She's Kind of a Hidden GEM | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Precious gems (just like this babe) are profoundly buried in the earth and can only be extracted at the expense of great labor. The labor of self- love is a heavy one indeed! We're often told to love ourselves, but it's easier said than done. Self-love is our secret weapon to living a fulfilling life!

Sumar wanted “to gain her confidence and love herself again!” - Challenge Accepted and Mission Complete! So excited to share not only some of her stunning images from her session but some of her thoughts on her boudoir experience!

Pottery Wheel Photoshoot | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

It has been a long time dream of mine to photograph a messy pottery wheel boudoir session - I blame it on my youthful days watching Ghost with my Grandma! SWAYZEE FOREVERRRRR!!!!!! So I was THRILLED when Jackie agreed to haul her wheel over to the studio for her session.

It's Witch Craft - Limited Edition Halloween Set | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

OOOOHHH YOU GUYS! This group seance session in the Limited Edition Halloween Set turned out even better than I ever imagined. These witchy babes came and made MAGIC ya’ll!

Halloween Boudoir Photoshoot - Limited Edition Session | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Have you heard?? Today is Miss Kaylie’s BIRTHDAY!!! What better way to celebrate than with a Boo-doir session. That’s totally a thing ya’ll! It’s actually quite nostalgic that Kaylie came in yesterday to model in the Limited Edition Halloween Set for me LIVE in the Facebook VIP group!

Today is also our friendversary!!! I met Kaylie 3 years ago when she booked a Daredevil Experience for her birthday! We have become great friends over the years and have worked together many times since then!

If you missed the LIVE shoot, I linked the replay down below! Go check it out!

Witchy Boudoir Session - Halloween Limited Edition Photoshoot | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I am pretty dang excited about this year’s Limited Edition Halloween set design! One of my ambassador’s, Kaylie, gifted me this magnificent 7ish foot coffin that is absolutely perfect for these sessions! My bestie, Stew, and I put our brain juice together to create this amazing set! Once the coffin was added, everything else kind of fell into place. *pssst - she is also the brains behind adding the wall of black curtains to the studio space and it has been a GAME CHANGER even for regular sessions.

Intimate Maternity Photoshoot | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

An intimate boudoir session might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are expecting and looking to capture this incredible moment in your life, however, I can’t recommend it enough. To me, boudoir, isn’t just about sexy imagery and vibes -though let’s be honest, we all know that’s how you got here, right?! ;) Boudoir photography to me is more about intimacy, vulnerability, and celebrating the person you are right now. When you think of it in those terms, really - it’s a perfect fit for a maternity session!!

LIVE PHOTOSHOOT | Luxury Wings with Kaylie - Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Awhile back, I hosted another LIVE photoshoot in the Facebook VIP group. My gorgeous Boudiebassador, Kaylie, came back in to model for the session. You guys have really been loving the Luxury Wings I added to the closet last fall so this was the perfect opportunity to show them off even further.

LIVE PHOTOSHOOT | Kitchen Set with Ashley - Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Quite some time ago (Fall 2020 to be exact eep), I invited my Boudiebassador, Ashley, to come back in the studio to shoot another LIVE session for the VIP Group! Did you catch it?

This time we opted for the kitchen set! Ashley is a baker by trade so the kitchen set was oh so fitting for her! I am all for making a mess in the kitchen! We incorporated flour, cocktails, and ice cubes for a fun touch to her images.

Patriotic Boudoir Photoshoot | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I shared a couple of images this week from Miss Alena’s session on my social media accounts and everyone RAVED about how stunning she looked in this red teddy. We are all crazy about her idea to incorporate a military flag in the laundry line to personalize her session.

LIVE PHOTOSHOOT - Laundry Line with Kaylie | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I am back today with another session that I photographed LIVE in the VIP group with Miss Kaylie. This time we headed outdoors to the Laundry Line Set. With Summer in full swing, I have been spending a lot of time photographing babes outside during their session. While it has been hotter than a mug out there - the results are always well worth the sweat!

LIVE PHOTOSHOOT - Bedroom Set with Kendra | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Last fall, during my 60 days of lives event in the VIP group on Facebook, I had Miss Kendra come back in to shoot a set LIVE with me! I love being able to do live photoshoots to give you all a behind the scenes look at what it is like to have a session with me! The feedback that I have received is that this takes some of the pressure away from booking a session since you get to see how much direction I will give during the shoot. It is never as scary as it seems!

Turning Our Back to Insecurities | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

The inspiration for this photoshoot actually hit me several years ago while I was scrolling Pinterest. Bits and pieces of inspiration over the following years added up to what we created over the weekend.

Our message?

To turn our backs on negativity, insecurities and the pressures that society puts on us to live a certain way.
To accept ourselves as we are and focus on self love through healing and personal growth.
To open our heart to positivity and self love.

Messy Kitchen Boudoir Session | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Neon Bondage Boudoir | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

This whole boudoir session is a FUCKING MOOD ya’ll! I have never been a gal to shy away from color, and this neon bedroom set oozes with delicious hues! I love the way the neon lights and blue satin sheets play with Kaylie’s vibrant locks! We decided to really play up the colorful vibes of this set by styling her in a fun pink 3 piece set she brought in (from Shein if you are curious). Red heels keep things spicy, yet playful.

Vintage Vixen | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I am so excited to share this next session with you! I had so much fun during Mykael’s boudoir session! I love adding a little bit of personality to sessions to make them unique. With the 4th set added to the Daredevil Experience, we were able to capture a ton of variety for her to choose from at the Reveal and Ordering Appointment.

LIVE PHOTOSHOOT - Candlelight Set with Stephanie | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

One thing since returning that I would love to focus on more is shooting LIVE in the Facebook VIP group for you guys. I have gotten such positive feedback each time I photograph a set LIVE in the group. It gives you a behind the scenes look and many of you have expressed that it is very helpful so you know what to expect in a session with Divulged!

KU Fan in an MU household | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

I have to admit. When Heather mentioned she wanted to rep her team in her Daredevil Experience I was a little conflicted. You see - Heather is a KU fan…..and this is an MU household. Could I set my team bias aside and honor her wishes?!…..

Of course I could!!! This is a judgment free zone and we don’t yuck someone else’s yum around here! ;)

All joking aside - Heather freaking killed her session! She had killer outfit choices and legs fo dayyyyys.

Sultry Gazes and Pouty Lips | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Amber brought the friggin’ HEAT for her session. This girl was busting out the sultry gazes and pouty lips doin’ the damn thing! I love that Amber came in to do this session as a boost in confidence for herself. She is an absolutely stunning mama and ridiculously funny!
