K’s Casual, Sexy, Self-loving Boudoir Portraits

It was really important to K that she would have photos that would feel like “her”. This is a request or concern I get from a lot of my clients, because there are so many reasons why we can look at a photo of ourselves and feel like it doesn’t look like us. An important piece of my job is to create pictures that feel like you, and that is why I make it a priority to get to know my clients through the conversations I have with them. I’ll ask questions like: What do you want to feel when you look at these pictures? What favorite body features do you have? What do you want the energy to be in these portraits? What colors and textures do you want to wear and be surrounded by?
