Life can often pull us in a thousand directions, leaving little time to truly connect with our partners. For Ms. K and Mr. K, the decision to have a couples boudoir session was about more than just capturing stunning images—it was about reconnecting, celebrating their relationship, and stepping outside of their comfort zone. Their journey from nerves to newfound appreciation for each other reminds us of the beauty that comes from slowing down and being present. Here’s a glimpse into their transformative experience.
What got you guys interested in having a couples boudoir session?
Ms. K: “First it was, I think, my third pregnancy. He really wanted me to do one when I was pregnant, but that did not happen. So then we changed our mind, and I asked him if he wanted to do a couples one, and I went, I came across your profile on one of those social media sites, and I loved your style, and I showed him your pictures, and he was like, let’s do it. And so then we started scheduling.”
Were you nervous at first?
Ms. K: “There was obviously some nerves at first. I was like, Oh, God, I’ve never actually done any or been in any kind of professional photo or anything like that.
Mr. C: “So I was obviously nervous, but then as time had progressed, it was a more like a, let’s just wing it. Go with the flow”
In the planning process prior to it, do you guys do a lot of planning time? Or were you pretty comfortable just sort of walking in and letting us handle that?
Ms. K: “Oh, we 100% planned on you just taking over. I didn’t know what to expect, what to even remotely do? Because I’m sure every photographer style is very different, especially when you’re going into something, so I didn’t really want to have this expectation in my head on what to do, because I didn’t know what to do.”
For the session day, what was the experience like for you two as a couple?
Ms. K: “I was really nervous. I don’t know why, but I was very nervous. I think the last time I got my makeup done and my hair done was for my wedding in 2017 so it was nice just sitting there having my makeup done and my hair done. I really loved the reveal. That was really nice. But I liked having the moment to just sit down and connect with him. Half the time I forgot you were even in the room, just because it was only the three of us. So it was really easy to forget that you were there.”
Mr. C: “It was a very, very well needed reset from everything sometimes get caught up in the day to day, work, life, things happen. Life happens. And so being able to take just that small amount of time, being able to take the take the day, and just reset, reconnect, was very, very much needed.”
Did you guys notice that you sort of saw different things in each other throughout the day as we were progressing through the session?
Ms. K: “I would say yes and no, even just like looking at these pictures, I love that you were able to to, like, capture so many different things that, like, I know that I express, but I don’t always know that it’s coming up. Yeah, yeah. So I’m happy about that, but I don’t know if I’ve noticed anything specific in regards to him, just because I feel like he looks at me the exact same as he did in the futures, just on a day to day, even without, like, all the makeup, yeah and stuff. So yes and no.”
Well, I think it’s really cool to be able to see because you don’t see yourself in that moment, but to be able to see yourself the way your partner is seeing you, yeah? Because it’s like, Oh, wow. I didn’t realize I look like that. Like, okay, yes, the seeing the adoration that you guys have for each other in your eyes, like that, right? There was everything for me. Just, it’s beautiful. It’s so probable. Like, you can look at the image and see that connection, yes,
Ms. K: “I absolutely love those, the ones that I can just like, I can see how much I love him. Like, I know that, and I tell him all the time, but it’s in a picture.”
How did you guys leave feeling after the session?
Ms. K: “Honestly, I felt amazing. I felt like, really connected to him. And just like, like you said, it’s so easy to get lost, especially because we’ve been together for 10 years. We have three kids. We both have full time jobs. It’s so easy to forget your connection to your partner, that this was a nice like, wake up.”
I think it’s beautiful too, because it’s you guys, your intimacy and your connection is the foundation for your family, and that’s like the example you get to share for them. So prioritizing and nurturing your relationship and honoring your intimacy, I think, is huge.
Mr. C: “There’s a lot of times where we don’t have the ability to just exist like this, something going on, something happens, get lost in the sauce.”
Now that you’ve seen your images, what do you think?
Ms. K: “I love them! Choosing was very difficult. If I could, I would have picked every single one of them. That was probably the hardest part. But I absolutely loved them. I loved every single picture, every pose, everything looked amazing.”
Mr. C: “Just seeing how many amazing photos that there were was, it was hard to choose.”
What would you tell a friend that was considering having a couples boudoir session but was on the fence about it?
Ms. K: “Definitely research one that you would feel comfortable with, because I feel like if you’re not comfortable with the vibe of the person, you’re gonna have an awful experience. Thankfully with you, it seems like, after I completely stalked your social media, it seems like the vibe of you as a person really fit with what we would wanted to capture. So it was a lot easier coming into the experience with, like, a more open mind, because we already liked how you were as a person. So if someone wanted to do a couple’s boudoir section, they definitely should. 100% is recommended because it just helps you focus on your partner, especially in the time that you don’t have.”
Mr. C: “I really enjoyed it, very unsure in the beginning, but after the experience, I 100% recommend go and do it. Won’t regret it.”
Ms. K and Mr. C’s couples boudoir session was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of their journey together and a reminder of the strength of their connection. Through their vulnerability, trust, and willingness to embrace the unknown, they rediscovered a deep appreciation for each other. If you’ve ever considered a boudoir session with your partner, let their story inspire you to take the leap. After all, sometimes the most profound moments of connection come from stepping into the unknown and seeing each other in a whole new light.
