 I am so excited you decided to stop by today!
Some people become teachers, lawyers, doctors, speech language pathologist, or politicians - some throw themselves into the world of finance or sales, and some run full steam into the sciences. These practical jobs have their place on this Earth and I’m grateful to have been in one of these fields (speech language pathology) for 30 years.


A note about this guide to find Self- Love And Empowerment Through Boudoir. 

Hi Gorgeous, I'm julie

You will find information about the following info:

I am sure you have a ton of questions about a few things. This guide is to help provide you with information on how the boudoir experience works!

I’ll be the first to admit that boudoir photography isn’t exactly “practical,” and that it might even be misunderstood by some.
But there’s one thing I know from personal experience doing this work: it changes lives. 

It’s no secret that women, specifically, face a brutal and judgmental world. One filled with marketing images of airbrushed “perfection,” and marketing ploys to become “better” through diet, supplements, gym memberships, and more. Baring all in front of the camera — literally — may seem like a way to highlight every self-perceived flaw that women are taught to believe about themselves, but I’m here to tell you that a boudoir session has the complete opposite effect for my clients. 

Boudoir sessions empower women. They give them space to unleash their curves, to forget about all the marketing noise, to celebrate their bodies in a way they’ve never done before. I may not have a “practical” job that saves lives or educates our children anymore, but just like I value my past career, I think — no, I know — there’s value in what I do as a boudoir photographer. The proof? Every woman who steps in front of my camera, walks away feeling more self-assured and more beautiful than ever before. 

Meet Taylor...

 a certified cosmetologist, who makes sure each client's makeup is on point for the photoshoot.  Her artistry skills provide long lasting and flawless foundation with lightweight/comfort eyelashes that makes every photo pop! 





When you come into my studio, this is the first thing we do. We let the hair and makeup artist take control. No worries, as soon as Taylor is done, she leaves the building to give you complete privacy with your session!

Having fresh foundation will help smooth your skin from blemishes or discoloration. Even some false lashes will add a “WOW” factor to you! We recommend curls for our clients. This helps with providing classy photos, or you can get messy in them to give your images a bit of sass!

This will be similar to a spa day for you. Kick off your shoes, make yourself at home and relax!

Hair and make-up offered to every client for additional $100.00

a note from the husband

“Hey Julie. Thanks so much for getting  my wife to do a shoot and for putting it together. It is absolutely amazing and was a fantastic birthday present. Awesome work!!”. 

Julie made a boudoir session fun, easy, and seamless! From arranging hair and makeup for the session to designing and delivering  the best photo book she did it all.
Boudoir photos were always something I thought of as "those are beautiful, but not for me."  I'm so glad I gave Julie a chance to show me that I can be sexy too. The photos are beautiful and classy and something I will treasure for a lifetime!

Why You Should Do An
 Empowering Boudoir Photoshoot?

Welcome to my "happy" place!  This is what happened when Covid hit and the world shut down. I found myself retiring from my full time job, following my passion and creating my dream studio ... and  WOW did I create!

Someone once said, "I am a consummate professional, being a perfectionist, down to the most minute detail. And that I  have a unusual combination of technical ability, personality and an exquisite eye for style."  

Well, when you see my studio, I think you will  totality understand what they meant!

Here's Why

BOUDOIR IS MADE FOR YOU

Client closet

View Gallery

What’s on the outside should reflect on the inside, so the most important tip for choosing what to wear during your session is to pick something you feel confident in. Choose options ranging from sassy lingerie to his button down shirt and cuff links. If you’re feeling extra brave, you can opt to wear nothing at all for “implied nude” photos! We will capture tasteful, beautiful and flattering poses. Whatever you choose, I want you to feel beautiful and confident. Staying true to yourself is the most beautiful look of all!

What To Wear

Places to Shop

You can either treat yourself and purchase a few gorgeous outfits for your photoshoot or leave it to me, because girl, I've got you covered!  At my studio, I offer over 200+ pieces of lingerie and outfits ranging XS-XL. I literally have something for everyone.
My closet is packed with luxury robes, corsets, stockings, garters, body jewelry, crop tops/ white t-shirts and of course lingerie. 

If you choose to take advantage of the client closet, for sanitary reasons, you will need to make sure you bring your own undergarments in nude, black or white to hide under the garment you end up choosing. 

