Princesses and Villians - All of em', Queens - Louisiana Boudoir Photographer, Leslie Whitaker

Twenty one women, and as many weeks and we are finally done!

I am excited to present to you a true labor of love; full of nostalgia. We dreamt of being them, we were them when playing with our friends and we knew every single word to the theme songs. We even dressed as them on Halloween and had birthday parties where we celebrated our favorite princess.

My makeup artist and I bounced this idea around for well over six months, and in January I began looking for models in my boudoir Facebook group. I put out a open model call for women with specific hair and eye color combinations and if they fit those specifications they were asked to apply; I only shared their character with them after they agreed to participate. Everyone agreed to keep my idea a secret until the images were released publicly. Women of all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, body types and professions participated. Each one was treated to hair and makeup by my staff artists and I provided everything needed to transform them into their inner princess.

Each woman below is special to me. I’m seriously fan-girling that they'd trusted me before they even knew what they were signing up for! I watched each woman blossom through my camera lens. I witnessed them fall in love with themselves again, when they got to see the unedited images in studio. Even as I edited each session, I fell in love over and over again with the theme. I am so stinkin' proud of what we did here!

It was so much fun watching each fairytale come to life. Some of the models were new to Blush Studio by Leslie and some were long time clients. I had so much fun designing each session and I hope you’ll take the time to appreciate all of the women who participated. I’m obsessed with each photograph you’ll see below, and I hope you love them too.

XOXO,

Leslie


I’d love if you’d comment at the bottom and tell me which princess or villian was your favorite. ;)
