There is something to be said about being unapologetically yourself! Showing up open, vulnerable, and as you are is so important to boudoir. If you can show up as an honest version of you, then you can reach a level of self love that you never imagined in such a short period of time.

At every session I give clients a rundown of whats about to happen. One of the things I always say is to not worry about laughing during the session because laughter is sexy too! Besides, getting half way naked in front of someone who is essentially a stranger while they snap portraits of you can feel awkward at first, so I would rather you laugh through your session than to force vixen face, when its not needed! This stunner is living proof of just how sexy smiling can be! Her smile is an extension of her confidence and it shines bright throughout her session! When she visited me in studio he ..read more

The biggest fear I hear out of perspective clients and current clients who haven’t had their session is that they have never done a boudoir session before. That they have no idea what they would be doing or if they can even do a session like this.

Maternity boudoir is one of my all time favorites. Along the lines, someone decided that once you become a mother its all over. No more fun, no more flirty, and no more sexy. Maternity boudoir takes that idea and throws it right in the face of society like a big messy pie! Mommies are sexy, especially pregnant ones! I mean, how do you think these babies got here?

We did an at home session for her in Durham NC and played with her concept of having the focus be in the background!   View fullsize View fullsize View fullsiz ..read more
