WPPI- Las Vegas 2022
About 8 years ago I decided to shift my focus from all types of photography into boudoir photography. What is boudoir photography? Boudoir in definition is a woman’s private sitting room or bedroom in todays terms. I like to call it intimate portraits.
As my focus shifted I searched for a community of like minded brains and stumbled onto a community called “Do More Photographers” this at the time was the go to for boudoir photographers and in hind sight it was until it was ( I will not be getting into that ). Anywhooooo, they hosted a camp in Canada every year which turned out to be life changing. The entire camp ground was rented out and classes were held all day then fun parties at night. Nudity was not taboo and it was extremely liberating to be around such none judgmental people. I made friends and really grew as a person during these camps.
Fast forward to Vegas 2022 and most of us have not traveled or seen one another in a few years. I was SO looking forward to this trip.
I arrived in Vegas solo and at this point only need a place to stay for one night. I found a group of people and jumped right into shooting. Thats just how we roll.
This is what life should look like ^^^^ random strangers uplifting and cheering you on. I LIVE for this kind of vibe and its the type of people I seek to be in my surroundings.
After we did some shooting I met up with high school friends of mine who were in town for a concert. We decided to hit up Vanderpump and the atmosphere did not disappoint.
of course I had to act like a teenager and have some fun so I made friends with this sleeping man =)
Rise and shine time to make today my bitch!!! I did a little gambling and met up with a group of photographers from back home who were in the area.
At about 4pm it was time to head to my air b n b, which was about a 20 min cab ride. About 8 boudoir educators and models were in this cute house and the energy and vibe was perfection. I instantly fell in love with everyone in the house. I personally knew Noel and Brittney who have become trusted friends of mine from years back. This was my home for the next 5 days.
I attended several classes and workshops and even modeled a bit for the Boudoir Album Company
Here is my photo dump from the rest of the trip…..I also saw one of my best friends Rachel who was able to spend some time with me.
Below are the photos which I took from my trip….
Till we meet again boudoir fam!!!!
Next year I hope to maybe teach a class in Vegas. It is on my todo list ……
