Boudoir

Did you know that only 2 percent of women shown in the media are plus size, leaving the MAJORITY of women in this country (with a size 16 average) feeling like their curvy bodies somehow make them less attractive or less worthy of attention than women with smaller bodies? And although the fashion industry and media HAVE made some positive strides towards being more size-inclusive, this can sometimes be a skewed representation, as the majority of plus size models have perfectly proportional hourglass figures. In fact, the models...

Dark & Moody Boudoir Style If you are mostly drawn towards dark-colored lingerie/wardrobe styles and boudoir photos that could be described as “edgy,” “domineering,” “seductive,” or “sultry,” then chances are good that you have a more dark & moody aesthetic. While we are able to achieve this type of “look” in each of the seven individual boudoir sets located within The Adore Girls’ two-story, 3100 sq-ft studio, the two sets where this low key type of lighting style is utilized the most are on the sets we call...

Many years ago, only minutes into her first-ever boudoir session, we had a very excited Adore Girl exclaim, “Wow…this isn’t sexy at all. This is fun!” That comment has remained one of our all-time faves because we feel it perfectly summarizes what a boudoir session with The Adore Girls is really like! When you look through our Gallery of gorgeous boudoir photographs, you could easily presume that a professional photo shoot is a serious event, and that all of our clients must have somehow been in a very...

We understand that you are probably going to be nervous on the day of your photo shoot, and that is totally understandable. After all, you are going to be showing up to a place you’ve never been before and allowing a virtual stranger to photograph you wearing lingerie! So, we get it whenever a client asks if they can bring a friend or family member for moral support during their photo shoot, but there are a couple of reasons why we strongly prefer that you come to your...

Then, around 2010, a shift towards the use of natural light for Boudoir Photography started to occur, and photographers also began to experiment with photographing boudoir sessions on-location, typically within their clients’ homes or a rented hotel room. The combination of natural light and a more natural setting created a much more intimate, realistic “look” for boudoir photos, which completely changed the industry, including how boudoir photos were edited. A “perfectly polished” edit no longer matched the more true-to-life boudoir imagery that was being created. Coincidentally, around this...

First, a phone consultation with Jamie Pfister (owner/photographer) is required before all couples’ boudoir sessions to ensure that everyone is on the same page about what to expect and to make sure the couple understands our studio’s policies regarding couples’ photo shoots. (For example, men are required to wear underwear at ALL TIMES during the photo session.) On the day of the photo shoot, we will begin by looking through the wardrobe options you both brought in and discuss which outfits we think will look best on our...

Miss A has now had 5 sessions with FF! Her most recent session in Paris, France was such a dream. We love that she brought fresh florals to incorporate into her shoot, which then served as the inspiration for our featured series, Efflorescence! The images we created together will forever be some of the most treasured in my portfolio. If you are considering a boudoir session in Paris with FF this June and would like to incorporate fresh flowers, let us know and we will point you in...

I’ve always made the conscious decision that I wanted to keep my work classy. You’ve probably noticed that even the fine art nude and implied nude photos in my portfolio I usually have Mrs. puss puss hidden in shadow or something. You see this a lot in renaissance paintings where the naughty bits are covered with a sheet or whatever to maintain that tasteful fine art feel. I try to make my photos more about the curves of your body, your connection with the viewer and the pose....

4. What was your 3 favorite things about your Southern Belles Experience? 1). I love how comfortable y’all made me feel right from the beginning. I never felt awkward or uncomfortable, which is obviously so important when you’re putting yourself in what could be a vulnerable situation. 2). I love that you include hair and makeup as part of the process! It’s one less thing to worry about/stress over before the shoot, and what girl doesn’t love to get all glammed up before she has professional photos taken?...

Come Hither Looks Now that we understand that confidence comes from the eyes, its important to show how approachability can manifest from the cues of the mouth. When we pair cues from your mouth with the cues of your eyes we can create a complete facial cluster. To put this into context you can nail the cue with your eyes but fail with your mouth and have cluster come across as bitchy. Not ideal… For boudoir I’m personally not a fan of the full on smile a lot...
