Boudoir is the French word for a woman's bedroom, so it makes sense that when you find a French woman behind your camera, wonderful thingings can happen. Miss C was looking for the ultimate gift for her fiancé, so we made that happen for her here at our studio. This was her first shoot and although a bit nervous she had seen the photos we had done of one of her friends so she knew she was in good hands. One of my greatest challenges as a boudoir photographer is helping my clients feel empowered before we even start the shoot. It is easy for me to say things like “you got this you are beautiful” or “don't worry, I will guide you, you don’t have to know how to pose or anything” but those are just words. Having a friend who has been to our studio and who can share her experience is honestly one of the most powerful tools I have as a photographer.

Why might that be? because you know your friend. You know how hard she can be on herself, you know her on her good days and bad, you know she is beautiful in many ways inside and out. Just like me, you see the beauty in her that she might not see in herself. So when you see how happy your friend is with her experience, and how she feels about her photos, you know you can give boudoir a try too. This is why we have a referral program, and why we value the past clients who pass their experience and our name along to their dearest friends. Word of mouth is one of our best ways to reach clients so thank you. I wanted to use this blog as a reminder that when you refer new clients to us, you get $100 in boudoir bucks to use towards a new session with us.

Client Experience Review:

“My wedding day was 5 months away and I was looking for the best gift to give my future husband. Something intimate, personal, sensual and that we could look at in 20 years and say WOW. 

From the first email/phone call, Sarina made me feel so comfortable. The way she talked to me in her soft tone put me at ease from the start. We talked about what I envisioned and how I wanted the book to feel like. (My dream was a hardcover book that would wow my husband)

The big day was here, March 17th, 10am, my nerves were on fire! I had prepared myself physically and mentally. The skin was tanned and glowing, I had followed her instructions to a T. The second I entered her beautiful home and her elegant studio space, I became a queen! As she did my hair and makeup the conversation flowed and we got to know each other better. The hair and makeup was absolutely stunning! We went through all the items I bought but I was automatically drawn to her enormous client closet. Her outfit selection is incredible! The photo shoot started and my nerves calmed down, all I had to do was listen to her soft directions. She delicately helped me achieve the most beautiful, sensual and elegant poses. I decided to do five wardrobe changes to give me a lot of options for the book. (Little did I know this would make things harder but in a good way) 

I was worried having a woman that I don’t know personally take pictures of me so “up close and personal” would be awkward but on the contraire, I was in complete trust and ease. I was the queen for a day. After the shoot, I went for lunch while she looked over the pictures and prepared the slide show for me to choose the finished product. THIS IS WHEN IT GOT COMPLICATED!! As we sat there, both in awe of the results, I decided that my budget needed to be increased HAHAHA! The hardest thing was making cuts in the hundreds of pictures taken. ALL were just jaw dropping. I will never forget the feeling of goddess when my husband put his eyes on the book the morning of our wedding. His face was priceless! Knowing that would take his name in a few hours and that this is what I look like in private…….. lets just say he was having a good day LOL 

I will finish by saying, Sarina, you are as beautiful inside as you are beautiful outside. Your spirit is just glowing and I am blessed that we got to share such a special day in my life. Please continue to make all of us feel beautiful in our own personal way. You truly are a gift to us all. If we can all learn one thing from you, is that sensuality is limitless and that we are all absolutely stunning no matter how our brain seems to deform the reflection in the mirror. This was not only a spiritual moment with my femininity but also a therapy growth. My brain had never let me see what you showed me with your camera lens! Bless you girl xxx”

Miss C Before and After

I might be a bit biased since I took these photos, but I am truly in love with Miss C’s photos. She brought some really great pieces, like her wedding dress and a New York Yankee jersey. I can’t say I'm much of a sports fan but the yankee jerseys have always been my favourite. I also love doing nude photos with wedding dresses. How much more of a tease can you be on your wedding day by showing your husband how hot you look under that dress… She was also open to a few of my suggestions like this stunning red lingerie with pee-a-boo boobies, shot in the dark room with red roses. We used the tub for a milk bath and red rose petal set, nude of course. Both sets added a little extra romance to her session perfect for the occasion. I hope you enjoy Miss C’s photos as much as I do.

Thank you for your continued support. If you enjoyed this blog please share ti with friends or like and share on our social media.
