Boudoir Photography Panama City, FL
Welcome to a whole new way of seeing yourself…
I know how much courage it probably took just to land on this page.
The good news? The scary part is over.
Everything else is going to be fun. As your Panama City boudoir photographer, I will hold your hand through literally every step. Let me talk you through it…
This could be you!
Yes, seriously! I know you might not see yourself like this, but you are that girl (even if your usual look is sweatpants, a baggy tee, and a messy bun). Give me an hour of your time & trust, and I’ll show you.
You don’t have to change a thing about yourself to be “ready” for a boudoir session.
There’s no such thing as a “boudoir-ready body.” You are enough, just as you are right now.
Can I tell you something a little bit vulnerable?
I never dreamed of being a boudoir photographer.
I’m Bri. Photography is my passion. I offer photography services to capture any and all those personal life moments: engagements, weddings, family events, and everything in between. But on a deeper level, I love making women feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful through boudoir photography. We all deserve to feel that way!
I’m going to be honest with you, though… I had to go through my own body positivity journey to get to this point. I used to feel confused about boudoir photography — why would anybody do that? It sounded way too vulnerable, and I just didn’t quite get it.
Now, I know it’s about empowerment, beauty, and self-worth. Whatever makes you want to do a session — a special occasion, a life transition, a gift for your spouse, a gift yourself — you deserve to feel safe and comfortable in your body. You deserve to feel safe and comfortable with your photographer.
I’d be honored to be that person for you.
Boudoir Photography Locations
My clients come to me for boudoir photography from several Florida cities and everywhere in between: Panama City, Pensacola, Tallahasse.
“You made me feel so comfortable.”
^This is the most common piece of feedback I get from my boudoir clients. And that really matters. Let me tell you why.
As women, we’re taught so many confusing things.
We should hate our bodies; we should love our bodies. We should lose weight; we should appreciate our natural curves. We should be modest, but we shouldn’t be prude. We should be easy-going; we should take care of the kids and the house and our spouses and the list goes on.
With all of that running through our heads, of course it’s hard to feel sexy, seen, and special.
So when a woman walks away from her experience in front of my lens with her head held higher? When she says, “I didn’t think I could do that, but it was actually really fun?” When she looks at her photos and gasps because she is beautiful? It’s a big deal.
(Pssst. You deserve to feel that way, too.)
“Bri is the most amazing person to work with! She did my boudoir shoot and made the whole experience so comfortable. She helped show me how to pose and had so many fun ideas that turned out so good! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a boudoir photographer!”
- Madison S.
Here’s the secret…
No one thinks they “know how” to do this.
Of course you freakin’ don’t! Boudoir photography is a first for most people.
It’s my job to guide you through every single pose, breath, and outfit (and to make the whole thing feel natural and fun — chocolate breaks included).
But there’s also more to it than that. I would never expect you to show up and just feel comfortable taking clothes off in front of a stranger. Before we ever meet in person, we’ll talk through how you feel about this, why you’re interested in boudoir, outfit ideas, expectations, and even our favorite trash tv shows (mine’s the Bachelor). Here’s how the whole experience works…
01: We get to know each other.
Once you fill out my inquiry form, we hop on a call so we can connect in real life and establish trust. You can ask me any questions you have, tell me all about how nervous/excited you are, and I’ll walk you through the whole process so you can decide if it’s right for you. If it’s not, no pressure — this call is just to chat about the possibility.
02: I want to know what I can do to make this experience amazing, safe, and comfortable for you.
If you decide to book, I’ll send over a big questionnaire to learn what you want to get out of the experience, what you picture in your head when you think about your images, and what this experience means to you. If you want to feature a special item, like a particular lingerie set, a wedding veil, or your spouse’s favorite jersey, we can absolutely do that.
03: We have a planning appointment to talk out all the deets.
We’ll go through my style guide, pick out outfits, talk about the vibe of your photos, and dive deeper into what you hope to see in your images. I’ll tell you how to prepare for your session (hint: it’s all about doing what makes you comfortable), we’ll get your hair and makeup booked, and we’ll talk about what level of dressing down you’re comfortable with. Full nudity or partial nudity are both totally okay. No matter what, you can trust that your images will be classy, beautiful, and timeless.
04: Get glammed (if you want to).
Hair and makeup are included in all of my boudoir sessions, but they’re also totally optional. Whether you want to rock a styled look or a natural look, your photos will be beautiful. If you do decide on glam, you’ll get your hair and makeup done before you head to my home studio.
05: The BEST part.
By the time you meet me at my home studio, you’ll already know exactly what we’re going to do, and you and I will already feel comfortable with each other. (Nerves are still totally normal though, if you feel ‘em.) I’ll talk you through breathing techniques, how to pose, and even what face to make during your photos. We’ll start out in a garment that makes you feel comfortable, like a big button down, a nightgown, or a cardigan. As we move through your shoot, you’ll come out of your shell, step into your confidence, and you won’t be able to stop smiling (seriously, it’s fun.) We’ll move through your outfit changes, and we can always take breaks for water, chocolate.
06: The part where you say, “That’s me?!” Girl, yes it’s you.
Bring a mug of tea and your favorite snack. We’ll hop on a virtual ordering appointment together, so you can see all of your images and let me know which ones you’d like to order. Once you choose a collection, I’ll take care of printing your photos in the highest possible quality and mailing them to your home. You’ll receive a stunning heirloom to keep and remember for the rest of your life. (“Remember the time I did a boudoir session?! That was so brave of me.”)
I’d have questions too, if I were you!
Let me give you some answers.
“I don’t know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera.” +
Girl, that’s MY job. I will never leave you hanging. I completely understand that you’re in a vulnerable position, which is why I will take extra care to guide you through every single pose, down to the facial expressions, pointed toes, and breathing techniques.
“Will you retouch my images?” +
I’m happy to retouch your images to help you feel like your best self, or to keep them natural if you’re in a place where you feel you can embrace your natural look. This experience is about what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
“I don’t love certain things about my body. Is that okay?” +
Of course it’s okay. There’s a myth that you have to love every square inch of your body to do a boudoir session. You don’t. I’ll ask you in your questionnaire which parts of your body you want me to accentuate, which (if any parts) you’d like to avoid showcasing, and which (if any) parts you might even want me to retouch.
“Tell me about the studio!” +
The studio is in my home. It’s full of beautiful, natural light, luxurious, clean linens, and different backdrops we can play with. We can create images that are dark and moody, bright and natural, or somewhere in between.
“Will you help me decide what to wear?” +
Abso-freakin-lutely. We’ll talk about this as much or as little as you want during your planning appointment. You can share images of potential outfits, we can go online shopping together, or you can decide for yourself (you have great style.) You’re also welcome to browse my client closet (before the session starts).
ALL BODIES ARE WELCOME, HERE.
No matter what your body looks like, you deserve to feel beautiful and confident.
And trust me when I say: you are beautiful. You can do this.
If you’ve read this far, and you’re still on the fence, I have one piece of advice for you:
Just show up.
Show up for yourself.
Show up for the little girl who didn’t know if she was pretty.
Show up for all of the times you felt like it was vain or selfish to care about how you look. (There’s nothing selfish about wanting to feel confident and beautiful.)
Show up because you deserve a little luxury in your life!
Show up because you deserve to see yourself as the radiant, stunning woman everyone else sees.
The first step is as simple as answering a few questions.
Ready to feel like your most beautiful, confident self?
I can’t wait. Let’s do this:
