Trust. It’s such a thing to gauge these days, don’t you think? There are so many options and opinions on EVERYTHING - from food delivery to when and how we can stop social distancing - how do you know which one to trust?

Before your boudoir session, it is so important you feel you can trust your photographer. You need to trust that they will make you feel comfortable, that they will make you look your best, that their retouching philosophies are in line with yours, that they will will honor your privacy … the list goes on.

The best way to find a boudoir photographer is by word of mouth - if like minded friends had good experiences with a photographer, there’s a good chance you will feel comfortable with them as well.

If you don’t know anyone who had a boudoir session they loved, you should definitely do your research to find a photographer whose style you like but also who you will feel comfortable being around. This is why I always offer up one on one consults if a client is interseted in speaking before our shoot. It’s not required of course - life is busy and sometimes you just don’t have the time. Sometimes, you can just get a sense of a photographer from their website and blog, which is why I try to interject personal posts here along with client testimonials and other boudoir-related advise.

Well, Ms. A was one of the women who found me by way of doing her research. She’s a former actress and dancer, as am I, and without speaking beforehand, we just clicked right away.

Cna we also just talk about her wardrobe for a moment?? That white corset was something very special - it was LEGIT and let me tell you, it took a very long time lacing up and getting on (and off for that matter!) The fabric and boning were just so beautiful - it was a truly special piece. And then of cours,e one of my long standing favorites, Thistle and Spire, always comes through with standout lingerie.

In her own words:

The shoot was so easy and fun. The angles you were able to capture are stunning, and the whole process was a joy. Stephanie is your personal instagram filter, your friend who goes out of their way to get your best angle -- she's going to bring out the most flattering version(s) of you. Trust her.

This is what it’s all about. It’s about opening eyes, gaining self-love, shifting perspectives, and recognizing how incredible YOU are. Thank you SO much, Ms. A, for your kindness, your beautiful words, and most importantly for trusting me to give you this experience and these finished products. I’m over-the-moon that you have the most exquisite collection of images to treasure forever.

XOXO, Stephanie
