Every year, Ben and I do one photoshoot for our anniversary. The year 4 traditional gift is fruit or flowers… I suppose we have always been a tad non-traditional. Last year, we did an intimate session with my pal Laura Quintero and this year, I actually won a boudoir session with Michael and Carina to […]

Looking for a natural light photo studio in the DMV area? You found it! Kir Tuben Photography is opening her in-home studio for rental this year!

I have been drawn to the idea of intimacy on film for quite some time now. About a year ago, Ben and I did an intimate portrait session in our condo. Since I drag my poor husband in front of the camera about once a year, he is well versed in all of the possible […]

Project Passion | Intimate Portrait Sessions | Virginia Studio Photographer Kir Tuben

What can I say about this post that won’t make me weepy. I have now photographed this couple for 3 years (starting in 2016 for their engagement session). Now, I am lucky enough to photograph Alison & Ryan in this incredible stage of their lives right before they become parents. This cozy maternity session was […]

When B arrived for her boudoir appointment, I nearly stopped breathing! Since most of my clients book me online, I rarely know what they look like before they arrive at my studio. B looked like she stepped straight out of a magazine! I felt more like I was shooting a model than an actual client!

When L told me she wanted to gift her groom with some sultry bridal boudoir, I was over the moon! I just adore this bride and was thrilled to honor her wedding bod through imagery! These images will forever be frozen in time so when she is old and grey, she can look back and remember her youth and how it felt to be a bride to be.

Jenifer and Vincent actually live in California together but seem to be world travelers. These two got engaged in Mexico and were in D.C visiting family this March when they decided to snap engagement photos! They missed the Cherry Blossoms by one week but were determined to get some classic District of Columbia engagement pictures when they were in town so we woke up at sunrise and were met with 30 degree temps and crazy wind! Although this couple seems to be beach enthusiasts, they did fabulously in the cold!
