While hopping around the country last week, I had another photo session in Wisconsin – this time for boudoir photography. For those of you who are unfamiliar with boudoir, it’s defined as: “a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room,” and is pronounced “boo-dwar” though with a little more French finesse. Boudoir photography is usually very sensual and intimate. I like to keep my boudoir sessions classy as opposed to raunchy (really not a fan of raunchy – and in this case, I think less does NOT always equal more, at least in clothing terms).
Anyway…..knowing that we’d be near a river, I suggested to Ali that we get adventurous and make some photos in the water as well as on land – and tah dah! – trash the corset was born! Ali was fantastic in front of the camera, and we had a lot of laughs. I think it’s probably easier and less awkward to be photographed in your dainties by a fellow female than it would be a male (though this is just my assumption), mostly because: 1. You won’t have to worry about me being inappropriate or hitting on you. And 2. I’m a woman, too – so I’d like to think I know what makes ladies feel pretty!
But, again…I’m being overly chatty – onward to the photos! Ali has been ever so wonderful in letting me share these intimate portraits, and I’m so, so glad – because she’s stunning! (Also, fair warning, for those of you who are viewing this at work, there are photos of a woman in underthings, though they’re not anything more risque than a standard one-piece swimsuit.)
Oh, and P.S. Boudoir photography makes for stellar wedding day gifts to your special someone and also works beautifully as an anniversary present! :)
On the docket: back-to-back weddings this weekend! One in a gorgeous (did I mention GORGEOUS?) mountain meadow in Corvallis, and the other in Great Falls at Boulder Ridge Lodge – and the bride’s horse is guest-starring! I’m so looking forward to both – can’t wait to share some sneak peeks!
Cheers!
