I've had many women experience a boudoir session with me before their wedding day and I'd like to share with you the amazing things that can come from this type of shoot.

It's not an engagement shoot where you have to share the spotlight with your fiancé and it's not wedding day images where you will be sharing with family and friends. This is an intimate experience for you and your partners' eyes only. So, you can do/wear whatever you want and not have to worry about how you look to friends and family. It's a time to enjoy being a bride and feel beautiful.

Many brides come back to me after the wedding and thank me for an experience that they didn't realize they needed and didn't know how much they would appreciate what they got out of it.

Here are a few reasons why I think every bride should experience a boudoir session...

#1 - It will give you a confidence boost that you will not expect.

I'm sure you are thinking posing in your underwear is probably the most nerve-racking experience and there's no way you can gain confidence from this. But, on the contrary, you will find it to be empowering. My shoots are designed to bring out YOUR unique personality so you feel like your best self. We will highlight what makes you beautiful inside and out, which I like to call your Beauty Mix, so you feel authentically beautiful. You can carry this confidence all the way down the aisle to your fiancé!

#2 - You can use a boudoir session as a time to test out your hair and makeup look for your wedding day.

I've had many brides come in with their hair and makeup professional and use the look for their boudoir session. You can also ask them to change to a bold lip if you want to glam it up for another look.

#3 - Invite your Bridesmaids and have your Bachelorette Party during/after the shoot.

You will have had an amazing experience feeling confident and like a queen with your hair and makeup done, so why not party afterward? Or you can bring in food and drinks to the studio and get photos for everyone. It's the ultimate Girls' Night Out!

#4 Give yourself a pampering experience before the big day.

Many brides have been planning their wedding for months, even years, and many do it all by themselves. I know this can be draining and time-consuming so I invite you to take some time for yourself and allow yourself to be pampered. You deserve this time just for yourself. Imagine planning your outfits, coming to a studio to get your hair and makeup done by a professional, and be treated like a supermodel for the day. Plus, once you see your beautiful images you will be able to re-live the experience all over again!
