Blanche’s Boudoir Session | Baton Rouge, LA

©2014 Breathless Boudoir | Jen & Max Trombly

Blanche came in to our studio to create a boudoir book as a gift for her fiancé on their wedding day.  We created art that she loves so much she ended up getting the album AND some wall art!  I can’t wait to see her images in print form!

What was your biggest fear before the session? Did your fear come true, and if not, what happened instead?
I was worried that the shoot would not be tastefully done. This fear did NOT come true. I felt comfortable having both the husband and wife team there! I was worried that because the session is for my fiancé and has sexual undertones that it may be
cheapened in a way. This was totally not the case. I felt confident and comfortable the whole time and felt really good about
myself. Continue reading

Erica’s Boudoir Session | Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Erica is an extraordinary woman whom I found very inspiring.  She has been through some really rough stuff, but was given a new chance at life and has not taken it for granted.  Her personality had so much spunk that it inspired me to try new things with her, particularly in the fine art nudes section.

A pick-me-up for a bad day.

Please excuse me while I get  real for a minute…

Jen_selfie-11

It’s been one of those days, actually, one of those months.  I’ve just been feeling really down on myself, not liking what I see in the mirror, yada yada yada.  Self esteem is something I’ve struggled with for my entire life.  This is one of the reasons I do what I do with boudoir photography.  I know how much low self esteem can affect different aspects of your life.  It’s such a gift to be able to give women that little boost of confidence and let them know just how beautiful they are.  These past few weeks when I’ve been down have been really getting to me, I’ve been in a bad mood, irritable towards Max, not able to focus on tasks, etc.  To be frank, I’ve just felt like crap.  And tired.

Last Chance for a Destination Boudoir Session!

It’s almost here!!!  I can almost taste the salt water and feel the sun on my skin!  In all the excitement I had built up over the Fine Art Destination series I recently posted, I couldn’t help myself. I just had to plan a few days where regular clients can have the amazing experience of doing an exotic destination boudoir session!  In the moment my mom took the camera from me and photographed ME (seriously, that happened.  If you haven’t seen the series yet, click here.) I felt like every woman (and/or man) should be able to feel that sexy!  I’ve honestly never felt more amazing than when I was rolling around in the sand seductively.

This July 15, 16 & 17 you will have the opportunity to feel the sexiest you have EVER felt!  We will be doing beach photo shoots on the sugar white sands of Navarre Beach, Florida.  This is going to be the confidence boost of a lifetime, and it will never be this affordable again!  The sessions are $650 and include hair and makeup.  It’s the same cost for couples, so feel free to bring your significant other and make it a romantic getaway vacation!

We released this opportunity to our past clients first, now it’s open to everyone (men too!)  Therefore, we only have 4 spots left! So don’t hesitate and miss this chance!

Contact me now to reserve your spot!  225-571-3668

What to Wear for Your Boudoir Session

So you’ve booked your boudoir session.  Now the biggest question looms in your mind…what to wear?

A common mistake many make when planning their boudoir session is thinking that boudoir is only one thing: matching lingerie sets.  This is not the case at all!  Your boudoir session should be all about YOU first and foremost.  You should feel completely comfortable in what you’re wearing (unless you’re going for the uncomfortable stuff) and it should make you feel sexy!  Don’t feel like you have to fit yourself into the box of what most people are doing for their boudoir sessions.  BE YOU!  Whether that means going all out for the full lingerie set, garter belt, stockings and high heels or simply barefoot with cotton undies and a t-shirt.

The focus of your session should be you, not your wardrobe or props.  Keep patterns to a minimum as they can be distracting.  Bright colors can be as well, but sometimes bright colors truly fit certain personalities. It all depends on you. Your outfits will determine the look and feel for your session, so keep that in mind when you’re choosing.  Do you want your session to feel more dark and mysterious, or would you prefer light and airy?  If you feel like you have multiple facets of your personality consider doing multiple sessions and changing the hair and makeup as well. If you’re planning on purchasing prints or canvases for your home, consider the colors in the rooms where you want to hang things.  Choose colors that will compliment your decor.  (and make sure to measure your wall space before your session!)

Let’s dive into some wardrobe options:

Matching set

The matching lingerie set is one of our most common wardrobe options.  You can’t go wrong with matching bra and panties, and they come in endless options.  Solid black /white is classic and timeless.  The most important consideration for the matching set is to make sure it fits right.  That goes for everything on this list, actually.  If you go a size down from what you should wear, it will create bulges under the bra band and around the underwear band.  I’ve never met a woman who has referred to the “muffin top” affectionately, so be sure it fits right!  If you’re not sure, ask an associate to measure you.  Click here for our blog and a video on getting the proper fit.

Fine Art Destination Boudoir Photography | Florida | Part 4 of 4

©2014 Breathless Boudoir | Jen TromblyThis is the last blog in the travel boudoir series from Florida, and possibly one of my favorite… though it’s such a close race because I love ALL of the posts so much! My heart is in the forest, that’s where I feel the most connected to nature, and the most at peace.  It also proved to be the most challenging shoot of all of them. Continue reading
