boudoir sessions
Boudoir sessions are an awesome way to get some great photos of yourself and have a "treat yourself" kinda day away from regular life stresses!
Why Should I do this?
Sure... I know what you are thinking... "This is totally weird and I'm not sure I want this strange chick to take pictures of me in my underwear." Well... while it is weird and kinda awkward its a really cool way to give a super personal gift to your loved one for your wedding day, anniversary gift or a sexy valentines day gift.
It's also a really great treat for yourself. Honestly, when do you get an hour to yourself to get your hair and makeup done and just feel really sexy? You can take this time for you - get away from the kids, every day life, planning for the wedding and just take some time feeling absolutely beautiful in your own skin.
Size does NOT matter! Every body is beautiful in its own way and we will be sure to focus on what you love the most about you!
what to expect
-
First we’ll touch base and review the plan for the session
-
We’ll get good and acquainted so when the camera comes out, captures don't seem forced or awkward
-
During the session we’ll make sure any adjustments to wardrobe, hair or set are made on the fly so all captures are optimal
-
Capturing portraits lasts 60 minutes

hair & makeup
Please note that hair & makeup is NOT included in my boudoir packages unless otherwise noted for a special.
-
Wear your hair down. Silky, cascading hair is seductive, and will allow for a variety of posing options. Bring along clips or accessories if you’d like to put it up for a few shots, maybe to show off body art or earrings.
-
Try not to wander too far outside your comfort zone. If you love being dressed up in sparkles and heels, then full-on dramatic makeup will look perfect on you. But if you’re more bohemian or sporty, it might not feel natural to go for all-out glam.
-
A good set of false lashes will make your eyes pop and is always flattering in portraits.
-
Consider having your hair and makeup done professionally. You won’t regret it.
