Have you ever thought of giving your loved one a holiday boudoir photo? As a boudoir photographer you will be amazed at the number of clients I have photographed for their boudoir gifts for the holiday season. That’s right.
Boudoir on holidays? Yes Yes!
If you’re unfamiliar, the boudoir differs from other niches because it’s more intimate. You become more vulnerable and are forced to see yourself in ways no other photography experience can compare to.
