Should I do a boudoir photoshoot?

Boudoir and intimate portraiture can be life changing. No joke! Years ago I witnessed a woman break down into tears after seeing herself in her photos and since adding it to my business and working with stylists, we’ve been able to replicate that same thing that got me into boudoir in the beginning. That emotional connection. That life changing moment of seeing everyday women who loose sight of that beauty that they “thought they once had” or that they feel is impossible to see after years of building families, careers, adventures and life’s affect on the minds and body.

From the moment you get your hair and makeup done to the moment you step in front of the camera, to when you see your images from your photoshoot, that spark that we help you re-light that fire inside of you. It gives you a visual reminder that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE STRONG, YOU ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!

YOU ARE A GODDESS!

Consultation and Booking

When you decide that you want to try a boudoir session, it can be nerve racking, especially if it’s your first time. As the owner and photographer and of course the one who captures you in front of the camera, I love to get on the phone with you and discuss options with you. From why you want to do it, to what to wear, to pricing and how every world and how we can make it a wonderful experience for YOU!

Hair and Makeup

On the day of your photoshoot, you come in with a clean face and hair. One of my amazing, talented, fun and of course trained stylist will work their magic while getting to know you and making the prep work leading up to the photoshoot fun and exciting, as well as an eye opening glimpse of what you look like, A GODDESS!

The Photoshoot

Most of the clients who come in for a session are mothers. Most of them also have never done a photoshoot like this before or at all until the day of their session. So it can be a whole new experience altogether for them. When you come in for your session, you don’t have to have any posing experience. During your session, I will direct you with the best poses that flatter your body type, get the best angles in the best light and mood, and help you get a variety of poses that leave you in awe of the results when you see your photos later.

The Reveal

After your session, we will sit down after about an hour from finishing your session where you can get a bite to eat while I edit your images. After returning to to the studio, I will show you the best images from your session where you’ll be able to pick the ones that you absolutely love.

If you happen to be in a time crunch, I can edit your images and schedule a day for you to return and I will show you the best images from your session, where you’ll be able to pick them out then and order products from your session

I want the viewing session to be a moment to reflect on how amazing you look and feel and don’t want you to feel rushed. I will accommodate your schedule.
