Do I have to pose nude or wear lingerie?

I photograph clients in whatever they are most comfortable in. Some women are more comfortable nude than they are wearing lingerie. Others may prefer to wear a luxurious bath robe, oversized dress shirt, or a sports jersey. You define what makes you feel beautiful on any given day and what you choose to wear is completely up to you.

I've always wanted to step out of my comfort zone and have a risqué shoot. Is there anything that will shock or offend you?

I believe in being situationally appropriate. This is a completely judgement free space and when it comes to Boudoir, it is your private session and I expect to see everything that you don't normally wear in public. What is appropriate for your session is whatever you are comfortable with. You likely won't have anything that surprises me, or that I haven't already shot. I will ensure that your regardless of the content, all of your images will be elegantly tasteful.

As a mother of boys, are you concerned that they might come across your site?

No one will accidentally come across a boudoir site. If you are here, it was the result of an intentional, informed decision.

My boys are capable of both creating boundaries and respecting boundaries. We do not go rifling through each others personal things in our home. They know that if a door is closed, they can choose to knock or come back later. A door doesn't need to be locked in order for them to recognize their own healthy boundaries and respect privacy.

Boudoir isn't explicit. I have explained to them that many women have never had a chance to realize how gorgeous they are, and that is why I set up a studio space so that I could take pictures to show women how beautiful they are.

While I will photograph clients in as little as they choose, I will not post on my site, any more exposed skin than would be visible if you were at a public beach.

My aim is to raise kind, thoughtful young men. I hope that when my boys are married that they don't only buy lingerie for their wife, but also gift her a Boudoir session so that she can also see how beautiful she is for herself.

Do you think some women will be intimidated by seeing images of yourself and other women?

I think seeing women who are confident enough to feel comfortable sharing their experiences will help other women feel more comfortable to choose to have the same experience for themselves.

I'm in my 40s and my body has brought life into this world, it has provided care for loved ones and my mind has allowed me to provide financially for my family. I am proud of everything it has helped me to accomplish. If seeing my body makes other women feel intimidated, then they are exactly who I would like to share this experience with.

As a photographer, I think it’s important to spend time on both sides of the lens, in order to understand what clients experience.

I wouldn't feel comfortable with a photographer that said Boudoir is for every body type at every age if they couldn't provide examples of tasteful images of themself that they were comfortable sharing.
