Lilacs + self loving energy

If you’re in need of some powerful, spring energy - this session is for you! After C booked a session at my Minneapolis boudoir studio, we had a phone call to talk through C’s ideas for her session and why she wanted to book a session. While I don’t have permission to share those parts of C’s story, I was so moved by the beautiful backstory she shared, full of intention and meaning, about why now felt like the right time to do boudoir. 

C scheduled her session for early May, and she felt especially drawn to my flower boudoir concept. She wanted her portraits to feel colorful, alive, joyful, and relaxed, balancing moments of depth and levity. I only have permission to share anonymous portraits from her session, yet I’m struck by how much joy is captured in these portraits through her body language and wardrobe choices, which included a mix of cozy neutrals, pastel colors, and bright floral patterns. 

Lilacs are one of C’s favorite flowers, so she was delighted that I was able to source these for her session. I also found some gorgeous snapdragons and ranunculus from my local flower grower in Minneapolis to incorporate into her photoshoot.

With her arms gently wrapped around her torso, this portrait feels so self-loving.

I layered two pictures together to create this double exposure, and C and I loved how it turned out! It feels at once artsy, experimental, elegant, and soft.
