Sexy and confident boudoir photos for EVERY woman! | Columbus Ohio

Posted on October 4, 2017July 10, 2019 by Angela Woolridge

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.

Beautiful boudoir photos are for EVERY woman!

Posted on September 11, 2017July 10, 2019 by Angela Woolridge

Beautiful boudoir photos are for EVERY woman, and my studio welcomes all ladies with open arms. You don’t need to be a certain size, or a particular shape, or be a specific height, or be a precise age. And you certainly don’t have to live in a specific color of skin to have a beautiful boudoir photo session at my studio.

Many weeks ago, I was disgusted by the polarization of blacks vs whites in the media in response to Charlottesville and the death that happened at the protest rallies being held there. Racism is an ugly, evil thing. But I don’t see that sort of “us vs them” or “black vs white” in my community of Pickerington, Ohio. I feel like the greater Columbus Ohio area is a great blend of black and white and other minorities who all work and live together in harmony. When I see my neighbors at the grocery store, I don’t notice what color that their skin is. I sincerely notice their beauty, I notice their children, I notice their smile. I see them working hard to manage life, be good parents, and enjoy this crazy life we are all given. To me, we are all the same. We all have struggles. We all have hopes and dreams. We all deserve to feel wanted and loved. Each person in my community is unique and beautiful and important. And EVERY single one of the amazing women that I pass by in my community deserves to see how gorgeous that she is. She may not see herself that way; but I KNOW that she is a stunning creature.

So, in the midst of the devastation in Texas last week in the aftermath of hurricane Harvey, it has been wonderful to see all of the love being poured out. All races are helping each other, and I haven’t seen any racism in the news. I truly believe that most of us sincerely love and appreciate those around us. I found myself weeping as I saw the stories unfolding on national television. I love my neighbors and I am deeply grateful for all of those around me.

And I am grateful that this stunning mom allowed me to post her beautiful boudoir photos. I cannot share images with you unless the client gives me permission to share, so I was thrilled to be able to share this bombshell mama! I get asked a lot about make up for different skins tones; and my make up artists are skilled at make up application for all skin types and races. So if you are Asian, or Indian, or African, or European decent or anything else…you are gorgeous to me and I would love to have the honor of capturing your beauty. I thrive on watching ladies see themselves as the goddesses that they are. Allow me to create beautiful boudoir photos for you – you won’t be disappointed!

Doing a sexy boudoir photo session is for every woman. | Columbus Boudoir

Posted on July 26, 2017July 10, 2019 by Angela Woolridge

Did you think that you have to be a certain age or size to do a sexy boudoir photo session? I may have been guilty of the same thoughts many years ago, when I first began to explore shooting this genre of photography. I had so many assumptions that were incorrect.

Years later, I can tell you that a sexy boudoir photo shoot is indeed for EVERY woman. It is for the wife and mother. It is for the secretary, nurse, and teacher. Intimate portraiture is for the gal who doesn’t even see her self as desirable or seductive. It’s for the woman today who is covered in baby spit up and running on little sleep, or the professional donning scrubs for a 12 hour rotation at the hospital. A sexy boudoir photo shoot isn’t just for models or fitness gurus and gym rats. It doesn’t matter if she is a young 23 year old or a fabulous 61 year old lady with some experience in life and stories to tell(I love those inspiring stories by the way!). And it doesn’t matter if she is extremely fit or out of shape. It doesn’t matter if she is very tiny or a very curvy gal. It isn’t necessary to have cosmetic work done. Whether she has nursed 3 children and has “mom boobs” or has had to endure a mastectomy due to cancer; she is still a beautiful sexual being. Whether she has a round booty or a flat one, her likeness is awesome to behold. Stirring inside of every woman’s mind is the question: “Am I beautiful, am I attractive?” Of course the answer is a resounding: “Yes, you are gorgeous!” Doing a sexy boudoir photo session can show you that you are indeed beautiful. Over and over again, I hear my clients raving about the confidence and self esteem that they gained by having a boudoir session done. You can see their own words from Google, Yelp, and Facebook reviews collectively posted on my testimonials page. And all of the ladies posted on my website are actual clients whose occupations have nothing to do with modeling – most of whom would tell you that they suffered from insecurities about their own bodies.

I can tell you for sure that a sexy boudoir photo session is for every single woman, and I am here to help as many ladies in Columbus Ohio and beyond to have a super model experience and see their own beauty through sexy boudoir photos.

Many thanks to the stunning Mrs. N for giving me permission to share some of her photos in lingerie. She is such a beauty, and her story is one that makes me beam with joy because she chose to take a hard road that few would choose – and her hard choices have led to great joy. I am inspired so much by my amazing clients.
