Client Testimonial

See what Shannon had to say about her session:

“This was my first and only boudoir session ever:))) I wanted to mark an era of time turning 53 and go out of my comfort zone. I had in the last year battled the lovely Menopause and gained 25 lbs along with that. I took 5 months of some serious changes to achieve some personal goals and reached them. The session was to mark that and I was hoping to gain a better perspective to love myself in my body rather than continue to feel self conscious of all it’s been through. We are our worst critics they say but I think I’m probably the worst~lol. I did go into it hoping to have a small album made for someone special IF I liked what I looked like.

I had known two women who went through Kimberly Ann but only after I had already reached out to her and when I messaged her we connected right away and she made me feel SO comfortable it was simply the easiest and best decision EVER!!!

I had no expectations as I had already promised myself I wouldn’t get nervous or overthink it, and just allow myself to enjoy and completely be free. That being said, it’s still hard to just jump right in but let me say Kimberly has a way of making you feel like it’s by far the most natural thing and she made me feel like a rockstar doing it! It was so empowering I think every woman should do this at least once in their life to appreciate who we truly are and love ourselves. She made me feel beautiful inside and out~truly.

I loved ALL OF IT… from the beginning to being pampered with hair and makeup, to following her cues for the photos and most definitely the follow up photo reveal when Kimberly stopped me in my tracks and showed me the beauty she captured. I had for so long held an image in my head and that’s what I always saw and fought but during the photo reveal and having her walk me through each picture she opened my eyes and I gained that perspective I had hoped for to appreciate me rather than compare myself to what society says is supposed to be. And the best is I look at the photos daily to remind myself and it is beyond my own vocabulary to find the words to express what this has done for me. I now see MYSELF and I have to say I’m proud to be me now.”

Three things to avoid at your Boudoir shoot….

The pre-boudoir panic: We’ve all been there.  

You’re excited and you’ve booked your boudoir appointment…but the moment you put down the phone you have a million questions. WHAT NEXT!?

The first thing you need to know is Kimberly will help you each step of the way and you will receive tips and tricks and how to prepare information prior to your session. Second, confidence is your first key to success. A confident woman is a beautiful woman and Kimberly will help you with confidence throughout your entire experience. And while you might feel like you’re going to botch the whole thing, here’s what you can do to rock your shoot and look like the glam goddess you are.

1. Choose your outfits carefully
Flowy lingerie, like babydoll negligees, may seem gorgeous on the hanger, but when it comes to your photoshoot you should stay as far away from them as possible. Not only can these have an unflattering effect on your body, they’re much harder for your photographer (me) to retouch. If you accidentally bring one, don’t worry, I’ll just be sure to tie it back.

2.  Please Eat Before Your Session
One of the biggest mistakes that women make when they book a boudoir photoshoot is to starve themselves in order to make it ‘work.’ Honey, the only thing you need to make work is your bad-ass bod. You might not think it, but posing is a lot of effort and you’ll be burning calories the whole shoot. Believe me, the last thing you want is to have to end early because your blood sugar drops.

3. You Don’t need to hit the gym 7 days a week or crash diet
You don’t need to start working out five times a day because you scheduled a photoshoot. The real beauty of boudoir is up to the photographer and heavily depends on lighting, angles, and poses. That’s why it’s an art form. Take my advice and avoid the drama; I can make you look better than you would after 6 months in the gym.

Whatever you choose to bring to your photoshoot, remember that boudoir is as much about highlighting your inner beauty as it is your outer. Follow these three rules and you’ll be well on your way to making the absolute most of your photoshoot. For any further questions, feel free to reach out to me at hello@kimberlyannphotography.com

Have You Already Had a Not So Great Boudoir Shoot?

Already Had a (not so great) Boudoir Shoot?- It’s Time to Give It Another Shot.

When you book a boudoir photoshoot, you’re putting a lot of trust into the hands of your photographer. Not only are you entrusting them with your dreams of how your photos will turn out, but it’s taking up a whole lot of courage to show off your sexy self.
If the final images aren’t everything you ever dreamed of, it’s totally fair to be disappointed. You might even feel a little bit betrayed. But don’t let that stop you from trying boudoir again! Whatever the reason for your photos not being everything you wanted, you should give boudoir photography another shot. Here’s why:

