KAREN D PHOTOGRAPHY
LOS ANGELES BOUDOIR & BEAUTY PORTRAITS
Photography to empower, uplift, and support women,
by encouraging self-love and acceptance.
THE EXPERIENCE
It's ok to love yourself — mind, body, and soul — all of you, and if you’re not quite there yet, that’s ok, too. No matter where you are on the journey to self-love, your boudoir experience will either transform the way you view your body, or will simply add to your already rocking self-esteem.
From the moment you reach out for your LA boudoir photoshoot, to the moment you have your albums and wall-art in-hand, I will be there to guide you through your luxury boudoir experience. We'll begin with a pre-photoshoot consultation, and follow up with what to bring and wear. On the day of, you'll get pampered by an expert hair and makeup artist so you feel your most fabulous. I'll guide you through the best poses for your figure, while we have a great time in the studio, culminating with the most empowering and transformative experience and photographs.
While some people would describe boudoir photographs as ‘sexy photos’, this experience is really about empowerment. Whether you feel empowered wearing knee-high socks and a sweater, or wearing nothing but your birthday suit, we’ll rock any look! If you want to start with a sweater and work your way to nothing but your bare skin, that’s perfectly fine, too. This experience is for YOU—come as you are, and as you’d like to be seen.
Boudoir photographs are simply an expression of self-love
In a society that profits from unrealistic standards and unrealistic
expectations, dare to be unapologetically real. Unapologetically YOU.

"I decided to do a boudoir photoshoot because I was the overweight kid that everybody made fun of in junior high. I’ve since then lost over 30 pounds, but for the longest time still saw myself as the chubby girl--the mental part still needed fixing. I have recently come into my own and I am learning to love my body a little more day by day. To do a boudoir photoshoot is to be vulnerable, which is scary but I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m happy Karen was able to capture that!”
-Mariah
"I truly could embrace my womanhood, my body and love every inch of myself without giving a second thought as to what others would think. The experience was much more powerful than I had initially thought it would be and I truly thank Karen for being so supportive and encouraging throughout the process!”
-Kiley
"At first I was super nervous. Regardless of how I felt inside, Karen always assured me that I was doing great. She kept me comfortable the entire time and even though we just met, I felt completely like myself around her. Karen did a great job directing me--Towards the end of the shoot I was walking around completely naked! I felt empowered and for once good about myself. I absolutely enjoyed the shoot and highly recommend that if you are not feeling your best to take a chance and give it a shot. Thank you Karen for an amazing shoot! So professional, yet so personable.”
