When Emma reached out about doing another boudoir session, she knew right away that she didn’t want the “usual.” She wanted something adventurous, something that reflected her free spirit — and that’s exactly what we created together with her creekside boudoir session in St. Louis, Missouri. This session was shot by both Joel and me…with most of the vision and execution done by him! He has such an eye for working on location that it amazes me.
We met on one of the hottest days of the summer, but Emma’s energy never wavered. With laughter, playfulness, and plenty of splashing around, she embraced the experience wholeheartedly. The water became the perfect contrast to the heat, and her flowing dress caught the breeze and the light in a way that felt both cinematic and deeply personal.
What made this session so special was Emma’s enthusiasm to do something different. As a St. Louis boudoir photographer, I love working with clients who want to step outside the traditional studio and create something bold, adventurous, and uniquely theirs. Boudoir doesn’t always have to take place indoors — sometimes the most powerful images happen in nature. Whether that means dancing in a creek, exploring the woods around the St. Louis area, or finding a hidden outdoor spot here in Illinois and Missouri, we can create something unforgettable together.
If you’re drawn to the idea of a session like Emma’s — adventurous, unique, and creative — we would love to bring your vision to life. Outdoor boudoir sessions are perfect for those who feel most alive surrounded by nature, and they offer a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate your beauty and confidence.
