boudoir posing
I photograph women at so many different phases of their lives.
I talk a lot about women coming to me who have gone through huge life events and they want to document themselves in an intimate way. I also have women who want to be photographed because they want an experience all their own, as a form of self-love.
What I’ve noticed is that every single person that’s come to me has been searching for something.
Read MoreThese two have such a special bond and we wanted to capture it in a unique way. This wasn’t a bachelorette boudoir party, this wasn’t to put on sexy lingerie for their partners, this was to slow down and be in intimate moments with each other and themselves. There really is a special bond between women and I hope I captured a little piece of that.
Read MoreI get so many emails and calls with women who say something along the lines of, “I’ve been dreaming of doing a session like this for years, but I’m still a little scared.” Or “I’ve been following your work for years and was always to afraid to reach out. It was too real if I contacted you.”
It’s amazing to me the amount of women that are yearning for a boudoir session. I honestly can’t stand the word “boudoir” as it doesn’t feel true to what I’m trying to convey for my clients. I would rather call them “Discovery Sessions”.
The best thing to remember is that you aren’t doing this alone.
I’ve got you.
And, you’ll soon discover that you’re braver than you think and that YOU’VE got you.
Read MoreI just got off of a phone call with a fellow boudoir photographer who was inquiring about my one-on-one mentoring sessions. We talked for over an hour about why we do this, why it’s SO incredibly important for women to experience these sessions, and why we do in-person sales (as opposed to just throwing the digital files at our clients and making them figure it out). No matter what is said or learned, it always comes down to the fact that we do this for HER; the client. I won’t lie and tell you this job is easy, it’s not. We spend about 10% of our time actually photographing and the other is spent on our business. We market, network, budget, figure out the best products for our clients, order samples, continue our education, do consultations, do ordering sessions, drive hours to our clients locations, etc. We lose sleep, wondering how to continue to provide a one-of-a-kind luxury service that will set us apart from other photographers. It’s a constant rollercoaster of having incredible highs and really low lows. So why? Why am I still doing this, after 10 years in business and 20 years of photographing?
Read MoreI’m sharing Erin’s boudoir session, again, because it’s being featured on Bajan Wed and I’m still in love with every photograph.
Erin's boudoir session is still one of my favorites. She came a little unsure of how the session would go. She, like every woman, has insecurities and doubts. This is honestly why I believe that every woman should do a boudoir session at some point in her life (if not multiple times). She showed up with her sister who ended up being her biggest cheerleader. It was such an encouraging and empowering session. It was three women constantly praising Erin and letting her know just how phenomenal she is. It was something that radiated so far beyond her beautiful face and elongated body.
