Natural Look Boudoir Photos

I don’t often take ‘Before’ photos and I very rarely share the, if I do. In fact, I can’t think of the last time that I share a ‘Before & After’ image.

I feel that Before and After photos can be detrimental to someones self esteem, especially when it comes to makeup or something that washes off at the end of the day. The you that is you day in and day out is beautiful, so taking a ‘Before’ photo to illustrate an improvement seems like an insult. I don’t even want to insinuate that someone isn’t good enough before they meet me and my team.

Because I feel that my version of the Boudoir Photos experience is to embrace and love yourself, I never ask the girls who are part of my hair and makeup team to make anyone look full on glam. I just want clients to look, and feel like the best possible version of themselves.

When Kristan arrived at her session, she was fresh faced with her hair left natural, and she was absolutely stunning! I could have taken her photos just as she was. We are all beautiful before we ever put a single dab of lip gloss on, and I think that it’s important that as woman, we know and acknowledge that about ourselves. I wanted to show that with these photos. Heidi added a a little bit of magic and curled up her gorgeous locks. Then the camera did it’s magic – that is to say, captured this natural beauty!

One of my quirky personality traits is that I see celebrity resemblances EVERYWHERE. Seriously,  you don’t want to watch a movie with me! But, I would love you to comment below and tell me who it is you think Kristan looks like to you! I want to see if you see what I see!
Kristan, thank you for bringing your natural beauty and your quiet confidence to me for you boudoir photos. You are stunning and working with you was our please! 

xo,
