Bend Oregon Outdoor Boudoir Photography

Hello! I wanted to introduce myself as I'm providing Boudoir photography with my business here in Bend, Oregon.

This is me! I’m 49… I’m a mother of 3, a grandma, a wife, a photographer, an artist, a sensitive and free-spirited soul.

And I realized that to provide this beautiful yet very intimate and vulnerable photography, I should be willing to get in front of the camera just the same, right???

I entirely understand the scary part of being in front of the lens in a vulnerable way with Boudoir photography, especially if you feel that you have imperfections and insecurities about your body

I've always been incredibly insecure about my body, the baby weight, fat, stretch marks never went away after birthing three humans. The insanely large chest I’ve ALWAYS done everything I can to cover up since I was 19 years old.

However, through the years especially pushing 50… I’m finally learning to love and appreciate my body as it is. I think Boudoir photography is such a beautiful way of helping us as “women” to love ourselves as we are.

When I look at myself in this Boudoir self-portrait, I’m empowered to appreciate the beauty in the wrinkles, for they remind me of the life experiences, good and bad, that have brought me “wisdom.” Beauty in my stretch marks as I would not have three precious children without them. To appreciate the life I’ve been given and find beauty in who I am, as I am. We, as women, need to love and appreciate ourselves more.

I hope that when you book your Boudoir session with me, you walk away feeling empowered as well. I hope that when you look at your images, you too ….will love yourself more. Just know you are not alone in your feelings! I got you!

Going with a “themed” boudoir shoot is fun and a great way to show your personality. Or to honor those that you plan to gift the images.

I chose the outdoors because that’s my happy place. It’s where I prefer to shoot. And lately, I’ve been inspired by the desert. So I chose to go out to the Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon. I went with a rustic theme because I love a good hat, boots, and I’m all about a Pendleton blanket. I chose to have my camera gear in the shots for props because of DAH… it’s been my life for 20 years. So I incorporated my camera, straps, and camera bag.

If you follow me, you’ll know that black and white images are my favorite above all else. So I stayed true to all things black and white.

I also feel most comfortable in black clothing and wear it 90% of the time. So I chose a black lace robe and panties. I think lace is stunning, timeless, and never disappoints.
I’m a conservative person in general, so I wasn't parparticulary eager to show off too much skin; these images fit my personality and comfort zone perfectly.

I appreciate boudoir photography because you can be conservative and covered, fully nude, or a little of both. It’s all beautiful when done tastefully. The images should fit your personality and comfort zone.

These images accurately represent who I am in general and what I love.

The ideas of a themed Boudoir session are endless. But having your photos captured in nature opens up so many possibilities!

This was fun, especially at my age… 3 grown adult children later; so much life experience and imperfections to get out there at my age and do this was super liberating.

I’m glad I did it and that I have these photos to look back on… and remember being out in the desert half-naked with my cameras starting a new journey after 20 years in business as a wedding photographer…it’s exciting; to push my boundaries, inspiring, and fun! Like I mentioned earlier… I’m 49, ladies… if I can do it, so can you.
