Couture Boudoir by Critsey Rowe

Boudoir – Spicing Things Up
Bridal Fashion Boudoir...sounds luxurious and sexy doesn't it? That's because it is! Boudoir sessions are not a new trend, however bridal fashion boudoir has become increasingly popular the last few years. More and more brides are having sexy intimate fashion portraits taken of themselves for their soon to be husbands. Usually given as a wedding day gift. The sessions can be a great gift not only for the guys but a wonderful gift for the brides themselves – a wonderful way to capture their own beauty and unique sexiness.
Boudoir comes from the French word meaning to “pout or sulk” and refers to a woman's dressing room. All of which leads the mind to intimate things.
Boudoir sessions can be taken in any location, in the brides home, in a hotel or in the photographers studio. The client can choose a location that fits their style and how they want to be portrayed in the images. Usually the sessions are like a fashion shoot which includes wardrobe changes and a personal stylist to create different looks throughout the session so the client ends up with lots of gorgeous, sexy portraits. Girls are usually nervous at the beginning of the session but after a few minutes they relax and reveal their inner diva.
"There are more photographers today offering modern tasteful fashion boudoir in place of the old style Glamour Boudoir with feather boas and girls sucking on lolly pops". says Critsey Rowe of Couture Boudoir. "The best way to find the right photographer is to do some research online or ask your girlfriends for referrals. Be sure to look through the photographers portfolio to make sure it is the style you want. Don't just chat via email, talk to them on the phone to get to know them it will help with your comfort level on the day of the shoot." Rowe recommends.
Fashion Boudoir is not only a sexy gift for the wedding day but can be given for any occasion!