 I also provide you with lots of places to shop and things to bring from your own collection.



Client Closet

A babydoll is a feminine and delicate short, sleeveless and lose fitting nightgown. They can be super romantic and are the perfect lingerie for feeling effortlessly gorgeous. 


babydoll

Hey there, you bombshell with those killer curves. Corsets will cinch your waist and give you an hourglass shape.  Think of the eightieth century where the women wore corsets on the daily- they can be hard to put on, but don't worry- I can help you!













corset

Bodysuits are one piece stretch garments that are super popular and very flattering especially if you are more on the conservative side, or you're wanting to leave your partner (if this is a gift for him/her of course) yearning for more. 

bodysuit

When shopping for these,  proper fit is super important. Be careful of push up bras, because sometimes they can make you look unnatural.  Make sure the area of your armpit is smooth and you are not spilling out of the cups. That makes it more flattering on camera.

Prepare

You've scheduled your boudoir session with EYEPOPPHOTO, you go girl! 
This timeline will help prepare you for your empowerment session. 

How about that hot yoga class you’ve been meaning to try? The better you feel, the better you’ll look. 

3 -6 months prior

Schedule any beauty appointments. Hair and makeup is provided on the day! 
If you are bringing your own lingerie, give yourself lots of time to shop for something that makes you feel confident and gorgeous in. 

1 month prior

no. 02 

Stay out of the direct sun. A tan and or spray tan can make you look orange in your images. Some tanning products also rub off or transfer onto fabrics and can ruin any of the lingerie pieces, the bedding or furniture pieces.

If you get waxed (bikini, lip, brow—whatever your normal routine is), make sure it's at least a few days prior to your session to make sure any redness or irritation has subsided.

Drink plenty of water for that beautiful & flawless skin. 







1 week  prior

no. 03 

Hydrate! Drink lots of water. 

Take a long bubble bath to relax. Listen to calming music. Meditate or do some yoga.

Try on outfits and narrow down your wardrobe selection.

Moisturize your skin all over before bedtime.

Most important of all: Get a good night’s sleep!

getting ready

Are you getting ready for your empowering boudoir session? Unsure of how to prepare? Girl, I've got you covered. Click through the slides and make sure you check what you think is important off your list for your photoshoot. 

boudoir checklist

A great tip to prepare yourself for your empowerment boudoir photoshoot, is to write down exactly why you are doing this. 
Maybe it's to find self-love and to embrace your body or to give a milestone gift to your partner. Whatever the reason, your photoshoot is an amazing celebration of these reason, and you deserve it!

boudoir checklist

Make yourself a music playlist! Add all your favourite songs that you love and you can jam to during the photoshoot. Don't have a playlist, no worries.. I've got lots to choose from!

boudoir checklist

Feeling nervous before your photoshoot is completely normal. Words have a lot of power, so I highly recommend to come up with a mantra for yourself. Practice your affirmation in front of the mirror.  You can say something like-
"I am beautiful", or "I love my body".
Say it out loud, and believe it, because girl- it's definitely true!

boudoir checklist

Treat yourself to some new lingerie and model the heck out of it!
The more you feel comfortable in your outfits- the more your confidence will shine on camera the day of your session!

the answers

Questions ?

you have 

This is totally up to you. If you don't mind your photos being shared online, I'll have you sign a model release form and you can specify where you would like them posted.

WILL MY BOUDOIR IMAGES BE POSTED ONLINE?

I've totally got you covered there. I know all the tips and tricks to create the most flattering angles for women of all shapes and sizes. Don't you worry about posing, I'll help you pose everything from your head to your toes.

HOW DO I KNOW HOW TO POSE?

Yes, your portraits are fully edited by removing any bruises, scratches, skin blemishes, cleaning up fly away hairs and I do minor/light skin softening. I will NEVER EVER alter your body as that is not what a empowering boudoir session is about. It's about loving the skin you are in. I want you to look back on these in 10+ years and say “That's what I look like and I am so proud I did this for myself.”

Do you do touchups?

Depending on how quickly you choose your final images, you will receive them within the week. You product can take up to 3-4 weeks to be delivered after that.


How long will it take to recieve my images?

Thank you for taking the time to go through my website. I can't wait to empower you through boudoir on your session date. If you have any questions in the mean time - send me a message!


"Empowering women to love the skin they're in"

thank you!!!
