There are many reasons women have boudoir photographs taken. Some do it just for themselves, some to feel desirable and other do it for their lovers, knowing this visual and very personal gift makes for among the most special gifts a woman can give - a small taste of what is waiting underneath. Whatever the reason, I provide this specialized service sensitively, respectfully, and skillfully because it is about feeling comfortable with your photographer. I am a woman first and a photographer second and the only one who will edit your portraits. There simply is a comfort level because of that combination that make my clients feel at ease.

These sessions can take many forms depending on your level of comfort or personality. I typically shoot implied nudity for Boudoir portraits, where you're nude or "appear nude," but nothing is showing, for example, covering your breasts with you hair/hands, shots from the back and just the right placement of props over the important parts! I can even erase small straps and G-strings to make you appear as though you were nude when we took them. The illusion of being nude is more provocative than actually being naked.

If this sounds sexy, it's because it is supposed to be. It's not all about boas and overdone make-up, this is for you; you at your best and feeling sexy. While these are perfect "for his eyes only" wedding day gifts for a groom, you don't need to be a bride to do this. You can do boudoir photography as an anniversary, birthday, a special Father's Day gift or just because he's not expecting it. It can also be an exciting "just for YOU" moment.

Location:
With boudoir photography many women feel most comfortable in their own home for this type of shoot. Others prefer a studio environment. Still others have a wild side and dare to shoot "in the field", meaning a relatively safe and secure location lending a special sense of freedom and beauty to the images. Such as fields, old barns, streams and lakes, etc. I can accommodate any of these interests and preferences.

Attire:
First we need to try and decide on a theme, the finished prints will look better if we have a consistent "feel" during the session.

Make it playful or sultry, subtle or shy, or just let it happen. If you have an idea of what you're looking for, I will strive to provide that special image. You can wear a man's shirt, a towel or just a blanket. You can also wear jewelry, high heels, stilettos, stockings and other things that you find sexy. Lingerie of course is a consistent favorite, along with bikinis, tight minis, sheer clothing and any articles or objects that are of special significance to your intended viewer (a hat, football, jersey, guitar, etc). We also have a selection of fabrics, both sheer and solid, satins and the like as alternatives for that extra touch of glamour.

Prepare at least three different outfits, maybe get something new and surprise him with it on as you hand him the photos. Try to prepare outfits in different colors and styles to add variety to your shoot. Reds, blacks, whites and pinks are most popular, but it all depends on your style and taste. You should bring those outfits and articles of clothing that are most flattering on you because you will look best in your own clothing, including your wedding gown or just the nothings that will hide underneath.

Hair & Make-up
Josie Jordan a local Up-Do Specialist will be in-studio to help you with your hair and make-up, so don't be afraid to go a little wild, remember this is all about FUN, and PASSION for that special someone.

I can roll back the years and even "nip and tuck" so that you look your absolute best. I will do this only with your permission and/or at your request. This editing is done in a way so you look your best while we "keep you honest." I will do as little or as much editing to them as you want. These are your boudoir pictures and I will work with you to make them everything you want. I will give advice, but you are the boss.
