Petaluma Boudoir Photographer
Hello! My name is Jason Guy, and I'm a Petaluma boudoir photographer. My aim is to reshape your self-image through my photography. I do this by capturing you from your most flattering angles and under the most beautiful lighting. If the images on this page catch your eye, I'll help you craft similar ones for your session. Whether you're looking to alter how you see yourself or desire to create an enticing gift for someone dear, I'm thrilled to work with you. Together, we'll produce stunning photographs that genuinely capture your essence.
What’s Included with Your Boudoir Photo Shoot
Planning Call: We start with a planning call. Here, we’ll discuss what you envision for your session. I'll share tips on how we can achieve the best photos, and I’ll answer all your questions. This ensures you're completely comfortable and prepared for the day.
Makeover: Included in your deposit is a full makeover, ensuring you look stunning for your photos. This makeover covers makeup application, false lashes if desired, and hair styling—either straightening or curling. Want a sneak peek of the transformations? Check out our before and after gallery below.
Photo Shoot: Your shoot day is an all-day event. It starts at 10am with the makeover and transitions into the photo session by 12pm. I will guide you through various poses, capturing your beauty, until 5pm.
Image Reveal: Finally, the exciting part: the image reveal! You’ll get to see the beautiful photos we captured and choose your favorites to keep and cherish.
Before & After: Transforming Your Confidence
All "before" shots are taken without any makeup, prior to hair styling, without any pose coaching, and under standard lighting conditions. "After" shots are taken post-makeover. Each image displayed is carefully directed, illuminated, and retouched personally by me to ensure the highest quality. I never outsource this work, with the intention of maintaining a standard of excellence in every detail.
Feeling Nervous About A Photo Shoot? Read About Their Boudoir Experience
Don't stress over posing or feeling awkward. With thousands of hours spent photographing hundreds of women, I guarantee you'll love the art we create together. Interestingly, many of the women featured are not professional models; they're individuals just like you, often with minimal camera experience who never imagined they'd be showcased on my website. So, instead of telling you how much you'll love your photos, I think it's better to let them share how their photo shoots transformed them, in their own words.
I have nothing but great things to say about my time spent with Jason. He is 100% professional when you might feel the most vulnerable and he does it with style. I highly recommend booking a session with him and letting him work his magic with you. You truly won’t be disappointed. 5 stars!
This was truly a delicious experience that I wish I could repeat every year. After coming out of a difficult time in my life, I wanted to do something to see the more sensuous and seductive side of myself and thought boudoir photography would be a great step. In searching for someone, I wanted to know that I was going to be empowered by the final product and was very impressed by Jason's portfolio and as soon as I kicked off the process, I had no regrets. Jason was a true professional and great at making me feel both comfortable and beautiful. Ducky gave me the best makeover of my life... while still making me feel like myself. The final shots are something that I will treasure - I would (and have) recommended this experience to anyone I know.
Jason,
Thank you, thank you! A million thank yous!
I can't thank you enough for the amazing opportunity to work with you this last weekend. I had an amazing time and truly appreciate your professionalism -- it made the experience very easy and wonderful!
The unknown makes me uneasy. My nervousness was my own insecurities about myself, my body and my shyness. I also have never had professional photos of any kind done and was nervous putting myself in such a vulnerable position. Your easy-going nature and positive personality quickly washed those nerves and fears away. You give off a very familiar positive vibe, that makes working with you so easy and comfortable.
I take pride in my body, working out and feeling good about myself. I have, since my teens, been very critical of myself -- always poking and picking at myself about my body and weight. I've never felt sexy or confident. After our photo session, I felt sexy and confident. This was a life-changing experience for me. It has opened my eyes in so many ways. I feel empowered, in control of my fears, nerves, anxieties.
The roads we choose to take, the choices we make and the people we choose to be with in life sometimes are not the best choices. Some get the best of us and bring us down creating fears, insecurities and sadness. This wonderful experience with you has allowed me to love myself, see my beauty within, hear my voice, and feel sexy and confident. It has, in a way, set me free! I feel stronger and braver.
I truly appreciate your passion and compassion and focus. You gave me the best experience and I look forward to hopefully working with you again. I feel that my next boudoir shoot with you will be just as wonderful -- I will be much stronger after this last experience.
