Boudoir is not a dirty word!

Now I am not saying share your images with the world.  In fact I am going to share my opinion with you that suggests the complete opposite, but I want you to at least open your mind to what my definition of Boudoir is.  Being raised in a Southern Baptist Church, i have really struggled with the idea that boudoir photography might be wrong, but I have searched the word and spent time praying, and have realized that in the right connotation, it can be very glorifying to the Lord.   I know that many will not have this same conviction and that is okay, but for those who it might help I want you to know what i believe.

I feel that a woman having a boudoir session is not wrong.  I feel like where the wrong comes in is in how she uses her images or how i use them.  I do believe that men are made to be visual and they are more engaged by sight than women.  I believe that there is enough out there for men to look at that pulls their hearts and minds away from their wives and the Lord and I dont want to create more of that.   I do not post boudoir images for that very reason.  They should be private, they should be personal, and they shouldnt be shared.  This is why i choose to call my boudoir sessions “For His Eyes Only”  sessions. I do shoot glamour images with every boudior session because i believe that every woman should have a beautiful portrait of herself that she can share with others.  I believe and have been told that my style of boudoir photography is very modest, but I have also heard ladies who have had sessions, tell me that their husbands loved the ones where they were wearing more, and not less.  The images are more sensual than sexy,


I love Jesus with all my heart.  I love my husband. and i know I am not alone in this.
Boudoir is about confidence
Boudoir is about Reigniting of a marriage
Boudoir is about Loving yourself the way the Lord made you.
Boudoir is about strengthening marriages.
Boudoir is not Pornography- (unless the woman uses it the wrong way)
Boudoir is not a sin – ( unless the woman chooses to give the images to someone else)
Boudoir is not about nudity- (in fact the women are usually more covered than they are at the beach)
Boudoir is about Seeing yourself the way that He sees you and giving him something to keep his heart guarded in your marriage.


I do not believe  that intimacy between a married man and woman is perverse, I believe it was created to be a beautiful and perfect thing, however sin entered the world and that is why as Christians we believe its such a taboo subject.  Gods perfect plan included no clothes, Adam and Eve were not even aware of their nakedness until sin entered the world and their eyes were opened.  I am not saying that nudity is right, but I am saying that in Gods concept of marriage, we should not have anxiety about who he has created us to be.


I want to help Christian Women — Wives and Moms especially those who struggle with self image issues, emotional and marriage struggles, and no time for themselves, to see themselves in the way that He ( God and their husbands) see them.
I want to build an experience that helps women to see who they really are in Gods eyes, to pray for each woman, to  provide her with an experience of a day out just for herself, and provide her with images for her and her husband.
I have seen the Lord use this type of session reignite a spark in marriages, help to keep a husbands eyes from wandering, to build a woman’s confidence in how he created her and also to give a tired weary wife and mom time to do something nice for herself.


I have had women sit on my couch and cry when they saw their images and say is that really me, and I felt so blessed for the Lord to have used me in that way .

I in no way believe I do this but truly have seen the Lord work through me. I really want to devote my life to serving him in this way. In a way that honors him. I truly believe the Lord can use this passion i have to help women in our churches to see themselves the way he created their husband to see them…

Women in the church carry just as much anxiety about their body image, as well as emotional turmoil from past relationships and broken homes and because of that they  don’t see themselves as beautiful and as created in God’s image. With divorce, infidelity, and pornography viewing rates almost as high in the church as they are in the secular world i really feel there is a need for a wife to have a way to visually share herself with her husband, especially when one or both may be traveling and are away from each other.  Is it not glorifying to the Lord that he would guard his heart from lust , that he  would look at images of his wife and not someone else?

I have sought Godly council and have heard the spectrum of answers, and biblical scripture to back up their statements, but this is my definition of boudoir and i am excited to see how the Lord will use me to bless the lives of others through him.
