Not Grandpa Boudoir
After we did the grandpa boudoir styled session, we did some classic boudoir with the same muse. Unless you come in to your session wanting something more out of the box or with a very specific styling idea, we do classic boudoir that looks similar to this.
Grandpa Boudoir
This time my idea was “grandpa boudoir.” It all started from seeing the little holsters that hold up trouser socks. I thought they were kindof hot. So I styled a whole shoot around them.
Anonymous Boudoir
This client came years ago to do a boudoir session for her then partner. She is now thankfully free and single and did a second session just for herself. At the end of the session, we went to the top of the nearby parking garage and yelled at the top of our lungs just to celebrate.
Fae Fantasy Boudoir
I delved deep into the world of fantasy lately. I’ve been reading lots of books (ACOTAR, Fourth WIng, etc..), and I’m even doing a whole workout program with a sword. So, of course, I had to do a fantasy boudoir session with that sword.
Downtown Asheville Studio
Trying to envision yourself doing a boudoir session? Or wondering what sets are available? Here are some photos of our downtown Asheville boudoir studio to help you visualize it!
Doing Photography Wrong
There’s actually no wrong way to do photography because it is art. So I leaned into experimenting with blurry grainy images and wound up having an amazing time.
New Studio Set!
It’s been a little while since I made a new studio set. I did love the blue wall that used to be here, but it felt a bit too plain. My new Mid Century Hollywood design solves several problems for me.
Editorial Boudoir: Chains
Recently, we’ve been dreaming of doing more editorial-style boudoir sessions. We started off with an idea to use chains in a session.
Asheville Outdoor Boudoir
I’ve always enjoyed hiking, and it’s a huge part of why I moved to Asheville, NC. Most of my boudoir sessions have been indoors, but I want to be taking advantage more often of all the gorgeous mountain areas surrounding us!
Yes, We Do Couples Boudoir!
I get asked a lot if Virago does couples boudoir, and yes we do! In couples sessions, we get to focus on celebrating your relationship and all the unique and beautiful ways you love each other. And you deserve to have those moments photographed.
Boudoir Styled Shoot
Exciting news for photographers! I’m hosting a styled shoot on February 18, 2023 at my studio in downtown Asheville, NC.
BDSM Style Session
A couple weeks ago, I got some new BDSM style props that I wanted to use in a session. I put out a call in my Badass Babes Facebook group for someone to do a session with the props…and let me share the photos.
The Corpse Bride Boudoir Session
When this gorgeous human, Nikki, asked us to do a Corpse Bride themed session, we jumped at the opportunity! We love doing out of the box creative sessions!
Let's play!
I recently got to do this session just for fun, to play around, and to create some portfolio images, and I love them! While Corina is absolutely gorgeous, and should be a model, she is not one, so I guided her through the session like I do all my clients.
Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.
Spring is here, and the flowers in my garden started blooming! I knew I wanted to do a spring boudoir session with them in a quirky style. I’ve worked with model Ana-Alicia before, and knew she would be perfect for this!
Patrice's Session
Have you been wondering what a full session gallery looks like? When we do your in person viewing session on the same day as your session, you’ll see a minimum of 50 images. So here’s Patrice rocking a full gallery of images.
Tips for Photographing Boudoir in the Snow
We got about eight inches of snow in Asheville last week, and I was so excited to be able to do some snow boudoir photography! Here are some tips I learned from this shoot.
Snake and Couple Boudoir
When my favorite tattoo artist Ara wanted to do a boudoir session with her amazing partner Quinn and their sweet pet snake Alby, I jumped at the chance.
New Studio Collage Wall
I’ve been dreaming of making a collage wall forever. So I finally did it! I cheated and bought a pack of images from Tezza and combined them with photos I cut out of vintage National Geographics.
Men Deserve To Love Themselves Too
Boudoir photography for men is often made into a joke. “Dude-oir” has gone viral with men in silly mocking poses. BUT…
