I feel so blessed to be looking at you'Cause when you open your eyesI feel alive- Maternity Couples Boudoir- nine19 photography Raleigh NC
Clients are always trying to figure out a wonderful way to celebrate their pregnancy! I personally believe that maternity boudoir is a great way to love on yourself and your bump! Your body goes through such a change, one that you may only experience once, so why not capture it in all of its perfection? Maybe even take it up a notch and invite your partner to join!
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned- Empowerment Boudoir- Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
There is something to be said about being unapologetically yourself! Showing up open, vulnerable, and as you are is so important to boudoir. If you can show up as an honest version of you, then you can reach a level of self love that you never imagined in such a short period of time. Of course this can be scary, but you have to trust yourself, your instincts, and the person you have chosen to guide you on your boudoir journey!
Women of Color and Boudoir: Why We are Worth It- Self Empowerment Boudoir- Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
Boudoir... I found myself repeating the word over and over again as if the definition in Websters Dictionary was going to change. I couldn't believe that I was about to do a BOUDOIR photoshoot. I felt a wave of emotions! I immediately thought to myself, "what would people say? Maybe I should hit the gym a few extra times this week... What would my mother say?!" I was nervous and excited but boudoir just felt like a "dirty" word. I researched the definition, "a French word meaning a lady's private dressing room or bedroom." Is that why it felt so dirty? Was it the word 'private' dressing room or bedroom that made it feel so risqué? Yet, when I am alone in my bedroom playing dress up in the mirror wearing my favorite lingerie or hoodie is when I feel the best, it's when I feel the sexiest, the prettiest... the most comfortable. Then it clicked! Boudoir wasn't about dressing up in sexy lingerie... It was more about feeling empowered, loving the skin that you're in, and body positivity.

…My name is KIM, K to the I M haha, YAS I’m BACK! After a tumultuous year ending a toxic marriage, moving, and just fucking surviving, I am stoked to feel happy and like myself again! No longer in survival mode, I am thriving and it feels amazing! I was going to spend this entire blog spilling tea and ruining lives (I’m a Virgo, don’t judge me) but why waste my time, your time, and these amazing portraits talking about people who don’t really matter anymore? My name is Kimberly Angel, nothing more and nothing less. Y’all, it feels so good to be back!
Speaking of these amazing portraits, I teamed up with the incredible John Kornegay Photography to create some serious magic at GoodVibes Studio in Apex NC!
When All is Said and Done, You Will Believe God is a Woman-Birthday Boudoir- In Studio at Nine19 Photography- Raleigh NC
That SASS though! Happy birthday to this gorgeous woman! This Goddess wanted to celebrate (her and her partners bday too!) with a stunning boudoir session in studio here in Raleigh NC and .GURL. did she celebrate! I love a full figured woman who isn’t afraid to show what she is working with! So, much confidence and ALL the poses. She is proof that with another year of loving yourself, you get another year of being confident AF. Self love is the best love and although she had to work at it in the past, she made it and she so proud of who she is, her body, and these bomb ass portraits (as she should be, I mean, HELLO!)
Natural Hair Goddess- In Studio Boudoir Session Raleigh NC- LaTisha
LaTisha reached out to me years ago about working on a portrait session and we finally got around to it! She came to my studio, here in Raleigh NC and rocked it! This amazing woman showed up and showed out! Her natural beauty is almost overwhelming. She posses the kind of charm and warmth that people just gravitate towards. The coolness that just surrounds her is what most of us wish we had. All of these attributes, I believe come through in her boudoir session.
