Ms C's Stunning Maternity Boudoir Session

Let me tell you, there’s something truly special about capturing the beauty of motherhood in its early stages. And Ms. C? Well, she absolutely glowed during her recent maternity boudoir session!

Ms. C absolutely blossomed in front of the camera. We draped her in flowing fabrics and delicate lace, all from my client closet – a treasure trove of gorgeous gowns and lingerie perfect for showcasing every stage of pregnancy. The best part? You don’t have to worry about a thing! All my maternity boudoir sessions come with professional hair and makeup artistry, so you can simply relax and enjoy the pampering.

Witnessing Ms. C’s joy throughout the session was truly heartwarming. The way she cradled her baby bump, the soft smile that played on her lips…it was pure magic. These are the moments I live for as a photographer; capturing the essence of a woman at her most beautiful, powerful, and undeniably pregnant!

Bachelorette Party Ideas for an Unforgettable and Unconventional Celebration | Oshkosh Photographer

Unforgettable Bachelorette Party Ideas for Unconventional Brides

When we think of bachelorette parties, Las Vegas is often the first thing that comes to mind. With its dazzling lights, endless entertainment options, and non-stop party atmosphere, Vegas is the ultimate destination for a wild and unforgettable celebration. Every movie and TV show involving a bachelorette party usually leads the cast on some ill-fated adventure traipsing through casinos and dance clubs before culminating in an argument between besties and concluding with a friendship make-up that makes us all go “awwwwwwwww.”

Despite all that glitz and glamour, and the Hollywood friend-unfriend-friend again trope, Vegas isn’t the destination for every bride. Some brides-to-be may prefer a more low-key and intimate celebration that’s closer to home. If you fall into this category, don’t worry – there are plenty of other unconventional bachelorette party ideas that can be just as fun and memorable. Here’s 8 unique ideas that you and your friends can consider to celebrate your upcoming nuptials in style.

1. A Day at the Spa

Relax and rejuvenate with a spa day. Treat yourself to manicures and pedicures, facials, and other beauty treatments to feel refreshed and renewed. Starstruck Artistry is one of my favorite places to get some pampering done, and they have a wide range of services to make you and your party look and feel like the rockstars you are! Bonus: they’re located right here in Oshkosh, and I know they also offer bridal hair and makeup if you’re looking.

2. Beer and/or Wine Tasting

Take a tour of a local winery or brewery or plan your own tasting event for a sophisticated and fun experience. You can learn about different types of wine and/or beer while enjoying good company and delicious food.

Here in Oshkosh, we are lucky to have a whole host of great breweries and taprooms, such as Fox River Brewing (their crunch tenders are AMAZING by the way!), Fifth Ward Brewing Company, and Bare Bones Brewery, just to name a few for those who are fans of beer. If you’re a wine fan, the Downtown Oshkosh Wine Walk is a fun way try several different wines while visiting the incredible businesses and experiences downtown Oshkosh has to offer!

3. Escape Room

Put your problem-solving skills to the test with an escape room adventure. Work together with your entire bachelorette party to solve puzzles and riddles and escape before time runs out! Escape Oshkosh has a great selection of rooms that will keep you on your toes and make your bachelorette party one EVERYONE will talk about!

Want to up the ante a little? Involve BOTH bach parties and make it a competition! Each party gets their own escape room, and the party that finishes last has to buy the party that finishes first dinner.

4. Art Classes

Are you and your party the artsy types? Get creative and express yourself with an art class! Try painting, pottery, or sculpture classes to learn new skills and create something special to remember the day by.

Fire Escape right on Main Street in downtown Oshkosh offers some fun and exciting classes and workshops in pretty much anything you can want to do – from pottery painting, to fluid art, and so much more!

5. Glamping

Glamping, anyone? Take camping to the next level with glamping. Enjoy the beauty of nature with all the comforts of home, including comfortable beds, indoor plumbing, and even electricity! If you flock with nature-lovers, but still want to enjoy a bachelorette party with all the amenities, this might be the way to go for you.

And if you’re looking for something out in the woods but still close enough to home, check out Getaway Wild Rose. The cabins there look so serene and glamourous!

