Through the Lens | A Peek Behind the Scenes

Hey gorgeous souls!

I am beyond thrilled to share a little sneak peek into the heart and soul of Kimberly Brooke Boudoir through our brand new behind-the-scenes video! For years, I've known the importance of creating this piece to showcase the magic that unfolds during our beauty and boudoir sessions in Houston, TX. After much planning, organizing, and a dash of courage, I finally made it happen, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you all.

As a Houston-based beauty and boudoir photographer, my mission has always been to create a safe and empowering space for women to explore their unique beauty and sensuality. This video is not just a glimpse into the process behind our photoshoots; it's a celebration of the journey we take with each of our clients. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, every moment is a testament to the strength and beauty within every woman.

Pulling together a team of incredible women to help bring this vision to life was an absolute dream. From the talented hair and makeup artists to the amazing videographer, every person involved poured their heart and soul into this project, and I am forever grateful for their dedication and passion.

Creating this video was more than just a ‘marketing strategy’ for me; it was a personal challenge to step out of my own comfort zone and showcase the heart and soul behind Kimberly Brooke Boudoir. It took investment, preparation, and a whole lot of organization, but seeing the final result has made every moment worth it.

So, why did I make this video? Simply put, I wanted to give you a glimpse into the magic that happens behind the lens with Kimberly Brooke in Houston, TX. I wanted to show you that boudoir photography is not just about taking beautiful pictures; it's about empowering women to embrace their beauty and feel confident in their skin.

This ‘promo’ peek behind the scenes, is a window into the journey that happens during a boudoir session. I wanted to pull back the curtain and reveal the beauty in the process—the laughter, the moments of vulnerability, the posing instruction, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that are captured through the lens. Boudoir photography is about so much more than aesthetics; it's about empowering women to see themselves in a new light, to embrace their unique beauty, and to feel confident and empowered in the skin they’re in. It's about celebrating every curve, scar, and imperfection as a testament to the beauty of being authentically and unapologetically oneself. Through this video, I hope to inspire women to step out of their comfort zones, to see themselves through a new lens, and to embrace their beauty, both inside and out.

After a few hours together in such an intimate setting, a sort of bond forms between myself and my clients. We laugh, we chat, and we create images that capture not just their outer beauty, but also the depth of who they are. This connection makes each session unique and fulfilling. I'm reminded of the privilege it is to be a part of each of my clients’ journeys, and I'm grateful for their trust in me.

I invite you to watch the video HERE on my experience page, and see for yourself the beauty and empowerment that Kimberly Brooke Boudoir is all about. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, and here's to many more beautiful moments together. Come as you are!

- With love and light, Kim

The Gift of Boudoir | Houston Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir photography has evolved from a niche genre into a powerful and empowering form of art. Focusing on intimate, sensual, and tasteful images, boudoir photography has gained immense popularity as a thoughtful and unique gift idea for loved ones and a transformative experience for oneself. Let’s explore why boudoir photography makes an exceptional gift for your significant other, as well as a rewarding, confidence-boosting experience for oneself.

Celebrating Intimacy and Love

One of the key reasons boudoir photography makes an exceptional gift is its ability to celebrate intimacy and love. Whether it's for a partner or spouse, presenting them with a collection of carefully curated boudoir images can be an intimate and meaningful gesture. Boudoir photography captures the essence of beauty, vulnerability, and sensuality, which can help strengthen the emotional connection between partners and serve as a constant reminder of their love and admiration for each other.

Empowerment and Confidence

For individuals seeking to boost their self-confidence and embrace their unique beauty, boudoir photography offers a transformative experience. In a society that often imposes unrealistic beauty standards, boudoir sessions provide a safe space to be oneself and celebrate every aspect of their body. Professional boudoir photographers are skilled at creating a supportive and comfortable environment, guiding individuals to pose and express themselves authentically, resulting in images that exude confidence and self-assurance. Give this gift to yourself!

A Journey of Self-Discovery

Boudoir photography is more than just a photo shoot; it's a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Many individuals who engage in boudoir photography sessions find themselves exploring and embracing their bodies in ways they had never imagined before. The process can uncover hidden layers of strength and beauty, empowering individuals to see themselves in a new light and appreciate their unique qualities. Even if this gift is meant for someone else, it will definitely be a gift to yourself.

