oregon boudoir
Elizabeth absolutely rocked her session. She brought a lace gown, a cotton top, some thigh high socks, and a confident attitude.
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.
Miss K is all about the accessories and textures! She had pearls, sequins, lace, chiffon, mesh, and felt. I love texture, so it made my job all that much more fun. I decided to keep things really simple with the furnishings and background, as to not compete with the beauty of K and all her fabulous textures!
Kate totally rocked this red lacy bralette/underwear set for her boudoir session at Studio 22.
Kate was absolutely wonderful to work with. She brought a fun attitude, as well as her smoldering eyes. This session was a beautiful blend of textures, movement and muted colors, in a very simple studio.
I photographed this session at Studio 22 in downtown Salem. I chose this location because I wanted a very simple, blank slate to shoot in, allowing the sole focus to be on this gorgeous woman. Miss S rocked all black outfits, but mixed it up with a dress, a vintage inspired bloomer set, and then a more traditional black lace lingerie outfit.
I love bridal boudoir sessions! Did you know that it doesn’t have to be done BEFORE the wedding? Occasionally a bride will book a boudoir shoot months, or even years, after tying the knot. It’s a great way to celebrate an anniversary, or it can just be less stressful to wait until you aren’t in the middle of wedding planning!
This stunning woman was one of my wedding clients a few years ago, so we had a great time during her boudoir session. She reminds me of a young Shannen Doherty, from the “Charmed” years.
Boudoir clients are often overwhelmed, when trying to decide what to wear. Sometimes it’s best to just stop overthinking it and keep it simple. Grab a button down shirt from your closet (or your partner’s) and call it good!
This session is from a few years ago, but I love it so much that I wanted to share it again!
I had a great time, photographing Anna at my studio. She has the most beautiful eyes and flawless skin! She was also a good sport and agreed to dance and twirl around in one of my studio pieces (which is available to all of my clients),
I think our initial conversation went something like this…
Asil: We’re an LGBTQ couple and would like to do a couples boudoir session in the woods.
Me: Say no more.
To celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, Asil (they/them) and Hope (she/her) booked a romantic trip to the Oregon Coast. Even though it was December, they insisted on doing an outdoor boudoir session. I, of course, was completely on board with the idea and we all agreed that braving the cold was absolutely worth it. I mean, look at these photos!!
I just realized the other day that I never shared all of the shots from this session that I did a few years ago! Rachel brought ALL the witchiness, from her pointy fingernails, to her vintage jewelry, to her hair and makeup, to the props she brought with her! I actually shot this in my guest room, of all places!
When I first started photographing this beautiful woman, several years ago, she told me that she wanted to do a tub session at some point. It took some time for the stars to align, but we finally made it happen last August, at a vacation rental in The Dalles, Oregon.
Side note: No, I do not “fix” tan lines in editing. I think they’re sexy and part of your story. If you don’t like them, however, book your session in the winter months. ;)
I love when clients choose alternate locations for their sessions! Tiffany is a country girl, so it only made sense to do her session at this rustic location; an airbnb, located in Canby, Oregon.
I am in love with her whole look! I mean, it all just works together so well…the lingerie and stockings, the antique jewelry, and even her hair! Okay, maybe not the boots on the floor for that one shot, but everything else works so perfectly together! I had a fabulous time photographing this beautiful woman and because she is a belly dancer, posing was a breeze. In my experience, dancers have more awareness of their bodies, which just sort of makes them naturals, when it comes to posing.
