Ms. C’s boudoir session was an absolute dream! From the hair/makeup to the wardrobe to the posing…it was perfection. Ms. C wanted to make an unforgettable gift for her hubby and we did not disappoint! Please enjoy some of my favorites from the session.

I started to title this post “Lady In Red” but it sounded too stuffy and well, old. Ms. M is a total Baddie! She is soooo comfortable in her own skin and has a sensuality that shines through her images. As women, we are often not given permission to totally own our sexuality. “Don’t look […]

Hello Beauties! Let’s talk about the boudoir consultation and what you should be asking a potential photographer during them. A consultation is discovery meeting that either happens in person or via phone/video chat. It is a great way for you to get to know your photographer better and how they operate their sessions. Boudoir sessions […]

Hair and makeup: Ashley Tolman Beauty This glorious session was my THIRD boudoir session with Ms. K! THIRD! I am always honored when three-peat clients come in but I do have some added pressure to create something new and fresh. Ms. K ALWAYS makes it so easy for me. She is quite a chameleon with […]

All we need is a white wall, a white t-shirt and I will bring the water. The white wall is one of the most requested sets in the studio. The basic backdrop and moody light sets the tone for an amazing editorial feel. I have had the idea for a while to photograph a basic […]

Ms. L has been in my private facebook group for some time now. We chatted several times about her wanting to do a session but she never found the right timing to pull the trigger. I was so happy when she finally book a boudoir sheet session with me. To say she rocked it is […]

Like SO many women, Ms. K was a nervous wreck coming into her session. She had all of the normal insecurities that us women have. I wish I had a magic wand where I could make all of my clients not have those uncomfortable feelings before their session because I know they are going to […]

Meet Ms. K…she is one of most favorite clients! This was her FOURTH session with me and we both agree it is our favorite. Ms. K is known for changing up her hair, so when she walked in the studio with golden and honey hair we knew exactly what her look should be. Bronzed Goddess! […]

Ms. M’s boudoir session has been one of my favorite’s of the year! She was extremely nervous coming into the session and even confessed she had a few tears that morning. This is a VERY common thing I hear! It is totally normal to be anxious and even emotional before your session. But I promise […]

Ms. E was hands down one of my favorite clients to work with in 2018. She came in to make a special gift for her husband but it was also a gift for herself. I had a blast helping plan her Couture Session especially with wardrobe ideas. And she totally knocked it out of the […]

I adore photographing couples boudoir sessions! It is all about capturing the chemistry between two people and I had so much fun shooting these two. My couples sessions start with singles of each person and then we move on to the couples portion of the shoot. The vibe can range from soft/sensual to edgy/risque…depending on […]

Albums are hands down the most popular display product. Christie Boudoir offers a huge variety including modern photo books and luxury heirloom albums. […]

The excitement, the giddiness and the nervous feelings. It is normal for clients to feel these emotions before their boudoir session. I can’t tell you how many clients think I am going to spend the session asking them…wait for it….“make a sexy face” for the camera. Sorry beauties…this is never gonna happen. Some women think […]

Ms. S wanted to make a very special gift for her husband and I would say it was a total success. Like knock it out fo the park, home run success. Ms. S and I clicked from the moment we first spoke. She is gorgeous, smart and hilarious! She had me laughing the entire time. […]

Isn’t She Lovely? (in my best Stevie Wonder voice). Ms. G is the real deal ya’ll. She was one of the winners of our big session giveaway and I was so excited to work with her. Not only is she gorgeous and super talented with makeup but also VERY body positive. She is so confident […]

Ms. M came for a session with me to make an amazing anniversary gift. I had so much fun working with her and I am obsessed with her images. I was so happy to help Ms. M while planning her outfit choices. We selected a wardrobe that showcased her beautiful legs/backside and fit her top […]

I love how Ms. C’s boudoir session flowed from sweet/delicate to edgy/sexy. We started her out with a messy up-do and soft lace bodysuit. Then we transitioned to a burgundy (only type of red I love photographing) lingerie set and finished in a va-va voom black strapy set with stockings. I had such a blast […]

My newest obsession for moody boudoir sessions. Wide fishnet stockings are a great way to amp up a basic black bra and panty set. Part edgy, part sexy…these little numbers will give your dark and moody images a major punch. And the best part…I found them for $4.95! And yes they come in regular and […]

A good boudoir photographer will prepare you for your session ahead of time and help you with things like wardrobe, hair/makeup expectations, prepping your skin and nails and what to expect on the day of. A GREAT boudoir photographer will also tell you what NOT to do before your session. You should feel fully prepared […]

Beds, chairs, sofas, mirrors, sheets, etc are main staples in boudoir photography. These environments are a natural setting for lingerie and nudes. But don’t be afraid to take it outside the bedroom. Some of my best work has been in an alternate location creating stunning backdrops for your boudoir photography. Take a look at the […]
