You might not believe me when I tell you this, but these two outdoor locations are inside the belt line in Raleigh.  The inside of this magnolia tree is so magical… if it were in my yard the inside would be it’s own hangout spot.  I love doing outdoor boudoir shoots but it is always tricky finding a location that is private and secluded, with permission for us to shoot there, with something for us to work with visually.  This bride-to-be was brave and trusted that we were in locations that were private.  Plus you can always remind yourself that there are bikinis that cover less than your lingerie, right?  One thing I hear often with bride-to-bes is that they have been working out to be in good shape for their weddings, so why not capture their hard work in a boudoir shoot.  This sweet bride-to-be said she was making her trainer proud by doing this shoot – in the end I know it she had made herself proud too!
