Not too long ago I got an itch – I wanted photos, good ones, of DRL and I. We aren’t that couple that has a million and one arm-extended-say-cheese phone photos of our adventures together. We would be hard pressed to find even a handful of those. What we do have of us together – where I’m not all puffy and post-explusion-of-a-wombfruit – is limited to photos of us at friends’ weddings and our own lackluster wedding photos. Our wedding photos, though properly exposed and edited well, and though they cost nearly what I charge for a wedding now, aren’t awesome by any stretch of the imagination.

Which made me, almost literally, jump for joy. The word boudoir means different things to different people, but to me, a boudoir session is about documenting a woman’s innate beauty and her own unique, and often subtle, vulnerabilities. Accomplishing this can only be done with confidence and through trust, and Caitlin brought...
