Oklahoma City Intimate Lifestyle Portrait | Danielle

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 3 things were you most nervous about going into your session?

I was nervous about my body image, being authentic, and my comfort level.

How did the reality of your session compare to your expectations going into it?

The reality of my session exceeded all my expectations. The moment the session started, I knew I had nothing to worry about.

What was your favorite part of the experience?

My favorite part of the experience was being in the moment and feeling comfortable in my skin.

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.

How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?

I feel confident and empowered. “Like Wow, I did that!

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
