About Boudoir Photography

boudoir

Boudoir photography is the art of capturing the sensual nature of femininity. It is a celebration of a women’s beauty.

I imagine boudoir style to be a mixture of elegance, sexuality and internal beauty shining through. Boudoir photoshoots can become very therapeutic through accepting your body and celebrating its beauty.  Brides also love to order boudoir photographs to surprise their grooms on their wedding day.

Most of my boudoir photographs stay unpublished due to the privacy concerns. On this page you will find a small collection of photographs from some gorgeous ladies that felt brave enough to let me showcase some of their photographs.

ILZE’S BOUDOIR SHOOT

boudoir, portrait, wedding

I was privileged to photograph a wedding day of a beautiful couple Ilze and Tal. Ilze decided to make a special gift to her future husband and take boudoir photographs. Boudoir shoot was arranged on the wedding day in the lovely vintage Sun Room at Portland Manor, Knysna. I had to slightly crop the images to keep them more private. Take a look at gorgeous bride Ilze, celebrating her beauty ~ ♥

Highlights from a recent wedding of beautiful Ilze and Tal.

It was an amazing, fairy-like ceremony in the forest of Jubilee Creek and reception at Totties, outside Knysna. What a pleasure that was to photograph such a romantic couple, not to mention unique and creative decorations. Thank you Ilze and Tal for a wonderful experience!

DU TOIT FAMILY

Meet Du Toit Family.

This happy bunch first appeared very shy in front of my camera. But few playful tasks for boys, couple of Russian words and some encouragement helped them to open up! I find it is always easier to photograph families with kids in a very playful way. We have been crossing rivers with crocodiles, jumping from one ship to another, climbing trees and just being silly. Parents love to play along and help transform common park into a real scene of action. Thank you for such fun photoshoot, so blessed!
