Oregon Boudoir Photographer | I'm moving!

Okay, I'm not actually moving, but my boudoir blog is! I'm going to merge it with my regular blog, so from here on out, you can see my boudoir blog posts HERE.

Albuquerque Boudoir Photographer | curves for days

Portland Boudoir Studio | hello, drama.

Salem Oregon Boudoir Photographer | coffee, coffee, coffee

I don't know if coffee gets any sexier than this. 

New Mexico Boudoir Photographer | when your friend won't cooperate...

Like many mothers, my best friend was not up for having boudoir photos done.  She wasn't loving her body and was overwhelmed with life, school, and her newly blossoming career. Sometimes when my friends won't cooperate, I have to trick them. For their own good, of course. The house I rented through airbnb had this really awesome light on the nightstand and I'd brought along this really awesome hat. I asked her to pose for me, just to test out the lighting situation, for the boudoir sessions I had planned for later.  In the end, she was the only one I photographed in this room, as I'd never intended to create this image with anyone else. When I saw the light in the room, I knew I had to have as my subject. I feel confident in saying that she loves this image and totally forgives me for my trickery. Plus, I let her wake me up at an unreasonable hour the next morning to hang out and drink massive amounts of coffee. She's a morning person and I am not, so I think we're even. 

New Mexico Boudoir Photographer | casual film session

I've had a few people ask me if I've moved to New Mexico.
No, I have not. I still happily reside in Oregon.
I did, however, book several boudoir sessions when I went to Albuquerque earlier this year and have been slowly sharing them on my blog and on social media.  My bestie recently moved to Albuquerque, though, which means I'd like to make a trip at least once a year (probably in early summer) to visit her! So, if you live in the area and you'd like to book a session with me while I'm there, just shoot me an email (kel@kelwardphotography.com)!

Anyway, here are a few film images from my session with the lovely Bella.
The girl just has a casual elegance about her that I love.
