There’s something truly empowering about stepping out of your comfort zone and seeing yourself in a whole new light. That’s exactly what happened during this Sebastopol boudoir photo shoot with Mrs. M. She walked into her session feeling nervous, but by the time we finished, she was glowing with confidence. Boudoir photography isn’t just about pretty pictures —it’s about feeling alluring, and embracing the beauty that’s already there.
Before & After: Mrs. M’s Transformation
Like many of my clients, Mrs. M arrived feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. The idea of being in front of a camera, wearing something intimate, can feel daunting. But within minutes, she realized she was in a safe, supportive space. I guided her to some flattering angles and showed her the back of the camera. She quickly let go of her self-doubt. By the end, she was posing like a pro, owning every moment with grace and confidence.

In Her Words
“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.”

The Details About This Sebastopol Boudoir Photo Shoot
The session took place in a stunning Sebastopol Airbnb that my client rented just for this experience. The space had a rustic log cabin feel with unique elements like the glass block shower. This background fit perfect with Mrs. M’s boho style.
Unfortunately this location is no longer available for rent, however you can get more boudoir location ideas here. If you’re considering a session, I highly recommend exploring unique, private locations like this one if you want a background that’s unique.
