About Jason Guy

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. To this point, I’ve even had a large number of women go so far as to say that 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!

The Man Behind the Camera

In my personal life, I am a devoted husband to my beautiful wife, Misty, and proud father to our son Hayden, and our new baby girl, Violet. Family is everything to me, and I strive every day to be the best version of myself for them. Time with my family is what I cherish most, whether we are out on hikes, enjoying home cooked meals, or spending quality time with friends. Some of our favorite moments are spent together on family movie nights or playing video games. I usually win but Hayden is catching up!

Our big goal as a family is to explore more of the beautiful places around us through overlanding trips. There is something special about getting off the beaten path and experiencing as much of the world as we possibly can. Having been a mechanic in a former life, I still love tinkering with my truck and keeping it in top shape. It keeps my brain happy to learn new things, and there’s a real satisfaction in knowing it’s ready for whatever adventure we have planned!

The bride stands elegantly atop a rock, her flowing white gown cascading down the uneven surface, while holding a delicate, glowing parasol that illuminates the foggy air around her.

My Fitness Journey

For most of my life, the gym felt boring, and consistency was always a struggle. That all changed when my wife wanted to start a new hobby together. Honestly, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about it, but I committed to figuring out how to enjoy the gym so I could spend more time with her.

Somewhere along the way, I got hooked. After a few years of studying bodybuilding, I stumbled across powerlifting—a subcategory of strength building—and everything clicked. I started to see profound, life-changing progress. The physical changes I’ve experienced are something I never thought would happen to me after years of struggling with chronic joint pain.

What I didn’t expect was how my clients would reinforce this journey for me. Getting to photograph people not wearing very much showed me what’s truly possible at 40, 50, and even 60 years old. They showed me what works and what doesn’t. It certainly inspired me to witness firsthand how much taking care of yourself slows the aging process.

That’s why I’ve become so passionate about this subject. I know how much time people waste on ineffective routines (I did for most of my life). This is especially true when women are trying to “tone up” for their boudoir photo shoot. The truth is, with the right approach, you can make real progress and transform not just your body, but also the way you feel about yourself. If you’re not sure where to start, you can check out this guide I made about how to tone up for your boudoir photo shoot. It gives you all the information you need to make the biggest visual impact in the shortest amount of time as you prepare for your session.
