Back in August, I was lucky enough to photograph this gorgeous woman at the 1020 Studio. This boudoir session was amazing to capture, and I was so happy to be her photographer.

Empowering Boudoir Photography

Before her boudoir photography session with me, Ms. K had shared, “I want to feel beautiful in my own skin and let my light shine. Nothing is going to stop me from achieving my dreams and goals.”

Well, let me just say: Ms. K certainly let her light shine! She was an exuberant, bright light and was just SO much fun to photograph. This was not her first boudoir photography shoot, so she had a good idea of what the session would be like, but she didn’t have the full experience the way they are done in my studio. From picking out the best outfits for your shape, to making sure your makeup is how you want it, to highlighting your best assets—the experience you have during your boudoir session is just as important as the resulting images. Special thanks go out to the amazingly talented Kat St. John for the work she did making Ms. K’s hair and makeup look so amazing.

With my work as a boudoir photographer, I notice time and time again how we pick apart pieces of ourselves. That self-deprecation that prevents us from truly improving ourselves in the ways that are needed most. We focus on the parts of us that cannot really change… or parts of us that don’t need to. As a woman, I can relate. I empathize with the barriers you put up about yourself. I have them too. That’s why I feel so passionately that the boudoir photography experience should be something empowering. It should always be about embracing who you are and harnessing the beauty that you have. Flaws and all. All women are beautiful.

Sometimes, feeling good about yourself can be helped with some spectacular wardrobe choices. The lingerie Ms. K is wearing is easy to find and flattering on most body types.
