Fine Art Photography in the Boudoir

By Tammy Cobb
South Carolina Fine Art Boudoir Photographer (published at 411marketsource for Professional Photographers)

copyright-wmp-0458Boudoir photography is being taken to a new level with creative lighting and posing by some of today’s most talented photographers. The day of the cheesy “put a woman in some lingerie and have her do a silly pose” are gone. Photographers are bringing back the art of boudoir. It is not about sexy as much as it is sensual art. It is tasteful and beautiful. And women all over are wanting it! Who can blame them? Women have been the object of art for centuries. We all want to be art. Beautiful art. Sensual art.

As women, we naturally are plagued with insecurities and think to ourselves that we will wait until we lose that last 15 pounds before we have portraits made. We put it off for the very reason that we need it. It will help us to see ourselves as beauty and art. If a woman is plagued by insecurities, she especially needs to do this for herself.  Besides, 15 years from now, we may think we looked might fine now. If in 15 years you look even better, have more boudoir portraits made!

copyright-wmp-9347Portraits are timeless. We spend so much money on clothing, cosmetics and anything else we can find to make ourselves look and feel beautiful. Most of which we are not still using or even have in 5 years. While boudoir art by professional photographers may be more expensive than doing it yourself or having a friend do it or even a beginning photographer, it is so worth the money and will be timeless. Timeless. How many things do we buy to make ourselves look and feel beautiful that we can say that about? You will always be able to look at this beautiful work of art and say, “That is me. I am beautiful. I am a timeless work of art.”

For a successful boudoir session, communication with the photographer is key. Find a photographer who makes you feel comfortable. It is especially important to feel comfortable with your photographer for boudoir portraits. They can be so much fun with the right photographer. View their work and see if you like their style. While many talented photographers are using creative lighting and posing, it does not mean everyone is. Let the photographer know what you want and see if it is something they do. Ask about props if you are interested in props. Props such as pearls, wine in a glass, hats, and other tasteful accessories make great props for artistic boudoir. Think about what you want to do with your portraits.

Common boudoir purchases are a hardback art book of your portraits, prints for the boudoir, and calendars. Think about this when you are setting up your boudoir session and talk with your photographer. Some of your portraits you may want to be less revealing or even use creative crops, not identifying who you are, or use creative crops just for the artistic factor. Creative crops can make an ordinary image a WOW image.  This is another reason to hire a professional photographer who has an eye for artistic angles and crops. Many photographers have the ability to do this after the shoot, but it is important to discuss with the photographer before the session about what you want. Also, if you have areas that make you feel self conscious, discuss this with the photographer. A professional photographer may be able to make clothing suggestions before the session, plus will be able to keep this in mind while posing you. You may see it as a flaw, but your photographer may be thinking you look great and even notice it unless you point it out to them.

copyright-wmp-9414-3Fine art boudoir photography will help you see yourself as the goddess you are. It can even help give a woman some of the confidence that she has been missing in her life. Be bold. Be brave. Be a timeless work of art.

Best Child Portrait 2010 Winner (February 2010 Photography Contest)

Our winner is….

YvonneNiemannYvonne Niemann of Yvonne Niemann Photography.

“I picked up a camera as a child to document the little details of the world around me and a passion for photography was born. I have been fortunate to turn that passion into a career – first as a photojournalist, then a video producer and now an infant and child photographer. I’ve always loved documenting life as it unfolds, but it wasn’t until I had my own child that it became clear what kind of images I wanted to capture for myself and others – the wonder of life. I understand the importance of those little details. A tiny hand grasping tightly to a parent’s single finger, the look of pride in a parent as they look upon their child, soft eyelashes, tiny toes, delicate ears, tears, laughter, the many gestures of curiousity, the look of amazement in a child as they notice something for the first time, michievous grins, favorite toys…Just simply life – real, relaxed, natural – one frame at a time.”

St. Louis based infant, newborn, baby and child photographer specializes in lifestyle custom portraits of babies & children at the location of your choice. Yvonne serves the St. Louis, MO area and beyond such as Ballwin; Central West End; Chesterfield; Clayton; Creve Coeur; Des Peres; Florissant; Frontenac; Kirkwood; Ladue; Lafayette Square; Lake St. Louis; Maplewood; Maryland Heights; O’Fallon; Soulard; St. Charles; St. Peters; Sunset Hills; Town and Country; University City; Webster Groves; and Wildwood. She is also available for travel and commercial work elsewhere.

About the The Collection by Wonderfully Made Designs


So many have asked about my black and whites and how I get such rich black and white conversions. I have converted in raw for years (long before it was the “in” thing)  and have always done this because of how easy it is to apply the same settings to one image instead of having to run an action on each one. So, here is my “secret recipe” for black and whites that has become my trademark. I’ve also included a few other conversions, but my personal favorite is the “film look”.  I use it for almost everything.

Here a few examples where I used it on a some snapshots in our backyard:

Collection includes:

  1. Basic Black with Vignette
  2. Basic Black without Vignette
  3. Film Look with Vignette
  4. Film Look without Vignette
  5. Mocha Black with Vignette
  6. Mocha Black without Vignette

Best Newborn Portrait 2009 Winner (November 2009 Photo Contest)

Our winner is…..

samarahutchesonSH Portraits


The very casual, relaxed and most importantly fun style of photography with SH Portraits is one that your family will embrace. Each and every one of your portraits should evoke emotion within you.  When you look at a portrait of your child I want you to remember the sound of their laugh, or why they are making the silly smile (or even the pout!)  You should always be reminded of the wrinkled, flaky skin that your newborn needs to grow into.  As a mother myself, I understand the desire to capture these precious and fleeting memories.

All photography with SH Portraits is done on location, either at your home, outdoors or other venue of your choice.  On-location photography is relaxed and more inviting atmosphere for small children, allowing them to be who they truly are.
