Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - artsy b&w studio session

This is a throwback to a session I did a long time ago, in my old studio. Since it was one that got lost with my website crash a few years ago, I thought I’d re-blog it.

This was such a fun session, as I played with light, texture, movement, a piece of copper pipe and a prism. Michelle was such a good sport and was so patient with all of the hair flipping and tossing I had her do (repeatedly, lol).

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - texture, texture, texture!

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!

Salem Oregon Portrait Photographer - dark & moody portraits

I’ve taken a lot of photos of Porshe, but I think these might be my favorites. They’re so simple, yet so mysterious and alluring.

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - simple, fun, and elegant b&w studio session with Kate

Kate is an absolute joy to photograph. She has a beautiful smile, fun energy, and is really good at posing herself! We did this session at Studio 22 in downtown Salem, which is always an option for my boudoir clients, if they’re looking to do a studio session.

Corvallis Oregon Boudoir Photographer - artsy & mysterious sneak peek

Just a little sneak peek from an empowering session I had a few weeks ago. This client, a young trans man, reached out to me about doing a photo shoot to document his body, prior to top surgery. It was a fun shoot and the photos turned out awesome.

Salem Portrait Photographer - goodbye, studio!

In case you haven’t heard, I recently moved out of my studio! The landlord sold the building, so it was not something I chose. I’ve been in this space for 7 years and it has served me well. I loved the evening light that came through the large windows (as seen in the photo below), the exposed brick, the amount of usable space, and how greaty my landlord was. Saying goodbye to Studio 343 (that was her nickname) was definitely bittersweet. I have not used the studio very much over the last two years, so it makes sense for me to let it go, but I’m still going to miss it.

For the time being, I do not plan on renting a full-time studio, as my schedule doesn’t allow me to do a lot of studio work. However, I will have access to part-time studios in Salem, Portland, and Corvallis, which I can rent hourly, when needed.

Salem Boudoir Photographer - Halloween Sneak Peek!

In case you missed it, I recently held a Halloween Boudoir Event at my studio. Anna was kind enough to let me share some of her images, so here’s a little sneak peek! I’ll post the rest on Halloween!

Salem Boudoir Photographer - plus size mermaid vibes

Lauren and I created these stunning images at my studio, just after sunset. Our only light source, other than a little bit of dusky goodness, was the glow from cars and nearby businesses. Lauren, a fat-positive model based out of Portland, styled everything herself (hair, makeup, wardrobe) and I think she did a fabulous job!
