Why I Created a Studio Space for Boudoir
When I first started Chasing The Views, boudoir wasn’t even on my radar.
Back then it was sunsets, mountains, and chasing good light with my camera. That’s where all of this started for me. I just loved capturing those moments where the sky was doing something incredible and everything felt peaceful for a minute.
But as I started photographing more people, something shifted.
I realized photography wasn’t just about pretty views. It was about people. Their stories. Their confidence. The way someone sees themselves when they look at a photo.
And that’s really where boudoir started to make sense to me.
The conversations that stuck with me
One thing I noticed pretty quickly when I mentioned boudoir sessions was how many women immediately doubted themselves.
I’d hear things like:
“I’m not confident enough for that.”
“I wouldn’t even know how to pose.”
“I need to lose weight first.”
And honestly… that’s exactly why boudoir matters.
Because it isn’t about being perfect. It isn’t about having the “right” body or knowing what you’re doing in front of a camera.
It’s about seeing yourself in a different way for once.
Why I wanted a dedicated studio
When I started thinking seriously about offering more boudoir sessions, I knew I wanted a space that felt comfortable and private.
Boudoir can feel vulnerable, especially if it’s your first time doing something like that. The environment matters a lot.
I didn’t want women worrying about who might walk in, or feeling rushed, or feeling like they had to hide.
I wanted a place where someone could walk in, take a breath, and just relax.
Somewhere warm.
Somewhere welcoming.
Somewhere that felt safe.
That’s what this studio is meant to be.
What I want women to feel when they come in
More than anything, I want this to feel like a space where women can just be themselves.
No pressure.
No expectations.
No “you have to look like this.”
Just come as you are.
Most people who book a boudoir session tell me they’re nervous beforehand. That’s completely normal. But once the session starts, that nervous energy usually turns into laughter, confidence, and a lot of “okay wait… this is actually fun.”
My job isn’t just to take photos. It’s to guide you through the whole experience so you don’t have to worry about posing or what to do.
You just show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
Why I call it The Unfiltered
When I started thinking about what I wanted boudoir to represent in my work, the word that kept coming to mind was real.
Real confidence.
Real moments.
Real people.
That’s where The Unfiltered came from.
These sessions aren’t about trying to be someone you’re not. They’re about embracing the version of yourself that already exists.
And honestly, that version is usually a lot stronger and more beautiful than we give ourselves credit for.
If you’ve ever thought about doing a boudoir session
If boudoir has ever crossed your mind but you’ve talked yourself out of it, you’re not alone.
Almost every woman who books one tells me she was nervous beforehand.
And almost every woman tells me afterward that she’s really glad she did it.
Not just because of the photos, but because of how it made her feel.
Opening this studio is a new chapter for Chasing The Views, and I’m really excited about what’s ahead.
This space was created with a lot of intention, and I can’t wait to see the stories that unfold here.
And if you’ve ever been curious about boudoir — even just a little — maybe this is your sign to explore it.
You might surprise yourself.
