Booking a boudoir shoot can be exciting and overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help you find the boudoir photographer that is right for you. Aesthetic: What type of photos are you drawn to? Dark & moody, light & bright, something in between? Details, full body, mix of both? Emotive or just a pretty picture?

Some boudoir photographers don't have dedicated space, so you'll be renting a hotel or airbnb. Others have ..read more

Preparing for your boudoir can be stressful if you let it be. Take a breath and follow these 5 simple steps to prep for your best boudoir experience. Drink Water! Drinking water does lots of things for you. Staying properly hydrated can help you sleep better, reduce bloat, flushes toxins and help your skin glow. My go-to is water with lemon or of course sparkling waters of all flavors.

Make sure everything fit ..read more

Creating nude (semi-nude) art with your boudoir photographer takes bravery and trust. It can be liberating, self exploratory, scary as shit and can even lead to self appreciation. It certainly makes your wardrobe decisions very easy! Since the Middle Ages, the female form has been scrutinized, demeaned and used as "sinful" propaganda. Can you image?! Thankfully in the 1400's that all started to change. Appreciation for women's bodies began to grow. Painters, sculptors, sketchers & photographers alike expressed their admiration for the contrasting and complex qualities that make up a woman ..read more

Client (and dear friend) Blog -- Kate M Mom, karaoke star, food scientist, cancer survivor So, I am a person with a lot of history… also a Scorpio, born in the year of the Pig. (This ensures I am if nothing else, passionate, gluttonous, and interesting!). So, I was always good at everything I did … to be fair, I had asthma at a young age, so sports were not in the cards, though I am surprisingly athletic. Just took me a minute to discover that. I was always creative and analytical, which can be divergent, but I made it work. I straddled art and science for a very long time, and finally found m ..read more

Last November I joined a group of incredible boudoir photographers from all over US & Canada in San Antonio, Texas for a 3-day retreat. Learning, laughing, crying, photographing and making new friends. This was the first time I ever attended a small event like this and honestly, I was so nervous. The work of some of these photographers was super intimidating. Sometimes I have imposter syndrome -- like I don't belong, my work isn't good enough. Not once did this crew ever make me feel that way. More so they reassured me that I am on the right path. I think it is extremely important to keep ..read more

If your professional photographer understands how to leverage the light, accentuate curve and create separation, the possibilities are endless. Laying poses are so easy for my ladies, quickly boosts confidence and compliments all body types. We always have so much fun romping around on the bed and workin' those stairs. Check out a couple examples of my top laying poses. They are sure to get you inspired for your own session! Ready to sign up ..read more

Guest Blog: Jess D - Brand Ambassador, Business Owner and Mom “I’m going to need a strong drink,” I remember saying shortly after I walked through the door to my first boudoir session. Let me give some background: growing up my mom was a family photographer and I was constantly in front of the camera or helping her with lighting for clients. She even worked for a photo company at the mall for awhile, and my sister and I would go and get photos done just for fun sometimes. I also did theater, speech team and show choir in high school, so having an extremely extroverted personality was also some ..read more
