Sunday's Boudoir Shoot

Sunday afternoon I met with one of my wedding clients to shoot her boudoir photos. It was my first such shoot in several months, but everything went great. I've been having more and more clients inquire about boudoir photos over the past wedding season and I decided to go ahead and add the service to my site. Apparently, they're "all the rage" for women to give as gifts to their significant others, from everything from Valentine's gifts and weddings gifts to first year anniversary (which is paper) presents. I asked yesterday's bride why she wanted to have boudoir photos shot for her fiance and this is what she had to say:

"After I began shopping for a wedding gift for my future husband, I realized that I couldn't find anything out there that I felt was special enough for him. I wanted to give him a gift that he wouldn't expect, that was custom-made especially for him, and that would totally blow him away. For those reasons, I decided to have boudoir photos taken. I plan to put the photos into an album to give to him on our wedding day. Knowing me, this is the LAST gift he will be expecting from me! Knowing HIM, there is no better gift idea - he will absolutely LOVE these photos! I can't wait to see the expression on his face as he looks through the album!"

As with most clients, yesterday's bride is planning on giving the photos to her future husband as a wedding gift, so I don't want to reveal her name. She gave me the go ahead to post some photos on the blog, but I didn't want to post any that showed too much of her face so I chose some close-ups instead. As you'll see, I take a very artistic angle on these photos and shoot everything tastefully, while still showing off the beauty of my client.
