What can I possibly say about Miss J that you can’t see just by looking at her photographs? She is just such a stunning beauty! I’m so grateful to her for giving me permission to share her photographs here on the blog & my Facebook Page.

She came in for a Valentine’s Day session for her sweetheart and to make a boudoir book for him. Jennifer Aronson (my studio mate) did her makeup for her, and it was flawlessly perfect! I love that Jennifer not only takes into consideration what colors look the best on my clients, but that she also looks at the outfits they plan to wear for the session and coordinates with them as well. Love it! For this session, Jennifer left us with a fantastic red lipstick for Miss J to wear as well, so half way through we could change it up with an outfit change. It was great having two options!

Once Jennifer was done with her makeup we had the most phenomenal session! I’ll let Miss J tell you about it in her own words – this is just part of her review; you can read the rest of it here.

WOW!! There is only one word needed to describe my shoot with Christine; WOW.

When I arrived I was promptly greeted by Jennifer. Jennifer and I had a fun time with my makeup prior to the shoot. She made me look amazing! Jennifer also helped give me tips on the makeup she was using so I could find it to use at home. Christine came in about halfway through my makeup session. She’s such a joy when she enters a room! Full of energy and life, I felt energized just being around her. Christine and Jennifer do a great job making you feel comfortable! That was a big plus for me.

Once we started the shoot I had a hard time relaxing but Christine knew just how to bring me out of my shell. A few corny jokes and funny poses later, I felt like I had known her for years. We went through tons of outfits and with each one I continued to feel more at ease. My favorite part of the shoot was that Christine would show me the pictures in her camera as we took them. I was so taken aback by how beautiful her photos were. I had seen them on the website but now they were me! I haven’t ever had a photographer that can bring out my beauty as well as Christine. I was so comfortable by the end of the shoot that I was taking pictures in my undies in the front room of her studio. It was wonderful and a huge confidence-building experience for me! …

This was one of the best experiences in my life. I felt pampered, beautiful, and sexy while laughing and having a great time. Christine, you rock!

Miss J & I talked a lot during her session about how incredible it made her feel, what a boost to her confidence it was having intimate photographs done like this. It helped me put into words why I think boudoir photography is so important – it is just amazing the transformation I see my clients have right before my eyes through the process. I have the best job in the world! Thank you Miss J for reminding me of that – and you rock too!

These are the photographs from the front window that Miss J was talking about — I never ask a client if we can shoot up there if I think they might be uncomfortable. The windows are really tinted and it is hard to see into the room, but if you’re standing right in front of the curtains I’m sure you can be seen if people are looking! We were fast though, and we both loved the images!

Thank you again, Miss J! It was incredible working with you, and I can’t WAIT to do it again soon!

I had so much fun at my boudoir session with Mrs. C earlier this year! This gorgeous mom decided that she wanted to do a boudoir photography session at the studio in the Heights to give her husband a special gift. She went from being nervous at first to being completely at ease, and we laughed through most of it!

People often ask me if it is ok if they bring a friend along. Absolutely! It always makes the session even more fun!

From Mrs. C: “Christine did a wonderful job on my photos. I was a little nervous at first, but she made me feel relaxed and comfortable right away. She took her time with the pictures and when I got the proofs I was blown away!! We had a hard time choosing our favorites, and as far as touching up, the pics were so good “as is” because of all the thought she put into each shot. We certainly know where to go for all our future photography needs!”

Here are a few more of my favorites from our boudoir session! Interested in doing a session as well? Fall dates for Houston boudoir photography sessions & holiday gifts are filling up fast – contact me right away to get your session set up, and still get in on the summer special rates!

The beautiful Miss E came into the studio to do a fun boudoir session for her special man who was off serving with the military overseas. She was so excited to do something special for him, and we had so much fun! She brought a girlfriend along with her for the shoot to encourage her and cheer her on. I think Miss E’s exact words were that she isn’t sexy at all. Uhm, I have no idea where she got that from, because she is stunning!

She brought along a jersey for his favorite football team, always a fun way to make it personal! She also brought her favorite lingerie and a pair of toe shoes! Ballet meets boudoir – excellent!

Thank you again, Miss E for being SO awesome to work with! I look forward to seeing you again soon! Maybe for the wedding day? (When her boyfriend got back stateside, he proposed!)

In the past year of Boudoir sessions, I’ve discovered that some of my absolute favorite photos are the most simple, the most pure – ones that involve nothing more than a white sheet or towel. No outfits. Just beauty. (Makeup in the above photo by Jennifer Aronson.)

I’ve been offering boudoir sessions for eight months now, and in that time I’ve had a lot of sessions that are somehow related to babies — several of my clients have talked about how they are trying to get pregnant. One of my clients was just a few days pregnant when we did her session – she didn’t even know it yet. Ms. E came to me shortly after she found out she was pregnant and asked if she could do a boudoir session because she wanted to capture how she looked before her baby was born.

I immediately asked her if she would be willing to pose for me when she was closer to her due date, and I was thrilled when she agreed! For a long time, I didn’t get maternity photography. Why would anyone want that? Then I realized, in part thanks to my AMAZING boudoir clients, that every single woman is beautiful. Pregnant women truly do radiate a special light though. They are just stunning.

Ms. E called me when she reached the 30 week mark and we set up a session time. It worked out that the only day that we were both free was right after the open house this weekend, so we pulled out all the stops on Sunday and did our shoot.

We had such a great time. I joked that in the future, I need to set up a “Bootie to Belly to Baby” package, photographing boudoir through maternity and then the newborn session too. Oh, who am I kidding – it wasn’t a joke. I’ve already got dibs on her newborn photos! I can’t wait for the baby to arrive in a few weeks! (You’ll have to watch for her over on the regular blog.)

Let me know if you would like to book a maternity session with a little boudoir flare!
