It’s More Than Just Photos: It’s My Journey into Confidence-Building Boudoir Photography
Yup, it’s me, Cody! Glad you’re here. Below you’ll see the incredible journey Boudoir Photography has taken me on, and you’ll learn why it’s what drives my motivation to be the best at what I do.
Embracing Boudoir and Finding Purpose
Have you ever considered a boudoir session but felt hesitant, or unsure of what to expect? You’re not alone, and I know the feeling personally.
Boudoir photography wasn’t something I initially imagined myself doing… until I saw its impact on someone very close to me; My journey into boudoir began with hesitation (and a ton of anxiety), but I quickly discovered how transformative, empowering, and confidence-boosting these experiences could be… not only for my clients but for me as well.
So trust me, I get it…
You may feel hesitant or unsure about booking a boudoir session. I was hesitant about stepping into the world of boudoir photography.
I thought “Nah, that’s not for me.”
But now? I’m completely captivated by it! What started as something I didn’t fully understand (and even feared a little) has become a real passion of mine.
Discovering the Power of Boudoir Through a Close Friend
In the beginning, I was just a friend with a camera. One day, a close friend of mine came to me, seeking a confidence boost through boudoir photography. She had recently seen a TikTok about using a boudoir photo session as a way to rediscover self-love and embrace beauty, and she wanted to try it.
At first, I was unsure if I could create the safe, empowering experience she deserved, especially as a male photographer…
But she trusted me, and I knew I had to put my all into her session by creating something meaningful for her!
Within minutes of starting that session, I saw a change in her—a glow of confidence that felt almost tangible.
The powerful connection she felt with herself at that moment made me realize that boudoir was more than just a sexy photoshoot.
It was a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and reclaiming beauty in a deeply personal way.
Witnessing her transformation showed me the potential of boudoir to empower, heal, and help us see ourselves through a different lens. From that moment on, I knew that boudoir photography was where I wanted to dedicate my time, skill, and heart.
Crafting a Transformative Boudoir Experience
Since that day, I’ve committed myself to offering a boudoir experience that goes beyond beautiful photos.
My approach centers on creating a safe, comfortable, luxurious environment that celebrates every stage, every shape, and every journey.
I know firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and supported, and I make it my priority to personalize each session to the individual.
What can you expect from me?
Before you’re officially booked for your session, we’ll start with a personalized consultation (over the phone), where I’ll answer any questions and give you a detailed rundown of what the experience will be like.
As your session nears, you’ll receive a carefully curated guide covering everything from outfit ideas to what you can expect on the day of the shoot.
I work with professional hair and makeup artists who not only make you look your best but also bring comfort by connecting with you through their own boudoir experiences.
I book an Airbnb for all sessions to ensure each space is private, comfortable, and intimate, allowing you to feel at ease as we create art together. You’re also welcome to bring a friend to your session for support if that makes you feel more comfortable!
After your session, we meet for one last time for your official photo reveal! This is when you’ll select and purchase your photos and albums/prints.
My goal is to create a transformative boudoir experience that is both luxurious and focused entirely on you.
My Style:
Dark, Moody, and Authentic
Over time, I’ve refined a style that feels unique to me and, I hope, special to those who choose to work with me.
My approach to boudoir is dark and moody with vibrant colors and fine-art details that make every photo feel striking and alive.
My style is about capturing the bold, beautiful essence of every person, embracing subtle elements of bound elegance while staying away from anything that feels like erotica.
It’s about creating images that feel powerful, timeless, and unapologetically you.
Why Boudoir?
It’s a Celebration of Self!
Boudoir has become a way to honor every aspect of oneself—every curve, every line, and every chapter of one's story.
Whether you’re marking a significant milestone, reclaiming confidence, or simply taking a moment to celebrate yourself, boudoir photography can help you see yourself in a new light.
If you’re still NOT sold on why Boudoir is so important, then check out my blog:
As a boudoir photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients who have overcome personal challenges, who have doubted themselves and their beauty, and who have found, through my sessions, a renewed sense of self-worth.
Boudoir isn’t just for a select few; it’s for everyone.
It’s for those who have been told they’re beautiful but have never quite believed it. It’s for those who’ve been through life’s hardest moments and come out stronger. It’s for those who want to celebrate where they are right now, with no conditions.
Let’s Create Art That’s Unapologetically You!
Ultimately, my mission is to guide you on a journey of self-discovery through boudoir. I want you to leave feeling seen, celebrated, and empowered, with timeless images that capture the beauty and strength within you.
When you step into a session with me, it’s not about conforming to a specific look or idea; it’s about embracing what makes you, you.
