Why do couples do boudoir?
When my husband started photography I thought it would be just a hobby for him, but it turns out he is extremely talented and it came natural to him (for the most part). He loves weddings because he can really get his creative juices flowing. Me on the other hand, I like weddings but it’s just a little too much for me.
I thought about other areas I might dabble in because I do like second shooting for the most part. I love working with the brides and getting detailed shots. Plus it is really exciting when an image you had in mind comes to life!
We did a little family photography and that was not for me either. I love kids but I work with them all day and have two of my own. It just wasn’t something that called to me. Then my husband mentioned boudoir. At first I was unsure but the more I thought about it, the more I realized this is right up my alley.
I have always prided myself on being a strong woman. I have survived a lot, like most women have. We are constantly fighting to be equal and to prove our worth (even though we should not have too). Also like most women I never made time for myself or did anything for me, and just like that She and Him Boudoir was born.
I thought about the name for a couple of reasons, first being that my husband and I both shoot during sessions. The second being that I eventually wanted to branch out for couples. Although our name says She and Him, our studio is open to anyone!
The more I took classes on boudoir photography and worked with couples, I just knew that it was for me! So we started getting clients that were interested. Our last couple’s shoot that we did was seriously amazing. The couple was natural and fun. I know they enjoyed their shoot because they said they felt, “Powerful, gorgeous and closer to my partner” after leaving the studio.
If you are interested please reach out! I know that it can seem overwhelming but we make it as relaxing as possible. Our couple said, “the communication was awesome. I like the joking around and conversations that helped relax things.”
You won’t regret doing this, whether it is for yourself or for you and your partner.
