I am loving our new website (congratulations, if you're reading this then you've found it!) and getting back into our blog!
It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, and so here is a post dedicated to getting to know me! Boudoir photography is so personal and it is really important that you know WHO is controlling the camera and the communication. I recently had these beautiful images taken by Julia Tomov for an upcoming project (and because I was overdue for an updated photo set). We wandered around The Works on the westside of Atlanta and I let her do her thing. It’s so rare for me to step on the other side of the camera, which also reminds me that I’m overdue for another boudoir session for myself!
So….here goes!
I’m Sarah! I’m the owner and lead photographer here at OWN Boudoir. My photographer journey began in 2008 when I used my student loans to purchase a camera. Luckily my financial gamble worked out and I’ve been working as a professional photographer since 2009.
Boudoir became my full-time focus in 2012 and since then I’ve photographed over 2000 clients in 16 different states and 6 different countries! We are heading to GREECE this September, so I'll add another country to that list.
Here are a few fun facts:
Since beginning my career I’ve had 7 different studios throughout Atlanta and we JUST moved again! I like to keep it interesting ;)
A lot of my passion for boudoir comes from being raised Southern Baptist and feeling a lot of shame and secrecy around sexuality and beauty. This is now one of my favorite things to talk about during the hair and makeup process. Come vent with us!
My favorite way to reset my creative brain is to lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling. There really is something to be said about literally changing your perspective.
The thing I wish I had more time to do is learn different boudoir lighting set-ups and techniques! That's on my list for 2025.
The most underrated boudoir wardrobe staple is a simple satin chemise/slip with a side-slit. It looks great on most people, satin photographs really well, and it’s a versatile piece that can be hiked up/pulled down/scrunched tight.
