YES SIR LIVE Boudoir Photoshoot | Kansas City

You know what is really bringing me a lot of joy lately? These Fly on the Wall Friday sessions that I have been shooting LIVE in the Facebook VIP group! Seriously though - I’m not just saying that. It brings my 2 favorite things together - photoshoots and community - for a fun chat while I photograph a muse in the studio. I’ve had several people in the group reach out and say that they really appreciate seeing what it is actually like being photographed by me. I’ve heard that it helps calm some nerves before booking their own session with me knowing that I am going to guide them through the entire process!

Does a Boudoir Photoshoot have to be Femme? | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

“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.

YOU CAN BE EVERYTHING YOU WANT - Meet 2022 Boudiebassador Rachel

In Rachel’s first session we celebrated her role as a BossBabe, incorporating a black blazer, and stuck with classic sets otherwise. For her second session she wanted to flip the script and celebrate ALSO being a homemaker - wife and mama to a beautiful daughter! The kitchen set was a perfect choice to highlight that! I love the juxtaposition between the two different sessions! This stunning woman really is proof that you can be everything you want to be! You don’t have to sacrifice one thing to be another.

A Wee Bit Wicked | Kansas City Kitchen Boudoir Session

Scarlet Fever | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Have I mentioned lately, I love when clients give me permission to share their images!

Sometimes those images are shared on my website, sometimes my social media, or even promotions!

Signing a model release is not for everyone and that is okay but when it works out it makes me bust a move and makes my heart BURST!

I give my clients the option of different levels of photography release! Speaking of..

Gahhhhhhh, this session! Say Hello to Ashley! Working with her was beyond rewarding! I am always unmeasurably appreciative when you allow me to share the magic we create in the Divulged Studio!

Girl on Fire | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

MEET 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)

MEET 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.

She's Kind of a Hidden GEM | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Precious 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!

Patriotic Boudoir Photoshoot | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I shared a couple of images this week from Miss Alena’s session on my social media accounts and everyone RAVED about how stunning she looked in this red teddy. We are all crazy about her idea to incorporate a military flag in the laundry line to personalize her session.

KU Fan in an MU household | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I have to admit. When Heather mentioned she wanted to rep her team in her Daredevil Experience I was a little conflicted. You see - Heather is a KU fan…..and this is an MU household. Could I set my team bias aside and honor her wishes?!…..

Of course I could!!! This is a judgment free zone and we don’t yuck someone else’s yum around here! ;)

All joking aside - Heather freaking killed her session! She had killer outfit choices and legs fo dayyyyys.

Amber brought the friggin’ HEAT for her session. This girl was busting out the sultry gazes and pouty lips doin’ the damn thing! I love that Amber came in to do this session as a boost in confidence for herself. She is an absolutely stunning mama and ridiculously funny!

Overflowing with Personality | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I love how much personality Ashley included in her all of her boudoir sets for her Divulged Daredevil Experience. We included a little bit of everything that represents who Ashley is at this point in her life. I love that all of the studio sets are versatile enough to allow us to customize them further to your vibe.

TikTok Made Me Do It | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Her Luxury Wing boudoir set was a classic case of “TikTok made me do it.” But I CERTAINLY am not mad about it. I came across this video on TikTok and immediately thought of Kelsey’s upcoming session. It was so much fun covering her legs with rhinestones for an extra punch of glitz and glamour.
