My favorite boudoir sessions are the ones women book just for themselves. There is something so empowering about celebrating and appreciating your body for yourself, rather than a partner. This goddess booked a sexy boudoir session to celebrate her 50th birthday!
And yes, I’ve shared this session before, but I love it too much to not share again!
I do a lot more nude photography than people realize, but I don’t share most of it due to client privacy. Occasionally, though, I will get permission to share more anonymous shots like this one.
If you would like to incorporating some nudity into your boudoir session, please let me know ahead of time!
Please note: I do not offer erotic photography and men must be partially dressed (bottom half), whether they are doing a solo shoot or posing with their partner(s). Fully nude sessions are only available to women.
Kate totally rocked this red lacy bralette/underwear set for her boudoir session at Studio 22.
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.
I had the privilege of photographing Jia in a stunning sequin and beaded dress. I just love the mermaid vibes it gives!
This session was total chaos, but an absolute blast! These four guys grew up together and wanted to do their senior portraits together, so we made it happen! We met up one evening at Riverview Park in Independence, as it was a place they’d spent a lot of time together. In the end, they each got their own mini session, as well as a few fun group shots, some of which can be seen below. I will be sharing their individual sessions soon.
This was my first (and so far only) time shooting at this location and I loved it! I love shooting in new places and George Rogers Park was no exception as it was beautiful! There is so much variety and I really liked all of the hidden little gems for photo spots.
As usual, I’m ridiculously behind on blogging, and Noah actually just finished his freshman year at the University of Oregon. So, these were actually taken almost 2 yrs ago!
I’m always happy to do add a few headshots during family sessions, for those who may need a new one for work. Ashley needed some new headshots for work (she’s an attorney), so she threw on a shirt and blazer, after her family session, and we took a few quick shots while her wife got the kiddos loaded into the car. Success!
I have been photographing SheeAnna for YEARS and we have a blast every time. She’s one of those clients I just immediately clicked with (no pun intended) and I know we’ll be friends for ever, even though she recently moved far away.
Anyway, I love how different these two headshots are, even though they were taken only minutes apart.
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’ve known Ainsley and her family since she was in preschool, so she’s one of my “get to watch her grow up” clients that I adore so much. We had a great time doing some of her senior portraits at the Oregon Coast!
For those interested in doing your photos at the beach, just ask! I love beach sessions, but my Summer schedule usually fills up pretty fast, especially for out-of-town sessions.
I seem to do a fair amount of headshots and branding sessions for therapists, which I find amusing because that’s the only other career that ever really interested me. Maybe I’m somehow drawing them in?
Anyway, I had a great time working with Sharon. She’s funny, creative, and unique. I mean, how many therapists wear leather jackets and Vans to work?!
I' met Kyle when he was a pre-schooler, so it was an absolute honor to do his senior portraits all these years later! One of my favorite things to do with seniors that I’ve been photographing for a long time, is to do a side-by-side comparison with an old photo next to a current one. As you can see, Kyle still has the BEST smile! You may also notice that he practically looks like a different person when he’s doing his serious face. He is a football player, so I guess he Must look tough occasionally.
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!
While I do love a fun “set” for boudoir (like a funky vacation rental), I also love the simplicity of a blank studio…Especially in black and white.
I had the privilege of photographing a proposal this past weekend! Lisa (black shirt) contacted me ahead of time, as she was planning on proposing to her girlfriend, Tiffany. Much to my surprise, Tiffany had ALSO planned to propose at the same time (anniversary and location of their first date)! Anyway, here is a little sneak peek from their big day. Congrats, Lisa & Tiffany!
