Introduction: I think I come at boudoir photography a little different than most boudoir photographers. While all of my clients really are beautiful all on their own, I'm not trying to sell "beauty", I help you find your "sexy". The Seriously Sexy Boudoir experience is all about getting glammed up and having fun and laughing and dancing in your lingerie and, yes, a little bit of fantasy! While I offer three levels of retouching, 100% of my clients go for my level two, which I laughingly refer to as "smooth and perfect"! As my preferred makeup artist says, "It's you, but better." =) Your skin will be beautifully smoothed, the shadows will highlight your best features and will camouflage the things that aren't your favorite, that little bit of extra arm flab that you hate will be tucked in just enough, that tattoo that you haven't gotten around to getting removed will be history! My goal is for you to look at the final image and not know exactly what I did, but know that you ADORE the end result. =) I love watching my ladies go from crazy nervous to laughing and having a great time during their shoot. If I had a dollar for every time someone said after their shoot, "that was so much fun!" =) It's pretty much the same during the Studio Unveiling, when they see their images for the first time. They go from really nervous about what they're going to look like to being so excited and happy with the (almost) final product (as they're seeing proofs, not finished images). Then when they see the fully retouched images, they're over the moon!

I was one of the first SSB clients. I had such a wonderful experience. LW was so friendly, warm, and easy to get along with, that the whole photo session went into overtime by accident. We had so much fun, I think she shot over 600 photos that afternoon. The end product was better than I had wished for, and my husband just loved it; it was a valentines day present and wow, was he happy. I showed a few of my closest frineds, and they signed up for a session as well. And guess what...I signed up for another one too, and I can't wait!! Thanks SSB, your photos are the bomb!!

I had such a wonderful time at my session! Leila made me feel very comfortable doing something completely out of my comfort zone. The pictures are amazing! I highly recommend every woman should do this for herself, seriously. My husband is going to be completely blown away and I can't wait to give him his present =)

I had always wanted to do boudoir pictures for my husband, but felt after having kids that my body was not "up to par". Well, Leila did nothing BUT make me feel "up to par"! I did not feel the least bit uncomfortable with her. She explained what each angle was for for along with how it would look best. She also was very quick to have the proofs ready for my viewing. One day! I couldn't believe how soon I was able to see my session! When the pictures came back, I couldn't believe how beautiful she had made me look. The quality of each picture was not only impressive, but amazing. I wish I had done this years ago, but I am also glad I did it now!

Leila was so amazing for my boudoir shoot. I think everyone is a little nervous to begin with, but she makes you feel very comfortable in your skin. After leaving I was hoping I had just a few good pictures, but I literally loved every picture she took. Very professional and friendly!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I myself had a boudoir/pin-up session when my daughter was still really little. I hadn't gotten my pre-baby body back, even after 3 years, so I wasn't sure if I was ready to bare any skin! Even though I wasn't initially totally comfortable, my photographer made me feel like such a rock star during the shoot. These images are some that I treasure the most, even though I THOUGHT that I wasn't very happy with my body! Now I look back and am SO GLAD that I stepped out of my "mommy box" and did the shoot. I'll always have these images to remind me of what 27 looked like for me. =)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Be sure to get to know them a bit before your session! There's a lot of trust that goes into allowing someone to take these intimate pictures of yourself. You want to be sure that you're totally comfortable with your photographer BEFORE your session! Based on clients who've come to me after disappointing sessions with other photographers, there's nothing worse than baring so much for someone who's not totally there or isn't as interested in you as they are about their images. While I know that you don't have to worry about that with me, I invite you to schedule a consultation with me so that you can find it out for yourself. =)
