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 - Vegas throwback!

This was a fun little session I did in a hotel room in Las Vegas. I can’t believe that this was nearly a decade ago! I’m getting ready to take a trip to Vegas next month (I go once or twice a year), so I thought it would be fun to pull some old sessions from the archives.

I’m not running any promos or anything, but if you’re interested in booking a session with me (in Vegas) between September 8-11, email me (kelwardphotography@gmail.com) ASAP!

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer - layered to perfection

I always tell my boudoir clients that I have “layering pieces” in my studio closet, so I love when I have an opportunity to actually show those pieces on my blog. Aly wore a simple navy bra/underwear set, which looked beautiful with both of these robes.
