Miss R. came to us to give her future husband the ultimate groom's gift for her recent wedding. We had a blast creating some seriously sexy looks to put into the album she gave her betrothed the day of their wedding. We love going a bit dark and moody when a client allows- Miss R. was a total blonde bombshell at her photoshoot. She loved her photos, and agreed to allow us to share some here on the blog. Thank you for letting us show everyone else how amazing you look! 

You might also notice that the website and logo have changed a bit! We're always striving to be a better, more creative, more exciting company here at Roar Boudoir. Now that we've been in the boudoir business for three, nearly four years, we were ready for a bit of an update. Whatever our look we're still delivering some of the most beautiful boudoir photography in the Cincinnati area, from our studio is still located in our beloved neighborhood of Pleasant Ridge. If you're interested in booking a photoshoot as a gift for the holiday season, just a reminder that our calendars are filling up quickly- Don't wait to contact us! 

We often get clients who are giving their boudoir photography to someone special as gift. Talk about the gift for the person who already has everything! While we love helping our clients pick products for that special someone we'd like to be quite clear that the session is for you. 

The entire Roar Boudoir experience is geared to making you, our model, feel empowered and pampered. You are stunning, and we want to help you see that! If you choose to share your images with anyone else, that's just a bonus. 

Roar Boudoir takes time to get to know our clients. We meet with you in person before your shoot to go over any concerns or questions you might have. We understand that it can be a little nerve wracking before your shoot, and we want to do anything we can to make your more comfortable. We get to know everything from your favorite part of your body, to your favorite cocktail, to what kind of music really makes you feel like a million bucks. Each session is catered to you! 

Here's some quotes clients said in this previous weekend's marathon shoot that have really stuck with us. 

"You know, I thought I was doing this for my husband, but I was really doing this for me. Thank you."

"I didn't realize I would like being called beautiful so much."

"This was so much easier than I thought it would be. You made me comfortable, beautiful, and sexy. I needed this."

We, as always, are overjoyed that our clients seem to really appreciate us. We appreciate them so much! 

If you're interested in doing a session for yourself, we still have some appointment times left for our September 19th Marathon Date.  We're offering a free 8x10 on this session, which is already an amazing deal! Contact us now to book - payment plans are available.

"Will you share my photos online?"

That has to be the number one question asked by all our clients. The answer is simple, only if you want us to. When you decide to shoot with Roar Boudoir we have a few options you can check off on your contract, they are as follows: 

Please do not share my images online.

I will allow Roar Boudoir to showcase my images online.

I will allow Roar Boudoir to showcase my images online as long as my identity is kept anonymous and my face is at least partially obscured.

You simply check which option you'd like, and we leave it at that. Many of our clients keep their photos private- We are totally fine with that! We enjoy the Roar Boudoir experience as much as our clients, and love seeing their faces when we deliver their images to them. It is in no way required that we share them with anyone but the model of the photograph. 

We often have clients who initially check private on their contracts change their minds after they see their finished photos. "You have to share these online! I look so hot!" has been said by more than one client after their viewings. At that point we'd add an amendment to your contract. While such an in depth contract may seem like overkill to some, we want to be very clear with our clients so they know explicitly how we will share their images if they desire us to. 

When you decide to let us share your images, you pick which of your finished images we are able to share at your viewing session. Everything is always in your hands! 

A new and popular option we now have is to share your images anonymously. We give you a snazzy fake name and only share photos in which your face is obscured.  A lot of clients have love this middle ground option, and we love making our clients happy! 

Roar Boudoir is all about putting power and confidence in the hands of our clients. We won't share any photos from your session ever unless you allow us to, and we've got it in writing. Making you happy, and protecting your privacy is our number one concern! 

Boudoir has gotten a something of a popularity boost this past year. We know it can be sometimes difficult to figure out who to hire when it comes to your boudoir photography session. So we decided to do a post on what makes us different, to help you find your perfect photographer.

TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS AT EVERY SESSION.

Paige and Anna shoot every session together. While it's an unorthodox way of shooting- we love it! Our shooting and editing styles are different, you'll end up with more options at the end of your shoot. Creativity is fiercely personal, and even when shooting the exact same subject we end up with such different results! The side by side shots below are the same set and client, taken seconds apart! 

