boudoir
These photoshoots are an absolute blast and that’s definitely how it should be! I believe boudoir should be more about the celebration of the beauty of the human body and conveying personality in every photo. My approach is heavily influenced by a more art forward approach that emphasizes beauty without forced poses, instead focusing natural beauty. Each and every session is calm, confidence inspiring, and fun. We’ll flip on some favorite tunes and you’ll be guided through each natural and gorgeous pose. Though almost all of my clients choose private shoots, my public boudoir work has graced the pages of some of the most prestigious publications in the country such as White Wren, Wedding Sparrow, and more. I take pride in an elegant, simplicity first style of boudoir that has been praised for it’s refined and approachable aesthetic.
Collections include everything you need to get started: time in a private studio (though many choose their own location!), the session itself, professional hair & makeup, and the final edited photos in a private gallery. Most clients choose popular add-ons such as a keepsake box or an album. Our keepsake boxes are handmade black walnut boxes filled with archival quality prints that won’t fade with time. We have two options for albums, a linen one and a premium leather one. Each one is handmade in the United States and uses archival quality prints. Individual prints are available as well through your personal client portal.
