Sometimes it's nice to let the photos speak for themselves. We're loving the way our new backdrop gives us kind of a classic oil painting look. It doesn't hurt that Miss B is an absolute stunner! Thank you for letting us share some of your images. You should check out how beautiful she looks in the photos below too!
H, stands for Harley Quinn in case you're wondering. We don't get to shoot too many costumes, so I was really excited when she pulled out this awesome Harley Quinn get-up! We love Halloween here at Roar Boudoir, so this definitely got us into the holiday spirit. Mrs. H's shoot was a total blast! Thank you so so much for choosing Roar Boudoir, and thanks you for allowing us to share some of your images! You are stunning, and we are honored to be able to help show you that!
So you've scheduled a boudoir shoot! How exciting! You've got everything planned and are ready for your shoot when suddenly you realize- You have tan lines. We deal with this a lot, especially in the summer. We are able to minimize a lot of tan lines in our editing process. Although It's easier and looks more natural to deal with it before your shoot. Tan line happen to the best of us, even Paige who religiously wears SPF 55 everyday. We've got a few tips on what to do about them.
Tan lines aren't always an issue! The client above had tan lines in the shoulder area, and we still think the image is beautiful!
This may seem counterproductive, but sometime's it's a good idea just to embrace your body. A lot of people find tan lines super sexy. We here to cater to what you think the best version of you looks like! If you love your tan lines, we love your tan lines! Our post production techniques often have the benefit of softening the edge of tan lines in your finished photos.
Most of our clients schedule their boudoir shoot two months out. That's plenty of time to repair and diminish any sunburn or tan you've got. Wear SPF daily, exfoliate, and limit your sun exposure. If you're concerned about tan lines, best not to schedule your beach vacation the week before your shoot. That is unless it's a nude beach and you can get bronze, sans lines. If you're worried about not being tan enough for your shoot, let me reassure you that's never an issue. You will look amazing on your shoot day no matter the shade of your skin!
So despite all your best efforts you somehow managed to get tan lines before your shoot. It's alright! If you've got some time there's nothing a little exfoliating, moisturizing, and gradual self tanner can't help. Focus your exfoliate near the edges of you tan line. Gradually build the self tanner color over a couple of days. Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly after application.
When all else fails, pick outfits for your boudoir shoot that will minimize or completely hide your tan lines. If your bathing suit is a bandeau top, try a bandeau style bra. Work one of our feather boas or fur stoles to hide your problem area. There are so many creative draping techniques we can use!
Sometimes you've just gotta let a pro handle it. Getting a spray tanner to even out your tan lines is a wonderful option. Two studios comes highly recommended to us! Consult with them on the best time and methods on dealing with your tan lines. Let them know that Roar Boudoir recommended you!

Skye came in last month for a barebones session. It's a great budget option if you aren't able to book a marathon date. Skye was amazing in the short time we got her, and double amazing when we found out she had recently given birth to her beautiful son! No matter what stage of life you're in - you're body is beautiful and awe inspiring! Ready for some stunning photos?
Thank you so much Skye! You're beautiful!
Rebecca contacted us after seeing our interview over at Cincinnati Refined. She was such a joy to work with and so easy to shoot. Like most of our clients she was nervous before her shoot, but said we made her feel at ease from the get go. She told us that she had wished boudoir photography had been something that was an option when she was younger, but I commend her for booking with us now! Just remember, your body is beautiful now, wherever you're at. We just want to help you see that! Thank you so much Rebecca for letting us photograph you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience as much as you did.
So beautiful right? Thanks again Rebecca W. for letting us share some beautiful images from your shoot!
