How do you prepare the morning of your shoots?

Once I get to the studio, I turn on the lights, pick some fun music, put away any clean lingerie and sheets that came back from the cleaner, and just do a general walk-through to make sure the Roomba did a good job the night before. Lastly, I look over the client questionnaire, one last time before the client arrives.

Are there any routines you have that help you get into photographer mode?

Not really, I like to listen to music in the studio pretty loud before the client gets there. What type of music just depends on my mood… but more than likely it has to have swear words and a strong beat!

When we are young and we have an idea, we just act on it with no fears or self-doubt. As we get older and start to filter all our thoughts, we tend to look for external validation before acting.

If you have little ones in your life, you will likely know what I am talking about. Of course, this is what keeps us alive, safe, and able to function in society, but we can also look for external validation for things that don’t really need any validation at all!

For so many women, booking a boudoir photo shoot can bring up an array of insecurities. As a result, we can begin a running mental list of all the reasons why booking is a silly idea that should not be entertained.

Myth #1) Boudoir is just about taking sexy photos.

False! Your boudoir session is about much more than just taking sexy photos. Although, we will definitely be doing lots of that! Your photo shoot is just as much about empowering you as it is about celebrating your physical beauty.

“Amazing! I really enjoyed all aspects of the experience. It is always great to see photos of yourself from someone else’s point of view. And she did make it difficult in narrowing them down. Misty was very professional in everything that was going on. She made it very comfortable and friendly. Relaxing around both the ladies was easy since they were so personable. I will be getting more photos done and would definitely recommend this studio for any pictures. I’ll let Misty post her photos of me since it’s her art work and views she finds appealing.”

When my clients and I meet for the first time, it feels like two old friends reuniting. This is because there is a certain effortless bond that you and I will share because of our journey together. Boudoir photography is intimate and vulnerable. And, as your photographer, it’s my mission to stand in as your hype girl and cheer you on each step of the way.

When picking out your boudoir outfits, the most important thing to look for are styles that make you feel sensual, empowered, and most importantly, like yourself.

There are countless different styles that you can choose for your boudoir session.

And, in this post we are sharing 9 of the most popular styles at our studio!

Which one do you want to wear for your boudoir photo shoot?!

After seeing your images, you will hardly recognize the woman in them. Not because you will have your hair and makeup done or stunning lingerie pieces on, but because of the confidence you will be radiating.

During your photo shoot, I’ll be guiding you through the experience to make sure that only your most flattering angles are captured.

So what’s the secret?!

In this post, I am going to share with you some of my top tips for mastering your boudoir photo shoot.

And, don’t sweat! You don’t have to have these memorized :)

Let’s get into it…

We’ve been busy at the studio and are finally circling back to highlight some of our past boudoir sessions!

My fabulous client, Jana, had her Limited Edition Angel Wing Photo Shoot at Ting Montana and completely killed her shoot.

She even decided to share her gallery with you all and we're featuring it on the blog this week!

Our Angel Wings are the ultimate add-on to your boudoir shoot because they never go out of style and add so much impact to your images.

Whether you have a partner or not, indulging in some self-care this Valentine’s Day will breathe new life into your relationship with yourself.

In doing so, you will be able to show up more presently in ALL of your relationships and roles.

I like to take this time to reflect on my self-care practices and indulge however I am drawn to do so.

Sometimes this means booking myself a massage and other times it means splurging on that lingerie piece I have been eyeing.

After the busyness of the new year, I am sure we are all craving a little time to treat ourselves and feel pampered.

So why not give yourself that luxury!?

This shoot blew me away. To be honest, I knew it would when Mandy shared her vision for her images but seeing them come to life was on another level. Seeing Mandy embrace her inner vixen and show up fearlessly in front of the camera took my breath away.

For many of my clients, sharing their true vision for their images, wardrobe looks, and hair and makeup can feel very vulnerable. It’s not often that we are encouraged to express these deep parts of ourselves. But, when you do, you will radiate confidence and self-worth from the inside out.

In doing so, your images will represent an inner transformation that only you or an intimate partner can truly understand.

I was thrilled to hear that Mandy was comfortable sharing her images on the blog with you…
