What is Boudoir?

Boudoir can be described as a type of intimate photo shoot. Often times women do boudoir photo shoots to gift to their partner during special holidays/anniversaries in their life. Boudoir can be a great way to document life changes like weight loss surgery, where a women finally can say she feels comfortable in her own skin. Many women who have done boudoir shoots with me have mentioned that the shoots have helped them gain confidence, and see their true beauty.

What to Expect During a Session?

As a photographer who is experienced in boudoir, I make it my main goal during the shoot to make sure my clients feel comfortable during the session. At our last event we had snacks and wine and mood music to ensure our ladies felt welcome. Boudoir sessions most often take place in a hotel room, and you will have choices of many different settings in the hotel room, depending on the theme/idea's you have prior to the shoot. I personally recommend putting together a theme and researching poses that you feel comfortable with to ensure that you are getting the most out of the shoot that you can.