I can't wait to see the final photographs and feel the power of my sexiness! Thank you so much for allowing me to experience this!
With great appreciation and love,
Barbara
What a fear breaker!
The professional experience I had with Jason significantly elevated my journey of expressing self-love. His makeup artist, Ducky, was as fabulous as ever, and I can honestly say that after my reveal, I felt like a new woman on the inside. I confronted my fears head-on and found myself trying to come up with numerous reasons not to gift myself something so beautiful. It's an experience every person should do for themselves. Yes, it's boudoir, but it's the best damn experience to showcase a confidence that fear often suppresses. From discussing the details to showing my reveal, he didn’t miss a beat, and I would highly recommend his services.
Jason is an amazing photographer with an eye for small detail. Most people are shocked when they hear I had a man as my photographer for my boudoir shoot. Jason made the experience very comfortable and poses you in ways that hide your "flaws." By the end I felt like a professional. He is honest, hilarious, and an overall very kind person.
At 38 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My little guy was induced right away so I could start treatment asap. With a newborn at home and constant doctor appointments I had very little time to get anything done. I have always wanted to do a boudoir shoot and really wanted to document my body before I got cut into and lost all my hair.
I found Jason’s website on a random search and was immediately impressed by his work. Most of the boudoir photos I came across in my online search came off really corny to me, but as soon as I saw Jason’s work I knew this was what I wanted. I was particularly impressed by his before and after shots. They were beautiful and not the least bit corny.
Jason spoke with me over facetime and listened to what I was looking for and went out of his way to make this happen for me before treatment started. I was extremely nervous, here I am 2 weeks postpartum, no experience taking pictures, and no wardrobe (I’ve been in nothing but maternity panties for months). Jason shows up and immediately puts my husband and I at ease. He is extremely personable, professional, and talented.
The stylist Ducky was delightful and talented. She made me feel beautiful and my hair was perfect. Jason and Ducky helped me look through my closet and made it fun. They made me feel so comfortable. I was not expecting this level of photography.
Jason is an artist and you can tell he is passionate and enjoys his work. He does not settle for anything less than exactly what you want. I can’t say doing this shoot was easy but I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone other than Jason. He made me feel strong even in an environment where you would think I would feel vulnerable.
When Jason showed me the final photos I had a really hard time finding words. I’m not very emotional but was very overwhelmed with the beauty he was able to capture. My body isn’t perfect but it is mine and it is beautiful. He was able to capture ME. I will be forever grateful for him and doing this for me.
I recommend to anyone looking into doing boudoir photos DO IT and do it NOW. Don’t wait for the perfect time because there isn’t one and you will never get to have this special gift. I also recommend having Jason capture your beauty. His talent is only shadowed by his wonderful personality. You will not regret it.
Jason is the best! Super professional, respectful, and understanding! I have never been comfortable in front of a camera. Jason didn't judge me and my nervousness, he eased me through the whole process. Talked me through the schedule and showed me other photos to get ideas. If I was a famous model I would only hire Jason. Thanks to Jason I would have him take my photo more often. I strongly STRONGLY Recommend doing a set with Jason. He brings out the beauty in everyone!
My experience with Jason was nothing short of wonderful! He is very professional, genuine, easy to be with, informative and straight forward, and made the whole experience comfortable and FUN!
His incredible makeup artist came in and worked her magic quickly and effortlessly. She was sweet and fun and clearly knows her craft (I also have super sensitive skin/eyes and was concerned about the makeup...but I had no issues whatsoever).
The rest of the day was a lot of hard work, and A LOT of fun!! It could have been a very vulnerable experience to elect to have, but Jason made me feel so safe and free. The day was definitely filled with a lot of laughing and play.
And the final product? GORGEOUS!! His artistry and skill are impeccable...the images are beautiful, refined, artistic. Jason offers a high quality experience with an exquisite product. I couldn’t have asked for more!
Furthermore, I have to note how thrilled and appreciative I am that Jason uses a company to make the books that is dedicated to be environmentally conscious. These books are absolutely exquisite in every detail, and made with conscious non-toxic elements...and to receive them in packaging that can either be naturally recycled or dissolved in water (literally, the packing popcorn is made of corn starch) is fantastic!! Well done in every way, Jason!!
