What is a Boudoir Photoshoot?
Chances are you probably have a general idea about what boudoir photography is, but here’s your chance to learn all the details.
Let’s start with the word “boudoir” itself. Boudoir is a French word that literally translates to “bedroom” or “sitting room.” In other words, the photographs are taken in a private space, typically somewhere with a bed, chaise or settee for the woman to lie down on. We do many of
our boudoir sessions in hotel rooms, but we also have props and furniture in our studio and can come to your choice location, as well.
As you likely know, these pictures taken in a women’s boudoir are often provocative. It’s just
the mood that gets set when a woman’s wearing lingerie or is workin’ it in sexy poses! Do note,
however, that there’s a difference between provocative, inherent sexiness and tacky or overtly
risque. We’re all about bringing out a woman’s wiles and showcasing her face and figure and
never push things overboard. We keep it ultra classy, ladies.
What you wear in your boudoir session depends entirely on what you feel comfortable with.
We’ve done everything from retro pin-up style boudoir photos to powerful dominatrix-inspires
themes. At Lori Stikeleather Photography, we don’t shoot fully nude photographs, but sometimes
nudity is implied based on the way you’re posed or the way a bed sheet is draped over you. Of
course, we only shoot what you’re comfortable with.
In short: boudoir photography is an opportunity to capture sensuous images of yourself for
yourself. And your significant other may want to take a peek, too…
.
I know exactly what you’re thinking: “Sophie, there are hundreds of photographers in this city alone! What sets you apart from all the rest?”
That is an excellent question, and it’s one you should ask yourself before any major investment. While I’m not going to go on and on about my amazing personality (I’m pretty rad, though) and impeccable photography skills (my portfolio speaks for itself!),
I will tell you that we’d have an
absolute blast together at our session. You see, choosing the right photographer is not only about having an incredible product at the end of the day (in this case, photographs), it’s about having a positive overall experience.
I am a photographer because it’s my number one passion in life. I also believe that having your photographs taken doesn’t just begin with the click of a shutter button and end with prints. The
overarching experience is just as important. If you’re having fun, I’m having fun. And everyone who sees those pictures? It’ll be super obvious we had an incredible time together. Those are
the kinds of pictures you want to hang on the wall.
So whaddayasay? Let’s have fun!
Past clients have expressed to us that
they were nervous — naturally! — at the beginning, but warmed up quickly. We laugh, we get
serious, we have fun. And we promise you this: you’ll walk away not only feeling more
confident in your own skin, but absolutely beautiful.
Let us glam you up!
You didn’t think we were going to leave you hanging, did you? No way! Half the fun of a boudoir session at Lori Stikeleather Photography is the part where you get pampered!
We bring in a team of hair and makeup artists to get you looking — and feeling — absolutely gorgeous from head to toe. This is an additional service that’s not included in package.
Our hair person will connect with you shortly before your session to brainstorm a few ideas or see what you’re thinking in terms of hairstyles. From there, you’ll work together to come up with the most flattering hairstyle for the shoot.
As for makeup, our artist is all about emphasizing all your gorgeous features without overdoing it. Based on the theme or vibe of your boudoir session, she’ll work with you to create the best
look. She always brings lots of goodies, so you’ll have plenty of flexibility.
Meaning
of Boudoir
Here’s a little known fact that may surprise you: provocative photography featuring women in
their boudoirs has been a thing for nearly 100 years. Yep — before quick film developing, before digital cameras, before women could vote and, get this: before it was even legal!
I’ll spare you all the historical details and just tell you that women have been posing for the camera in their sexiest lingerie (sometimes sans clothing at all!) since the early 20th century.
We here at Lori Stikeleather Photography consider boudoir photography a rite of passage; a gift to not just your significant other, but to yourself. It’s a celebration of you, your womanhood, your beautiful body and your sense of spirit. Some may even think of it as an homage to the many women of all shapes and sizes who’ve posed before them.
Since 2011, Lori Stikeleather Photography has worked with all sorts of women at various stages of
their life. We do lots of bridal boudoir photography, as soon-to-be-married women find photos of themselves a particularly thoughtful gift for their other half.
That’s just the beginning, though. In the past, we’ve done boudoir photography for women
celebrating their new figures, women who want to give a special birthday or Christmas gift to
their partners, and women who simply feel beautiful and sexy and want to relish in that.
Our studio prides itself in our professionalism, attention to detail and the ability to make you
feel absolutely at ease throughout your boudoir session.
If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to shoot us an email or give us a ring.
