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. 

M’s boudoir wardrobe matched her vision so well. On the day of the photoshoot, after arriving at my boudoir studio in Minneapolis, M started the session wearing a silk pink pajama set. She layered this set with a favorite, textured cardigan in some images giving this look a cozy and romantic feel. She also wore a black body suit with lace in the front and sheer panels in the back.

 For her third session, Adrianna was in a new season of life filled with beauty and transition. She had gotten married, moved, and felt really proud of the life she has been cultivating that is now blossoming around her. For her most recent session at my South Minneapolis boudoir studio, she wanted her portraits to carry the same sense of joy and buoyancy she loved about her previous boudoir portraits, with an added sense of artfulness and depth to document the confidence and creativity she felt in this life chapter.

K went into her boudoir session with the primary intention of doing something beautiful just for herself. She envisioned portraits that captured various aspects of her personality – some romantic, some elegant, some strong and dramatic, and some soft and effortless – and she wanted all of the portraits to have a strong undercurrent of self-love.

A wanted her boudoir session to balance her love of artful boudoir portraits with her vibrant, creative energy. She envisioned portraits that felt at once strong and poised, playful and serene. She was excited for this session to capture the well of confidence she has come to fill within herself and to celebrate the mosaic of styles she feels drawn to in this season of life. A also felt delighted to incorporate two different flower bouquets into her session. I helped with her wardrobe planning for this session, choosing three looks that complemented the colors and textures of the bouquets.

AJ is someone who loves tulips. During our planning session, she asked for brightly colored tulips to complement the happy vision she had in mind for her floral boudoir session. She wanted the portraits to capture her genuine joy and groundedness in this season of life.

This client brought beautiful inspiration into our planning conversations. She liked the idea of taking time from this full season of her life to pause, honor, and celebrate her body. She wanted the portraits to capture the strength and softness she sees in herself, and she wanted to feel warm, authentic, gentle, and grounded in her pictures.
