Boudoir, is pronounced “boo-dwahr” or if you are feeling fancy “boo-dwa”. While the term boudoir is French for bedroom, now a days it describes a variety of things including furniture, clothing and a genre of photography. As a boudoir photographer my style tends to be feminine, flirty and artistic.

I will always create a fun and laid back environment and provide you with classy images that reveal your feminine side. Each session is catered to your personality. The tone can range from sweetly delicate to fiercely sexy, personality. The tone can range from sweetly delicate to fiercely sexy, depending on what you are looking for.

A boudoir photography session is not always, but can be a once in a lifetime experience. It’s something you should plan for well in advance, just as you would for any special occasion.

There’s many reasons why women choose to do boudoir photography:

- To use photographs as a gift for a significant other.- Brides looking for a unique gift to surprise the groom.- To celebrate a milestone - ike a 30th, 40th or even 60th birthday.- To celebrate a milestone - ike a 30th, 40th or even 60th birthday.- Mothers-to-be looking to document their pre-baby body.- As a gift for a lover on Valentine Day!- Or simply just to remind yourself that you’ve still got that sassy side in you.
