If you've never done a boudoir session before, you probably have a lot of questions about what the experience entails. You might be asking:

• Is a boudoir session right for me?
• What if I don't know how to pose?
• I feel awkward in front of the camera. How can I get over that?

Or if you did one in the past and you ended up feeling like your images didn't really feel like YOU...

Then my boudoir planning guide is perfect for you — even if you don't choose me as your photographer!

I'm a top-rated Bay Area boudoir photographer who has shot hundreds of sessions since 2015, and I have developed an incredibly personalized approach to creating boudoir images. I work closely with my clients to find out their ideas and preferences so that about as soon as they step in front of the camera, we're getting images that make them say, "Wow, that's me!"

I've gotten so many questions over the years about my approach that I sat down and created my comprehensive guide, "Planning Your Unique Boudoir Experience." (In addition to being a photographer, I'm also an established art director and a writer, so it was a lot of fun to put this together!)

In my clear, easy-to-read guide — completely updated and revised for 2023 — I take you step by step through my approach. I de-mystify boudoir, giving you tips and ideas to make your boudoir session all yours.
