy, vulnerability, and celebrating the person you are right now. When you think of it in those terms, really - it’s a perfect fit for a maternity session!!
Read MoreI am totally in love with Julie’s session from earlier this year. We were able to mix in a bit of classic, glamour, and some personal touches! Her session is packed with color and I am here for it!!
Read MoreDuring Andrea’s LIVE photoshoot, I demonstrated how I direct a client into one pose and then move around them, shooting a variety of angles to get a completely different look! If you missed the LIVE, be sure to head to the group to catch the replay!
