What is Boudoir Photography?

What is Boudoir Photography to me? For starters, I’ll tell you what it’s not.

Boudoir Photography is NOT:

• just photos in underwear.
• for women only.
• lewd, obscene, vulgar, or gross.
• demeaning or shameful.
• perfection or what you think the perfect body should look like.
• only for people who are a very specific size, shape, age, gender, ethnicity, height, weight, ability, etc.
• just for the bedroom.

To me, Boudoir Photography is so much more than just a photoshoot. I photographed my first boudoir clients in 2010. As I’ve photographed hundreds of people over the years, my definition of boudoir photography has grown as I’ve grown as a photographer, artist, and person.

Boudoir Photography :

• is an experience for ALL HUMANS who want to encounter and embrace their version of BEAUTIFUL.
• is INCLUSIVE and RESPECTFUL.
• is feminine, masculine, and/or androgynous.
• is a GIFT for someone special… YOU ARE THE SOMEONE SPECIAL.
• is for YOUR BODY exactly as it is right now.
• is shame free and body positive.
• is an investment.
• is a way for you to SEE your SELF, your BEAUTY,  your ARTFUL BODY through another person’s eyes.
• appreciates the human body in its many versions.
• can be a LIFE-CHANGING experience.
• can be clothed, in underwear/lingerie, implied nudity, or nude.
• can be glammed up and blinged out.
• can be cozy and subtle.
• can be silly and smiley.
• can be sultry, sensuous, or sexy.
• can be a gift for your partner, but it can be just for you.
• can reveal something you never considered before now.
• is fun!!!
