My fellow photographer friend, kristen, asked if i would do an outdoor boudoir shoot for her as a surprise for her hubby for their anniversary. i was honored that she would trust me with this…flattered actually…but i felt some pressure as i haven’t done that many boudoirs yet. and she’s a damn good photographer too!...
