I have a funny story about C’s session.

We were right in the middle of her shoot when I started to smell something burning. I stoped for a second and asked her “Do you smell that? Something is burning?” I followed my nose and it led me to peek my head out of the studio door into the hallway where I found my neighbor with her door wide open fanning smoke out of her place. I asked if she needed any help and she said the fire is gone but there’s just so much smoke and she didn’t needed help with but thanked me for the offer and the fire dept was on their way. And unfortunately the windows don’t open.

So I came back to resume the session now that I knew what was going on. No fire, but there’s smoke in the hallway. Fast forward to 10 min later the fire alarms were finally going off and and I peeked my head out again to check and see if we had to evacuate the building. They said we were good to stay, there’s no fire. Looks like it’s under control. Phew!

If you can imagine me trying to pose and shoot through a screaming alarm, that’s exactly what I did. C and I posed through about 7-10 min of blaring alarms where at times it felt like we were playing charades. We couldn’t help but laugh through it all. Well, there’s a first for everything, right? Thank you C for powering through those alarms that were out of my control!

Needless to say we created some gorgeous images for her to gift to her new hubby on their wedding date!

What inspired you to do a boudoir session?: I wanted to give my future husband something extra special on our wedding day. He would never expect me to do a boudoir shoot so he is going to be so surprised once he see my album!

What made you decide to schedule your session with Julie?: I found Julie through my make up artist! I saw Kristen post a picture on her Instagram from her recent trip that she did with Julie! I saw the pictures and I was so interested to know more about Julie and her boudoir work!

What was your biggest fear in doing a boudoir session? Did it come true? What happened instead?: My biggest fear was that I would have no idea how to pose correctly and that my photos would turn out terrible because I didn’t know what I was doing. Julie is absolutely amazing and guided me every step of the way, making me feel so comfortable and confident. My photos turned out better then I would have ever been imagined and I will keep them forever.

What was your favorite part of your boudoir session?: My favorite part of my boudoir session was talking and laughing with Julie. I had a fire alarm going off the in middle of my session and she encouraged me and made me feel so comfortable the whole way through the session. She is amazing and we had or laughing during and after the session about the fire alarm!

If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?: I would say if you want a great experience and absolutely gorgeous photos, the Julie is the perfect person your you!

Fill ‘er out and let’s get you your own session!

A lot of my clients schedule a boudoir session to celebrate a special occasion. And you’ll hear me all the time say that a boudoir shoot is first and foremost FOR YOU! Even though I know we need that excuse of some special occasion to make the decision to finally book a shoot. Anniversaries are a GREAT time and it was THE perfect gift for A to gift to her partner for their 10th wedding anniversary!

What inspired you to do a boudoir session?: I’ve wanted to do it and with our 10 yr wedding anniversary coming up- I wanted to do something special and exciting for my husband. I also wanted to celebrate me

What made you decide to schedule your session with Julie?: I found Julie online and then started following her. I loved her work, the way she made every shape women look amazing. I hoped she could do the same for me.

What was your biggest fear in doing a boudoir session? Did it come true? What happened instead?: That the image in my head would not be a reality. I was afraid of not liking the outcome or being disappointed in how I looked. Every body flaw and sweating!!!! And yes sweating came true but Julie was a master at wiping it away and making me laugh.

What was your favorite part of your boudoir session?: I was nervous starting the night before. Once I arrived- it was all business and fun. The worries started melting and both Kristen and Julie were a blast to chat with. Everyone should have their makeup done at least once! Julie made the session go by so fast and it was fun. I didn’t feel embarrassed by my body or any of my outfits. One of the bra sets was chosen because my husband had made a remark that he liked it because it made me look pure and innocent! When I stepped out of the bathroom in it Julie’s face was priceless. She gasped and said you DO look innocent! At that moment I knew I had made the right choice. She is an amazing person and kind heart.

If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?: Don’t delay- just do it and stop worrying about when it’s the right time. Do it for yourself and celebrate you. Julie is professional, caring and compassionate. She will make you forget that you are in your undies in a strangers bed being photographed!

I often find myself thinking about Iceland and how magical that place is and was reminded that I still needed to post Part III of my photos from that trip with Corwin Prescott and all the fabulous models I met and worked with at this time. Such a big inspiration this was, I do plan to make more trips and shoot as often as possible. Click here for Part I and here for Part II
