DC, Maryland, and Virginia Boudoir Photographer

This past January I had my valentine’s day boudoir event and it was blast. It’s rare that I get a client that brings an outfit that is themed for a specific holiday, so I was excited to see Ms. C in her Valentine’s Day outfit. She was gifting her album to her boyfriend for valentine’s day and wanted also to wear something that was just out of her norm. Well, pretty in pink she was!

There’s something about Marilyn Monroe that I’ve always admired for a long time. Every time I’ve come across her photos I’ve always found myself really looking at them and maybe it was her beauty, maybe it was the way she would pose or maybe it was just everything about her. She’s a glamourous lady! So when I started shooting b0udoir photography, everything just clicked. I loved everything about boudoir – the makeup, the glamour, the beauty of the woman I photograph and watching the Marilyn Monroe in them come to life.
I’m still very much inspired by Ms. Monroe and when I had the opportunity to stylize a boudoir shoot, I picked out the outfit and collaborated with Kim Reyes for makeup and hair, this is what we came up with. Stunning!
Be on the look out for more from this shoot, I’ve got some great images to share! Thank you to Ms. V!
Makeup and hair is by far one of the most important aspects in your boudoir session. I work with some amazing and talented hair and makeup artists and being the nosy person that I am, I over hear little tips and how to’s from them when they are getting my clients ready and I thought it would be a great idea to have them guest blog monthly for some beauty tips!
So I’ve decided that we’ll do a monthly guest blog from the hair and makeup experts on some beauty tips just for you! If you have any questions or want to know anything specific, leave us a comment below and we’ll get them answered in the next beauty tips post!
This month’s Beauty Expert is Kim Reyes of Kim Reyes Makeup
Hi, I’m Kim Reyes, professional makeup artist for over 20 years in the DC area. I absolutely love what I do and working with Julie and her Boudoir clients allows me to transform everyday women into their inner vixen for a day.
I’ve been invited to contribute to the boudoir blog with makeup and hair tips, talk about products and anything out there you ladies would like to learn about.
In my basic makeup class I teach everyone the “Five Minute Face” – this is a quick and easy application to get you ready for your day with a light natural look using only five products:
Next tip will be about some of my favorite products!
