Experience Boudoir with Kate Brown Photography
When I realized I could empower women to actually love photos of themselves, I knew I had to start emphasizing in this aspect of my business. Boudoir is empowering, uplifting, and something I think all women should experience.
Boudoir, is pronounced “boo-dwahr”.
As a boudoir photographer, my style tends to be feminine, flirty and artistic. I will always create a fun and laid back environment and provide you with classy images that reveal your feminine side. Each session is catered to your personality. The tone can range from sweetly delicate to fiercely sexy, depending on what you are looking for.
If you're not sure whether or not you're ready to book or are on the fence about choosing the right photographer, check out what you would be investing in. When you book Kate Brown Photography for your Boudoir session, you're getting an experience. You'll receive professional makeup that you'll absolutely love, you'll be working with a professional hair stylist, and you will receive tangible professional products for you to hand over to your man or to keep for yourself.

Why Boudoir Photography
There’s many reasons why women choose to do boudoir photography:
- - To use photographs as a gift for a significant other.
- - Brides looking for a unique gift to surprise the groom.
- - To celebrate a milestone - like a 30th, 40th or even 60th birthday.
- - Mothers-to-be looking to document their pre-baby body.
- - As a gift for a lover on Valentine Day!
- - Or simply just to remind yourself that you’ve still got that sassy side in you. With all the daily tasks women face – life gets pretty hectic! I truly feel that every woman deserves to take a break from the hustle of life, be a little selfish, indulge and do something totally outside of your comfort zone!
What to Expect
I am thrilled that you are interested in boudoir photography! I like to think of it as an extended spa day – but better! A boudoir session is better because you get to take home images that remind you every day of how amazing you truly are! Overall I want to create images that you would be proud to blow up and hang on your bedroom wall. At every shoot, I strive to give you a good mix of tasteful and timeless with a few sexy scandalous photos sprinkled in as well. If at the end of our day together you feel powerful, feminine and sexy then I have succeeded in my job. I love the entire process of boudoir photography from beginning to end and enjoy assisting you every step of the way.
First I suggest that you browse through this blog, read reviews and check out my portfolio. Contact me with any and every question and idea you might have. Prepping for the big day: shopping, and gathering inspirational ideas leading up to the shoot! Feel free to reach out to me so we can get some ideas together. A great place to look for ideas is Pinterest.
Finally, it’s the day of the big shoot! I work with remarkable hair and make-up artists that are just as passionate as I am about making you feel confident and sexy during your shoot.
We have two different collection options. You may book a private session or we host a Boudoir Marathon once a year. Our most popular being in January, just in time for Valentine's Day!
During our Boudoir Marathon, you will spend 30 minutes with make-up and another 30 with hair. Then we’ll start on our session! After shooting for 45 minutes, we’ll view your images right then and there for your album! Congratulations – we finished the shoot! Everything I offer is ready to hang or display, whether it’s an album, canvas or metal art.
Our private boudoir sessions consist of professional hair and make-up along with a 2-hour private session.

Products we offer
Choosing how you will present your boudoir photographs is one of the best parts of the whole boudoir experience! After your photo shoot, we will meet in person for the big reveal and look through all of your images. Once you’ve narrowed down your favorite images we will be able to decide what product is best for you.
Albums: Most of our albums are available in 8x8. Do you have a special note or favorite quote you would like to include? Let me know and we can add that to your album design! The pages are a sturdy photographic paper that lay-flat when open without any seam or gap to distract from your image.
Canvas & Metals: My favorite place to hang these breathtaking metal photographs is in the master bathroom or master bedroom. Fill that space above your bathtub with a beautiful image of yourself. Or maybe you’ve got the perfect blank wall in your bedroom waiting to be filled with a collage of canvas prints.
Prints: We offer a variety of paper and mounted prints. These are great for your partner to take on the go!
Testimonials
“The environment created by Kate and her hair/makeup ladies was one of comfort and fun. I, like most, was a tad bit nervous and self-conscious at first, but this really helped me to see myself in another light. The photos came out absolutely gorgeous! I had originally intended them to be a gift for my husband, which will most likely render him speechless, however it turned into an unexpected gift for myself as well by providing me with the understanding that there is no need to be self-conscious of my body. This was truly a most excellent experience!”
