Boudoir is a French term that means 'bedroom'. Images are similar to what you might find in a Victoria's Secret catalog and can vary from soft, naturally lit images to dramatic lighting and colors. 

No matter your age or measurements, a boudoir photoshoot is for you. I know how to make the most of all beauty by maximizing my posing and lighting wisdom to bring your beauty to the forefront. 

The hardest part is saying yes! I promise! Once you've paid your retainer and signed your photography agreement, we will set a time to meet over Zoom video conference for your  consultation. At that time, we'll discuss how it all works, from start to finish. We discuss everything and then som! Bring all your questions!

Hair & Makeup 

Hair and Makeup including lashes is included with all sessions (except where stated). This turns your shoot into a day of pampering and takes your shoot to the next level. Not only that, but you will be amazed with the results. I want you to look and feel your best, and this is one way to ensure that you do. 

What To Wear

Planning your wardrobe selection is important, and at the same time should be fun.   All clients will have access to the growing client closet, as well as receive personalized shopping and styling recommendations should you want something outside what I offer in my client closet. This will depend on your tastes. The client closet consists of mostly black. If you're wanting something more colorful or something no one else has ever worn, you may decide to do some shopping.  We will discuss this in depth during your consultation.    Between my growing client closet and a couple of items that you may want to bring, we'll have a perfect wardrobe lined up! 

I do request that you bring a nice black bra and matching panty (thong or cheeky panty)with you as I do sometimes layer a bra underneath other garment to add better support. Do not forget shoes, jewelry, accessories, hats or other meaningful items you might like to include and your wedding ring if you are married.

You will likely not be able to think of much else a few days before your scheduled session. At that point, you may go from feeling excited to feeling a little insecure and uncertain. This is perfectly natural – I want you to know that you will be delighted with the results. I will ensure that you are always comfortable before, during and after the shoot, and are respectful of your space when getting ready as well as during the shoot. 

To have the best images possible with the least amount of retouching required, please ensure you do the following prior to your shoot. Basically, plan as though you are getting ready for your wedding day:

• Get a good night’s sleep the night before your shoot

• Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol, salty and greasy foods the week leading up to your shoot

• Shave / wax your underarms, legs and bikini area.  

• Pluck / wax your eyebrows and upper lip

• Manicure / Pedicure / Press-on Nails

• Freshen your hair color (if this is what you normally do)

• Wear something loose to the studio the day of your shoot so few lines are left on your skin (avoid tight socks/jeans)

• Moisturize your skin the day of the shoot, including your hands, elbows, knees and decolette area.
  

DO NOT worry about looking sexy! I will show you how to pose and will direct your expressions with ease. I do not expect you to act like a professional model and will coach you every step of the way including demonstrations of the poses you are asked to do. This is an empowering experience you will never forget, and I promise...you will look incredibly sexy! All I ask is that you come with an open mind! Let's do this! I can NOT wait, for you to experience the transformation that comes with making the bold and brave expression of self love to have your photograph taken. 

Following your shoot, expect to be a little sore as if you have had a rigorous workout. Many of the poses can feel somewhat like doing yoga, so I have been told. Modeling is hard work! 

Processing images requires  1-2 weeks turn around time. We will set up a reveal/ordering session the day of your shoot for you to return and make your selections.  Product can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks to arrive from the lab. 

   

This was SO outside my comfort zone, like WAY outside. Christine made me extremely comfortable, like we were old friends hanging out snapping some pictures. She is talented and professional and you can tell she believes all women are beautiful no matter the size. She will make you feel that way even if you don’t believe it yourself. This was so FUN! You need to do it! Do it for yourself. Do it because you are happy with who you are at this very moment. Do it because you are beautiful and should always be reminded of that. Do it because you are confidant in who you are, and well, it will make you feel damn sexy.

Thanks Christine!! It was so fun!

2019 is dedicated to me or at least me learning to love exactly who I am. My first step was finally booking with Christine.

I had been stalking her page and the group for almost a year. Not only did I love the sultry look of her photos but her group spoke to me. I wanted to see myself the way she saw every woman she photographed.

I drove the 2 hours, see I was clearly committed (lol), for my consultation and everything I gathered from her posts was exactly what I got. I was immediately comfortable and felt a soul connection as we continued to talk. I showed up for my shoot and felt like I was surrounded by long time friends as my makeup and hair were done. Then it was time for the big deal, what I had been anxious for - to lose my baggy, comfy clothing and bare myself. Surprisingly, it was done with ease. Christine makes you feel so comfortable that it was actually no issue, there was no expected anxiety attack.

Then today I went for my reveal. And I fought back tears. I felt beautiful, truly beautiful. I saw myself the way she did, the way my husband does. For once, I didn’t pick apart every thing about myself. I didn’t over analyze every flaw. I embraced all of it. The good, the bad, but mainly the sexiness.

So, here’s to 2019 and a great beginning to true self love. And because of Christine, this shoot, and some soul searching I can actually see the full picture of who I am, not just the sum of the parts. I can actually say that I love me. Thank you Christine for helping this long needed journey.

I always thought to myself that it would be really cool to do a “sexy” maternity shoot. I have previously done the normal styled maternity shoots and wanted to try something different. After consulting with Christine she assured me that we could accomplish a boudoir shoot even while pregnant.

