What 3 things were you most nervous about going into your session? I was really nervous about looking awkward in the photos, the kind of facial expressions I was going to make, and overall just the whole newness of it all. How did the reality of your session compare to your expectations going into it? I felt so comfortable during my session. All my worries went out the window once we started. Everything that I had been nervous about before didn’t matter anymore. What was your favorite part of the experience? My favorite part was honestly creating a lasting memory with Ore that I’ll defini ..read more

Last year, Shannon and Sean traveled from Minnesota to Oklahoma City to step in front of my camera for a couples boudoir session. During their initial consultation via Zoom video, I couldn’t help but notice that their living room was a painted a beautiful shade of pink. I asked them how they felt about incorporating pink into their intimate portrait session, and they were both excited and intrigued by the creative possibilities. The portraits below are highlights from their couples boudoir session, along with feedback about their overall experience. Scroll below to see how we made pink happen ..read more

For so long, men expressing themselves was seen as weakness and something to be avoided. Encouragingly, the false narrative that men can only present themselves “a certain way” has been steadily declining to a place where many men are no longer held down by the gender norms of yesterday, and can embrace every part of who they are now. It’s okay to be vulnerable, it’s okay to present yourselves in ways that make you feel sexy - this is where strength comes in, the strength to simply portray your truest selves, and also the freedom to do it without fear. That portrayal looks different for each ..read more

Envisioning the day of a couples boudoir session can be scary for some. Especially for first-timers, there are a lot of unknowns that can lead to pre-shoot jitters.

There are, of course, elements that you and your better half will bring to the table, making the experience unique and special, but here is a list of moments to expect along the way. Before the session  I really mean it when I say that you can reach out via email or social media and ask me any questions about ..read more

I loved hanging out with Nikki and Emily and getting to hear about their relationship during their couples boudoir session in October. These two booked a session to celebrate 9 years together and 4 years married, and the joy and peace they had being in each other’s presence was an absolute honor and pleasure to be surrounded by as I hung out with them that morning through the afternoon. To have a more intimate feel, they borrowed a relative’s home for their boudoir session, and after Nikki whipped me up a delicious sweet potato and bacon hash brown casserole (um, I’d like to have this happen m ..read more

When Zane reached out to me about scheduling a boudoir session for himself, he mentioned being inspired by creative photos capturing musical artists Madonna and Britney Spears. Because he planned to use several of the photos from his boudoir portrait session for an album he is creating, he wanted something unique and eye catching. With the help of Titan, the over 100 pound albino Burmese Python (and Titan’s caretaker, who made sure Titan was treated well and taken care of while at the portrait session), Zane delivered all the goodness in his boudoir portraits! You can see all the goodness from ..read more

For this year’s Halloween creative photoshoot, I was inspired by the “sexy bunny” photoshoot done for Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman” album, released in 2016. I loved the photos, and was inspired to do my own take on the “sexy bunny” theme, but with a more masculine theme. So I partnered with one of my amazing muses Jon Stombres who accepted the “sexy bunny” challenge. To say I had a blast during this photoshoot would be an understatement; it was a combination of leather, fairy dust, and lace, and made for an overall winning combination. My makeup artist Gaby Zegans started the transformatio ..read more

This was Riza’s second time to step in front of my camera for a boudoir session, and I know it was going to be even better than the first boudoir session she did with me back in 2018. For this second time, Riza was up for anything. She was ready to shed her inhibitions and push past her comfort zones, while also knowing she was in safe hands with me. Even though it was her second boudoir experience, she was still nervous at the beginning of her session. Those initial butterflies are completely normal and expected. But after giving her direct and coaching her through the first couple of poses ..read more

I had the opportunity to work with two amazing souls, Rob and Mark-Che, on a creative couples boudoir session. Today, I’m sharing photos from the morning of the couples boudoir session. This is Part II of the series. In Part I, I shared more about my initial idea for this creative couples boudoir session, and shared more editorial style photos from the shoot in the second part of the day. To check out Part I, click here. While this was a couples boudoir “strangers session” - with Rob and Mark-ché only meeting for the very first time the morning of the session - their chemistry was instant ..read more

Nick and Amanda's session was full of lots of laughter and fun. Both Amanda and Nick described their relationship as goofy, fun and very playful, and it was evident throughout their couples boudoir session how comfortable they were together. After being in a relationship for over two years, it was clear to see the genuine love and affection they had for each other.  I like to incorporate couples personal interests into a couples boudoir session as much as possible, and Nick and Amanda's couples boudoir session was no exception.  They brought collars, harnesses and chains with them, a ..read more
