Often times people don’t know what to call my style of photographic work. Technically it’s called boudoir (pronounced bü-ˌdwär) photography. I tend to think of it as expressive or intimate portraiture session because to me, that’s exactly what it is. I work one on one with my clients in an intimate setting to capture them expressing...
Hello ladies! Just posting really quick about the studio’s 2016 Holiday boudoir photography session deadlines.

This beautiful woman on the blog today is one of my dearest friends here in Virginia. I’ve known her for more years than I can remember at this point. I’ve tried many times over the years to get her in front of my camera and finally she let me. She is one of the kindest,...

Those of you who know me may know that I’ve been struggling with back pain issues for a while now. Recently I found out that I have a fractured vertebrae and one of my disks is basically gone. This sucks! On top of sucking, it makes it painful for me to stand for long periods...
As a boudoir photographer one of my favorite types of images to create is of couples. These sessions have a feel to them that is connected, intimate, and very personal.
