Why should I do a boudoir session?

Boudoir is lovely for brides, newlyweds, or couples that have been together forever. One client said to me that, while she definitely enjoys the images now, she’s also looking forward to flipping through them with her husband when they’re both in their 80s so they can ~remember when~ (awesome).

But, you know?, if you’re single, I think boudoir’s a pretty fabulous way to celebrate yourself — the images don’t have to be for anyone else’s eyes to be special.

Also, as far as I’m concerned, boudoir should be FUN! Maybe you spend the morning getting a massage and a mani/pedi before the hair & makeup stylist polishes your look. Maybe you have a friend with you, and you’re both sipping champagne and munching on chocolate-dipped strawberries while you’re prepping. Maybe we’re jamming to Taylor Swift, or Enya, or Avett Brothers, or Nicki Manaj as we begin rocking the session. However you’d like this time to unfold — whatever gets you feeling comfortable, safe, sensual, and happy — the point of the shoot is not only to capture beautiful imagery but also to remember having a fantastic day!

I like to think of these sessions as being about capturing yourself as you are right now, delighting in peeling back the layers (literally & figuratively) that reveal intimacy and authenticity.
