Best Boudoir Photographer in Louisiana - Blush Studio by Leslie

Best Boudoir Photographer in Louisiana

Louisiana Boudoir Photographer - Sam, by Leslie Whitaker - Shreveport Boudoir Photographer

Sam recently came to the studio for her first boudoir session with me. We’ve already got more sessions coming up! I absolutely love working with her. I love shooting women with tattoos and the more the better. I’ve recently had a couple of girls tell me that other photographers turned them down because they had tattoos, and I seriously can’t imagine!!! I love working with ALL of my clients, no matter their size, color, or anything else. Beauty is beauty and I can find it anywhere! :)

We did seven different looks for her boudoir session, I LOVE the blue, don’t you?! Hailey got her all ready with a fresh wash, dry and style plus gorgeous makeup. All of my client’s love seeing Hailey in her studio (just down the hall) before coming to see me in the boudoir studio. Hair and Makeup really sets everything up perfectly. Hailey knows how to style you just right for my work.

One of the best parts of choosing me as your boudoir photographer is that I show your gallery THE VERY SAME DAY of your session. Literally as soon as we are doing taking photos! You see everything un-edited, and there is a reason for that. I want you to know that THAT'S YOU. I want you to know that YOU look exactly like the photos you are seeing, and I want you to walk out KNOWING you're fine as hell! Because you are! You are amazing, just like you are! And I can prove it to you. Come see me to build your self-confidence. Come see me to remind you of all of the good things you have forgotten about yourself. Come see me so you can see what the whole world really sees. We can be so mean to ourselves, and I can help you change the way you see yourself!

Shreveport Boudoir Photographer - Glitter Bath - Blush Studio by Leslie

I have this little Facebook Group. I guess it’s not so ‘little’ anymore, at over 2,000 members. We keep it to just women, so that each member is able to feel safe talking about girl stuff. :) Anyway, from time to time I will post model calls for specific ideas. Mrs. A answered a model call I did a few months ago for a glitter bath. We were supposed to do this session the beginning of August, but I ended up developing pre-eclampsia at 33 weeks and delivering at 36.6 weeks (just a few days before we’d scheduled this particular session). We finally got to do this session last week, and it was so much fun!

Mrs. A came to the studio at 930 and meet Hailey in her space for hair and makeup. She’d washed her hair the evening before, and it was brushed backwards. Typically, we curl or do big waves, but Hailey thought the slick backed look would look so good for her glitter bath. Her hair would be getting wet anyway, so curls would be a waste in the end. Hailey was so right! I ended up loving what Hailey did, and Mrs. A asked for a pop of purple in her eyeshadow. I did greens, blue and silver for her glitter bath and IT TURNED OUT SO DANG PRETTY!!!

This is the third session that Mrs. A has done with me, she keeps coming back for more. Boudoir photos are seriously ADDICTIVE, and I really can’t blame ya’ll. They are definitely one of my top three session types that I do, and they definitely are a love of mine. I love the outcome, you guys seeing your photos. Did you know that my clients see their photos THE VERY SAME DAY of their session? I do not want you guys to have to wait to see how fucking fabulous you are, and really there is a science to it. I want you to see what the camera sees, before I edit. I think it really brings your self-confidence full circle. I am not a heavy editor anyway, but I find that if you do not see your unedited images that clients THINK I’ve done some crazy editing to them - when I DO NOT. I want you to see what everyone else sees when they look at you! I want you to see yourself, for the badass that you are!

Boudoir photos aren’t just about the bed. A whole heck of a lot more goes into it around here! Sure, you don’t NEED all the fluff to have pretty photos, but it sure is a lot more fun with all of the textures added in.

I’ve gotten to take photos of heather a few different times, and every single session has been different. I absolutely love working with her, it might have been more than three sessions by now. lol. She’s learned my cues, and I really don’t even have to tell her to move during a pose anymore, she gives me so much to work with b/c she knows what I’m going to say next. :)

reading that you’re probably like, “omg, i won’t know what to do! She’s not gonna like taking photos me!” That couldn’t be further from the truth! I am so hands on girl. I get down and show you exactly how to pose, and then once you get into the pose yourself I correct any small things and we go from there. By the third pose you are pointing your toes without me telling you to! You will be a pro, just like heather, by the end of your session too!

