Here’s a 30 second read to see what’s going on with OWN boudoir right now! The biggest thing we’d love your help with is the selection of the creative themes for our 2024 Special Edition shoots. If you’re new here then let me explain what those are!

Each year, we have four weekends where we dedicate that particular weekend to a creative theme and create incredible boudoir images surrounding that theme. These creative boudoir sessions are typically shorter; you might even call them 'mini' sessions in a past life. It's a great way to do something completely out of the box without having to book one of our standard boudoir experiences. Hair and makeup are always included, so you know you'll be able to perfectly match the theme you chose.

Happy reading!

1. New 2024 Boudoir Themed Shoots!- Our 2024 Special Edition boudoir sessions will be announced in September! Booking for past clients begins in October, and all new clients will be able to book on Black Friday

2. Speaking of our themed shoots: This year we’d love to hear from YOU on the themes you’d like to see the most, or even write in your own idea! VOTE HERE!

3. Remember that personal project I mentioned a few months ago? We’re almost ready to start scheduling those of you that wants to participate! This project’s purpose is to show the everyday sensuality that exists beneath the ‘uniforms’ we wear in our everyday lives as women. It will NOT require nudity or overly revealing lingerie. 

4. We’re ramping up a new side of the business: headshots, personal branding, and dating profile images have been really popular lately and I’m excited to continue to expand this! If you need a great profile pic, I know a gal that can make sure your face doesn’t look weird ;) If you’d like more information on booking one of these shoots, get in touch here!

5. Current obsession: fantasy smut books. I’m deep in the rabbit hole of A Court of Thorns and roses (and its companions), so please send any book recommendations that carry similar themes and steamy scenes. 

Ok, ya’ll… let's get real. We all have insecurities about our bodies. We usually hear all about our thighs, our arms, or that pesky little roll that seems to make its appearance no matter what we do. The truth is that we all have SOMETHING that makes us feel a little less confident. But hey, that's just part of being a woman! It's time to embrace our imperfections and love ourselves for who we are.

In my time as a boudoir photographer I’ve heard about the ‘typical’ insecurities, but we are so much more complex than the typical insecurities.

I mean, let's be honest, who hasn't stood in front of the mirror and sucked in their stomach or tried to make their butt look a little perkier? We've all been there, and it's okay! But what about the c-section scars, the botched breast reductions, the trauma scars that can’t be seen to the naked eye….the uneven earlobes (yes I’ve heard someone mention this to me!!)? We all have insecurities that we feel very much alone in. These insecurities walk with us every day of our lives, and then especially try to make themselves a guest at your boudoir session.

At the end of the day our insecurities can F*** right off because we already have enough stress and pressure in our lives without adding something else to it. We're all beautiful in our own way, and that’s a cliche I’ll stand by.

So let's embrace our curves, our lumps, and our bumps, our uneven earlobes, and remember that we're all in this together. Because let's face it, life's too short to spend it obsessing over our bodies. Let's go out there and show the world just how fabulous we really are!
