Boudoir Photography with Miss Pretzel | Retro, Sultry, and Saucy

This summer, one of my fellow Seattle “Bees” contacted me to ask about doing a pre-wedding boudoir photography session as a gift for her hubby-to-be. I was totally psyched, having read about Mrs. Pretzel’s “Kodachrome” wedding preparation on Wedding Bee, when she told me she wanted to weave some retro glam into her boudoir photographs.

She came with a ton of sexy little outfits and great props– including some fab yellow shoes, an apron, and a videogame controller! Possibly my favorite personal touch was the little pink curl she had hiding in her hair. So cute!

Incidentally, Pretzel’s shoot was the last I photographed in our converted garage studio before we moved from our apartment into our new home. While I LOVED the “grit” of the cement walls, the whole space was 9′ by 18′ and had a lot to be desired as far as flexibility. Our new studio has lots of color (a red and purple accent wall!), plenty of natural light with gauzy curtains, the same smashing vintage brass bed, and lots of props and accessories. I’ll post some b-pics from the new space soon!

Enjoy Mrs. Pretzel’s sultry, saucy sass. She was quite the little starlet! You go girl.:)Check out a few tamer pics below, and then click to see a few more!

Black Lace & Pearls | A Boudoir Photo Teaser for Miss B

Miss B scheduled a last-minute Valentines Day boudoir session as a present for her boyfriend. We had a great time in the studio creating some images that show off how sultry she can be.

As a boudoir photographer, I love seeing clients who are initially nervous really come into their own during a photo shoot and start to let their personalities shine. Miss B was one who definitely went for it and tried some fun and challenging poses, with great results. My favorite part about boudoir sessions, though, is how gorgeous everyone looks in their photos… and especially hearing the ladies who insist they’re “not photogenic” (it’s a lie!) delight in their own real beauty. It feels good to give that gift!

Miss B, you’re a beauty. I hope your man enjoyed his Valentines Day surprise!
