Napa Boudoir Photo Shoot in Blooming Mustard Fields

This January I drove out to Oakville for a Napa boudoir photo shoot with Mrs. K, a mom of two, at her home. She had long promised her husband she would do one, and after researching many photographers she chose me because she loved the lighting and attention to detail in my work.

Mrs. K was such a joy to work with. She took great care to prepare by going over my boudoir guide ahead of time and picked lingerie that flattered her body type perfectly. She told me during her session that after measuring herself (using the instructions from my guide) she determined she was a square body type. Knowing this, she chose several beautiful bodysuits plus a really pretty corset from Thistle and Spire.

Vineyard Boudoir Photos in Napa

While the vines were dormant at this point in the year, the wild mustard was in full bloom across the Napa Valley. So we stepped into the vineyard at sunset and I guided her toward some of my favorite images of the day right among the flowers.

Mrs. K’s Before & After

In Her Words

“I had long promised my husband that I would do a boudoir photo session. I researched many photographers and luckily, I came upon Jason Guy’s photographs. I knew within minutes that he was the one I wanted to work with. I loved all the lighting and photo compositions in his gallery. His attention to ALL details is unparalleled! If you have any doubts in your mind about working with Jason, let me save you time, and say unequivocally DO IT!

From our first phone call discussing details about location and the photo shoot, he answered my questions and asked for my input and what I wanted to see. Jason is a consummate professional and I urge you to read his guidance emails about what appointments to make the week of (waxing, manicures etc) and then what lingerie suits your body type. For me this was invaluable advice since I was at a loss what would accentuate my figure, but with Jason’s guide I found great corsets and bodysuits that I loved wearing!

I cannot neglect mentioning Ducky who Jason works exclusively with for makeup and hair. She did an amazing job!

Then during the photo session, seriously listen to everything Jason tells you do. Just smile and enjoy the experience! Jason will help you pose and create the most beautiful and memorable photos of you. I’m still in awe viewing the photos from that day. Thank you so much Jason!

Her Boudoir Album

After her boudoir session I chose my favorite images and designed a custom boudoir album for her and her husband. Once the design was finished we all met on a video call to review it together. They loved what I presented.

Her husband then shared a special request. He asked if we could include some of their winery’s label marks in the book. I loved the idea! We added three marks that they use on their labels: the letters “ER” (for Elizabeth Rose) on the front cover, one as a set break between photo groups, and a cross in a publisher’s mark style on the spine.

The front cover and spine marks were silver embossed. The set break was printed jet black to subtly frame each group of images. The cross on the spine was a one-of-a-kind request I had never done before. I reached out to my album maker Folio Albums and they made it happen exactly as we wanted. These marks became the finishing touches that turned this book into a true fine art boudoir album.
