The fabulous Holly Marlin came in and rocked out a boudoir shoot with us! Boudoir shoots can be anything you want them to be. It's all about the mood you want to create, the outfits you bring, and the energy you want to be captured. 

Whenever we do a boudoir shoot we first start off by looking through the outfits you bring and then make a game plan for the session. That's excatly what we did with Holly. She came prepped with so many cute pieces, so we mixed and matched until we found the perfect looks.

Holly is a local model so she is very used to having her photo taken, but we ran this session just like we would with a client. I guided her through each pose and gave her instructions on how to move her hands and what kind of facial expressions I was looking for. Each time I'd put her in a pose she'd add to it making it her own, and it created some gorgeous photos.

During the session, she mentioned that she didn't have any "Glamour Headshots" for her modeling portfolio, so once we finished with the boudoir poses we rolled down one of our backdrops and took a few model headshots for her as well. I love the energy she brought to the session and the art we made together.

If you're considering doing a boudoir shoot, send us an email!! These shoots are such a blast and we are always happy to help brainstorm ideas or talk through any concerns! Hope you all enjoy this session!

Be bold. Be you. Boudoir.
