Boudoir = Confidence Booster!

When “K” asked me to do a boudoir shoot for her, just in time for Valentines,  I felt a little queasy, but, I thought about it for a little while, and finally said yes.

Boudoir Photography is not something that I’ve ever tried, and I’m not one to step out of my own comfort zone.. but the fact that “K” is a friend, someone who is completely open and honest.. and not to mention funny, I figured if things went south, we would at least have a blast trying. Plus, she had so much confidence in my abilities that even I started believing her.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with boudoir.. Wikipedia states this: 

A great deal of “boudoir ( photography)” is now created in the photographer’s studio or in luxury hotel suites, where it has become very fashionable to create a set of sensual images for women in “boudoir style”. This often takes the shape of partly clothed images or images in lingerie, and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise their future husbands. Although in the past there were many negative connotations associated with boudoir photography, in recent years the trend has begun to gain momentum, and the entire look of boudoir photography has begun to change.

We decided to do an outdoor shoot. ( This woman is crazy! It was freezing cold in the beginning of Feb). The orchards at Okanagan Serenity Gardens provided the perfect setting,  secluded enough so no one could watch, but a beautiful location for the pictures. “K” rocked it out! She was freezing cold, but you can’t tell at all, and we made sure to give her warm blankets between takes.

I hope you like these shots as much as I do! K is gorgeous, and they couldn’t have turned out any better in my opinion!

ps: “K”  thank you for believing in me, and for pushing me past my boundaries. :)

Did I mention that “K” is a mother of two!  Jeesh I’m jealous!
