About A Treasured Moment Photography
Founded in 2019, Ashley, (Founder and owner of A Treasured Moment Photography) has embarked on a journey to place and emphasis and focus in self love, self expression, and self acceptance through boudoir photography. Previously located in Bismarck ND A Treasured Moment is now serving Loveland Co. While I still take family, children, senior, couple/engagement, and maternity sessions, as well as the occasional wedding, I am most passionate about helping people feel beautiful, sexy, and confident in their own skin.
​
Why Boudoir?
I started shooting Boudoir early on in my photography journey: Within the first few months behind the camera my sister-in-law asked if I could do a boudoir session with her as an anniversary gift. I didn't have the the equipment - I didn't have lighting, and I had a beginner model camera. I didn't have the experience - the knowledge of posing or angles. I didn't even have a space set up for that type of shoot. But from the first snaps of the camera I fell in LOVE.
I loved that I was able to capture the natural beauty of my sister, a young women, whom I had known for almost 10 years. I loved that I help her see herself the way others see her; I always knew she was beautiful, and this experienced helped her see it too. I loved that from the first moment I showed her a photo on the back of the camera that she squealed in delight and couldn't believe that the person on the screen was really her! From that moment on, I was hooked!
​
Boudoir quickly became my favorite photography style. If I could help women love their bodies, love themselves, and feel beautiful in the process, this was the type of photography I wanted to focus on. I wanted to be able to offer everyone the chance to have that experience - so I went to work; I learned, I practiced, and I grew as a photographer until I came to where I am now: A Treasured Moment Photograph: Boudoir Specialist.
What can I expect at a boudoir shoot?
At A Treasured Moment Photography I prioritize making each and every boudoir shoot unique and comfortable. I have yet to meet a client who was not at least a little bit nervous at the thought of their first boudoir shoot. However, once we get going, they quickly realize how fun and relaxed these session can be.
​
So what should you expect? First of all, expect a fun time with a photographer who wants to make you look and feel your very best. Everyone, and I mean everyone, feels a little awkward and silly getting into poses and trying to "be sexy." I can promise however, that I will never tell you "be sexy" and give you no further instruction. Expect, instead, a guided photoshoot with working through posing and looks together to give you a great personalized experience.
​
What about outfits? What should I wear?
Boudoir is a personalized experience, everyone's style and personal comfort level is different! Some women feel the most sexy in a matching bra and panties set, others feel good in lingerie, and others may prefer to use their partners shirt or other articles of clothing. No matter what your style, I can guarantee you will look and feel great! Upon booking, you will be sent a boudoir questionnaire so I can find out a little bit more about you and what you are looking for out of your session and photos.
