Bam. Have you ever seen someone so stunning in their nickers? I haven’t! Ellese and I planned a little boudoir session as a wedding gift for Dave while we were visiting Tulum and she was kind enough to let me share them on the blog. How lucky am I?!  The inspiration for this shoot was natural bohemian-chic. We agreed that we wanted to accent Ellese’s natural features by minimizing makeup, hair and any kind of retouching.

Let’s talk about boudoir. Boudoir is a genre of photography that has a special place in my heart. Mostly because it is an art form about female empowerment that takes a high level of skill, empathy and understanding. A bad boudoir shoot can look like porn and make a woman feel self-conscious. A well-executed, styled boudoir session can make you feel invincible and sexy as hell.