1. Experienced hands will always win One of the most common reasons that people find themselves not loving their photography is because the photographer they’ve paired with is under experienced. There’s nothing wrong with getting a fun photoshoot from a photographer who is just starting out, but the rule holds true: You get what you pay for. Make sure you do your research on how long a photographer has been in the industry if you want to get the most out of your shoot.
2. You deserve to have photos you love When it comes down to it, you deserve to have photos you l-o-v-e. A great way to gauge what you’re signing up for is to take a look at the portfolio of the photographer you’re looking to hire. Is she/he consistent in her/his work? Is this the kind of sessions/photos you picture for yourself? Read recommendations, testimonials, and make sure they all line up with what you’re looking for.
3. Getting back on the horse is healthy Remember that initial excitement when you booked your first boudoir session? You can have that again! Throw those terrible photos in the fire if you need to. Nobody needs to know. Getting back in the game is a part of being a healthy, happy, beautiful woman and we’re here to support you along the way.
4. Teamwork makes the dream work At KAP Boudoir we have an amazing team that will make you glow even more than you already do before you even step foot in front of our camera. From makeup to hair, it’s our mission to bring out that inner glow that’s been hidden within. When you’re looking for a new boudoir photographer make sure they’re going to treat you like the goddess you are.
5. Do it for YOU, not for him There’s a myth going around that you should do this for him and that’s BS. Do it for YOU and IF you have a him in your life, let him think it’s for you. But, it should be for YOU and he’s just the bonus. When it comes down to it, boudoir is about YOU feeling beautiful, inside and out.

No matter why you found your first boudoir experience to be less than amazing, we’re happy you found us and would be honored to work with you to show you how amazing you are.

Here what Ms. S had to say about her photo session with Kimberly {Wisconsin and Illinois Boudoir Photographer}

“I really loved it. It gave me another level of comfort and confidence in myself. Also it definitely made me want to do more photos again!”

Make-up: Bloom By Kerry

Kimberly Ann Photography is located in East Troy, WI in Southeastern WI. Feel free to contact us by filling contact form at the bottom of this post, email Kimberly directly at kimberlyannphotography@yahoo.com or call 262-492-3893. 💕

1) Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If yes, how did your shoot with Kimberly compare to your prior experience?

Yes I had done one before. KAP was far more involved and far more of a professional setting/situation. I loved that I wasn’t in and out in 20 minutes. It was over 2 hours and it was all very comfortable, not rushed and I loved that she had her own outfit ideas beyond what was brought. 

2) What was your own personal reason for wanting to have a boudoir session? Was your session a gift for anyone special, or just for yourself?

I did it for myself, but also as a big gift for my husband for Christmas and it worked out PERFECTLY. 

3) Why did you choose Kimberly Ann Photography for your boudoir experience?

I saw her post about the Body Love project and wanted to try to sign up because I, like so many others, am not physically happy with myself but wanted to see myself in another light. 

4) How did your session with Kimberly Ann Photography differ from what you were expecting before entering our studio?

I didn’t know what to expect in all honesty. But it was refreshing to do so many poses and outfits and not feel rushed!

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir experience?

Definitely seeing my photos. I loved that the most. It gave me a sense of relief when I looked at them and didn’t immediately want to pick myself apart like I do regularly. 

6) Other than beautiful photos, of course, what else did you take away from your boudoir experience? What type of impact did it have on you?

I really loved it. It gave me another level of comfort and confidence in myself. Also it definitely made me want to do more photos again!

And This Too Shall Pass…

I hope this blog post finds you doing well and you and your family are safe and healthy. I’m sure a lot of you are juggling multiple roles and responsibilities that you never expected. If you are a parent of a school aged child you are now learning how to homeschool. If you are still working an essential business you are probably working longer and harder hours as well as homeschooling if you are a parent. It certainly is a crazy time right now.

I know how hard emotionally and mentally and even physically this can be for all of you. And myself as a small business owner who has been forced to close, life has definitely thrown a curve ball at us. As the impact of COVID-19 grows my top priority is the well-being of my family, my team and our continued ability to serve our clients. With that said, I just want to share with all of you the steps we are taking in the studio to ensure the safety of everyone.

  1. The studio is currently closed thru April 30th, 2020. All of our April sessions have been rescheduled in order to give this chaos time to pass.
  2. The studio has been thoroughly disinfected and will be again before re-opening. All wardrobe and bedding has been run through a hot wash and also new bedding has already been purchased.
  3. Moving forward we will implement mandatory hand washing once entering the studio.
  4. We will be monitoring dates closely and if the “stay at home” order is extended passed April 30th and you have a session coming up within the new timeframe, please know that I will be in touch and we will reschedule your session for a future 2020 date with zero rescheduling fees applied.
  5. Myself and Mary Ann along with our families and our hair and makeup artists are all following the social distancing guidelines. We may all be going a little stir crazy, but at least we are safe and healthy.
  6. We will continue to keep an eye on the situation and make further adjustments to our action plan if and when necessary. The health and well-being of our clients, team, and community are of utmost importance to us and will continue to be our north star as we navigate the road ahead.
  7. In addition to these steps, we will be monitoring the latest information including recommendations from the CDC and World Health Organization and doing our part to stop the spread of this disease. 

I also would just like to let you know that we are still open for future sessions and ladies, I know you’ll need a little me time, a little pampering when this is all said and done. So book your future 2020 session NOW. No need to wait. Get on our summer or fall schedule now. Click here to schedule your FREE NO OBLIGATION phone consultation. I’d love to talk with you and tell you exactly what a day of pampering can do for you.

Please do not hesitate to contact me by either scheduling a phone call above or even simply fill out the contact form below.

Stay safe and stay healthy. Much love, Kimberly and Mary Ann
