The Boudoir Photoshoot

There has been a lot of attention given to Boudoir Photography these days. Let’s take a look at it and see what all the buzz is about!!

Its History..
Boudoir Photography has been around for as long as photography. Its popularity ebbed and flowed over the years as a result of many things. Right now, it seems to be the new buzzword with lots of new interest.

What is it?
Well, in its most basic form, it is a photo session specifically meant to capture a series of sensual/seductive/playful photos of a woman to be given to her significant other. The most typical application is for a bride to give to her new husband.

I’m a bride-to-be, is this for me?
Well, it allows us to create a one-of-a-kind gift for your husband-to-be! Imagine presenting a beautiful book of YOU to your new husband on the night of your wedding! No matter whether you are a bit on the conservative side or wild and crazy, we can match a style to you!  How exciting!

What comes out of this?
We create a beautiful book of photos that can also include your heart-felt sentiments, special sayings, song lyrics, whatever is special to you and him. The book is a hard cover, coffee table style, collection of images and artistic backgrounds with your words applied on the pages. As with everything we do, it is all custom. It is all geared toward satisfying our clients.

Watch out!
Boudoir photography can take a variety of forms and can have various results as well depending on the experience of the photographer. No worries here. We have what it takes. Luckily, we have lots of experience with this type of photography. A sense of emotion, fashion, sexiness and fun all play a part to allow for the creation of something truly special for your guy.

How does it work?
If this is something that interests you, simply contact us and we’ll get the ball rolling. The cost is commensurate with that of an engagement session and guest book. The shoot usually takes place in a hotel room in order to have the right look and feel. You’ll be responsible for that cost. We recommend you bring a girlfriend to help you out too!   The shoot can be as conservative or as liberal (within reason) as you prefer. We can give you advice and guidance to make it a fun and fruitful event. We want you to feel like a model for a day! After the shoot, we’ll provide access to a gallery of images. You pick those you want in your book and we get started with the design. It is all very easy.

What does it look like?
Well, since a picture is worth a thousand words, take a look for yourself!!

Angie & Tim

One year in the making. Yes, the fateful meeting at the Starbucks….
Ang and I met Tim and Angie at the Starbucks and all four of us immediately hit it off! They loved our work and we love their enthusiasm. We really enjoyed making them our clients. Why? Well, quite simply, they fit the profile that has proven to work best with us…they loved the art and fun that we produce! Oh, and in case you are wondering, two Angie’s don’t make a right!! LOL

Over the course of the next year leading up to their wedding day, we threw around a variety of location-based photography options to pump up their collection of wedding day photos. In the end we decided on the gritty look as the perfect juxtaposition to their fine appearances on their wedding day.

Fast forward a year..
Wedding day, April 17, 2010. Butterflies? Nah! They were both so excited, yet at ease.
Angie, not knowing what to do really, looked for advice from us. We gave her our number one rule….Have fun with it!! And oh boy, she did!! The star pupil and model! Kudos Angie! You made us proud! We had tremendous fun that day and we are so happy with the collection of imagery. We are so happy to hear you had a great time too!
Without further adieu, here is a taste of your wedding…..
