AUSTIN BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY

Austin, TX Fine Art Boudoir Studio for The Bold and The Curious

WHAT IS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY?

Historically, the word bou·doir | ˈbü-ˌdwär |; French: [bu. dwaʁ] referred to a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. That place was her queendom where her own rules applied, and her secrets remained safe. Similarly, in the world of photography the genre of boudoir can be described as intimate, sensual and private subjected to client’s own level of comfort and personal wishes. 

BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY WHERE YOU BECOME ART…

My Boudoir Philosophy

What is boudoir, and what can it do FOR YOU? In my books, boudoir is a very powerful, passionate, and sensual photographic genre. In it, not only do YOU EXIST, but you also become the very center of the artwork, its model, co-creator, and the muse that inspires it. WHY BOUDOIR? Why would you and I do such a thing? Because you’ve had your share of societal BS, and you are so ready to break free from all that: role-assigning, condescending, always judging, objectifying, impossibly demanding and diminishing standards that are always weighing you down, always ready to show you your every flaw and imperfection. But you’ve had enough, and you are ready to break out of this prison. To become someone who is at peace with their body and their mind, who feels good in their own God-given skin, seeing uniqueness where society sees flaws. Showing love and care to the only body you’ve got in this lifetime. And I am so there to whisk you away from what you were taught to believe, and to get you to the other side of this transformation. To show you the new you that you probably haven’t met yet, through the affectionate and adoring lens of my camera as if it were through your lover’s eyes. To me, a boudoir session is not just a one-day event, or ‘experience’, but so much more than that. It is often a part of the long process of healing, opening up, regaining your self-value, establishing an emotional and physical connection with another human being, or with your inner self that is based on love and trust.

What Boudoir Is

  • An incredible photographic art form
  • A personal legacy that lives on
  • A celebration of love and life
  • A path to confidence
  • A beautiful testament to your self-value

Frequently Asked Questions

I have good news for you! Every client I have photographed has said the same thing, – before their session… You don’t have to be a model to look breathtakingly beautiful in your pictures, or feel great about your boudoir session. All I need is you and my camera to make you fall in love with every inch of your imperfectly perfect body.

You don’t need to! It’s not your job to take gorgeous pictures, – it’s our job, and we are really really good at it! We will work with you to guide, direct and demonstrate everything to you so that you know exactly what to do. In fact, you will be surprised at how well you do it with our help and how great it ends up looking on camera. And, once you feel confident (and you will, we promise!), you are going to own each and every pose. We guarantee it.

Most of the ‘non-models’ are, and that’s totally normal. Leave it to me to make sure that after your glam prep and outfit styling you feel so excited that you can’t wait to get in front of my camera!

We prefer to have you all to ourselves for the duration of your session, so that you can have our undivided attention and love. Your company are welcome to drop you off at the studio. Then they will leave you in our hands for your photoshoot and ordering appointment, but they are welcome to come back to pick you up at the end of your big day. 

Your trust is extremely important to us. We will never post your images without obtaining a signed release from you. Due to the delicate and intimate nature of your photos, we fully respect your right to privacy. Rest assured, you decide who and how sees your images.

No worries! As part of your photo session preparation we will provide you with every bit of helpful information, including wardrobe that will be planned depending on your personal session concept. We will discuss what will look best on you and where to find it.

Based on your type, we will have suggestions for the style of your session. Together we choose the concept that speaks to you and makes you excited. Our hair and makeup artist extraordinaire will then skilfully create your image according to our chosen concept.

I will go over everything with you and provide you with pricing information during our first phone call. How much  you decide to invest is totally up to you. You buy only what you love, and if you have to have everything (and that happens often!), and need financing, we can help you apply for Affirm, or create a custom in-house payment plan. 

We are excited to have you! Go ahead and fill out the contact form, so that we can reach out to you and have this party started!
