natural light boudoir

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - black & white studio session, using allll the lights

Earlier this year, I was a guest speaker for one of the advanced photography classes at Chemeketa that another instructor teaches. As part of that presentation, I did some sample shots in our studio at school. I wanted to show our students what they could do in the space that is available to them, using lights that are also available to them. I used natural light, off camera flash, strobe lights, continuous lights, and even a flashlight.

I’ve worked with Ashley many times over the years, so this was a breeze for us, even when I ran into technical/gear challenges.

Thank you for your time and experience, Ashley!

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - pretty in pink with cozy winter light

Adela wore the cutest little lingerie set in a pretty shade of pink. We were fortunate enough to get some of that dreamy winter sunshine I love so much, and it just complimented her whole look. We shot this session at studio 22 in downtown Salem. They have great big windows that are perfect for dramatic light.

The Dalles Boudoir Photographer - sexy tub session!

When I started working with this gorgeous soul a few years ago, she mentioned wanting to do a boudoir session in a clawfoot bath tub. It took some time, but we finally made it happen. I booked an airbnb in The Dalles last summer, as I was shooting a wedding in Tygh Valley. As soon as I realized it had a tub, I contacted my client to give her first dibs on a session there. The timing worked out beautifully and we we got some amazing shots (and of course got to enjoy each others company).
