What is boudoir photography?

Intimate, sensual, and sometimes erotic, boudoir photography with Whiskey Reverie is an artistic, soulful, and laughter-filled experience for clients interested in creating portraits just as dynamic and sexy as they are.

Who is it for?

Anyone excited to explore their sensuality and have a few laughs along the way. While this does make a badass gift for a partner, boudoir photography is a big-deal gift for yourself.

What’s with the name—Whiskey Reverie?

Reverie /ˈrev·ə·ri/
A daydream. 2. (a state of having) pleasant thoughts

Some of my best ideas, biggest ah-ha moments, and memorable heart-to-hearts come from conversation with my women over a strong bourbon drink. It’s the women in my life whom I share my wildest dreams with.

There was a whiskey-infused evening when I said something along the lines of “what if I use my photography and passion for lifting women up with a boudoir lifestyle brand that captures the full essence of their personhood?” It was applauded with “hell yeah’s” and “oh you should totally go for it’s” by my bests and the rest is history.

That was my whiskey reverie. And I’m looking forward to making one with you.

So how does all this work?

Take a look at my portfolio and see if my style aligns with your vision. Then fill out a contact form on my site with your desired time frame of shooting and I’ll follow up with my photography packages and availability. If this is all still feeling like a good fit, you’ll put down a non-refundable $50 deposit to go toward your package and then we’ll start discussing that day:

  • I love shooting in my clients’ or their friends’ homes to create an environment that speaks to them. I’m also totally game for shooting in a hotel or vacation rental and can make those arrangements on your behalf for a small fee.

  • Together we’ll build out a mood board and discuss what to bring. I can also recommend fantastic hair and makeup artists in the area but many clients choose to do their own for the shoot.

  • The day-of you’ll bring an assortment of lingerie, articles of clothing, and items that make you feel like a million bucks and we’ll style your looks.

  • Don’t forget a playlist so we can rock it out!

  • I’ll bring the champagne whiskey

 Your final payment is due the day of the shoot. My turnaround time is typically 4 weeks. I’ll send you your digital images via a secure gallery that you’ll have access to for 90 days. Download the images on your computer (it also doesn’t hurt to back them up on a storage device!) We will likely become lifelong friends (only if you want—remember, it’s all about consent) and you’ll have some bangin’ hot pictures.

This is so great but I am super awkward in front of the camera.

Dude, same. But honestly, I love shooting people who hate having their picture taken. In fact, I’m going to work with you the entire session to pose you for images that show how brilliant you and your body are.

Can I do this on the down-low?

100%. I’ll always ask your permission to share any shots and a hard no is perfectly acceptable. I’ll share your images through a secure, password-protected gallery that can be for your eyes only.

I’m still nervous…

You can keep on (or off) as many articles of clothing as you like. Prior to the day of the shoot, we’ll talk about your comfort level, and also what parts of your body you love and what parts challenge you. But knowing things can change and this is a vulnerable situation, I’ll be checking in throughout the session to make sure you’re still feeling confident and beautiful.
