Stay Calm and Healthy….
Hello Beauties! WOW what a week! I’m having a hard time wrapping my
head around how much our world has changed in just a weeks’ time but
understand the necessity. That being said…be assured that Scott and I, and
Elegant Life Boudoir, are not going anywhere and will be here to make
your photo dreams come true.
In the meantime, we are spending time reconnecting with family and
friends, helping our neighbors and planning some amazing poses and
lighting techniques for you to experience during your photo sessions with
us. Also, I will be posting LOTS inspiration on our page in the coming
weeks. We hope that these images INSPIRE you and that you will begin
imaging the possibilities for your photos.
Stay healthy and safe sweet friends and be on the lookout for some cool
images, maybe a contest or two, and possibly some photo session
specials. And don’t forget to shop small and support your local businesses
especially during this time.
Love and hugs,
Donna

What happens during a boudoir shoot?
Everything! We start by giving you a complimentary makeover. Hair and
makeup application are included as part of our service and we style you so
you look GORGEOUS. Then, you put on your first outfit and we get
shooting. We will walk you through each pose and add just the right
lighting for the style you chose. After the first outfit, we take a little break,
have a small snack and just take some time to get to know each other
better then move on to the next outfit. We will do three or four outfits at
each session and have these great breaks in between. Total time for the
session is usually about four hours. One hour of prep (hair and makeup)
and three hours of shooting, laughter and fun. By the end of the day, our
clients feel like family. After all the shooting and snacking is done, we will
wrap up and help you get everything ready to go. It’s a fabulous day!

Do you do boudoir photography for men or for women?
We do boudoir photography for WOMEN! We believe that a boudoir
session is one of the most empowering and special experiences a woman
can give herself. When a woman sees herself as the powerful, beautiful
and sexy person she really is, it will change everything. I always tell our
client that she will walk a little taller, smile a little more and that after her
session she will see herself in a completely new and wonderful way. And I
know because I have been on the other side of camera and my experience
changed the way I saw myself.
So, ladies, if you want to give your photographs to your significant other –
that is GREAT! But…do this for yourself.
