This Boudoir Photographer's Attempt at Self Portraits

With everything being shut down (as of my writing this on April 21st), and not being able to photograph actual clients in my studio right now, I decided to try to use my built up creative energy to do some self portraits and play around with different poses… well, I’ll tell you, it was a lot more work than I thought it would be! lol BUT out of all of the images that I took (and there were MANY!) I did end up with some that I am quite proud of!

Being Seen ~ Vancouver, WA Boudoir Photography

I used to think that doing boudoir photos always seemed like you would be doing it for someone else to give the pictures to, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was really empowering and the biggest take away I think from the entire experience was to feel seen. That might sound weird but being a wife, mother, employee, boss and friend is overwhelming at times like I am something for someone all the time and that someone is never myself.

So Much to Learn! ~ Experimenting with Boudoir Photography

Over the last year or so , I’ve taken several classes on studio lighting, feminine posing, boudoir photography composition techniques, etc., etc., etc… there has been some AMAZING material that has been really helpful and inspiring, but, the “problem” is, in order to learn new techniques and use them WELL, you have to be able to practice! Thankfully, I never seem to have trouble finding women to allow me use them for practice… which is why I love doing boudoir model calls so much! It gives women an opportunity to experience boudoir photography, get a few complimentary photos, and allows me to play around, try new things, and not worry (too much) about the final product.

Bringing Boudoir Back!

This beautiful woman was training for her first ever MARATHON! She’s a total bad ass and was spending many of her off-work hours training, which was taking away from time with her husband. Plus, the marathon was actually happening on his birthday and she knew that she’d be in no mood/physical state to celebrate post-race, so she decided to do something a little “special” for him as a birthday gift and a “thank you” for supporting her on her training journey. So she booked a session with me, and we got to work creating a fantastic photo book for her to give him!
