White Sheet Boudoir | Phoenix Lingerie Photographer

Contrary to the chaos that is my life, I am a bit of a minimalist when it comes to shooting boudoir. White sheet boudoir photography is hands down one of my favorite styles to photograph! It is -

simple, elegant, intimate, timeless, and more importantly - all about her. 

I had the pleasure of working with Miss K for her bridal boudoir portraits last year and was so excited to meet with her again! I mean, how did I get so lucky to have such amazing clients? Miss K has a charismatic essence about her - sophisticated, confident, and courageous with the perfect blend of playfulness and poise to make every pose look seamless. We photographed on a Sunday afternoon, and the light peaking into the studio complimented her curves and skin in the most intimate and organic way.  I just adored photographing her and I could not be happier that she was willing to allow me to share her boudoir photos. 

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Boudoir & All that Sexy Stuff | Phoenix Boudoir Photographer

At The Bella Jade Collection we don't try to define sexy. We don't have a to-do list on how to get sexier for your boudoir pictures. And we certainly do not decide for you what you have to wear to be sexy. That's not us - and we are proud of it. Why?

Our boudoir clients re-define sexy everyday by breaking through to their true selves and embracing who they are in their own skin.

Of course I will provide my expert advice to help you feel more confident and comfortable during your session. I want you to look great, feel great, and walk away with the most captivating portraits of yourself you've ever seen. But, I also want you to be yourself, have fun, and re-discover what makes you uniquely beautiful! Otherwise to me all of that stuff (the lingerie, the make-up, the lashes, the lush hair, and that one photo where you looked like a model straight out of a magazine!) is just, well, stuff. 

I believe that whether you are doing this for yourself or for a significant other, a boudoir session is an investment in you! So, why shouldn't it be about you and celebrate all of the wonderful things that make you uniquely beautiful? Why does it just have to be about (you know) the "sexy" stuff. We take a different approach here at our phoenix boudoir studio, and want you to know that YOU are what makes boudoir the hottest and sexiest gift EVER! And, you are going to rock it by simply by being you and trusting your boudoir photographer to worry about all that other stuff.

I know, I know. I make all of this sound SO simple and I do understand that taking the leap and booking your boudoir photographer takes a bit of courage. I want my clients to know that having it all figured out prior to your boudoir photo-shoot is NOT a requirement. Before you go scouring the web with anxiety and jotting down notes on how to be sexy or memorizing hundreds of boudoir poses stop for a moment and remember that seriously

-the sexiest thing you can do is be yourself! 

What better way to encourage this type of attitude than to SHOW you what I mean with photos of real women who have braved the boudoir and rocked it just by being themselves and embracing their bodies and personalities to the core! 

Miss K. was a welcomed guest at one of our boudoir parties and I am excited to be able to share her images not just because she looks fabulous but  because she also ranks among the many who are not quite sure about this whole boudoir thing.

She was not ashamed to admit that she wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for being invited by a dear friend - a blow to the heart of a passionate boudoir photographer, but also the truth for most women out there. And, even though those words are never my absolute fave - I also knew right then I adored her, because her honesty and willingness to try something new is what I admire most about my clients. And this was my chance to show her how amazing a boudoir experience can be and give her something she will never forget.

I had to know more ( because I really did want her to feel comfortable) and as we talked about her skepticism about this whole boudoir thing, and how humorous some of the preparation lists they all had found on the internet seemed, I had to give it a bit of a laugh myself. But you guys I cant stress enough that at the end of the day, the best way to prepare is to just have a sit down with yourself  and figure out what YOU want and what is going to make YOU feel good about yourself. It didn't take Miss K very long to break through to the real her, and exude her own kind of sexy and we LOVE that here ar our Phoenix boudoir studio. Yes, the "stuff" and preparation will always be importrant, but not as important as

breaking through to the real you, and seeing yourself as unapologetically beautiful.

Feel As Sexy as You Are | Phoenix Arizona Boudoir Photographer

I knew I loved boudoir after my very first go around behind the camera capturing intimate portraits of a friend. Yes I know, super wierd right!? Well, it wasn't really. Once we got going the game changed. I wasn't just taking photos of a friend in her lingerie. We were creating engaging works of art and tapping into something that can only be realized by stepping a little bit outside of your comfort zone. 

That moment where you finally feel as sexy as you are - and believe it with every inch of your body!

That moment when you look at your boudoir photos for the very first time and realize that all of the

perfecting,

stressing,

and hiding behind your comfort zone

was only hindering your own ability to love yourself unconditionally. YOU ARE sexy just the way you are right now. Sure, you probably have a few things about your body you'd like to change but let me tell you-

the best gift a woman could EVER give herself is the gift of confidence! 

If I can help do that for even just one woman - that is by far the greatest reward of being a boudoir photographer.

For Miss A this experience was a reminder that there is nothing wrong with practicing self love! 

Miss A was an amazing woman to photograph, and I am grateful to share her story. She works in an industry primarily of males where she sometimes feels she has to be a little more thick skinned, and rarely has an opportunity to show off her sexy side! For her session we had very little time to get the right shot, but she was not going to let that stop her from making the most out of her boudoir experience. She seriously blew me away with her energy and that made everything fall right into place. 

Miss A. had her make-up done right here at the studio, and we went through the wardrobe she brought together, We would have time for just one outfit so it was even more important to choose just the right one - which was super hard ( women are crazy indecisive, so I'm sure you can imagine). Between the three of us we were able to put together

a piece that was unique to her, that she felt sexy in, and that would bring out her INNER VIXEN! .... Score!

She even brought in her own ideas for a final epic pose - thinking back to a canvas she had seen of an important women in her life as a child. Miss A KNEW she had to have one herself - at least one day! Not because we all are just dreaming of the day we get to hang a life-sized sensual portrait of ourselves over the mantel before Thanksgiving dinner (as if!). But.

because it gave her a SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT

and something to aspire to. She remembered looking at this image and thinking "what a strong and powerful woman". When you exude that kind of emotion, it is contagious. And Amber desires to feel empowered, confident and that kind of energy creates beautiful, authentic, and powerful imagery.

The result - was jaw dropping! Here are some of her best shots from Miss A's boudoir session at our phoenix boudoir studio.

Celebrating Sexy with Amber B. | Phoenix Boudoir Photography

Oh Em Gee you guys! Amber is crushing it and I am so excited she was gracious enough to allow me to share these boudoir photos with you! 

I first met Amber way back in the day (ok, so it was spring 2016 but it feels like forever) when I was just laying the vinyl letters on the door of the portrait studio - the defining moment of finally making this boudoir thing official in the sunshine valley of Phoenix! Let me tell you...

She was just as stunning then as she is now - And her confidence is smoking hot!

I totally fan-girl over anyone who has the guts to share their story and empower others. Amber is goal crushing you guys. From "I'm not sure who's skin I am in" to "everyone should feel this good in their own body," she found that something that gets her motivated and that inspires her to stop waiting stop making excuses and made a conscious decision to begin loving herself NOW and each and everyday after! Not just for herself, but she is spreading the love and transforming lives of others through her journey as an Herbalife coach. Dig that!

So this session was a celebration - of transformations, new beginnings, the power of self-love, and simply feeling sexy just the way you are right now! I am always telling my clients feeling nervous before a session no matter what your comfort level is normal. But even I have to admit that she makes boudoir look effortless. It is undeniable that these photos go to show just how far treating your body and practicing self love can go. Sometimes you just gotta let go and let your inner vixen take the stage. And that my friend, is just what she did. Confidence IS sexy!

I mean, CRUSHING IT!
