Last month I “made up” a beautiful young lady who wanted to surprise her soon-to-be husband with a Boudoir photo shoot!

The photographer from this shoot is Sofiya Gendelman of Lil’ One Photography. Sofiya specializes in baby, maternity, and family photos. You can visit her website HERE to learn more about Sofiya and Lil’ One Photography, and to view her extensive portfolio.

a little background info on Boudoir pictures:

• it’s pronounced BOO-DWAAWR
• a French word translated as a woman’s bedroom
• Boudoir shoots usually take place in an intimate setting to create sexy, romantic, even naughty images

I had such a fun time at this shoot, chatting with my lovely client, and Sofiya. They’re both very sweet girls, and Sofiya is a great person to work with! This woman is FULL of ideas.

Anyways, here are the 2 versions of 50’s/Marilyn Monroe inspired look I created. 

If you’d like a tutorial, I’d be happy to write one up for you. Just let me know in the comments!
