This is a testimonial from one of my clients after her Boudoir photography session.
“I had been thinking of getting boudoir photos taken, for my soon to be husband as a wedding gift. Never in my life had I ever considered doing this ever before. I knew it was something he would love and appreciate as I knew he loved me so much.
After I had looked at Karen’s work online, I thought her work was very tasteful. I also knew her personally as I had met her at a few networking events. Once I made the appointment, I spent the next few weeks freaking out. What was I to wear, what will this be like and in disbelief that I had just signed up to be photographed with very little covering my body, ugh? Karen talked me through what the day would look like and promised she would handle everything down the smallest details.
Oh boy did she deliver!
During the process I did shed some tears as I have never been in a situation where I felt more beautiful about myself and my body. Of course, the final results looked amazing. Karen is a true artist. The photos exceeded my expectations and really brought out my individual personality. You would’ve thought Karen had known me for 20 years. My husband loves the photos. After all was said and done, I truly love the photos and I started seeing myself very differently than I had in the past. My life changed for the better that day, I had a newfound self-confidence.
All women should do this for themselves. I promise it will eliminate negative self talk and restore self confidence. I am actually considering doing this for myself every few years.
You must truly love yourself before you can love others. I use to think this is just something my mom would say to me when I’d had a bad day, but after this photo experience I truly believe it to be true. Karen has a very special skill for bringing out inner beauty through her photos, that I didn’t even know existed. Thank you so much, Karen!!
As I arrived at her studio I was met with the most lovely make up artist who applied my make up perfectly for the day’s photo shoot, and my hair was then styled perfectly. I was very nervous in the beginning and Karen came through walking me through each pose with grace, are and clarity and as the session progressed I just became so comfortable and really started to have a lot of fun with it. When we were finished, I was tired but so excited and I couldn’t wait to see the end results and present them to my husband. ”
Bravo Gina for braving the courage to reveal your beauty!!!

How to Prepare for Your Photo Session
When having your portrait taken, there are areas where a little advanced preparation can make a huge difference. If you neglect them, an otherwise perfect photo could end up with distracting elements.
Starting a least a week before your shoot, decide on outfits, choose which beautification steps you will take, and schedule the appointments (even if they’re just with yourself). Remember, these are tips for preparing for your shoot but definitely not required, or necessary for everybody. Just choose what fits your budget, lifestyle, and current beauty regimen, and go from there!
– Face –
Exfoliate. A nice, soothing session using a grainy scrub (or gently rubbing your skin with a washcloth) on your face and body is an indulgent way to spend an evening. It is best to exfoliate a couple of times before your appointment, but be sure to allow a few days between ‘treatments’, as well as a couple of days after the last one before your shoot.
Get a Facial. If you want to go into pampering mode, be sure to do your facial at least a week before your shoot. Since facials tend to cause redness, a week usually allows enough time to heal.
Wax Eyebrows. If you decide to have your eyebrows waxed or threaded, be sure to schedule the appointment for at least a few days before your photo shoot. Otherwise, an eyebrow trim/touch up at home could be done a day or two before the shoot.
I highly recommend treating yourself and get all these things done by an aesthetician. All you have to do is lay back and enjoy the truly relaxing experience.
