boudoir photography to embrace your inner goddess

Boudoir Portraits: The Most Incredible Gift

A boudoir portrait session is the best gift that you can give yourself.  There is no better time than the present to rediscover your inner goddess.  Our hope is that you’ll fully give yourself to the experience and tap into your unique source of sensuality – that’s where the magic lies, and it’s already within you.  It’s time to make yourself a priority.  You deserve to experience the empowering world of intimate boudoir photography. 

Every Woman Deserves to be Pampered

Ultimately, the best reason to experience a boudoir session is for yourself! When’s the last time you took the time to take a moment for you? As women, wives, mothers, nurturers, and friends, we often spend our days taking care of others. Boudoir offers a safe space set aside just for you to be loved, empowered, and pampered. Although everyone gets nervous when they show up to their session, we guarantee those fears will disappear when you have your makeup done, drink champagne, blast Beyonce, and pretend to be a cover model for the afternoon.

Boudoir Photography Gives You an Incomparable Confidence Boost

Feeling confident in your own skin can seem impossible.  Showcasing your beauty and feeling like a rockstar is something that we don’t set aside time for in our day-to-day lives, so let’s prioritize feeling great about YOU!

It takes courage to be unapologetically yourself, and to be vulnerable in front of the camera. Letting down your guard and embracing your body will make you feel empowered.  By looking and feeling gorgeous during your boudoir photoshoot, you’ll leave with your head held high and feeling confident to take on the rest of your life.  Once you view the photos, you’ll genuinely wonder, “Why did I wait so long to do this?!”

Every woman has talked themselves out of taking a risk, especially when the risk can make oneself incredibly vulnerable. Our insecurities often speak louder than the truth about ourselves.  The truth is that our self-image is unique and beautiful despite our insecurities. We are our own worst critics.  No one else notices our flaws as much as we do.  Rest assured that we use the most flattering angles, poses and lighting to ensure you look your best. Your portraits will highlight and celebrate the areas you once thought were negative qualities. This process will make you see yourself as the world does: breathtakingly unique. Seeing the portraits in all their glory will have you in awe of yourself.

 

Boudoir Enhances Relationships

When you love yourself, you love others deeper.  Boudoir photography is a path to self-discovery, self love, and so much more.  Boudoir photography shows women the true essence of themselves, not what others want them to be or think they should be. We want to capture your authentic self.  Think of all you have done and will do. This is a celebration of you, your strength, your beauty, and your femininity in every form. When you leave your session, you’ll leave with the knowledge of your own personal power.

Every woman who walks into our boudoir studio is a goddess, and we’ll make sure you know it!  We offer a luxury boudoir experience, so you’ll be exuding confidence during and after your experience.

Enjoy a Life-Changing Experience

We all experience changes in life, some are exciting and welcomed while others are scary and uncertain. We believe taking time for yourself in times of transition is crucial. Having a reason to spoil yourself will alleviate self doubts. There are tons of reasons to invest in you. In preparation for your boudoir photo shoot, you can spoil yourself by getting that facial your skin has been craving for months, and buy yourself some new outfits or lingerie for the occasion. If you’re in a time of transition, relationally, physically, emotionally, or in any other way, boudoir is a beautiful way to center yourself and restore confidence. These positive feelings will overflow into the other areas of your life.

beauty portraits are for all women!

Beauty photography is more than just sensual and inspiring photos of yourself. It’s a life-changing experience that teaches you to love the skin you’re in and embrace it. Boudoir photos are exciting! You get to dress up (dress down), get your hair and makeup done, wear the sexiest clothes, and rock out your session. It’s the moment you rediscover how lovely you are, inside and out. If you’re tired of hiding in the shadows and not living life to the fullest, this could be your first step towards breaking out of that. It’s time to manifest your sexy side!

There are so many occasions to treat yourself to a boudoir session.  As NYC’s premiere portrait photography studio, we specialize in capturing your most gorgeous self as exquisite works of art.  Please contact the studio at 212.868.1076 to schedule your own custom photoshoot, and we can discuss the vision for your portraits.

the beauty of couples maternity

Two of the most beautiful souls will soon be welcoming a baby girl into this world. We were honored to capture this maternity session as they prepare to meet their bundle of joy later this winter. Thank you so much for allowing us to freeze this precious time in your lives, and all the love that you already share for your bundle of joy. We hope that every time you look at these portraits, you’ll be taken back to a time of overwhelming happiness and excitement.

We captured so many gorgeous concepts during our time together, but here’s just a few of our favorites!

We offer a wardrobe of fitted maternity gowns, silk fabrics, lace robes, and crop tops for a variety of beautiful concepts.  You can view styles featured in our portfolio.  Clients are also welcome to bring their own lingerie and styles if they have a particular concept in mind. As you’ll see in our portfolio, we love to get creative!

artistic editing of newborn portraits

As portrait photographers, our passion is creating beautiful custom imagery that will be
treasured by your family for generations. As parents, we want you to remember your newborn
as being tiny, adorable, and perfect in every way. This is your sweet angel, your bundle of joy
and happiness that you’ve anxiously waited for months to cuddle.

As you can see in the before & after sample below, our style of artistic editing is natural, soft and dreamy.
After color correcting for the perfect skin tones, we carefully minimize temporary elements that are distracting
from the overall appeal of an image to enhance the natural beauty. For example, newborn rashes,
skin discolorations, bruises, diaper marks, eye crust, dried milk around the mouth, or patches of dark hair
on the back and shoulders. These are all conditions that will fade away naturally within a few weeks.

Every baby is unique, and that’s what we strive to capture with my portraiture. We want you to be able to
enlarge every image from your gallery as a 40×60 work of art to be displayed proudly in your home.
Of course NYC wall space is limited, but a photographer can dream!
