Sensuous, lacy Agent Provocateur lingerie. Snap. A classic pair of Louboutin heels. Snap, snap. Hair styled in gorgeous long waves. Makeup on point. Snap, snap, snap. There are boudoir photography shoots, and then there are luxury boudoir photography shoots. The difference? A luxury shoot shows you the “wow”. It’s a start-to-finish experience that goes beyond your wildest expectations. And it stays with you. Forever. A luxury boudoir photography shoot begins long before you walk into the studio. It starts when the photographer answers your inquiry and takes a lot of time to get to know the real you. She asks you questions like… “What does sexy mean to you?” “Why are you interested in doing a session?” “Who do you admire? Why?” By the time you walk though that studio door, you and your photographer already know each other. You’ve chatted and laughed. You’ve told her about your insecurities. But there’s a sense of comfort and ease because to you, she feels like a rock. She promises to introduce you to your inner goddess, and somehow you know – without meeting her in person yet – that she’ll deliver. Yes, you’re nervous… But you’re also excited to feel 100% amazing.

If you’ve had your eye on the news this week, you may have noticed quite a few articles talking about women struggling to find confidence. “Women are held back in the workplace by a lack of confidence in their own abilities,” Refinery 29 wrote as they explored the alarming trend of low confidence in women in tech. It’s not just tech, though, Ladies. It’s everywhere. Blistex, the lip care product brand, recently conducted a survey of British women. The topic: Confidence. The results: The women surveyed said they felt bad about themselves an average of 4 times a day. 61% said that they didn’t think of themselves as being confident. 7% said they never felt confident at all. And 28% said their confidence was easily altered. Yes, we are certainly in a confidence crisis and it’s time we made a real change. None of us deserves to feel bad about ourselves — and certainly not 4 times per day! I know that achieving self love is much easier said than done. Confidence doesn’t come easy – especially in a society that’s constantly showing us images of what it believes we should look like. As if we should all fit the […]
“Boudoir to me is a beautiful, artistic visual language expressing love, passion and all the feels,” my recent client Tonya told me. Wow, was she on point! I really could not have described the experience better myself! When Tonya first contacted me, she told me that she was in a long-distance relationship with the love of her life. Her goal: To give him an incredible collection of boudoir photography images to show him how she felt about him. As you can see from the photos below, she certainly achieved this! Before our photo shoot, I discovered that Tonya’s inspiration was Marylin Monroe. “Sexiness to me means sultry, playful and seductive,” she said. In her sexy boudoir session, we were able to capture this sentiment perfectly. While a boudoir session is something that can make us ladies feel confident and empowered, it’s also one of the most perfect gifts to give to a significant other. Imagine the look on your guy’s face when he sees you in your fiercest, most gorgeous moments. I truly can’t wait to hear what Tonya’s boyfriend thinks of her photos. After Tonya saw the results of her session, she sent me this little note: Hi Evgenia, […]
As we wave goodbye to 2018, many of us have great intentions to kick off the next 12 months in a fabulous way. The problem with New Year’s resolutions, though, is that they’re rarely kept. Sure, we may start off strong – but by the time week two of January rolls around we’re typically back to our old ways. Maybe the problem is that we don’t make the right resolutions in the first place. Perhaps if our resolutions made us feel sexy, we’d want to see them through! So in honor of 2019, here’s 4 sexy New Year’s resolutions that you may want to keep… Out with the old, in with the new! Wearing gorgeous, sexy underwear not only makes you feel empowered, but it’s a true act of self care. No matter what type of clothes you’re wearing, it’s what’s underneath that makes you feel your best! Start off this year by splurging on some beautiful, sexy bras and panties that make you feel like the goddess you really are. Toss in a teddy or a corset for good measure, too! Then clean out your undie drawer and get rid of old things that make you feel blah. There’s […]
Like many women, you may be preparing to do a boudoir photoshoot in the new year. Maybe you’re planning to give the photos to your honey as the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. Or perhaps you’re using the session as a well-deserved break after the hectic holidays are over. Whatever your reason is for booking a boudoir shoot, I have a warning for you… It’s going to change your life. I’m not talking about a few minutes of feeling good. I mean that this experience is going to drastically alter everything you do in the days, weeks and even years to come. All I can say is: You’ve. Been. Warned. After a boudoir shoot, suddenly everything you ever wanted – everything on the other side of fear – will come in to focus. For the first time in years, you’ll feel the drive to really go after these things without hesitation. You may say “enough” and walk away from a bad relationship or job. You may get the urge to travel, even if it’s alone. You may take a huge leap and give your heart completely and totally to someone. Boudoir shows you that you can do […]

It’s that time again. Yep, I’m talking about the holiday season! Now, while some of you may already be playing festive tunes and drinking wine by the fire, I know there’s a lot of you out there who feel pretty stressed. You may be sipping that wine and thinking… “Ugh, I have no clue what to buy him!” “I really surprised him last year… Now I’m thinking about getting him a watch. He has a drawer full of watches, by the way.” “I want to get my girl something extra special, but how am I supposed to guess what she wants?” Let’s face it – it’s tough to come up with the perfect gift to wow your significant other. I’m not just talking about a little wow, either… I’m talking about a gift that will leave its recipient stunned and speechless. In a good way… a VERY good way. I’m talking about a boudoir gift!

