the boudoir experience
the process
01. Reach out for a consultation! I’d love to learn what you want from your boudoir experience, what makes you comfortable with a photographer, and what makes you feel the most beautiful. My #1 priority is your comfort and making you feel absolutely fabulous in front of the camera. I offer plenty of guidance on what to do with your body and how to pose in the most flattering ways.
02. Select a date! We will chat about availability and nail down a date that works for everyone. Sessions are scheduled Monday-Thursday.
03. Select a location. Sessions may be scheduled at home, or in a studio. Check out the studio recommendations below!
04. Select an outfit/outfits. I recommend reading this helpful styling article to know what to look for!
05. Add other vendors to your team - for example, a florist or makeup artist. I have vendor recommendations here.
06. The day of your session, make sure to give yourself some extra love and focus on YOU! Maybe that’s grabbing your favorite smoothie while listening to uplifting music, passing off the kids to a babysitter, or having a mimosa beforehand. I want you to be able to get into a “selfish” (in the best way) mindset where the only focus is feeling rad and celebrating the awesome body that gives you life!
sessions start at $950 (Denver and surrounding locations) + studio rental fee
your photographer experience
A boudoir session can be a very vulnerable experience. I completely understand how one might come into a session feeling nervous about revealing parts of themselves that they don’t often show to others! I am a huge believer in emphasizing comfort throughout the entire session and easing into photos. We can start out with easier poses and portraits of your face while bumping your favorite songs, and then move into the spicier poses as you warm up to the camera. You may reveal as much or as little as you want, and veto any poses that don’t feel authentic to you.
I have been photographing portraits of humans for half of my life (over 15 years) and believe I have a unique talent for helping people feel truly safe while celebrating their bodies. I also understand that relationships with our bodies can be complicated and nuanced. I want to know about the things you might struggle to love and if you are open to capturing them in a beautiful way. Communication and consent of what will be photographed is of the utmost importance.
Fun Fact: One of my first professional photo sessions was actually a boudoir session for my dad’s coworker when I was in highschool, 15 years ago.
my goal is to help you feel empowered. & when you see your photos, you see the magical vessel that carries you through the world.
I want these photos to add self-love to your existence.