Honoring Milestones

Boudoir photography is perfect for commemorating significant milestones in life. Whether it's to celebrate a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a pregnancy, or reaching a personal goal, boudoir sessions can be tailored to honor and capture the essence of the moment. For mothers-to-be, maternity boudoir photography can embrace the beauty of pregnancy, creating a lasting memory of this transformative phase.

Professional Artistry

When seeking to gift someone or oneself with boudoir photography, it's essential to choose a professional and experienced photographer. Professional boudoir photographers understand the art of capturing sensuality and intimacy tastefully. They know how to create a comfortable and safe environment, ensuring that the subjects feel at ease during the shoot. Kimberly Brooke Boudoir has over a decade of experience in Boudoir Photography!

Gift-giving is about creating cherished memories, and boudoir photography achieves just that.

Similarly, for oneself, the resulting images become a tangible reminder of personal growth, confidence, and beauty, making it a gift that keeps on giving.

Austin Boudoir Photographer | In Awe of Yourself

When your amazing client just goes ahead and writes your blog post for you! And I quote… “If I had to describe this experience in one word, it would be empowering. What started as a gift for my husband, quickly morphed into a gift to myself; one that I will cherish for decades to come. Kimberly made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very start. She guided me throughout the process and not once did I ever feel self conscience. Even when I was likely being awkward (I seriously have an entirely new respect for professional models), Kimberly managed to make me laugh thereby creating better images than I could have hoped for. She is a master of her craft and was so inventive and creative which not only made the entire session more exciting but ultimately resulted in gorgeous photos!! I am still in awe of the final images and album. I would relive the experience again in a heartbeat. It has made me feel beautiful and sexy, two words that I would never use to describe myself but now feel that I embody. This experience has given me the opportunity to see myself in an entirely different light and for that, I am beyond grateful!”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly Brooke Boudoir to everyone and anyone!!! After this experience, I truly believe that every woman should have the opportunity to see themselves through the lenses of boudoir images! Every woman deserves the gift of Kimberly Brooke Boudoir!!”

Thank you lovely! You were such a joy to meet, get to know, and capture on camera.I truly hope we get to work together again. XOX.

AUSTIN BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER

Sexy, Gorgeous, Empowered, Strong and Confident! | Austin Women's Photographer

“What a treat it was to work with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir! As I approached my 40's I knew I wanted to do a shoot to document this milestone and gift a very special present to myself. I wanted to feel sexy and capture it since I often take little time for myself and have no time to even put on makeup with working full time and being a busy wife and mama! I also wanted to surprise my husband with a very special present. BOY! Was he surprised!”

“When we did the reveal of my photos I felt very special and beautiful and was blown away by her photography skills and the natural beauty that showed in every photo. I have always felt just "cute" in the girl next door sort of way, certainly NOT sexy, and I had become self conscious of my body (and wrinkles) after having kids and entering my 40's but WOW! how incredible it was step out of my comfort zone and ultimately see photos that made me feel SEXY, gorgeous, empowered, strong and confident!”


”I would recommend this experience to anyone and I would only do this with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir! I love that her Boudoir photos show gorgeous women as themselves. Such an amazing and empowering experience from the beginning to the end result. Can't wait to do it again!”

A Beautiful Bride to Be | Austin Boudoir Photographer

This bride was a ray of light in our gorgeous studio space on the day of her shoot. She wanted to do this shoot as a gift for her fiancé on their wedding day. But as it always does, the gift ended up being for her!

“My favorite part of this experience was how comfortable Kim made me feel. It was the big photo reveal that made me realize that I didn't look incredibly ridiculous in all those crazy poses. She made me look beautiful, seductive, and sexy without lacking class and taste. I would absolutely do it again! I feel like it is a very empowering experience that upped my confidence!”

“I LOVE how much my husband loves the book. This gift is so much more meaningful than gifts I've given him in the past. I think it was great for my confidence and also awesome for my relationship with him. It's like seeing myself through my husbands eyes for the first time!”

Amaze Yourself | Austin Boudoir Studio

The lovely Mrs. J had been missing her husband for a year. And she wanted to welcome him home from deployment in a very special way. So she came to me for her boudoir session and she surprised and amazed herself too. She gave us 5 out of 5 stars and said “I had a wonderful experience! I'm so happy with my photos.

Your Best Side is the Inside | Austin Boudoir Photo Experience

This gorgeous gal came to me to capture some sexy images for her husband, to celebrate their 1st year of marriage. Mrs. K had me laughing from the get go with her humor and sarcasm. At one point in the session we talked about favorite features and she said she and her husband are “butt people.” The way she said it made me crack up. Needless to say, we captured some beautiful images to show off her back side, however all of her sides are fantastic, including the inside. And take a look at her mesmerizing blue eyes, people. They are super gorgeous. Here are a few images from her session. Leave her some love in the comments, because she crushed her session and loved every minute of her empowering boudoir photo experience.

