"I was fearful I would look goofy, like I feel I do when I try to take my own shots of myself..

I love being able to share what motivates women to have their own boudoir shoot and what it felt like leading up to their special day and after they have had their boudoir shoot. Below, you will read about one woman's experience and see some of her boudoir photographs. What motivated you to have a boudoir session? Honestly, my husband was transferred out of state for work for about 2 years and this is one of my attempts to remain close as well as unpredictable. I am a very co

How to plan the best wardrobe for your boudoir session

Inside the Boudoir Studio

I know it can be scary to book a Boudoir Photography Session. You have a million questions, yet don't really know what you should be asking. You want to make sure your boudoir photographer is reputable, makes you feel comfortable and that the studio is private and comfortable.
