I think this a very important question to ask any photographer that you work with no matter what types of photos you’re doing. How long have I been shooting boudoir?

I have been shooting boudoir, as of May 2013. My first client was a friend of mine who came in at the end of May 2013 just to see if I could actually do boudoir, which is what helped me build my studio. After that, I had a couple of shoots with my hair and make up artists so that they could understand what the experience is like for my clients. This way they could talk to clients during hair and make up about what happens during the shoot, how I shoot and photograph, and help make the experience better for my clients.

Then I had my first paying client a couple of months later. It was another friend of mine but it was the first time I was charging someone, so to me this was the beginning of my boudoir career. A couple of months after that I had my first person find me through a Google search which was a huge thing for me. I finally felt like everything I had done to that point finally paid off. From there, my client base grew, my mentor began sending people to me, people were telling their friends and I was finally realizing my boudoir photography dream!

As I look back, I say it’s been three years but really in the past two and a half years, it’s exploded. Right now I’m booking three to four months out and clients are coming from everywhere to get with me. I’m so excited to meet more clients and explore where my boudoir career will go.
