Boudoir Part Deux

Some of you may have read our recent Valentine's Day Boudoir post but for those of you who are not as intimately familiar with the popularity and prevalence of boudoir photography, here is a little background information:

Boudoir means "bedroom" in French. Deriving from the French verb bouder, meaning "to pout," a boudoir was originally defined as a "pouting room" where, in earlier times, a sulky young lady might be sent so she could pout in private. By modern standards, boudoir photographs are anything but sulky! As you will see below, they are intimate portraits that celebrate the beauty of the female form.

As my first assignment as Melissa's intern, I had the pleasure of assisting a pre-Valentine's Day boudoir shoot with the lovely Valerie. A special thanks to her sister, Nicole, for assisting with hair and makeup and to Valerie for bringing the best props...cupcakes, roses and beautiful intimate apparel.

Introducing the lovely Valerie...

Boudoir shoots aren't just for Valentine's Day! Boudoir shoots and related gifts like boudoir books are increasing popular among bridal clients looking to surprise their husbands with a unique wedding present. Whatever your occasion, if you are interested in booking a shoot, please contact the studio to make a reservation.

I would love to hear your thoughts! What did you think of this post?
