As we sit down, sip champagne, jam to Duo Lipa, and start the hair and makeup process I know that there is a 99% chance that the client will look at me with an inquisitive eye and ask this question.

“So how did you even get started shooting ‘boudoir’?”

The boudoir field of photography isn’t exactly a common field for portrait photographers to get their initial start. Most portrait photographers (and photographers in general) that I know all started out with the same few types of jobs: weddings, engagement shoots, family sessions, headshots….etc. I ALSO started out with those types of photo shoots, and boudoir wasn’t on my radar at all, mostly because it wasn’t even in my vocabulary. I still struggle with pronouncing ‘boudoir’ and it’s my actual career!

My journey of becoming a boudoir photographer is an interesting one, and one that I absolutely love to sit down and share. My journey is unconventional and I did a lot of things ‘wrong’ from a photographer’s perspective. However, I don’t believe that there are certain and set paths to anyone’s career. If you have a goal the best thing that you can keep doing is move forward, one step at a time without taking pit-stops at other people’s opinion bays.

I was recently interviewed by the Find you Focus podcast and discussed my journey, my tips, and my experience. Whether or not your a photographer I hope you get a lot out of it! And if you’re a client: here’s the answer to the question that you’ll definitely ask me ;)

This year we introduced the first-ever OWN Boudoir themed specials. This gave a chance for clients in Atlanta (and all over!) to book a shorter boudoir session with us and have it centered around a popular theme! This year our boudoir themes were: Valentine’s Day, Best Friend Fun, Calvin Klein, and Cozy Cabin. We had a BLAST with them, and so we decided to create a new set of themes for our 2021 Boudoir Specials!

We’ve currently announced THREE of our themes for next year, and our fourth theme will be announced next week! Our 2021 Boudoir Specials will go on sale on Black Friday at 10am. We will announce them on Instagram and post a link on our blog in order to book! Most of our specials, with the exception of one, will take place in our Atlanta Boudoir studio.

2021 Boudoir Special Themes:

1) Self Love- Did you know that most of our clients book a boudoir session for themselves? We’re not saying you can’t book this session as a gift for someone (it IS around Valentine’s day), but let’s focus on YOU for this shoot.

hair/makeup: Makeup INV

2) Wet & Wild- We’re creating incredibly sexy images using our renovated glass shower at the studio. Water, steam, drips, and drops. You don’t want to miss this one.

3) Sun & Sand (taking place in the Charleston, SC area)- We’ve rented a private beach house for the weekend and will be working our boudoir magic in and out of the ocean. Come play with us and design a weekend getaway out of it!

4) ???? Check back to find out!
