I have been a part of the wedding community for many years. While I rarely shoot weddings anymore, I am still deeply connected to many of the individuals that plan, cater and orchestrate amazing heart felt wedding day celebrations. I have continued to participate in many of our community events, as I feel boudoir is still part of the process. I understand every step of the way as I was present in hundreds of weddings for nearly two decades. If you have any questions about your up and coming wedding I am happy to help and point to in the direction of some amazing DJ’s, florists, bakers, planners, and venue coordinators.

Bridal Boudoir, more for them or more for you?

Bridal Boudoir a Gift for You Too

Boudoir is a specialized gift that shows your confidence and is one of a kind

Bridal boudoir, also a gift for yourself.

You may have heard that boudoir is the perfect groom’s gift. It is. But you may not realize that this experience is truly a gift for the bride.

Boudoir photography was introduced as the “sexiest gift for the groom” not too long ago and the new trend really took off rapidly as more and more grooms received these gifts and were left speechless. As a photographer that was a part of this new movement, it was very fun to see momentum and words spreading as groomsmen watched the grooms’s eyes widen with amazement as they saw him open his secret album just minutes before seeing his bride walking down the aisle toward him.

A must-have item. Boudoir was once considered too risqué or taboo and it has now converted into what I love it to be… a private celebration of the beauty and confidence of intimacy within a couple. And not just for the couple as a unit, individually for the bride herself as well.

Boudoir is a way to celebrate and document what as old as time, has been one of the most special traditions in womanhood… the season of wedding preparation. It is much different than it was even 100 years ago. Now you have pinterest, wedding magazines, and trying to figure out your #wedding hashtag.

The overall anticipation and tradition remains. While our preps definitely look different, the sweet sentiment swirling in a bride’s heart is all the same as it ever was. She radiates with the hopes, wines, and dreams this memorable time inspires. And as a photographer, I love that I get to celebrate and document the bride, aglow with anticipation and rosy with the frantic pace that accompanies this season.

It’s wonderful seeing our brides experiences. She comes to the studio, feeling nervous, but eager for the pampering. She enjoys the confidence boosting experience more than she ever thinks she will, feeling better in her own skin when she leaves, and she romances her groom with this sweet gesture. It’s a win/win. As a boudoir photographer, I feel my job is to enter into that space with her, inspired to create something that represents her beautifully.

Again, I know exactly what you are going through… so much of the wedding prep is about tasks, to-do lists, deadlines. I love that a boudoir session is a time slow down, tune out the must do-dos, and to step into this season by being present. I highly encourage you to do this for your spouse-to-be, but even more so for yourself.

Give the Best Valentine's Day Gift of All: YOU!

Finding the perfect gift can feel like the hardest task of all. When you’re young, there are new trends, new hobbies, and new toys that always make great gifts. But there comes a point in our lives where it takes a lot of creativity to find the perfect gift—especially when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Maybe you feel like your partner has all the things they need and want. Or, maybe your partner is just the most difficult person to shop for… and you have run out of all your “go-to” gifts. But I have the solution for the best gift of all. What a better gift to unwrap than having them unwrap you!?

Give the Gift of YOU with a Boudoir Session

Be the gift that your partner unwraps. When they pull off the bow and tear off the wrapping paper, they open the package to reveal a saucy, confident beauty. This gift is so much more than an album, and so much more than a photo. A boudoir photography shoot can peel back the layers that you have wrapped yourself up in. The layers that you have put onto yourself that no one else sees.

As women, we can bury ourselves in insecurities and self-consciousness. Boudoir photography can help you to peel back those layers. You can begin shedding the less-than-wonderful comments and criticisms you have given yourself over the years. Leaving them behind can be a huge release! Seeing yourself as a beautiful and fierce woman can lift your perception of yourself to a higher level!

I myself have struggled like everyone with body image. Why is it we only see our flaws? Every morning as I get dressed, I look in the mirror at my body. I make sure to say positive things about how I love this and appreciate that. I have not always been like that towards myself. I have noticed, the more I tell myself that I love myself and my body, the better I actually treat it. The more you say it the more you believe it! So, start saying it. Would you be friends with someone who said the things you say to yourself? Be kinder to yourself. Love yourself.

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you put on in the morning.

A collection of tasteful boudoir photography images is a tangible reminder of who you are underneath all the outfits you own. A reminder of your core beauty. This is a truly unique gift that cannot be purchased online, and it shows effort and thought. You made a huge contribution to the making of the gift. Without your time, bravery and vulnerability it cannot be done.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and there is still time! I have THREE SPACES left for boudoir sessions. That is just the perfect amount of time to have a gift placed in his/her/their hands for that weekend of gushy romantic gestures.
