GIRLS BOUDOIR WEEKEND AT THE ESTABLISHMENT // PALM SPRINGS, C

Something that we’re most proud of when it comes to the boudoir division of Rachel Oxford Collective is the community of women we’ve created. Clients have become friends - not only with us, but with each other too - and so our boudoir session days occasionally become entire boudoir session trips, one of the most recent ones being to Palm Springs, CA.

DARLIN X BRIGHT EYES MESSY HAIR // HOLIDAY 2023

it’s our second year shooting Darlin’s holiday collection and it’s always such a special collaboration!
we shot at Madison Country Club in Nashville which is seriously the cutest, girliest space for photos + this year we pulled our girl Timber Rose in - not only is she a familiar face at Darlin, she’s also a costume designer and burlesque dancer in the Rainbow Room Review at legendary Skulls downtown <3

welcome to the wild west: cowboy themed boudoir | Utah Boudoir ft Amangiri

driving through mountains you’ve never seen, getting a little lost trying to find your airbnb, wonder if you’re going to literally die because you didn’t pack long johns and you forgot you’d be sleeping basically outside one night in a canyon under the stars in 35-degree weather, etc etc, experiencing that feeling of newness that we lose a little, the older and wiser we get.

so to celebrate all of these things, to love on myself a little, and to pay homage to the landscape….
i figured a lil bit of mildly-western-cowboy-themed boudoir wouldn’t hurt.

Because I finally had the opportunity to share what I do in the world of boudoir without having to hold anything back.

BACKYARD BOUDOIR // SUMMER MINIS // FEATURING COOKIE KENDALL + NELSON HOLLIMAN

Boudoir photography does not have to be confined to a pretty, perfectly staged bedroom.
In fact, I would say as someone who shoots it for a living, it can be wildly refreshing to take your sexy ass outside for a change. That’s what inspired this summer’s boudoir mini sessions, which were held right in my own backyard.

WELCOME TO BOUDOIR - MY EXPERIENCE // NASHVILLE BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER

Boudoir has a reputation.
Sometimes it’s met with enthusiasm, or eyerolls, or reluctance and borderline trepidation. And I get it - because I used to kind of roll my eyes at it too. I’d see random boudoir photos pop up on Pinterest .. super kitschy, usually poor quality photography and editing (how these images always show up first I’ll never understand). And honestly I compared it to glorified glamour shots at the mall back in the day, and how are you supposed to find any “self-love” in that?? Just sounded like a cheesy pitch to me.
