Julia, Chestnut Artistry & Design

I photograph the shift during a boudoir session. The “a-ha” moment. The lightbulb. I photograph those very first few moments where you are exploring the meaning of your true beauty. Those moments where you've set aside all of your titles and expectations, and spent some precious time fostering the relationship you have with yourself. I photograph you accepting and celebrating your truth and your imperfectness. I photograph you challenging yourself to be vulnerable and raw, in front of a stranger.

From the moment you sit in the makeup chair, all of our focus is 100% on you. We will connect during your glam transformation and I will ask you, what is your story? I want to know your ‘why’. What led you to do this experience, what are your desires and your fears. This experience is to help you heal yourself, challenge yourself, and provide a clear vision about your purpose.

During the boudoir shoot, I demonstrate and pose you from your fingertips to your toes, what to do with your facial expressions, help you breathe away the tension from any nerves, and adjust each stray hair or crooked ring. But most of all I will encourage you to stretch a little farther, dig a little deeper, and realize a little harder how beautiful you truly are.

You'll leave feeling undeniably beautiful and confident; two things you can use as a shield and wear like battle scars, because you paid dearly for them. You fought for them, you rose up for them, and you won.
