About Boudoir ~ Cheyenne Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir photography captures an intimate celebration of love.  It can be bold, tender, understated, vivid, and is always a wonderful experience to have.  My clients often finish our session saying they feel beautiful and that it was so much fun, even for those who were hesitant at first.

The term “boudoir” may also be ascribed to a genre of photography. Boudoir photography is not generally a new concept and numerous examples exist of early Hollywood stars such as Kathleen Meyers, Clara Bow, Mae West and Jean Harlow photographed in a boudoir style.

However there is a burgeoning modern trend for boudoir photography in some countries. Typically shot in a photographer’s studio or luxury hotel suites, it has become fashionable to create a set of sensual or sexually suggestive images of women (and occasionally men and couples) in “boudoir style”. The most common manifestation of contemporary boudoir photography is to take variations of candid and posed photographs of the subject partly clothed or in lingerie. Nudity is more often implied than explicit.

Boudoir photography maybe distinguished from other photography genres such as glamour photography, fine art nude photography and erotic photography. According to research carried out in Digital Boudoir Photography (2006), John G. Blair said that the word “Boudoir” or “Boudoir portrait” was used in 1980 by Motherlode Photography Studio in California to describe a picture more elegant than “erotic portrait” or “semi nude portrait”.

Boudoir photography is alluring and sensual and proud of the fact. It’s a genre of photography that enables women to express inner and outer beauty.
