Boudoir 101
So you have been thinking about a sassy sexy boudoir session and you keep waiting for the right occasion. You're excited by the idea of it, but also SUPER nervous.
You think… I am not a model, I have no idea how to pose, and I just don't think I could look like the women I see on your website!
Let us dispel some common worries for you…
Reasons why women call me to book a session are varied. They often include a big life change you want to document or a celebration.

You want some beautiful images of yourself, just because!
“I don’t have a perfect body”
Get in line sister, none of us do! Real women have real bodies and I love it that way! All body types are beautiful. End of story. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is the best gift we can give ourselves. Many many women have told me that their boudoir session was therapeutic freeing, & empowering. How about making friends with that perfectly imperfect body of yours?!
'“I am not a model. I could never look like the women on your website”
I don't work with professional models. All the women you see on my website & social media are real clients who have given me permission to share their beautiful selves. Women just like you.
“I have no idea how to pose.”
No experience needed. All applicants accepted! (:
Posing you and helping you to relax and enjoy yourself is my job!
“ I feel like I am not young enough. ”
I will let a client answer that one in her own words.
Look below at what she said about her age and doing a boudoir session…
One of the thingsI was terrified of…
…as I aged and entered menopause was losing my sexuality. I wasn’t worried so much about my changing looks or body, just that I wouldn’t feel sexy or sensual. Coming out of COVID, I was the heaviest I have even been, had taken the longest break from exercising in the past 8 years and I decided to do the shoot anyway. I am so glad I did. Jen is just so talented. I adored being pampered and she made frolicking in the woods in my lingerie seem like something I should do everyday. The photos reflect exactly what my vision was. At 53, this photo shoot was my way of getting really brave and saying “I may have moved on from the “maiden” and “mother” stages of my life, but I’m embracing this “crone” phase with everything I’ve got and I’m going to rock it!”--
“ I don’t want to be naked. “
You don't have to be! Empowered beautiful portraits don't need to show much. In fact, portraits that are a little bit suggestive are sometimes even more sensual than overtly naked ones, in my opinion.
“ Who would I give these to? “
