My Tucson Boudoir Photography began when I began my photography journey. It is more than boudoir – it’s Real Women Photography. And it is a long-standing joy of mine. I believe it empowers women, but also, as a happy byproduct, creates a gift they can give to a significant other or to themselves.
I have a dedicated photography site for Real Women – because it needed its own place to shine! So go ahead – take a peek. Or read on for a little bit more about the Boudoir and what it means to me. And remember, what you see is only the beginning.
This image above was the very first boudoir session I ever captured, somewhere around 2007 / 2008. And ironically, even though this happened in Dayton, Ohio, she now lives in Sedona, and I was able to connect with her last summer and give her a great big hug. We talked about the impact of this session on both of us and the ripple effects that it has had since then.
Fast forward to today – the Tucson boudoir sessions are going strong in my home studio, and I am still loving it. I am working with women of every age and life stage, from brides-to-be to women going through breast cancer, both pre-mastectomy and post-reconstruction. It’s an incredible journey.
Every woman has a story. And it’s not my job (at least not right here and not right now) to tell you that story. But I can show you a part of the journey. Real Women isn’t just about sexy. It’s about self-image. It’s about whatever it takes to make you feel, see, remember, and celebrate how beautiful you are. Because you are. And I can show you.
Real Women is photography for women. Women who are already confident in their beauty. Women who want to become more confident in their beauty. Women of all ages, creeds, colors, weights, and heights. Real Women photography sessions are designed for every woman in a comfortable and secure environment. Real Women wear anything. Everything. Nothing. Whether it’s a favorite dress, best jeans and boots, lingerie, whatever…the point is ultimate comfort and ultimate creativity.
Some of the women I have worked with have been truly amazed by the results – not just the photographs but the companion feelings of freedom and maybe even elation that accompany these sessions. Some words: “I can’t believe that’s me!”; “Not bad for a mother of two!”; “this has been a liberating experience”; “this experience has really helped her confidence – it’s been a metamorphosis – I almost don’t recognize her!” – these are just some of the words from the mouths of women who have experienced these sessions.
If you’re interested in learning more, visit The Real Women Website (I’ve separated the images from my primary website for privacy). The most important thing you need to know is that this – Real Women is way more than boudoir photography. This is about women – about YOU – about finding the beauty that exists in each of you and bringing it out with the camera, creative lighting and maybe a little bit of wine : ) And while certainly these images make great gifts for the significant other in your life – any time of the year – this really should be a gift for yourself…a gift of self esteem, a gift of freedom to be beautiful just as you are. There’s no better time than now.
And no worries – your photo won’t end up on my blog, Facebook, or website unless you want to be there. I never publicly display the Real Women images unless I have full disclosure from each woman, who selects the images that can be shown, if any. So yes, for every woman you see here, there are 2 you don’t. But your privacy and your experience are the point. So if you’re considering being a Real Woman and you want to talk to me about it, get more information about it, talk to one of the ladies who have done sessions with me – definitely give me a call (610-662-1823).