“I have always wanted to have photographs taken and I’m so glad I decided to go with Kimberly Brooke. Not only was the shoot so much FUN… but the images are better than I imagined. She was so directive that I was immediately comfortable. Her confidence and enthusiasm were infectious and it definitely came across in my photos!”
— Mrs. "K"

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone | Austin Boudoir Photographer

The gorgeous Mrs. K reached out to me about doing a session for herself to celebrate where she is right now. To celebrate her body after having a beautiful baby girl, after loss, after illness, after getting kicked in the teeth by life, and continuing to move forward… To simply rejoice in her feminine confidence in this moment in her life. YES, she did this for herself. Beautiful lady I am so proud of you for pushing yourself way out of your comfort zone, and thank you for trusting me with this experience. You deserved it, you rocked it, I am obsessed with your gorgeous images and in awe of your bravery.

Mrs. K shared some thoughts on herself and her experience, that I had to pass on… Her beautiful, heartfelt and authentic words brought me to tears.

“This body.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be skinny. You know, like my mom...tall, skinny, simply gorgeous. But I'm not tall and skinny and I really never have been. Im built. (thanks Dad).

My muscle mass is dense (according to my trainer), I have an athletic build and it's taken me 29 years to accept the fact that I will always have curves and I will never be board straight and it's okay.

Do I have baby weight I still need to lose? yes
Do I have stretch marks? yes
Do things look different after my explant? yes

Are all these things okay? yes
Do any of these things define ME? no

This body has given life, has traveled the world, has comforted orphans, has been the shell to a broken heart, has walked me down the aisle to the love of my life, has knelt beside dying grandparents, has protected my child. My body is good. No matter the size, no matter the number on the scale. 

Do I still have weight goals? Of course. 
Do I still have fitness goals? Sure.

But I accept myself for who I am and what I am.

I had it on my 30 before 30 list to do a beauty/boudoir session for myself before my 30th birthday no matter my weight. I did a session before I got married and was probably in the best shape of my life. This time was going to be different and I knew that going in to it. I spent weeks mentally preparing myself and building up my confidence. To be honest, I really wanted to back out of the shoot last minute because I let my insecurities get the best of me. But I did the damn thing. And I am so glad I did! This is the only photo I've seen so far, but regardless of the way I look in the other photos to come, I am proud of myself. 

(and to think I am posting this on social media...who am I ?!)

These photos will always represent a time of my life that was full of growth and change.

I've grown into my role as a mother, I've grown into my role as a business owner and a spouse. I've grown in my confidence and self love. I've grown into a better friend and I've grown in grace.

My body is different, but that doesn't mean it's not beautiful. 

Ladies, book yourself a session. YOU DESERVE to do it for YOU! Document where you are in this season of life. You will be so glad you did.”

Here are some of Mrs. K’s own words about her Austin Boudoir Photo Experience with me…

“I could not be any happier with my experience with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir! Photo prep was made easy by her well thought out guide and Kim was available to answer all of my questions. I was very nervous going into my session because let's be honest... things just don't look the same after having a baby. During my shoot, Kim was encouraging and gave really good instructions and posed me for every shot which I really appreciated! I left feeling powerful, confident and beautiful. When it came time to view my photos, I was even more nervous than before. I was worried I wouldn't like them and that I would be disappointed... basically, I let my insecurities get the best of me. I was nervous for nothing! I LOVED my photos! I am so happy I did them to document this stage of life! I will be doing another session later on in life. I highly recommend doing this for yourself! Thanks Kim!”

“Did a thing today.
Thanks Kimberly Brooke for pushing me out of my comfort zone!”
— Mrs. K

Feel Alive | Austin Texas Boudoir Photographer

Mrs. C was celebrating turning 40 this year, as well as 15 years of marriage. She gave us 5 stars and says… “I feel so alive! I feel so beautiful and I am so proud of my butt. Something I have always been so self conscious of. Thank you!”

You’re welcome Mrs. C! You. Are. Welcome!

Thank you for taking a chance and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Thank you for dancing with me in your underwear. Thank you for allowing me to capture this time in your life. I’m looking forward to our next shoot together. - XOXOX
