In her own words…

“My mom was my best friend who I talked to every single day (I lived in Vegas; she lived in CA). She unexpectedly passed away in February 2015. In September 2015, I finally decided to get my life together to lose weight to have a better life and be healthy. I have lost 160 lbs since then and this photoshoot was a celebration of that, along with turning 35 years old, and loving life. I chose the date for the shoot as that was my mom's birthday. She would have LOVED the idea of the photoshoot and would have been right there with me if she were here. This photoshoot meant so much to me and I can't tell you enough how much I love the pictures and how great it was working with you both.

Grace and Lace Boudoir is life-changing!!! I found them, via Instagram, and fell in love with their photography. Decided as a birthday present to myself to book a session. I was amazed by the professionalism of Jeni and Sarah and how they both make you feel at home and gorgeous! I had the best time and am looking forward to booking more sessions in the future! No experience is necessary. Hair and makeup are done for you and you're told (and showed) exactly how to pose!”

A common objection I hear from women over 40 about having a boudoir session done is their age. I think women remember themselves when they were younger and feel like a boudoir session is something that should have been done in their 20’s or 30’s thus buying into the myth that boudoir is only for younger women. Pshhh. I beg to differ… Age doesn’t matter when it comes to beauty.

Sure, we might not look or feel like we did in our 20’s, but guess what? We have had time to know our bodies (yep, I’m lumping myself in this, too). We already know how to look great and how to feel sexy. A boudoir session is just a way to bring that confidence back out into the spotlight!

Whether you’re looking to celebrate a milestone birthday or spice up an anniversary or birthday, boudoir is the perfect way to bring that confidence out.

This gorgeous gal, while needing to remain anonymous because of her job, is a stunner who is in her 60’s. She came and she conquered it!

“Getting old is a privilege, an art, a gift. Accumulating gray hairs, pulling the pages off of the calendar, and celebrating birthdays should always be a reason for happiness. Happiness for life and everything it means to be here.”

We are firm believers that all women are beautiful – and WE LOVE giving our clients an experience where they can see themselves in a new light and celebrate themselves. We don’t share before and afters to show how different you can look for your session or to insinuate that you are not enough in your day to day look - the reason why we share these is that we hear over and over again from women who say, ‘I could never look like that’… Ummm, YES YOU CAN! Our boudoir clients come from all over and they are everyday women just like you – of all ages, all shapes and sizes, and from all walks of life. These women ARE YOU!

We also believe that you are in control of the entire shoot. You have a say in how you would like your makeup - you’ll let us know when you fill out your questionnaire by choosing from below (multiple answers are allowed, too ;)

Natural (Freckles are still visible, minimal eye makeup, neutral lip color)

Natural with a touch of sexy (Soft glam with glowy skin and a soft smokey eye; almost bridal like makeup)

Full Glam (Sultry smokey eye, glowy contoured skin, bronzed)

Dramatic (Sultry smokey eye, contoured face with a dramatic lip)

I have no idea, I trust the makeup artist
