The feedback I get when I deliver boudoir photos is such a wonderful thing. To hear how much she loves the images, that she will be treasuring them for a lifetime, the happy disbelief in I can’t believe this is me! That last bit especially – the words of happy surprise – are a huge part of why I love doing the sessions so much. Because I really want to show you how pretty you are. Because so many of us girls {myself included!} don’t necessarily have the perfect relationship with our bodies. Because we’re worried about this here or that there, because on a daily basis it’s easy to overlook what can make you unique and beautiful.

As I’ve mentioned before, the session is a wonderful gift for your man (for J it’s going to be a sweet anniversary gift for her hubby) but in the end, when you can get a peek of yourself in this light, that you’re beautiful through and through, inside and out, it’s really a gift for yourself. Thank you so much J for trusting me to photograph you and allowing me to share a few here – you are absolutely gorgeous in every way!

I so love photographing boudoir sessions. The basic idea is of course for them to have a sexy appeal, but I always find myself wanting to shoot them in a way that is more subtle – soft, romantic, feminine, classy. If this sounds like fun to you, do send me an email, I’d love to get you in front of my camera! :)

Remember way back when when I did a boudoir marathon up in SF? I’m so excited to finally share a few of my favorites below! Love the fresh & modern feel of the hotel, the ludicrous light we had coming in through the bay windows (also, I LOVE BAY WINDOWS), and of course, the gorgeous girls we had the honor of photographing.

I absolutely adore shooting boudoir sessions – and I still maintain that although I’m sure your man would love to have some beautiful boudoir photos of you, documenting yourself in a lovely & sexy way is ultimately a gift to yourself! :)
