October 2017 - Angela Woolridge Portraits

Stunning bridal boudoir photography was not what I originally set out to do when I picked up my first DSLR two decades ago. I began by documenting all the amazing things in my own life. I had an eye and loved creating art through this medium. And then, when the digital age arrived I began to be a “weekend warrior” shooting weddings on the weekend. When I met my extremely talented and handsome husband 10 years ago, we began to share our common interest in photography and when we married I moved into shooting weddings full time. After a few years of photographing gorgeous weddings, I began to notice a trend. Weddings were always so rushed, and it was hard to capture a lot of fabulous images of the bride’s beauty on the morning of the wedding due to time crunches. And I was introduced to boudoir at a professional photography convention and the light bulb in my brain turned on. Brides often work so hard to be their best selves for that walk down the aisle. Their skin care is on point, they have worked harder than ever at the gym, their tan is perfection, they are eating well, their eyebrows are flawless, they may be investing in eyelash extensions, they are buying lingerie for the wedding night…and on and on. It truly is something that she should be able to look back on in her photos. Her beauty, her femininity, her joy, her confidence, her allure as a bride to be is always so special. For her to have a stunning bridal boudoir photography session which captures all of this is truly priceless. For her partner to receive these as a gift on the wedding day is the extra bonus. It’s really something that they will both cherish for years to come. Bridal boudoir has become very popular, so I see a lot of recently engaged ladies.

While I no longer photograph weddings, it is still such a joy to hear all about each bride’s romance and her upcoming nuptials. I still love to offer tips on how to make your wedding day better, and great ways to go about giving him your sexy boudoir pictures on the big day.

This gal makes my heart sing. She is beautiful to the core. Such a heart of gold, on top of being a total vixen. Thanks Mrs. A for giving me permission to share your stunning bridal boudoir images.

Sexy and confident boudoir photos are something that every woman can have. You do not need to be a certain age or size, to be gorgeous. All it takes is stepping out of your comfort zone. Once you decide to put your session on the calendar, you are on your way to fabulous images that will showcase your beauty. Your entire boudoir photography session will be coached from beginning to end, and you will be guided ahead of time to help you bring the right outfits in order for you to rock your session. Over and over again, I get to show gals the back of the camera during their boudoir photography session; and the result is so fun to witness. Ladies just don’t realize that they are indeed beautiful BEFORE any retouching happens; until they see what is being captured at the studio on the camera screen.

This week after a session, I received this text: “Angela, where do I begin?! Thank you so much for empowering me to do something so out of my comfort zone yet making it a WONDERFUL and EXCITING experience that I can’t wait to share with my husband. You did it, I felt more beautiful today than on my wedding day!! :-)”

Her goal was to feel as beautiful in her shoot as she felt on her wedding day. While that sounded like a huge comparison, since most gals feel their most beautiful on their big day(and she was 12 years older) – I was thrilled by the challenge. I have a lot of “secret sauce” in my lighting and posing, and my make up artist is AMAZING. So I had a feeling she was going to be really happy. Knowing afterwards that the mission was completed successfully when she followed up with the text above, was my cherry on top!

So many women give me the old “I’m NOT photogenic” line. Basically saying that they always loath photos of themselves. My comeback is always “I can change that!”. That may seem like a rather strong statement to make; but what I mean is, you’d be amazed by what great lighting, a professional eye, and proper posing can do for an image of a woman. And I don’t need to tell you that horrific lighting, an untrained eye, or bad posing can create VERY unflattering photos!

I have spent years taking courses and learning my craft and skills; and I am still learning and continuing to educated myself in my field. I have learned how to light women and how to put ladies into a pose to flatter them. I have learned how to capture your inner light shining out in a photo. I know how to help you create confident boudoir photos that will boost your self esteem and help you to see that you are sincerely beautiful.

Are you searching for the right studio to help you to create sexy, confident boudoir photos? Are you wanting to feel more comfortable in your own skin? Do you want to feel feminine, and fearless? Would you like to have seductive images that will be an amazing gift for your partner?

A giant shout out to Ms. W for allowing me to share these photos from her recent session with us a few months ago.
