Emotionally Ready vs. Physically Ready for Your Boudoir Session: Here's What Really Matters
A boudoir session isn’t about trying to hide or “fix” anything about you. It’s about showing up, just as you are, and saying, “I am enough.” And look, I know that’s easier said than done. We’re all our own worst critics. But I promise, once you start leaning into that self-love, you’ll feel unstoppable.
If You Don't Jump to Put Jeans on Baby, You Don't Feel My Pain- Self Confidence Boudoir- Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
NEW ENERGY, WHO DIS?! Yo girl is truly happy and living her best damn life! I truly strive to make sure my clients feel this happy during their boudoir session with me! I always joke that out of all the boudoir sessions that I have done, I can count on one hand and a finger how many of my clients walked in vixens, the rest of us are awkward, nervous, and goofy. It’s just true and there is nothing wrong with that, because a smile is just as sexy as a smize! As cousin Jhene says, Happiness over everything, it’s the phrase that I am living by these days. If it doesn’t suit my life and bring me happiness, then it’s not worth keeping around. Life is too short to not be happy!

A True F'n Stunner: They Love the Dark Hair and Bright Eyes- Fearless and Feisty Boudoir Nine19 Photography Studio- Raleigh NC
Fearless doesn’t even begin to describe how confident this woman is! She reached out to me about doing a non-bridal, bridal boudoir session as a gift for her future partner and I was all about it. She came to my studio space here in Raleigh NC and let loose! I mean, I should have known that we were in for a great time when she listed her piercings as some of her accessories for her session. When all was said and done, her positivity around her body and who she is as a boss, rubbed off on Kassy (Hair and Makeup) and I. You, literally, could tell no woman in this space nothing that day, haha. This is no ordinary boudoir session, this is a woman who know’s who the hell she is and what the hell she wants. SHE IS GOALS AF. All I have to say about this session is, move over, because a bad bitch is coming through! #YESQUEEN
Brunettes are Bombshells too: Self Love Boudoir at Nine19 Photography Studio- Raleigh NC
This girl right here! YAS! She reached out to me about doing a boudoir session just because and I was all the way here for it. Sometimes, I think clients feel like they have to have an excuse to do a boudoir session and that’s simply not the case. Sometimes, you love your body exactly the way it is and you want to document it in it’s perfect state of perfection. Sometimes, you need reassurance about your body so you can love it exactly the way that it is and seeing it through someone else’s lens is the perfect way to do that! No need to have a wedding, birthday, or anniversary, the occasion can just be because you’re you!
Guest Blog: A Second Chance- Raleigh NC Boudoir- Leslie Alford Mims House
n 2014, I had the pleasure of being Kim's first boudoir client! Of course, like any woman, I was concerned with the way I looked. Kim made it extremely easy for me to get comfortable. We played music, drank a beer and had some good laughs. I really enjoyed the photos she took of me that day and realize that "Wow, they actually look amazing!" Here we are, three years later and so much has changed in my life. I am now engaged, I just came off from traveling full time (Monday-Friday) for two whole years and I'm about to turn the BIG 3-0! I wanted to surprise my fiance with this photo shoot as a wedding gift and I had a lot going on between getting married, work, family life but made sometime to do another photo shoot! I decided to take advantage of Kim's annual Boudoir Blitz!
Surprised Sensuality: Confidence Becomes Her- At Home Boudoir Session Raleigh NC- Kassy
Sitting in front of me in that moment was this stunning woman who is extremely talented and quirky in the best way possible. She has this amazing figure and eyes that literally stops people in their tracks and she doesn't see any of this. I made it my mission to drop hints at a boudoir session every chance I got and finally she reached out to me, under the guise of a surprise anniversary session for her husband. Now, as much as I knew this was for hubby, I knew more than anything it was going to be a major breakthrough for Kassy.
