Boudoir photographer in Portland is a dime a dozen. So when this beautiful mother of two chose me to photograph her, I was very excited!

I know it is not easy to get the nerve to book a boudoir session. It definitely took some time for Ms. M to finally call me but because her boyfriend’s birthday was fast approaching she knew the clock was ticking:)

We met and chatted over coffee. We talked about what to expect, showed her some inspirations regarding style and lingerie and also displayed some of my gorgeous products I carry.

When the day of the shoot arrived we were both very excited and ready. She did her homework and brought some stunning lingerie. I KNEW then that this was going to be a great session.

During hair and make up (by Tammy from Gypsyana) she was able to relax and feel more at ease before we started shooting.  Knowing that she was a yoga instructor I knew that once we got going she would be able to tap into her femininity and connect with her natural beauty.  I was not mistaken.  She embraced the session and gave herself 100% …she was playful, sexy and confident.

When she told me that she was very sore the next day, I knew I did my job:)

Don’t forget to watch some behind the scene video at the bottom of this post!

 

 

At the reveal she was amazed by the final images and her excitement grew and grew during the album designing process.

When I delivered the gorgeous album a couple of weeks later we both felt proud and amazed by the art we created together. We both knew that even though this album was meant for her boyfriend, it is just as special for her as well.

As for me, looking at her images now, I’m reminded of this very special confident woman, who I got to know during the process and now I call “friend”…. and for that I am forever grateful!
