Now that the weather is warm, I am constantly outside gardening, walking the dog, and hiking. So even though I love my studio, I’m called to create boudoir images outdoors. If you want to do an outdoor session, now is the time to book and grab a spot.

You’ve probably never done something like this before, and don’t know what to expect. It’s normal to be a bit nervous with something new, but I promise it’s worth it! So I’m going to tell you all about what happens the day of your boudoir session!

I want my clients to get the most out of their boudoir session, and that’s why it was so important for me to do one myself. It’s one thing to say every woman should do a session, but it’s another to know at your core, how true that is.

“I’m a firm believer that one single experience can alter your mind, your path...your life. I’m a firm believer that ALL women should do boudoir. That’s such a hefty statement, but I stand beside it with my whole heart. About three years ago, I was a newish mom. I was prepared for sleepless nights and lots of uphill battles, but I think the one thing that I wasn’t prepared for was catching a glimpse of the stranger in my reflection.”

I get asked a lot about what to wear for a boudoir session. Considering most of us don't get photographed in our undies every day, that's totally understandable.

I found a vintage tv at a thrift store and wanted to incorporate it into a boudoir session. Luckily, I found Holland who was excited to be a little outside the box and play around with my ideas!

I recently got to do my very first couple boudoir session, and now I’m addicted. Twice the laughter. Twice the steaminess.

Catherine never missed a beat of bravery. She stepped right into every crazy pose with the confidence I hope we all can find in ourselves. I am so thankful to her for not only letting me share her images but also doing the short video testimonial below.

I had been dreaming up this session for weeks before I actually did it. I knew I wanted to create some simple black and white bodyscapes. Sometimes I love color so much that I forget to do black and white photos, so this was the perfect chance to fall in love with black and white again. And I did.

As soon as Abigail was dressed in this white dress from my client closet, I knew I had to do some in color. All the peachy tones together made me swoon. Peach is my new favorite color.

“This year I have had a lot of changes, and I wanted something to celebrate that I am strong and capable, my boudoir session with Sarah made feel empowered and sexy.”

“I felt so glamorous! What an incredibly empowering gift to myself! I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience, my photos are beautiful.”

Last week I challenged the ladies in my VIP boudoir group to come up with something not normally seen as sexy for me to create boudoir images around. There were several amazing ideas from piles of laundry to granny panties. But the winner was overalls and gardening.

The gardens at Appalachian Tropicals had several gorgeous women to envy at my last boudoir marathon. Including Michelle. She is a gorgeous boss babe who embraced the plants, the lingerie, the wind in her hair, and her own powerful beauty.

I get a lot of people asking me where to go shop for their boudoir session, so here's a list to get you started in person or online!

Elise Olson, owner and creative genius of On The Inside Lingerie has been hard at work finding gorgeous fabrics and designing new pieces. And they needed to be photographed!

Empowerment doesn't come from playing it safe. And let's be honest, Alina was the one being really brave here. She completely rocked her session and looks like a tattooed goddess.