Self-confidence… It’s so easy to lose and so hard to build. How many times have you felt like you’re in an uphill battle, fighting to feel good about yourself? The path to self-love sure isn’t easy. But it does help to realize that you’re not alone. I’d love to help you to look ahead to 2019 with new hope and tons of courage. I’d also love to help you discover a new level of confidence you never knew was possible. So without further ado, here’s… My Tips for Feeling More Confident in 2019 Let’s make 2019 the year to let go of the “I can’t” mentality and turn it into “I can”! Your attitude means everything when it comes to keeping your confidence level high. It does take a bit of practice to get into this positive mindset, but it helps if you can start small. Give yourself a little compliment each day when you look in the mirror. You’d be surprised at how a simple thing like this can help you start feeling good about yourself. Choose your tribe wisely. Surround yourself with people who inspire positive thoughts and leave behind those who make you doubt your […]
It’s been a bit of a challenging year for women across the globe. But guess what? I sense that 2019 is going to be incredible for us. Because girls are strong. We are smart. And we are all beautiful inside and out. What better time than this Thanksgiving week to reflect on the reasons to be thankful for being a woman. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or your worth as a woman, you MUST read through these! We’re bad asses… but gentle at the same time. It’s no secret that women are naturally built for toughness! Just think about how difficult it is to carry a child in your womb for 9 months and then bring a little human into this world. If that isn’t a sign of strength, I don’t know what is! Women without children are no different. We work hard and care for ourselves and our loved ones with a passion that runs deep. It’s just in our nature to do so… and that makes us total bad asses! We make life beautiful. What’s the difference between a bachelor pad and a couple’s home? A woman! We can’t help it… We simply love to make things […]
Are you wondering what it’s like to get in front of the camera with the love of your life and take some sensual shots? Are you just a tad bit curious what it’s really like to do a couples boudoir photoshoot? Well, it can be summed up in three words: HOT, HOT, HOT! Just take a look at the photos from one of my latest couples boudoir sessions here in my Industry City studio… This amazing couple totally rocked! As you can see from the digital evidence, the energy between them was absolute fire! I had such an incredible time capturing their passion and love for each other. Their shoot was full of laughter and fun, and they told me that they can’t wait to come back for more! If you’re hesitant to book a session, don’t be. I know that you and your partner may feel nervous before the couples photoshoot begins, but trust me, those feelings will quickly disappear. Although the session can include various states of undress (if you want it to), you don’t have to do anything that you’re not comfortable with. I’ll show you how to pose for the camera so you don’t have […]
Boudoir photography means the world to me. If you look around my website and check out my Facebook group, you’ll clearly see that it is my world. So when I hear someone say how nervous they are to have their first boudoir shoot, I feel the need to put them at ease. It becomes my mission to show them how amazing the experience really is. After all, the last thing I want is someone to feel fear or anxiety, especially about their bodies. Save those emotions for job interviews or going to the dentist! But on a serious note, I know that thinking about stripping down in front of a stranger can feel nerve-wracking. As boudoir photographer, my number one priority on the day of your shoot is to make you feel totally at ease. My studio is a space that truly allows you to step out of your comfort zone. In fact, I like to call it the “judgment-free zone”! You might think that women who are naturally confident or have bikini bodies are the only ones who take boudoir photos. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, a huge percentage of boudoir photography clients are […]
Do you think every body is sexy? I do. And it’s not just because I’m a boudoir photographer. It’s because I’m a woman who knows that sexy is a state of mind. In my profession, I’m always getting asked questions like… “What if I’m not sexy enough for this photo shoot?” “Will this lingerie make me look good in photos?” “Am I curvy enough?” “Am I too curvy?” Our society tries as hard as it can to dictate what sexy is. Why? Well, because products need to be sold. Movies need to be watched. And website traffic needs to be generated. Remember that the next time you feel inadequate while looking at models in magazines or celebrities on gossip sites. No thanks to society, our brains have become hardwired to believe that being sexy means being perfect. Because of this, the little voice in the back of our minds plays on repeat, asking if we’re really good enough. Oftentimes, we’re not sure. Our pants feel too tight, our grays are starting to show and we just want to hide. This type of thinking can wreak havoc on our personal lives, and some of us even develop self-destructive habits […]
The fact that you’re reading this means that a doing boudoir shoot has you a tiny bit interested! So what’s your reason for wanting to take sensual, classy photos? Are you planning to give them to your significant other for your anniversary? Are you looking to rekindle your romance with your other half? Or have you been feeling kind of down about yourself lately, and you hope boudoir can help you feel good again? If you fall into this last category, more power to you! The decision to do something amazing for yourself is the first step to getting your power back. Let’s face it… we women often have a hard time spoiling ourselves. We work, we raise families, and we just don’t have a lot of time. Sometimes it feels like we’re being selfish to take any time off at all. And when we do sneak in a few private minutes, we often look in the mirror and feel critical of ourselves. Sometimes we wish we didn’t even look in the first place. Sound familiar? This… after all of the incredible things we do! We fail to see that we’re beautiful, and in that, we fail ourselves. You […]
I’m a firm believer that the best gifts can’t be bought at a store. They need to come straight from the heart! But I know it can be really tough to think of special gifts like these. They’re truly one in a million, because they make the recipient feel like they’re the number one person on the planet. The great news, though, is that boudoir is one of these rare gifts! When it’s your guy’s birthday (or your own special day), boudoir is the way to go! There are few things more badass than a sexy woman who’s confident in her own skin – whether she’s thin, plus size, or anything in between. It’s hard not to appreciate a woman who feels beautiful! If you’re thinking of taking birthday boudoir photos, realize that you don’t have to do a nude photo shoot. You can show as little or as much skin as you want. After all, when you feel sexy, you look sexy! Boudoir As Birthday Gift For Him Men can be notoriously hard to shop for when it comes to birthday gifts. This year, why not make the gift yourself and surprise your sweetheart with birthday […]
