Embarking on a couples boudoir session is a daring yet intimate choice to capture the unique essence of your love. As a couples boudoir photographer, I offer seven key tips for a memorable experience. Prioritize open communication with your partner to establish comfort and expectations. Thoughtfully select wardrobe choices that complement each other and enhance your confidence. Embrace authenticity, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally. Consider the setting, lighting, and ambiance to set the desired mood. Trust your photographer, relax, and enjoy the process. Personalize the session with sentimental items, ensuring your love story is beautifully and authentically captured.

So, we embarked on a mission to capture their essence in a way that truly resonated with them.
I met up with A + J at Gooseberry Falls to start off their engagement session. After that, we headed to the majestic cliffs of Palisade Head, the black beach, and we ended at Split Rock lighthouse for some astrophotography. Being gay myself, it was a delight to shoot this LGBTQ+ couple!
It was a misty and blustery day on Minnesota’s north shore when I met up with T + M for their engagement session. As a photographer, I always look forward to capturing genuine moments and emotions, and I knew this I’d be able to create some serious magic with this moody and alternative couple.
We decided to start the shoot at Gooseberry Falls, a breathtaking location just north of Duluth. The sound of rushing water and the scent of nature’s freshness filled the air as we made our way to the stunning waterfalls. It was a sight to behold as T + M splashed around in the crystal-clear water, their laughter echoing against the rocky walls. The gentle mist enveloped them, giving the photos an ethereal touch. I couldn’t help but feel inspired by the raw and authentic love they shared as they joyfully splashed each other.
I just had to tell you about this amazing experience I had recently as a photographer. So, picture this – the day after this couple’s epic all-day elopement adventure in The Black Hills and Badlands National Park, we decided to take things up a notch and meet at their cozy Airbnb for a steamy and intimate couples boudoir session. It was like something out of a movie!
When S reached out to me, she expressed her deep desire to have their love story immortalized against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Northwest.

The plan was to start our adventure in Smith River, California, where they had booked a delightful Airbnb.
