All of my boudoir shoots are special and truly unique since every client is different. However, it’s extra special for me when I have a friend come in and trusts me enough to do a boudoir shoot for them. When I’m with my friends every day, I see their beauty but I don’t ever talk about boudoir or me wanting them to do a boudoir but in the back of my mind I’m thinking, “Man,  I can’t wait until she contacts me to do a boudoir.”

Here are just a few photos from her shoot.  More are coming soon!

I’ve talked about why I photograph boudoir before but I love it. I have a passion for boudoir and working with women is something really special for me. Seeing transformations in the women I photograph, not just through how they look but through their confidence, is one of the reasons why I love my job. After her shoot, this woman couldn’t stop telling me how amazing she felt and that to me is something special. I feel like women should feel good about themselves everyday and I know that somedays are better than others but it’s amazing to see what happens and what comes out of these sessions, not for me but for them. I hear things that marriages are getting stronger, relationships with themselves are stronger, and that’s something hard for me to put into words. Why do I do it? If I’m really thinking about it, at the end of the day, it’s because I like to make women feel the way I never felt about myself. I don’t feel bad about myself in this moment and I’ve accepted who I am but when I was younger, I never felt confident in who I was.

That’s how I felt about this woman. We’ve been good friends for years, were in each other’s weddings, and when she finally decided to take a leap into a boudoir shoot, I was so excited about it. All day I was being contacted by her husband as he was so excited for this photo shoot but I was so happy to be able to give her this experience.

I’m a part of my friend’s daily lives, I get to see what their struggles are, what their accomplishments are, and I get to share in that. When I know that I have a friend who needs a boudoir shoot, it’s added pressure for me that I give her a day where she’s not worried about the kids, not worried about getting dinner ready. She’s just worried about herself and having a good time. I love to see my clients and friends smile or laugh during their shoots, it makes me giddy inside.

And good news for all my clients – you become friends! 🙂
