It’s no secret, I think Boudoir Sessions are absolutely stunning. It’s a chance for women to embrace their femininity and show love to their beautiful figures. It’s empowering to feel sexy in your own skin. But if you are out there, debating on whether or not you’d like to do a session, I’d like to share with you what it’s all about and what you’ll need to be ready for a Boudoir Session with me!
What is a Boudoir Session?
Boudoir photography is an incredibly intimate and private type of photography. Boudoir photos are usually made wearing revealing outfits, showing skin and letting out your sexy side! It’s definitely NOT X-rated (I NEVER shoot nudes) but rather PG-13 with examples ranging from natural, intimate settings to classic pinup-inspired photos. It can be a gift for that special someone in your life or it can be a great way to make you feel super confident and sexy in your own skin!
Why Photograph Boudoir?
To me, the answer is easy. I think women are absolutely stunning. We all look different but are equally beautiful. Our bodies, our faces, our features cannot compare with anything else. My goal is for other women to feel that way about themselves. For you to feel amazing and confident in your own skin. I want to make tasteful, stunning images that showcase the beauty each woman possesses!
I want to do a Session as a gift to my fiancé but I don’t want anyone else to see it. Is that possible?
Absolutely! Those Boudoir Sessions are called “For His Eyes Only.” This means the only one who will see the photos are me, you and your fiance. I will not post any of them online or anywhere else. I totally understand if you want to be more private, just inform me of your decision when booking the session.
This sounds great, but I don’t know how to give myself that “just rolled out of bed, sexy look.” HELP!
Relax! Don’t worry! Professional Hair and Make-up is provided for every session! From natural to vintage pin-up, whatever look you want can be accomplished by my amazing hair and make-up team.
Where do Sessions take place?
Anywhere! It’s completely up to you. Usually it’s shot in either your bedroom or a room in your house. You also will have the option to add on a hotel room if you do not want to do it at home. My favorite places to shoot though are the outdoors – we can find a secluded area to show off the beauty of nature and you!
How can I prepare for my Session?
-Decide if you want a theme to your shoot (examples – vintage, pin-up, natural, outdoors, beach)
-Working together we’ll choose a location to best fit your theme
-Choose how discreet you want to be (Show your beauty to the world! or For His Eyes Only)
What should I bring the day of my shoot?
-Inspirational images of the hair and make-up you’d like for your session
-Outfits that make you feel confident and sexy – feel free to bring multiple outfit changes to add variety
-Any props you’d like to incorporate
-Your sexy confidence!
-A super excited/positive attitude – we’re having fun and making beautiful images!
Boudoir Sessions are fun, flirty, and an all around great time! But don’t just take my word for it, hear what other lovely ladies are saying about it:
“To preface this, I never really thought that I was the kind of girl who would do a boudoir shoot. I’m usually pretty self conscious and tend to be camera avoidant. However, I wanted a fun and flirty gift for my fiancée for Valentine’s Day and a boudoir shoot definitely fit the bill! Working with Shaunae made the whole experience super relaxing and fun. From getting my hair and makeup professionally done to figuring out poses that didn’t make me feel crazy awkward, Shaunae was so helpful, sweet, and relaxed that it made me feel super pampered. Even though it was a gift, I feel like I benefited more from the shoot. It made me feel confident and pretty and I loved the look on my fiancées face when I presented him with the images. I would definitely recommend a boudoir shoot as a gift to a loved one or just yourself!” – Erika
“Working with Shaunae is so much more than your normal photography session. She takes the time to get to know you, discuss exactly what you are looking for and how to perfect it. She truly makes you feel beautiful while you’re shooting and encourages you to be yourself and let your body speak for itself. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease while we were shooting, and it’s not easy being relaxed in your undergarments sometimes. I enjoy every part of working with Shaunae from the time we planned the shoot, to the final images produced. All around she is a spectacular photographer to work with. Her work speaks for itself, she makes you feel stunning and look even better. Being in lingerie in front of other people is not always easy, but when you shoot Boudoir with Shaunae you’re comfortable in your own skin.” – Jane
“Shaunae was great to work with! I wanted to a Boudoir Session for my husband and I was self-conscious and nervous about how everything would turn out. Shaunae made everything so fun and I felt so comfortable, I completely forgot I was only in my underwear! The photos were better than I could have ever imagined! They were so beautiful and I looked like a model you would see out of a magazine! And my husband was so surprised when I presented him the photos! A Boudoir Session with Shaunae can start out as a gift for your significant other but you quickly find out it’s also a gift for yourself.” – Brittany
