To be completely candid I got into boudoir photography on accident. When I decided to get serious about my portrait photography years ago, I first asked family and friends if I could take their picture so I could practice my lighting and technical skills.
I quickly realized that even though I was practicing on people I’ve known for all my life, I completely lacked the ability to direct and pose them towards pictures that flattered them.
This is when I decided to study boudoir photography.
You see, the goofy way my brain is wired told me that if I could direct and light someone with minimal or no clothes, then I could pose a bride wearing her wedding dress in my sleep. As it turned out, that is exactly what happened!
I learned to pose and light people so well that I actually started getting hired as a posing stylist by local wedding photographers. I honestly thought I was going to be shooting mostly weddings and traditional portraits at the time. Meanwhile I continued photographing boudoir on the side in an attempt to get better at posing women of all shapes, sizes and age ranges.
That’s when I started to REALLY experience the other side of what I was doing. I had been so hell bent on getting better at my craft it took quite a while for me to realize just how impactful this experience was starting to become for the people I was photographing.
I began seeing women cry when I gave them their final images. I started getting thank you notes and messages letting me know how seeing themselves as beautiful sensual beings had catapulted their self confidence. I’ve even had a few people go so far as to say their boudoir experience changed their lives.
My outlook on what I do has matured from wanting to take the best picture a woman has ever seen of herself, to becoming completely obsessed with helping women change the way they see themselves
Boudoir photography is a celebration of who you are, a discovery of one’s self, and a priceless self confidence boost EVERYONE should experience. If my work resonates with you, I invite you to get in touch, so we can set up a time and discuss your intended session!
In my personal life I am a devoted husband to my beautiful wife Misty and father to my sons Hayden (the human) and Brower (the woof). I strive every day to be the best person I can for all of them and cherish my time with them above all else.
In our free time we very much enjoy doing normal family stuff like hikes, home cooked meals and seeing friends. Our goal for the future is to explore more of the beautiful places around us on family overlanding trips and try to experience as much of the world around us as we possibly can!
Having been a mechanic once upon a time, I very much enjoy tinkering with my truck and keeping it in top shape to minimize the chance of us getting stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It keeps my brain happy to learn new things and I like knowing my way around it just in case I need to repair it out in the wild at some point.
In my very limited free time, my personal project over the last few years has been focused on improving my fitness and building my body. I have taken a keen interest to the weight room after being anti gym guy for the vast majority of my life and I am thoroughly enjoying process. It was honestly my clients who inspired me to start this project and now that they’ve shown me what’s possible, it is my goal is to keep this habit consistent for the rest of my life.
