One of the first things your significant other might say when they open the album, keepsake box with photos, or whatever amazing gift you got for him/her is…. “who took these?” My husband did! Well, just send him/her this post!

Here’s a little bit about me, and why I take boudoir photos and love it!

Are you a lesbian?

Let’s just get right to it. lol Nope! I am happily married to a man, and super attracted to him. That maybe one of the reasons I do not do “dudoir” (dude-boudoir) because that will be sexual to me, and in my opinion not okay to do as a married person.

Think of it as going to the doctors – are you okay with your significant other going to the doctors and getting her breasts examined? I hope so! It’s just like that. What I do is completely professional, and I am there to make your significant other look her best in front of my camera, and take gorgeous photographs.

I was brainstorming what other questions you may have, but this might be it… Just in case you want to know more, read on. 🙂

Where do you take your pictures?

I do not have a studio, but I basically go anywhere my clients want me to. I do have studio rental space that’s available all over the Bay Area, and may rent a space for my photo sessions. So, I may take the photos outside or at a studio. I never take photos at my home, or I rarely ever go to client’s home.

What do you do with my significant other’s photos?

It depends on what she wanted. For the most part, I do not share boudoir images online unless I have explicit consent from the client or model. I do use models for most of my marketing materials, and even then, I make sure the model says I could use it.

I especially do not share any topless/nude photos anywhere. As you can see on my website, most of my images do not show anymore than when someone is wearing a bikini!

As for all of my photos, any photos that a client purchases are sent via a secure, password protected online gallery where she can download, share with you, or order prints and products. Images not purchased are deleted.

What if she gave consent to share and I want it taken down/deleted?

I respect my clients wishes and agreement with me. Please talk to her and have her contact me if that’s the decision SHE made. I am happy to take down any photos, any time, as long as that’s the decision she made.

More about Emily

I am a mom of 2 boys, wife to an amazing husband, full time attorney, and part time photographer. I photograph families, babies, couples, and yes – women in general! I love to capture women in every stages of life. I believe photos are a keepsake of a memory and who you are, that lasts beyond a lifetime. Every image should be a celebration of how amazing someone is, captured in 1/350-1/2000 second at a time. How cool is that? Feel free to check out my general photography website to learn more about me and what I do.

Now that you know that it wasn’t a total creeper who took your significant other’s photos, I hope you enjoy them, and cherish them forever. My husband still has photos of me that I gave him for our 1 year anniversary in his wallet. It’s the sweetest thing.
