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.
