What is Boudoir Photography All About?

Boudoir is a French word meaning a lady’s salon, a retreat, where a woman can withdraw to be alone. At its core, boudoir photography is an intimate exploration of self-expression and body positivity. It provides a safe space for individuals to shed societal expectations and embrace their bodies exactly as they are. The process involves collaborating with a boudoir photographer who specializes in capturing the essence of your true self, creating a narrative that unfolds through each carefully curated image. Embarking on a boudoir photoshoot is an opportunity to break free from self-doubt and rediscover your inner strength. Traditionally, boudoir shoots would take place in a bedroom. This is still generally true. In recent years, however, there has been a trend to shoot “beach boudoir” which involves the intimate and sensual style of boudoir photography with the natural and serene backdrop of a beach.

What is Fitness Photography All About?

The goal of fitness photography is to showcase the subjects in a way that highlights their strength, athleticism, and dedication to a healthy lifestyle. Fitness photographers often work with athletes, fitness models, or everyday individuals who are passionate about fitness. Aside from gym shoots, these shoots generally occur outside at the beach or in other natural settings to maximize the aesthetic of the images. Fitness photography also includes glitter bath, foil, metallic tape shoots, etc. To see examples of Lacie’s fitness photography or to find out more, click here.

  1. Consultation:
    Unveil your boudoir or fitness photography vision in a personalized consultation. We will discuss your goals, posing, wardrobe, style, and comfort levels to ensure a tailored experience. Once your date is booked, we will send you a guide with plenty of tips to prepare for your photo session.
  2. The Shoot:
    Step into the spotlight during your empowering boudoir or fitness session. There is no experience needed! Lacie knows posing from both sides of the camera, and she’ll guide you through every shot so you look and feel your best. Accordingly, Lacie will capture your unique beauty with professionalism, making you feel confident and celebrated.
  3. Photo Reveal:
    The fun doesn’t end when we stop shooting! It’s time for your photo reveal session. Now you get to see, ooh and ahh over your beautiful images on the big screen of our studio, your home, or in some cases, over zoom. These images will be minimally edited. At this time, we will work together to select images that you absolutely love and select any products that you may want to order, such as an album or fine art print.
  4. Retouching:
    Once you’ve ordered and paid for your images and products, we begin the retouching process. Professional photo retouching is included in you photography session. We focus on artistic, detailed retouching. We are not here to change you into something you’re not. While we focus to create a natural look, ultimately how much we enhance is up to you. We are passionate about creating stunning images that capture your individuality and natural beauty.
  5. Delivery of Images:
    Once retouching is completed, your digital images and an ETA on print products will be sent to you via email. Print products will be sent you via mail.

I loved working with Lacie and the images we got together! She is so professional and sweet. She is such an inspiring athlete herself, so she knows how to pose her clients to highlight their best features and hide less desired features. I love that she shares what she sees and captures behind the lens to see if you want something different. She is a great listener! Thank you, Lacie, for the beauty that we’ve created together! I love your eye and talent!

I have hired Lacie multiple times for bodybuilding show photography, fitness model shoots and corporate gym photography. She is passionate about what she does and is always professional. Her photographs are amazing and highlight your strengths while down playing any anomalies. Her creativity and knowledge of lighting and posing make her shoots fun, and your photos incredible. I highly recommend her for your photo shoots. -CAT (GETCATFIT).

Creating a Figure - communication was amazing. It was a smooth & easy process to schedule & get my questions answered. My photo shoot was fun, professional & I was extremely pleased with the results. I have very little experience with photo shoots! I didn’t have ideas of what I wanted, so we worked together to come up w shots I felt comfortable with & Lacie felt confident would look great!
