Danielle and I had the opportunity to experience delayed gratification for her boudoir session. Danielle’s session was originally scheduled for March, but because of the pandemic and businesses in Oklahoma City having to close as a result of statewide stay-at-home orders, we had to wait several months for the magic to happen.

She was my first client to photograph once my doors opened back up in May, and we were both so ready and so excited to get started! After getting all glammed up, she absolutely rocked her session. We both had fun as she tried on different lingerie outfits in my extensive client style closet. When she came out in a new red velvet bodysuit that I had recently purchased for my client style closet and we put her in the studio’s gun metal gray angel wings, I knew were were going to create something amazing.

And we did! You can see all the goodness in the boudoir portraits below, as well as read, in Danielle’s own words, about her boudoir experience with Intimate Lens Studio:

What was your absolute most favorite photo from your boudoir session, and what makes it special?

My absolute most favorite photo has to be the black and white one where I'm lying on the couch. I love my smile as well as how blissful I feel.

Is there anything at all you wish we would have done differently or think we could do to further enhance the experience in the future?

I wish we had experimented a little more. I'm definitely rethinking glitter, now. LOL

If you've been thinking about booking a boudoir session with Intimate Lens Studio, do it! Ore is amazing. You're gonna be in great hands.

I’m still in love with the amazingness of these blush angel wings from Leah Maria couture. I wanted to do more of a fun and playful creative shoot, so I partnered with Oklahoma City based model Emily Victoria and rented Whitemoose Studios, a natural light studio in Oklahoma City, to do another angel inspired boudoir session.

My first session with these wings involved a Halloween angel inspired male boudoir session with downtown Oklahoma City as the background. You can check out that session here.

I think the results from my session with Emily Victoria speak for themselves. A mixture of sensual and playful, with a little bit of sass and plenty of bold confidence thrown in.
