Boudoir
Private, comfortable and planned around you. Studio, outdoors, hotel, rental or home.
Every boudoir photographer promises to make you feel empowered. Start with comfortable.
Read ten boudoir photographers' websites and you'll find the same three words: "empowering," "luxurious," "timeless." They could be selling a mattress. The language gets passed around like a house recipe, and after the third site you can't remember which photographer was which.
A good boudoir photography session is a conversation first, a comfortable room second and good light third. You don't need experience, a perfect body or a Pinterest board. You need to feel okay in the room, and that part is my job.
I'm a Colorado Springs boudoir photographer. I shoot in a studio, outdoors, in hotels, in rentals and in clients' homes, and if you're covering travel, I'll go anywhere in the world. Your name is never published.
Nobody should have to guess what happens at a boudoir shoot.
It starts with a conversation. What do you want captured, how do you want it captured, and what are the photos for? A gift for a partner, a gift for yourself, a milestone, or something you've been curious about for years?
Then we plan the boudoir photoshoot together: the setting, the time of day and what you'll wear. A bright studio, a quiet hotel suite and a field of dry grass make three very different sessions, and you pick the one that fits.
Most of my time goes into editing, not the shoot. Skin, color and light all have to hold up at full size. That's why I deliver fewer photos than a bulk shoot would, and why each one is finished. Expect them two to three weeks after your session.
A comfortable chair and good window light go a long way.
A field of dry grass makes a very good backdrop.
The room matters more than the lingerie.
Light, privacy and mood all come from the place you choose, so we choose it carefully. A studio gives us full control. A hotel or a rental gives us a space that feels like an occasion. Your own home is the most comfortable room you know, and outdoors is a different kind of session altogether. I'm based in Colorado Springs and I work across the Mountain West.
If you're curious about fine-art or nude sessions, we talk about that privately in our first conversation.
Window light, a quiet room and nothing else.
Questions
Fair questions, short answers.
What does a boudoir session cost?
Boudoir sessions are quoted by inquiry, because the day depends on the setting, the time and what you want from it. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll send a quote.
Do I need experience or a particular body?
No. We plan the session together in a conversation first, and everything is built around you.
Where can we shoot?
In a studio, outdoors, in a hotel, in a rental or in your own home. I'm based in Colorado Springs and I travel anywhere, as long as travel is covered.
What should I wear?
We decide together once we know the setting and what the photos are for. Bring a few pieces you feel good in and we'll narrow them down.
Who sees my photos?
Your name is never published. A photo from your session is used publicly only if you sign a model release when you book. The photos on this site show covered frames only.
What can I use the photos for?
Personal use, social media and prints. Commercial use isn't included.
Who it's for
People who want these photos for themselves.
A milestone
A birthday, a new chapter or a reason to finally do the thing you've been curious about.
A gift
For a partner, or for yourself, and nobody has to know which.
A first time
Nervous is normal, and we plan the session around you.
Pick the room, and we'll plan the rest.
