While the clients I work with decide to do boudoir for a variety of reasons, I have many clients who schedule a photoshoot to celebrate a milestone birthday. E booked her boudoir session a year in advance, and she was thrilled to have this self-loving gift to look forward to for her upcoming milestone birthday. It is always an honor as a photographer to work with clients who bring so much happy anticipation into their sessions, and I was delighted to hear how long E had been eagerly awaiting and planning for her session!�
In the year leading up to her photoshoot, E�s life had held multitudes � including moments of joy and challenging unexpectedness � and she wanted her boudoir session to capture the breadth of who she is now and who she is becoming, all through the lens of self-compassion. It felt extra fitting to mark her milestone birthday with a day devoted to gentleness, reflection, and self-care.�
After the photoshoot, E shared the sweetest words: �I�d been looking forward to this day for almost a year and booked it as a birthday gift for myself. It turned out to be so much more; it became a reflection of joy, beauty, and strength for a year that has been about growth and self-compassion.�
E�s Boudoir Vision + Wardrobe�
E brought bright energy and intentionality into her boudoir session. She envisioned portraits that felt calm, easy-going, and celebratory of her body. Above all, she wanted the session to feel authentic and uplifting.�
E started the session with a cozy look � wearing a black bra and underwear set paired with a textured cardigan that had a very relaxed, everyday feeling. Next E wore a pair of cheeky black underwear with a green sweatshirt that read �still kickin.� She loved how this look felt both effortless and emblematic of her strength and perseverance. E wrapped up the session with a series of implied and fine art nude portraits. E gave permission to share only anonymous portraits from her session, and I�m so excited to share those inspiring portraits here today.�
E�s Boudoir Portraits
I love how calm and reflective this portrait feels, as E sits on the floor and embraces herself.�
The soft light streaming in from my studio window casts lovely, gentle shadows across E�s hair and legs. This portrait feels so peaceful and self-loving.
This portrait exudes strength, femininity, and gentleness. The black backdrop adds sensuality and drama, accentuating the natural lines and shadows on E�s legs.�
