Boudoir Photography

Ok, let’s get this out of the way right here. First of all, you are beautiful. How do I know? Because beauty comes from within. It’s the light that’s already glowing inside you. I’m going to bring that light to the surface and let everyone see it. Secondly, being “photogenic” is a myth. It’s all about using the best light, proper posing, and genuine expressions. I specialize in modern, authentic portraits and I can give that to you too.

When have you last seen a picture of yourself that you love? Really love. Has it been 10 years? Back on your wedding day? A quick candid someone took at a get together? Listen to me: your weight is the least interesting thing about you. I can take 10 lbs off you just with posing alone! (no kidding). Trust me, let’s focus on making you feel and look amazing. You deserve these portraits. And your family doesn’t care what size you are. They love you just the way you are.

I work with a professional makeup artist and she’s the best at listening to exactly what you want. We even have visual guides here at the studio to show you, so you are both on the same page. She specializes in camera ready makeup. She knows exactly the right application to help you look great on camera - including turning up the volume on your eye makeup and adding beautiful definition to your eyes with lash extensions. She also knows what NOT to do. For example, she would never use the day-to-day products that would make you look shiny or shimmery, because on camera that would read as greasy. Instead she uses pro products that make your skin appear flawless on camera. If you’ve seen the images on my website, 100% of these women have benefited from using the services of our pro makeup artist. If there’s anything you wish to tweak before we start shooting, we can do that too!

Before your shoot, we will have a consultation to discuss how you dream of being photographed. You’ll be able to bring multiple looks. I will guide you so you choose clothing that looks fabulous on you and photographs well. Most women have items in their closet that would work just fine. I also have a studio wardrobe you can peek in to see if something catches your eye. Have a great hat you’d love to wear? Bring it!

No matter what you bring we will have such a fun time!

I get it! Please know that you are in a safe space. My hair and makeup artist is here the whole time and you are even welcome to bring a friend to hang out while we photograph you. Your comfort is the most important part of this process. I can’t emphasize this enough. We have robes in the studio to wear in between shooting, and we will go at YOUR pace. Thought you’d want to do something more revealing but want to change your mind? No problem. You aren’t locked into anything. I want you to LOVE your portraits and making you feel at ease is the first step.

I direct my clients to adjust their own wardrobe/clothing throughout the shoot unless you request otherwise. I am all about open communication with my clients and your comfort level.

My clients have 100% control over what is and is not shared publicly. You can choose to keep all images 100% private. You can choose to share all of them. You can choose to share only the ones you tell me I can share. Period. No exceptions. You will make this choice AFTER you have seen your photos. If you give me permission to share, I will only tag you on social media with your permission.
