Raleigh, Valentines day photos. Are you looking for a Raleigh photographer to take Valentines day photos? Do you need that gift for a special man in your life? Have you ever wanted to have some boudoir photos taken? Maybe you would like to have some photos taken just for you. I am now offering boudoir sessions to clients: a great time to start is right before Valentines Day. I’m super excited about it and the sessions are going to be so much fun. I know I have some moms out there that would just love it. Gentleman, are looking for a nice gift for your lady for Valentine’s Day? This may be just the right gift for her. As a portrait photographer I am excited to be offering Valentines day photos in Raleigh this year.
Although I have been a children’s photographer since 2004 and always will be primarily a children’s photographer, I will be adding some boudoir sessions this year for Valentines day. I asked a friend to pose for some so that I could post some samples for clients to view.
I have been following two wonderful fashion photographers for about 10 years. They are Craig Lamere and Sue Bryce. Both of these wonderful artists offer very tasteful, fashion oriented boudoir sessions to their clients. After ten years of looking at their work I have decided to add the service to my studio as well. I hope that some of the mommy’s of my tiny clients want to come in and focus on themselves for a session.
I have constructed some interesting back drops called V-Flats. They look like the corner of a wall. This gives some additional options for posing. Leaning on a wall is a very comfortable and attractive pose for you ladies. Currently I have one in rose, another in olive green and one in white. My studio is super private so you should feel very comfortable. If you are interested in booking call or email me through my contact page HERE. Make sure to include your phone number. My mini session is perfect for a boudoir session. It’s also very affordable. A mini session gives us 45 minute of studio time. After the shoot I will edit and present the best ten images to you. You will be able to pick your favorite seven from those ten.
The type of boudoir sessions I think I would like to do are fashion style boudoir. I love the look of a soft sweater draped low off the shoulders or a kimono covering lingerie. I do not have a bed in the studio but if you would like a session in the privacy of your home I can bring a simple light set up to your house.

Here are some helpful tips to get you ready for your shoot with a Raleigh photographer doing Valentines day photos
All bras should fit properly to best show your lovely shape in your photos. You want to avoid pinching of skin, bulging around a too tight strap or a strap that rises leaving red marks on your skin. It’s also important that the cup size be accurate so that there is no cap between your body and the bra. Most of these issues can be taken care of by getting a custom fitting or putting it on and looking at yourself in a mirror, all angles.
The same rule applies if you wear thigh high stockings, make sure they fit around the thigh, you do not want them so tight that you are getting unnecessary pinching or bulging of skin.
Dress in loose clothing on your way to the session so that you will not have red clothing lines from jeans, socks etc…
Make sure nails are freshly painted.
If you manicure your eye brows it’s best to do it a couple of days in advance to avoid any redness or swelling in the area. Check the eyebrows a few days in advance and see if they need to be manicured
A large/long sweater pulled down low on the shoulders is a super cute shot and great if you are shy. I also have a mink and a fox coat for a similar look.
Kimonos over lingerie are another great way to showcase your body.
Ladies look fantastic to me in jeans. Rip them up and fray them. Get a sexy bra to finish the look.
