One of the greatest gifts you can
give your significant other is a beautiful
photograph of yourself, and glamour/boudoir style
photography has become one of the most popular forms
of self expression. An Intimate Portrait
session is a very personal experience. Most clients
come to us to create a gift for the special
person in their life. But an Intimate Portrait and
the Portrait experience itself can also be a gift to
yourself. This is true for women of ANY age or
shape.Boudoir photography
is typically photography that romanticizes and
celebrates the female form. It is typically sensual,
tastefully erotic, romantic and may be shot with the
model nude, semi nude, with implied nudity or even
fully clothed. Photographs can be revealing
without being provocative (as in "art nudes") or
they can be both provocative and revealing. How
revealing they are is ultimately up to what you
would like and how comfortable you are during the
photography session.
Many women think of boudoir photographs as being
about lingerie (or partial nudes or nudes), but they
can also be provocative poses made in normal
clothes, sometimes perhaps worn in an unusual way
(such as pulled open a bit more or pulled up or down
a bit more, or worn missing something, such as
overalls or suspenders without a shirt).
One of the biggest myths about
intimate photography is that you have to have a
supermodels looks/body. By skillfully draping your
clothing and accessories it is a simple art to
accentuate your strengths and hide your weaknesses.
Facial expression and body language play more of a
part in making these pictures look great than do
your figure or mere outward appearance. Few women
feel they are attractive enough to look good in
these kinds of pictures until they see the finished
product. But with our professional attitude,
they usually find it surprisingly comfortable and
that it was really fun. And they are always
overwhelmed at how good their pictures look and how
beautiful they are in them, even before any
retouching. Some women have even said this was
the first time they ever saw themselves as
attractive.
Our boudoir photography can be
done in a studio setting using tasteful props to
enhance the feeling of romance and richness, however
we are prepared to travel to any location of your
choosing that you would like with our lighting and
equipment. Because of the time to create the set and
light it, boudoir photography is typically a bit
more involved than outdoor glamour photography.
Even if you're just 'kicking the idea
around' please feel free to contact us for a pre
session discussion; we will be glad to answer all
questions and discuss ideas and concepts. As
this type of photography is of a highly personal
nature, we want you to feel comfortable with the
process and the photographer. We are open to
capturing your true essence, and doing so in a way
that will make you feel wonderful. Picture
yourself as a work of art, we'll do the rest.
