Boudoir photography doesn’t necessarily have to be in a bedroom as the name suggests – it really can take place anywhere!
Recently, tobeadored was featured on Boudoir Photography Network for shooting in the Great Outdoors – a local San Francisco Bay Area shoot – using the gorgeous local evening light. As a couple originating from England, we can really appreciate the beautiful light here in California.
Our client had requested an outdoor session, which turned out perfectly as we captured her in the “golden hour” of the evening. The gorgeous light made her skin absolutely glow – the long grasses were a rippling sea of gold.
We chose a location that was fairly remote (a women in a basque is something you don’t see every day when walking your dog!) and had a mixture of old buildings and interesting backgrounds – perfect for one of the looks our model was looking for – of cowboy hat and boots.
So we suggest not to restrict your boudoir session to the bedroom – welcome the beautiful, flattering evening light and embrace the great outdoors!
We’re so excited Jeannie and John have chosen us to photograph their beach wedding in Santa Cruz – but when they said they wanted engagement pictures with their motorcycles in a graveyard, we were ecstatic! This was definitely going to be a shoot for the “something different” section on our engagement folios page!
We met them and their gleaming bikes – Beauty and Wraith – and spent a couple of hours capturing moody shots. They may look quite menacing, but they actually spent a lot of the time kissing and canoodling (sorry guys!) – very romantic.
Particularly like the shot where the sun is just catching the angel looking down on them…
After a quick change we chased the sun to Half Moon Bay for sunset – alas, it was cold, windy and gray, but we managed to capture some more romantic moments between them.
Looking forward to being at the beach wedding later this year!
Slideshow from this shoot can be found on YouTube!
This well-traveled couple were visiting from Maryland to see family over the Thanksgiving weekend.
It was a pleasure to meet up with them in Palo Alto. After the bustle of downtown (and the brilliant balloon man!) we escaped to the tranquility of Stanford University for some super romantic shots.
Thanks to Mary Phan, wedding planner of Very Merry Events for setting this up, and thanks to Sade and Brent for being such great fun!