You're getting double the photographer, viewpoints, and creativity for your money! 

A DEDICATED FULL-TIME BOUDOIR STUDIO OF OUR VERY OWN.

Boudoir demands a certain level of respect for privacy. We always make that our number one concern, and our studio supports that. Other photographers might only offer hotel, in home, or session in a rented space from another photographer. We occasionally love getting out of the studio as well, new space can bring new inspiration. We enjoy having shared rental spaces as one option, not our only one.

We offer a dedicated studio space to shoot, deliver images, and have client gatherings in! We are the only tenants of our studio space, and plan on keeping it that way. You'll never have someone showing up to your sessions due to scheduling complications.

Having a studio of our own also means we're able to curate what kinds of props, furniture, backdrops, and lighting we want in our sessions. We own everything we shoot with in our studio from our lights to our chaise lounges. More control in environment will lead to more beautiful photos for you!  

After your shoot is complete we can deliver your images in studio, keeping your finished product for your eyes only. We're also available to meet you at our studio to discuss any concerns you might have in person. In fact, we host an open house on the last Friday of most months. Check out our events page if you'd like to stop by! 

HERE TO SUPPORT YOU BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER YOUR SESSION.

Some photographers have little to no contact with clients before their boudoir shoots. Some even charge for pre-shoot consultations.  While that might work for them, it's not what we do. Boudoir is an, excuse my pun, very revealing albeit amazing experience. We want to know you, your story, and how boudoir is going to help you celebrate how wonderful your body is! We take time before our shoots to meet with almost all our clients in person or via Skype where distance is an issue. We talk about everything you'll need to know for your session, there are no surprises. We'll even be more than happy to help you find the best wardrobe for your shoot! Having a connection with your photographers is important. If you're anxious or stressed during your shoot, it might read that way in the photo. We want to do everything we can to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your session. 

Because we shoot with two photographers, you get double the support, especially during your session. Clients have told us many times that shooting with us feels as if their just hanging out with old friends. We love our clients, and are so happy we make them feel comfortable! 

Anna and Paige also deliver and design all your finished images and products. Everything is edited in house. Your photos stay with us from the shoot until we deliver them to you! We love giving our clients their finished photos in our studio. Being able to be present when people see how beautiful they are, sometimes for the first time, is a powerful experience. It's one of the biggest reasons we started Roar. 

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF ARE ALWAYS WOMEN AT ROAR BOUDOIR.

As women we understand that it can be very threatening to be so exposed and having a male present- whether that is your photographer or a member of the support staff. While this isn't an issue for everyone, and certainly not meant to dismiss the merits of any other male photographer in our industry, it's still important for some of our clients.  Seeing your body as beautiful, powerful and sexy is an amazing healing tool. We want you to feel safe, loved, and beautiful. This is one reason we are fully staffed only by women.  While this isn't an issue for all our clients, we want to protect the ones whom it is an issue for.  Our space is safe for any client, no matter their gender or sexual orientation. If you have any concerns about past experiences influencing your session please let us know.

 WE BELIEVE IN BEING BODY POSITIVE. 

We believe with every fiber of our being that everyone's bodies are beautiful.  From super models, to the curviest forms, to people with disabilities and everywhere in between; you are perfect as you are.  Everyone has issues with their bodies, don't let that stop you from seeing how beautiful it is as a whole. Appreciate everything it does for you, celebrate your battle scars and stretch marks! Every little "flaw" is part of you, and makes you who you are. Roar boudoir wants to bring out a beautiful version of you! 

Being body positive is also the reason we don't do "before and after" photos. There is nothing inherently "better" about our photos than the everyday you. All of you is beautiful, and sometimes it's nice to see a different facet. We want the Roar Boudoir experience to take center stage. The process, the building of body confidence, and the fun is what's most important to us!

WE DON'T DISCRIMINATE. 

We don't discriminate, period. Not every client is our client, and that's okay. While we might not be the photographer for you for a myriad of other reasons, the color of your skin, your gender, or your sexual orientation won't be one of them. We celebrate everyone, no matter the body they come in!
