I’ll admit, this boudoir thing is something I stumbled into.  Someone asked if I did these sessions and I said, “No, but let’s give it a try!” and then had the most fun at a shoot EVER!  Now, after doing more shoots and the demand growing, I couldn’t deny how much I enjoyed this new branch of my business. It’s different and special from any other shoot you’ll have in your life.  It’s empowering for you as a woman, and even for me as a photographer!  The feedback I get after a girl has her shoot is so exciting – they usually end up being less nervous than they thought they’d be and are super happy with the results. Whether you have a boyfriend, fiance, husband, or are happy just being single, someone is going to enjoy the images from your boudoir shoot.  What a great gift to give on your wedding day, anniversary, birthday or even to yourself in 60 years as a reminder of how gorgeous you are! Check back with the blog often for new shoots, upcoming events and maybe even some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your boudoir session!  Can't wait to share this experience with you!


Oh La La Miss S | Tallahassee Boudoir Photography

September 29th, 2010 by admin. Filed in Boudoir Sessions

Prepare yourself!  You’re about to be blown away by one of the hottest boudoir sessions I’ve done!  Miss S had some super fun outfits…including some thigh high boots!  She got engaged between booking her session and actually HAVING the session, so I think this will be the perfect engagement gift for her hubby-to-be.  You know, us ladies get a ring, the guys need something!









New Product | “Red Hot Book” Album

September 27th, 2010 by admin. Filed in Exciting News!

I wanted to keep you up to date on a new type of album that Boudoir by Kylene is now offering! If you want something a little more edgy, the “Red Hot Book” Album might be for you! With a fully customizable front and back cover and flush-mounted inside spreads, the possibilities are almost endless. You can see how much fun I had with the design on Kim’s album! Don’t worry Kim, it’ll be in the mail to you asap! Just had to show it off first!

Some of my favorite layouts:

I know the blog has been a little slow, but it’s about to pick up the pace as I have several great sessions on the books!  Don’t forget, contact me ASAP if you want to have a boudoir session done in time for the holidays.  They make great gifts, but my schedule is filling up quickly!




Behind-the-Scenes footage with Kylene!

August 18th, 2010 by admin. Filed in Exciting News!

Get ready for a sneak peek of what a shoot looks like!  If I remember, I do some video footage of me during the actual shooting and I’ve finally compiled it into a fun little video!  (I feel so silly on camera, but thought it’d be worth it so don’t make fun!) It’s also got some of the fun time with Jenn, one of the great makeup artists I get to work with, and lots of great shots and testimonials from the last year shooting boudoir!  I’d love to get a “Bash” on the calendar for later this fall, so let me know who is interested and what dates work for you!  Jacksonville, Tallahassee or Tampa, I’ve got great makeup artists in all 3 cities!

Enjoy! Thanks to all my beautiful clients for making this possible in the first place! (don’t forget to click on the little icon at bottom right of the video player for full frame!)

Mrs. K | A Military Wife

August 5th, 2010 by admin. Filed in Boudoir Sessions

I got to shoot Mrs. K’s wedding a year and a half ago….we’ve been friends for a long time.  Her husband has been deployed for awhile now and has several more months to go, so she wanted to treat him to some hot pictures of her!  I love the camo she incorporated into the shoot – personal touches like that are always the best.  The last half of her shoot it was dark outside so I didn’t have any natural window light, but we pulled out my video light and made some really cool images!  It’s always fun to add something new to the repertoire!




Miss J | Beauty at every age

August 2nd, 2010 by admin. Filed in Boudoir Sessions

I have the coolest job in the world. Not sure how else to describe it.  I have been meeting the most beautiful women through my boudoir sessions and they all continue to amaze me.  They’re all different shapes, sizes, colors, but they’re also unique and wonderful.  I got to spend an afternoon with Miss J and was blown away by her confidence and style.  She might be a few years older than my typical boudoir client, but that didn’t stop her from scheduling a shoot with me and working it like a pro!  She didn’t hesitate when I asked her if I could share her session which made me so happy, because all women deserve to have beautiful pictures of themselves and I hope Miss J proves that age doesn’t matter either.

We did some more “formal” shots and I think she looks like the owner of a big estate!  :)

Love this one that Miss J suggested…she looks like she just came home from a big party and had to kick off those high heels:
