I get my inspiration from many places..

But when it comes to boudoir portraits my story is a bit more fun and includes first 

seeing these types of images through the vintage lens of some 1960's magazines. 

When I moved into my current house, there was an old box hidden in the shed containing timeless Playboy magazines.

Clearly hidden from view, and I had an inkling as to why. Oh how the times have changed ;)

Regardless I fell in love with the colorful, subtle notion of sexuality! 

Being so inspired, I decided to give these beautiful magazines and models a whole new life.

They are now beautifully framed and proudly displayed in my office, encouraging me as I write this blog post :) 

I wanted to share a little bit about what a boudoir session is and why I love to do boudoir sessions!

Here's a little known fact that may surprise you:

Photography featuring women in their boudoirs (French for bedroom) has been a thing for nearly 100 years.

Yep! Before quick film development, before digital cameras, before women could vote and get this: before it was even legal.

And for this reason, Jessie Rose Photos sees each and every boudoir session as a rite of passage! 

There can be so much creativity in every session.

We talk through what your comfortable with and what you hope to get out of your session;

whether that be some self appreciation, a gift for a special someone, or maybe to memorialize a certain point in your life.

I promise you, you will be blown away after seeing all the beauty and empowerment you have with in yourself!

First we will work to set the scene-

in a bedroom, at an upscale hotel room, out in the snow,

upon a rock in the river, you name it we can probably make it happen! 

We start by talking through outfit ideas, reviewing any inspiration images and sharing studio set ups you might like.

With all that in mind we set your dream into motion!

The day of your session, your nerves might be going rampant. "What am I doing? What was I thinking? What did I agree to.."

All valid thoughts, but with all of our talks before you'll know what to expect and trust me once you get started you'll forget why you were even nervous.

If you are still feeling a little apprehensive, that's completely understandable.

But nothing a little dance party to upbeat fun music or a glass of your favorite wine can't help ;)
