Alright, ya’ll, let’s have a heart-to-heart.

You’ve been juggling careers, family, and all the little details of life like a circus performer on a unicycle. When was the last time you did something that was just for YOU? No, not the “finally get to binge-watch your favorite show” moment, but something truly indulgent and fabulous that you do for YOU. If your answer involves a shrug and a look of guilt, it’s time to rethink your self-care game. Let’s talk about why a boudoir shoot is the self-gift you didn’t know you needed.

Let’s set the scene because this is not your average photoshoot. This is where glam meets grit in the most stunning way. You, in all your power and glory (regardless of the week/month/year that you’ve had), being pampered and styled to look like the goddess you are. We’re talking a day of full-on indulgence designed just for you. Forget the endless to-do lists and family demands for a moment. We’ll put on your favorite music, have a full professional hair/makeup session, play ‘adult dress-up’, and end with a set of images that are designed to remind yourself of the person that STILL exists inside of you. This is a time to treat yourself to a day where the only thing you need to focus on is how fabulous you feel. Because, let’s be honest, you deserve a day where you’re the center of attention—no guilt required.

Seeing yourself in those professionally shot and retouched photos is like a confidence boost straight to the heart. You’ll look at those images and think, “Wow, is that really me?” Spoiler alert: yes, it is. And that newfound confidence? It’ll stick around longer than the glow from your makeup.

It’s time to focus on you, enjoy professional pampering, and leave with photos that will make you feel like the radiant human you truly are. Because in the end, the best gift you can give yourself is a little bit of fabulous self-love, even if it’s more of a ‘fake it until I make it’ situation.

Every few months I latch on to a new obsession when it comes to my work and how I photograph boudoir. I ALSO latch on to a new obsession in my personal life (here’s looking at you Sarah J. Maas universe), so at any given moment I’m obsessed with SOMETHING and it usually lasts about 3 months until another shiny object catches my attention.

My current obsession in photography: movement and blur

Blurry photos are typically not what clients have on their “I must have this shot” list. I remember when I used to shoot weddings and family portraits; delivering blurry photos was ill-advised 99% of the time (unless of course it was the ONLY image where little Suzy was smiling).

Blurry boudoir images are a little bit (or a LOT a bit) different for me. I think boudoir is so sensual, intimate, and personal that a slight blur makes the image look like it is frozen in time; an almost voyeuristic look into the intimate day-to-day of the subject. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still taking very SHARP and still images because I don’t want my clients to have to cross their eyes when viewing their boudoir images… but I love adding a few artistically blurred shots in the mix!

Here are a few of my favorites from a session done at our Marietta boudoir studio this year!
