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!

If you keep up on the latest health and beauty news, self care is something that you’ve probably read about. A lot. Sure, you know how important it is. But do you really follow through with the good intentions you have for your body, mind and spirit? If your days are filled with juggling a career, family, and other responsibilities, it’s easy to make self care an afterthought. But this needs to change! You won’t be able to care for anyone unless you take care of yourself first. Since the seasons are changing, right now is really the best time to plan some self care tactics for the fall. *Hint… One of them includes a boudoir shoot! The great outdoors is calling. Does your mood tend to feel gloomy during the autumn months? If you live in a cold-weather climate, the lack of sunshine can play a big role in this. After all, lower vitamin D levels can make you feel weak and sluggish. So make a proactive decision to go outside during fall. Get as much sunlight as you can while enjoying the amazing, colorful leaves. You can even exercise outside for an added bonus. If […]
When you think about boudoir photography, do you think about taking sexy pictures to give as an intimate gift to a significant other? If so, you’re not wrong… Many women take boudoir pictures for this reason. But did you realize that a huge percentage of boudoir photography clients are actually single women? It’s true! Doing a boudoir photo shoot as a single woman can be so freeing and empowering. It’s not only a testament to self-love, but it can also be the ultimate confidence booster. Boudoir allows single women to tap into their inner goddesses. Boudoir photography can do wonders for your self-confidence, as it allows you celebrate your sexuality. Being able to do that on your own – and not for someone else – is such an incredible feeling. In your day-to-day life, you probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your sexuality.

This will truly make you feel like a queen. Once you tap into your inner goddess, you’ll be floored at how […]

“If I had to pick a celebrity who embodies sex appeal – I’d say Salma Hayek,” Miss K told me. “I remember watching From Dusk Till Dawn. Have you seen it? That scene where she dances with the snake… and thinking wow she’s so confident… so sure of herself.“ I had to agree with Miss K. Salma Hayek is one of the most beautiful — and wisest — women in Hollywood. “Three words that define my version of sexy are: confident, bold, secure,” Miss K continued. “Those are words I do NOT think of when I think of myself.” Let’s change that, I thought! Miss K told me that she found my reviews and photos in The Knot. She contacted me about taking an engagement boudoir photo shoot. Her goal, though, was to gain a new perspective and a new way of thinking about her body. Like Salma Hayek, Miss K is a wise woman! Society can make us all feel pressured to look great, even when we don’t feel great. This often results in us being so hard on ourselves. I wanted Miss K throw away all of these negative feelings and just have fun for a day. […]
I don’t feel so great about myself anymore. When was the last time you thought this? Believe me, Ladies, everyone struggles with confidence at one time or another. This is true no matter what you look like or how successful you are. Sometimes we just don’t feel our best, and we wonder how we got to this point. How are we supposed to snap out of this mindset and see the beauty in our lives and in ourselves? By having confidence… that’s how! “I lost my mother a couple of years ago, gained considerable weight and felt deeply insecure about my body,” Miss K wrote in her review of our recent boudoir session. “Yet, I wanted to take boudoir photos for my partner’s 50th birthday. I wanted to give him a special gift, but I also wanted to remind myself that my beauty is still there, no matter my weight.” Not only did I find Miss K to be absolutely gorgeous, but I also discovered that she’s incredibly smart. She knows that beautiful women come in every shape and size. It’s not about the size you wear — it’s how you wear your size. And if you have curves, […]
“Hi! I would like to have some beautiful shots taken sometime in June. I have breast cancer and will be having my mastectomy in July and want photographs before big changes happen to my body. I want something that reflects both beauty and strength.” This is an excerpt from an email that I received earlier this summer. It came from my client, Miss D. She’s one of the strongest and most empowering clients I have had the honor to photograph. “My celebrity style icon is Joan from Mad Men,” she told me. “I wear a lot of vintage, including vintage lingerie. I would say the sexiest things are strength, confidence, and playfulness.” Ladies, whatever you’re going through in life, remember to love yourself. There will be good times and bad, but guess what? You’ll get through it. You’re tough. You’re powerful, and you’re uniquely YOU. Do yourself a favor too… Stop worrying about the little things. The stretch marks. The wrinkles. The grey hair. They. Don’t. Matter. The secret to happiness isn’t being beautiful. It’s about realizing that life is beautiful. It’s about embracing your body, even when it’s going through a tough time. In those […]
