We believe that intimate photography should be about more than just the physical act of sex. It should be about capturing the love, dedication, commitment, and fantasies that couples share with one another. We think that's pretty darn sexy! Providing an open space of acceptance allows couples to unfold into one another, and their voice of intimacy is reflected into the images that are documented.

Trust in the Process of your Photographer

The process of a couples boudoir photo shoot is not much different than that of a solo boudoir session. We prepare you in much of the same way with consultations around self-care, lingerie, wardrobe, the day of photography experience and final art and albums that are offered. During your consultation we go over the timeline from when you book to your actual shoot in the studio, all the way to your order and reveal session. A couples boudoir session can be as modest or and sensual as you want it to be. If you are looking for something more erotic or kinky we can talk about that option as well. When it comes to privacy, that is up to you. Some of our couples opt to showcase their images on the website and other who are more private opt to keep them to themselves. It is 100% up to you how who sees your photos.

Who does a couples session?

Anyone who wants to spice things up, celebrate a milestone, design a hot steamy unique date night or just do something special with their loved one. I have had couples come in for 1 year, 7 year, 10 year and 25 year anniversaries. I have had couples who have been beaten down by the toddler between them in their bed. Couples who found themselves after their kids moved out. A parter who wanted to shower her lover in feeling like the diva she sees her as. Many couples just want to feel sexy with one another and the beautiful artwork created is a way to show that always.

Your last experience you felt weird being posed ?

We've heard that before, and it is okay. Most of the time couples are referencing their engagement shoot, wedding day or headshots. It is not uncommon to feel like you were put on display. A boudoir photography session is way more private, just the three of us. The way I pose is more natural and less contrived. I start you off with a fluid prompts that you would probably find yourselves doing anyway at home. We are in a private setting, and no one is watching. I will always make sure you look your best, and the wonderful part if it is, this photo session is about the candid moments of affection between the two of you.

Looking for a creative way to celebrate?

If these past couple of years have brought us anything, it really has tested our ability to be vulnerable and spend a lot of time with one another.  As we have slipped into new routines of social distance we are pushed closer to our immediate circle of intimacy.  Have we learned to distance ourselves or have learned to strengthen our  bonds with our partners. Either way it never hurts to focus on your intimacy whether it be emotional, mental, spiritual and yes of course physical. 

Boudoir photography is a special type of photography that is taken to promote self-esteem and body acceptance. Typically it is viewed as an empowering experience for women who are looking to celebrate a milestone in their lives. The reality is men can benefit from it too, and together couples can experience this journey as well.

You might be asking yourself, who does a couples boudoir session? Just ask yourself…..

Do you want to spice up your relationship? Do you want to do something that will be fun for both of you? Do you want to create a bond with your partner that you both can enjoy?

This article will cover some tips on how to prepare for a couples boudoir session to make the experience all the more enjoyable for both partners.

For the couples who are about to take this journey together, I want them to know that they are not alone.

It often starts with an impulse buy - you see an Instagram post of a boudoir session and think that it would be a good idea for your partner.

A professional photographer will teach you how to feel confident in your skin while capturing these moments in the most beautiful way possible.

It's all about taking charge of our sexuality, being comfortable in our own skin, and being able to share this with our partners.

Planning a couples boudoir session can feel challenging for some because we are working with two bodies, two minds, and three relationships. You have the relationship of the two people, and then their individual relationships of self. One partner might be a little more timid and shy than the other. Through a series of questions and getting to know you we discuss how to overcome any nervousness.
