Why did you want to do a boudoir photo session?
I wanted to be able to see myself as a beautiful, sexy and confident woman. Boudoir photography captures this like no other photography experience. I was also lucky enough to be chosen as the winner for the 2010 Valentines contest. My husband enjoyed these pictures as a special treat for our 15 year Anniversary which we celebrated this past June.

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?
As I was searching for boudoir photography sites on the internet, something about TAIT Photography stood above the rest. I loved Erica’s pictures on the website and blog. I also read all the positive feedback comments.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo shoot?
Before my session, I had my nails done by a professional. I also was so glad to have hair and makeup completed before the shoot. I attempted to get a little sun but not a fake tan. In addition, I purchased a variety of outfits for the shoot. Since the pictures were for my husband, I did take into consideration his favorite team jersey, and what HE might like to see. I also used the same veil from my wedding 15 years ago for some of the anniversary pictures.

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The photos are not only for myself but also for my wonderful husband. He was so thrilled to see the beautiful pictures. I was so impressed with the images and think they are amazing!! We will cherish these pictures forever.

How was your boudoir experience?
This was so exciting. I felt so comfortable during the shoot with Erica–she is really a wonderful person and photographer. I also wanted to go out and let everyone see how beautiful I felt in the inside and out. The makeup artist did a remarkable job with hair and make-up. There was no reason to be nervous at ALL.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I love all my images. It is hard to pick a favorite. I felt incredibly sexy and confident in every picture.

Do you have an interesting story about your experience?
I think many women look for boudoir as a wedding gift for their fiance/husband. I say do it for ANY reason, no special occasion is needed. As for me, I am married 15 years with 3 children that was enough of a reason to get the pictures. Do it for yourself no matter what your current role: wife, mother, fiance, or even single!

Why should other women do a boudoir photography session for themselves?
This is a confidence booster for ANY woman and something to be so proud of doing for yourself!! I only wish I would have taken the pictures sooner, or when I got married 15 years ago. It would be neat to compare images from then and now 15 years apart. I highly recommend a session with TAIT Photography!!!

I love these images of Marianne. She wore the birdcage veil and I thought these images would be perfect for a vintage inspired look.

I have a black and a white birdcage veil that I bring to all my sessions that you can use if you would like a similar look for yourself.
