Outdoor Boudoir Photography… ?

Yes! Outdoor Boudoir Photography is real.

At least it is at Studio E Boudoir.

We have clients that come to us specifically to have outdoor images. (It’s not really something you can pull off at the nearest public park without some local authorities showing up.)

Our outdoor area has a high fence and a rolling gate that is large enough to get a vehicle into the area.

We use the outdoors on every session (no extra charge) and that includes all four seasons as you can see in the images.

Are you looking for a studio that can provide this? We aren’t aware of others that are able to provide this service.

Being 50!

Ms S wanted to celebrate 50 in a beautiful way, but had her doubts. Her fears were unfounded and she learned that after her session (as all clients do). The worry of working with people that you really don’t know that well or at all. The fear of “what will I look like in my images”. The fear of letting go and just enjoying a new experience.

They are all fears that are real… but later you find out it was just wasted effort and none of them came true.

● Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Studio E compare to your prior experience? This was my one and only time.

● What was your biggest reason for booking your session? Being 50.

● What was your favorite part of the session? Seeing the final photos.

● What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell us your story. I have been pushing my comfort zone and never had the courage to do it until now.

● How did you feel when you arrived and walked through the door on the day of your session? I was nervous about being almost bare in front of strangers.

● How did you feel when you left on the day of your session? I felt like “F It”. It was fun and I’m sure they have seen worse and better.

● Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different? Yes, I knew from speaking with you on the phone that it would be as comfortable as my thoughts would allow it.

● What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything? Overall it was fun! I liked shopping for outfits that I wouldn’t normally buy. All three of you were super nice, professional & helpful in every way.

● Would you recommend us to a friend? If so, do you have any friends that would like to be contacted? P.S. If they book you get a $100 print credit! I have recommended you to two friends. I have told them about everything I felt was ‘extra’, but you said ‘no problem’ to and how positive this has been from beginning to end.

● Can we tell your story as you wrote above? Yes.

● Is there anything extra you would like to tell us? Thank you!

My Experience Was Beyond Amazing!

Ms M gave herself a Birthday gift that was probably better than the previous 42. The feeling you get from your session will last, even beyond your next Birthday. Is it time to treat yourself?

Here are her answers to some questions that we sent her after experiencing her session and seeing her images:

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Studio E compare to your prior experience? Yes, I’ve done one boudoir shoot in the past. Studio E was 100% about me from the get go! Communication was superb! Eric spent a good amount of time with me on our first physical phone call and I knew choosing them was the correct choice. When I arrived the day of my session, I felt prepared thanks to the email series they send. Eric greeted me and carried my bag (heavy) in. I felt truly welcome. I won’t spoil all the details, but they were both focused on me the entire time.

What was your biggest reason for booking your session? My biggest reason for booking was to treat myself for my 43rd birthday.

What was your favorite part of the session? My favorite part of the session, (besides my awesome hair and makeup girl, Maddie), was how well Julie and Eric worked as a team.

What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell us your story. This session did wonders for my confidence level and decreased my insecurities!! I lost 200 lbs and have flabby skin and also I got sick and almost died and lost my bottom row of teeth. Somehow, Eric got me to genuinely smile and some of my favorite pictures show just that. He knows exactly how to take pictures so that your best qualities are visible. Julie’s guidance with posing was also well done.

● How did you feel when you left on the day of your session? When I left, I felt content that we covered everything I was hoping to and I had faith we captured what I was after.
Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different? Ending… my experience was beyond amazing! I had around 150 images to choose from and my goal, based off what I could afford, was way fewer. With Eric’s assistance, I was able to narrow down the amount I purchased and shockingly, I do not feel like I missed out on anything! I am 100% thrilled with my package, my selection and the quality of their work! There’s a wide range of products to choose from and well organized menus.

What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything? The entire experience has left me feeling genuinely content and more beautiful than I’ve felt in MANY years!!

Is there anything extra you would like to tell us? I appreciate you both soo much! Thank you and xoxo’s.

I Think I Smiled The Whole Way Home!

Ms K LOVED her session, which you will understand after reading her responses to our questions. One of her responses is something that most of our clients say, and that is “they wish they had done this sooner.”

Here are her answers to some questions that we sent her after experiencing her session and seeing her images:

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Studio E compare to your prior experience? No, this was my first boudoir shoot.

What was your biggest reason for booking your session? To see myself in a new way.

What was your favorite part of the session? Honestly, the whole day was my favorite. As a single mom, we don’t always make time for ourselves. I felt like the whole day was for me and I felt beautiful.

What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell us your story. The shoot helped me to look past any imperfections I may notice and see the entirety of my beauty.

● How did you feel when you arrived and walked through the door on the day of your session? Surprisingly, I wasn’t really nervous. I felt like both of you helped prepare me for what to expect. I was given great detail through your emails and it helped me prepare for the day.

● How did you feel when you left on the day of your session? When I left, I think I smiled the whole way home. I felt truly beautiful.

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different? My experience was mostly what I was expecting. However, I did not expect everything to run so seamlessly or to end up with the knockout photos that we did.

What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything? Again, the entire experience was the best part. The only thing I would have changed is doing it sooner!

Would you recommend us to a friend? I’ve been telling anyone and everyone since my shoot!

Can we tell your story as you wrote above? Absolutely!

Is there anything extra you would like to tell us? THANK YOU

WOW, this really is me!

Ms S is the mother of five. If you have kids, you know that one is a lot of work, but five is a serious commitment. She has a job that keeps her pretty active and is a runner on top of that which has her in pretty good shape… but, like many women, she couldn’t see that in the mirror.

This experience changed her perspective on the “woman in the mirror” and I think you’ll agree that, together, we created some amazing images to verify that.

Here are her answers to our questions about her session:

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Studio E compare to your prior experience?

No.

Why did you do your boudoir shoot?

To gain confidence in myself again.

What was your favorite part of the session?

Seeing myself in a new light.

What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell us your story.

This made me think of myself as beautiful just as I am and see myself differently. I love looking at my pictures and saying , WOW this really is me!

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?

Yes, it was what I expected.

What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?

Seeing my pictures, both during the photo shoot and later. No, I wouldn’t change anything.

The Pictures Came Out Pretty Hot!

Ms E made a big change in her life when it came to taking care of herself and her body. It started with joining a gym and lead to fitness competitions around the United States. This really changed her look… but she still didn’t see herself the way she would after her session with Studio E Boudoir.

She has a degree in engineering, which is a traditionally male dominated field. When you talk with her, you know that she has the confidence to hold her own in that world.

Here are her answers to our questions about her session:

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Studio E compare to your prior experience?

No.

Why did you do your boudoir shoot?

Just wanted to do something outside of my comfort zone.

What was your favorite part of the session?

Changing into all the outfits.

What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell us your story.

I just wanted to do something that showed the other side of me. The non-competition-body me and what it would look like – The pictures came out pretty hot.

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?

The experience was better than expected. The whole shoot was about me – I NEVER had that type of treatment. It was special.

What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?

I liked it all.
