BOUDOIR BY KADEE

There’s something really special about photographing a woman during pregnancy. Not just because of how beautiful it is—but because of everything her body is doing in that moment. This client didn’t book her session because she felt “perfect.” She booked it because she wanted to celebrate the journey . She told me she wanted to embrace everything her body was going through, to do something for herself, and yes… also have a little fun surprising her husband later. 😉 But like most women, the nerves showed up before she ever walked through the door. She had no idea what to expect. Didn’t know how it would feel. Wasn’t sure what she was walking into. And then she got to the studio and had that moment so many women have: “Damn… I’m really about to do this.” But here’s the thing >>> those nerves didn’t last long. Between chatting, getting pampered with hair and makeup, and just settling into the space, everything started to shift. The energy in the studio was fun, support...

Sometimes it takes seeing someone else do it to finally take the leap. That’s exactly what happened with this badass client. She’d been curious about boudoir for a while—thinking about it, reading about it—but hadn’t actually booked. Then her best friend did a session, and she thought, “Okay, I can do this too.” Bonus: she already knew me a little and I’m close to home, so Boudoir by Kadee was the obvious choice. Leading up to the shoot, the nerves were real. She didn’t know what to wear, what to expect, or even what she wanted. But once she picked out a few outfits, her excitement kicked in, and by the time she walked into the studio, she was ready to go. This is a sneak peek from her first session: When she arrived, a little anxiety lingered—but it disappeared fast. Other women were shooting, her best friend was there, music was playing, and suddenly it felt fun, relaxed, and easy . The standout moment? She came in thinking this would be a simple, safe, demure shoot. Then, before s...

Some women book a boudoir session once. Others come back again… and again… because once you experience a session with me, you realize it’s about so much more than just photos. This gorgeous client has now shot with me three times over the past four years , and every time we’ve created something a little different. But this session? This one was special. She came in with a vision I hadn’t done very often in boudoir: a blue-collar, lineman-inspired theme . Tough. Sexy. A little gritty. Something different from the typical lingerie look. Plus we were shooting outside!!! She told me it was hard to find inspiration photos for the idea, which meant we were going to be creating something completely unique together. But she also walked into the session feeling confident because by this point, she trusted my process. When she arrived at the studio in her comfy button-up and sweats, the vibe was exactly how it always is for an event session >>> relaxed, welcoming, and just a little bit...