The weeks leading up to my shoot, my stomach and everything else grew and started to think “I’m going to look like a whale”! I did NOT feel sexy like I do when I am not pregnant. I was really nervous the day of and not confident. Even once I put on the outfits I still just wasn’t feeling it all the way yet. Once Christine got me in position and started snapping I started to feel more comfortable!

Then! She showed me a glimpse of myself on the back of the camera and let me tell you! I could not believe that was me! I was like okay so I can do this!

At the reveal I was sweating! She put that slideshow on and I was like who is this?! I fell completely in LOVE! I couldn’t decide on which to keep! I couldn’t believe how sexy me and my bump looked! I was so proud of what we accomplished! I left my reveal with my cheeks hurting from smiling the entire time. I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since.

It has been one of the coolest experiences of my life!! She gave me the boost I needed to get through these last few months where my body is doing it’s on thing! I can’t wait to do it again!!

So as I relive my photoshoot with Christine all I can do is still think... wow!! These images are really me. Life hasn’t been very good to me but I don’t live in pity... I live in my present and live life abundantly! So 5 yrs ago I was pregnant with twin girls and loving life! Early delivery bc my body started to reject them at 25 weeks left me with micro premie twin girls 1.6&1.7lbs each. 12 inch long. Ava Grace & Eva Faith. I lost Eva to NEC at 8days old and stayed NICU  with Ava for 95 days. Came home on oxygen and lots of other machines. In and out of hospitals for the next few months only to lose Ava at 8 months to pulmonary vein stenosis. So both girls gone and then two months later hubby bails out too!!! Yup, you would think I would just curl up n die. But I didn’t. I turned my sadness, anger and depression into gym time!! I ran in honor of my surviving kids and in memory of my twins I lost. I made a promise to myself to be a better mom to my kids and a better Mimi to my grand babies. My strive to survive method is hardcore but it’s real within my soul. I started this journey 4 yrs ago weighing 270lbs and women’s size 20. I currently weigh in at 165 women’s size 6. I started body building 3 yrs ago and women’s physique. My first show last year I placed 2nd women’s master body building and 2nd open class body building and 3rd women’s master physique at Europa in Dallas!! I say all this to prove a point... if you want it bad enough then you will make it happen! In my mind I still see a 270lb women in the mirror! I still say “let me move my fat ass”! People are like what ass lol ! As a 43 yr old mom of 6 kids 2 being twins and a Mimi to 2 awesome grandsons I was scared of my own reflection. Seeing Christine’s work definitely proved I had an ass and it’s not what I thought it was!! I cried as she showed me her work! I literally said “oh shit my makeup is gonna run!” I didn’t believe it was me! I told her to get that lying ass camera outta here! It was breathtaking to me! We laughed and we cried along the way!! Simply beautiful! So as we went along she asked my limits and of course I had none. I’m an all or nothing kinda girl. She showed me poses to hit that accentuated my muscles. I was worried about loose skin bc I have it in certain areas but she never shot a photo of it. The lighting accentuated every curve and muscle just perfectly! The music, lighting and her professionalism was amazing. She got on my level on so many days leading up to the shoot. So the day of my reveal came around 2 weeks later!! Super nervous!! I walk in and sit down at the desk and see what I think was her screen saver. In my mind I’m thinking “wow she’s beautiful” and of course I said it out loud lol. Then Christine laughed and said silly that’s you!! Yup I cried again!! I had to look closer. I was like wow !! The reveal took me by surprise with the finish product! They are simply stunning! All I could think is this REALLY is me! I want to show them off to the world. Not that my grown boys want to see them of their mom but they are classy photographs. I’m grateful my daughter in law and my son gave me this opportunity to reveal my hard work with a gift certificate. The experience has been totally worth every ounce of anxiety. If you get the opportunity to do this photoshoot I would tell you to go for it and set no limits. Understanding your clients and extreme transformation is a must and Christine does that! As I continue on my journey I have been blessed to add Christine to my story!! I was nervous bc I didn’t really know her but she’s comforting! So comforting I’m gonna do a couples shoot with her ASAP!! So to all the ladies scared to show your curves and scared to step outside of the norm... take the leap of faith!!! You will love it and you will not regret it!! Just do it!!!

Q: How much do intimate photo sessions cost?

A: Most women spend between 2200 and 3000 on their experience. This includes session fees and beautiful luxury albums and art.

Q: Do my images have to be on your website? 

A: No. All images are posted at the discretion of my clients. Many opt to not have any images on my social media and website and that's perfectly fine. Your privacy is my #1 priority. 

Q: Why is a consultation important?

A: A variety of reasons! I get to learn about you and listen to what you would like to achieve during your session. Every session is unique, just like the people I'm photographing, so we’ll have a chat about how we can make this the best experience possible. We’ll also go over any questions or concerns you might have, discuss wardrobe, and I’ll share tips to make sure the session is a success. There will most likely be follow-up emails to nail down final details, and for you to ask any lingering questions.

Q: How many images will I receive?

A: The exact number will vary and will also depend on the package and product that you choose. I take many photos during the session, and afterwards I select the very best to retouch.  These selected images are then retouched by hand to bring the image to its full potential. Every image you will see represents the best of the session.

No matter how many images are created, clients consistently seem to have forty to fifty absolute “favorites” that they want.