Jason is a true photography WARLOCK! I have never been so intimidated initially and then within 10 minutes felt like I had been doing this for years! His guidance is extremely thoughtful concerning your figure, features, and expressions. He wants to highlight your attributes and erase your mind of your flaws so that they become part of your uniqueness and nothing of a negative nature. He is able to make you extremely comfortable at your most vulnerable. I initially went to speak to him about a body positivity project. I believe women in all shapes and sizes should feel beautiful. Though I carry this view, I allow myself to fall prey to societies unobtainable perception of the beautiful woman. Well, friends, Jason is doing this work in the now. He captures your inner beauty and your looks are the icing on that cake. If you are looking for a confidence boost the buck stops here.
Jason is the absolute best! So very professional and personable, immediately puts you at ease and knows exactly how to pose you for the best photo shoot ever. Do this for yourself, you will not regret it! It boosted my confidence and self esteem to a whole new level. Jason, you ROCK!! I love my photos and so does my husband. Best decision ever!
Get ready to say goodbye to all of your insecurities because by the time you’re through with your shoot, they’ll be long gone! The way Jason posed my body into and out of the light, I quickly realized I was in good hands and after he shared a few shots with me, my butterflies disappeared. As the day went on, his photos made me even more confident. I highly recommend a boudoir session with Jason - you’ll finally see yourself as beautiful as everyone else does!
What a phenomenal experience to get a boudoir shoot with Jason Guy! From beginning to end it was comfortable, inspiring, and above all fun! Jason is a rare professional and top of his field. He found ways to photograph me that nobody else has that really made an incredible difference in not only the modeling and the photos, but also in the way I viewed myself. Duckie Rickman is nothing short of an artist with the hair and makeup. I cannot express enough the dedication and effort that goes into the photoshoot and editing process. This is so worth it. Book a shoot today. You won't regret it.
Jason is the best! He is such a kind individual and amazing at what he does! I highly recommend every lady work with Jason at least once!
Oh man where can I start with Jason Guy. Let’s start by saying if you want literally your mind blown look at his photos. He is the most awesome photographer. I first met Jason in 2017, I was looking for a boudoir photographer because my birthday was coming up, and I wanted to gift myself. From the first moment Jason and I started speaking we hit it off, we were laughing and we were joking and I knew this was going to be awesome.
Well let me tell you how much “awesome” was a understatement. I was so nervous for my first shoot, I didn’t know if I was going to look good, I didn’t know if I was going to be able to pose, how awkward was I going to look on camera, because let me tell you, I am the most awkward individual. But Jason showed me all his posing techniques, key words to listen for and the next thing I know we are shooting. He shows me my first image and I say “I knew you were good, but I didn’t know you were that good”. The experience was unforgettable, so unforgettable that I shot with him again over a year later. At both reveal sessions I was blown away with how gorgeous my pictures came out.
If you want to feel beautiful from the moment you sit in hair and make up chair this is the photographer for you. Don’t pass up the chance to shoot with and make gorgeous happen.
Astonishing doesn't say enough. His talent and professionalism are truly amazing. His work is stunning and every woman should have him do her photos. This is for you ladies. You'll feel beyond beautiful.
Where to begin. I have always been interested in doing a boudoir shoot. I've seen friends shoots and pictures online just never thought I could go through with it. Jason's Facebook profile popped up on my feed one day and I followed and I was truly amazed at his work. Breathtaking work. One day I decided to contact him and from there everything just fell together. Being a girl of bigger size and mom of 4 my body I feel has gone through war. I truly didn't think it could be pulled off. I picked my location which ended up being more amazing than I had imagined. However Jason's eye for this is one of a kind. As you’re going through the shoot wondering if lighting is truly ok or this weird pose he's putting you in will look right. Well let me just tell you every bit of it was so worth it. My photo reveal yesterday took my breath away. I'm not an easy person to make cry but I cried in amazement of how beautiful the pictures came out. So if anyone who has considered to do a boudoir shoot I 200% recommend Jason to do yours. You won't regret it.