I think every single client, that books for the first time, tells me how they don’t have the confidence to do this. when i tell you every one has some sort of insecurity, they do! do not think anyone you see on my website didn’t come into the studio nervous as hell! but it’s so much fun! You have to do a boudoir session with me, at least once! It’s a total blast!!!

Shreveport Bridal Photographer - Hailey's Bridal Session, by Leslie Whitaker

Hailey has been my client for a few years! We normally do boudoir when she comes to see me, but this time she was getting married and i just had to take her bridals. She’s coming back to see me soon, with her new hubby and i can absOLUTELY not wait! he’s so nervous too, lol. it’s going to be a blast.

hailey got her hair and makeup done in studio, by my artist who is also named hailey. it’s confusing, i know. lol. I feel like i have so many clients named hailey, and caroline has been a name I have a lot lately too. That has no corelation to each other lololol.

We took photos in the studio and then walked a couple of blocks around the studio too. makeup hailey went with us and helped fluff the dress, we had a client after her that day too and hailey was a ton of help with the dress. she doesn’t normally get to hang out with us as we shoot, so it was a totaly treat for her.

I hope you love Hailey’s Bridal PORTRAITS; they are so freakin gorgeous.

Shreveport, Louisiana Boudoir Photographer - What to expect during your session.

A lot of perspective clients are so nervous about the day of, and not even just about being nakey in front of someone new. I try to make the entire day silly, all about the client and super simple to follow. The last thing I want is for my client to ask me what’s happening next. So, we go over what to expect on the phone and in their day before e-mail too. Keep reading to find out how my sessions flow.

Sessions are held on weekdays, typically Tuesday through Thursday. When you arrive at the studio, I meet you downstairs and walk you up. My on staff stylist are waiting on you upon arrival and we begin hair and makeup. It will take the stylist about an hour to complete your look and during that time I am near by so that we can get to know each other better and decide on outfits for your session. I also have snacks, drinks and bubbly out for you to enjoy during this time.

Petite sessions allow for three outfits and artistic nudes. Now, you might have just gone “OHmygawwwwd. I could never do nudes!”. You’re wrong, I promise! Just look below. :) Full sessions can be up to 10 outfits, sheets and artistic nudes. A petite session typically has at least 30 final images and a full session can have 70 or more.

After makeup and outfit selections are done, we get right to shooting. We shoot for about 45 minutes with a petite session and up to two hours for a full. Depending on how things go, we may not need that much time for either session.

After we are done taking your boudoir photos, I give you time to change back into your street clothes and I get all of your images pulled up and saved. I make the first pass on my own, but you’re able to watch me. I get rid of anything out of focus, repeats, crazy faces (we giggle a lot) and anything I would think unusable in a final gallery.

Then you get to take control. You get to view every single image and choose which ones are your favorite. Don’t worry, I help you the whole time. I have spent years learning how to use light + shadows, how to get the most out of my camera, and how to get the photos I take as close to the final product as possible.

A lot of my clients already know that they want a 10x10 album, the digitals and some wall art and most of the time they pre-pay for those items before their session. When they do that they get free stuff too! Like, a second hair and makeup look, free product, they get to wear my wings or even do a shower set (there’s more!). So we get to work getting our image numbers right for what they are wanting. Sometimes clients choose to upgrade, because there are SO MANY good images!

After the session digital images and prints take about 2 weeks to arrive and albums take about three. I do my best to have a quick turnaround, because who wants to wait!

- Shreveport Boudoir Photographer - In The Sheets - March Model Club - Blush Boudoir Studio

There’s something about simple sheet boudoir photos; I absolutely love them! A lot of times clients will choose ‘sheets’ as one of their outfits. You can go completely bare, using the sheet to cover. You can wear a simple outfit that matches the sheets, or you can wear your favorite color undies to add a pop of color.

Check out my ‘blush babes’ from March. I’m drooling. :)
