What is Boudoir?

What is Boudoir?

To begin, most people have a hard time even figuring out to say the word, “boudoir”. I have a link HERE for you to hear it for yourself.

Historically, the term boudoir was used to describe a private suite a “lady” or upper-class woman would use as she pleased and/or spent with her romantic partner. Later, in the 1920's to 1940's boudoir photography hit the scene, typically shot in a luxury hotel or photographer's studio. These images typically were of a woman with implied nudity more so than explicit nudity.

What does this mean to you?

Basically, Boudoir Photography describes an intimate photograph of a woman typically, that is more elegant and sensual than an “erotic portrait”. Erotic Photography is not something I am interested in creating, however I compose beautiful Fine Art Nudes upon request.

I am available for boudoir photography all over California and the surrounding states.  Or you can come visit my home town and stay in one of our lovely bed and breakfast's or the new Sheraton Redding Hotel at the Sundial Bridge.
