Embracing Self-Love: Kirstie’s Bridal Boudoir Journey

When I reached out to Kirstie about bridal boudoir, she was thrilled—perfect timing, as she had already been searching for a boudoir photographer. I had the pleasure of capturing her proposal, engagement session, and wedding through my wedding photography business, so getting to work with her again felt like a natural fit. Kirstie is such a fantastic client, and when she said “YES” to bridal boudoir, I knew we were going to create something special.

Kirstie has an incredible collection of tattoos—large pieces of art that adorn her body. She was eager to showcase her ink in both full nude and tastefully implied nude photos, and I couldn’t wait to bring her vision to life.

Like many women, Kirstie felt a bit nervous about the boudoir session. She had concerns about the poses and how her sensitive skin would react to professional makeup. I reassured her that I’d guide her through every pose, show her how to breathe, and encourage her to just have fun during the session. She also expressed worries about her age and whether I worked with clients in her age group. I want to emphasize that boudoir is for everyone, regardless of age. This experience is a luxurious self-care moment that every woman deserves, no matter where they are in life.

Once Kirstie arrived and was in the capable hands of my hair and makeup artist, the atmosphere shifted. My makeup artist took the time to explain the products she was using, ensuring Kirstie felt comfortable and confident. After the session, Kirstie loved her makeup so much that she asked the artist to do her makeup for her wedding day—what an honor! She even texted me afterward, thrilled to share that her skin didn’t react at all. It’s moments like these that remind me how lucky I am to work with such talented professionals.

Kirstie’s boudoir session was a blast! She brought an array of fun wardrobe options, from sultry lingerie to chic fur pieces, perfectly complementing the nude shots. I’m excited to share that she signed a full model release, allowing me to showcase her stunning images.

Kirstie also decided to invest in a beautiful 10×10 linen cover album, a collection of 10 matted images in our linen image box, and wall art prints. When I revealed everything to her and her husband, their jaws dropped! They’ve even reached out since the session to request more prints. I love that they’re celebrating and embracing this experience together.

Kirstie’s bridal boudoir journey is a testament to the power of self-love and celebration. If you’re considering your own boudoir experience, remember: it’s not just about the photos; it’s about honoring yourself and creating lasting memories. You deserve this luxurious experience, no matter where you are in life! Reach out to me today through my inquiry form.