6. Road Trip

Hit the road and explore a new destination. Choose a nearby city or a faraway land and plan a road trip filled with adventure, great food, and good company!

If you’re looking for a Wisconsin road trip for your bachelorette party, you’re in luck: there’s an endless list of great places to visit to fit every taste! Door County, the Wisconsin Dells, any of the beautiful state parks, and so, so much more!

7. Music Festival

Dance the night away at a music festival or concert. Enjoy live music, great food, and an unforgettable experience with your closest friends. Downtown Oshkosh Music on Main features a different band every Wednesday from June 7th until September 27th, right on Opera House Square in downtown Oshkosh, so you can enjoy great music, incredible food from any of the amazing eateries in the area, and explore what downtown has to offer!

8. Bachelorette Boudoir Party

I would be doing myself a great disservice if I didn’t plug one of my own services right here, so here it is:

Get ready to feel beautiful and empowered with a boudoir party. Let me and my glam team help you create stunning photos that celebrate your unique beauty and femininity, and capture the essence that you and your bachelorette party manifest. Complete with hair and makeup, full client closet access, and individual time in front of the camera (as well as plenty of all of you having a great time!) this is one party you’ll definitely never forget – and might even want to do again. Go ahead and hit that contact button and I’ll give you all the deets!

Bonus: the bride gets to participate for free!

No matter which idea you choose, as long as your bachelorette party includes your closest friends and activities you enjoy, you’ll be sure to create unforgettable memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Adore’s Session in the New Downtown Oshkosh Boudoir Studio

Downtown Oshkosh | Adore’s Boudoir Session

Shiny and New

The move into my new studio has been such a dream. To say I’m in love with this new location would be an understatement. I think obsession might be a better description! A healthy obsession, of course

Being obsessed with this new space means I’ve been creating some beautiful artwork, and I’m SO excited to finally have a chance to share some of it. I’ve been slacking a bit on the blog, but hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with sharing again (although I wouldn’t hold my breath lol)

Downtown Oshkosh

One of the best parts of this new location is feeling like I’m more in the heart of Downtown Oshkosh. My previous studio was only a couple of blocks away, still in the downtown area, but since I was on the 3rd floor of an office building, I felt like I could have been worlds away.

Now, I have beautiful, large windows looking right onto the street and walkway. I’m also taking part in some of the events being held by Downtown Oshkosh, like the Chocolate Stroll that took place in early February. It was such a fun and interesting event, and helped me meet so many new people. I’m greatly looking forward to taking part in more events, like the Wine Walk. What a great opportunity to be a part of the community!

Oshkosh has so far been such an amazing place to live. When we first moved here in November 2019, we hadn’t anticipated the pandemic taking a toll on our ability to participate in the community, so now that things are returning to some semblance of normal, I’m ready to get out there and meet my neighbors and community members.

2022 Will Be A Great Year

And I’m not kidding – this is going to be a GREAT year.

The boudoir images in this post are from one of my first sessions in my new studio, and if they’re any indication of how the year is going to go, this year is going to SLAY for me, and for Inferno Boudoir. I’m putting in the work to empower every woman who walks into my studio, and hopefully make a positive impact on the world, one goddess at a time.

Will you make this your best year?

Will this be your year? Are you going to MAKE this your year? What better time than now to take that step and make your year the best you can by book a boudoir session with one of the best boudoir photographers in the Fox Valley?

Sometimes, it’s hard to love ourselves. I get it. So let me help you learn to love yourself.

Let’s do the damn thing!

Are you ready?

Hair & Makeup – Why It Matters | Downtown Oshkosh Boudoir Studio

[divider top=”10″ type=”default” responsive_top=”no” style=”blank”]

Should you get it done?

[divider top=”10″ type=”default” responsive_top=”no” style=”blank”]

[imagebox_item displaytype=”none” target=”_self” icon=”simpleicon-frame” image=”https://infernoboudoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/bwkk2021-1-2.jpg” title=”Title of the image box” link=”” linktext=”{{linktext}}” last_item=”builder”] Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. [/imagebox_item]

If you’ve been researching boudoir sessions, you’ve probably thought about hair and makeup. You’re probably wondering if it’s you should do. Maybe you don’t normally wear makeup, and the thought of putting a full face on and styling your hair before a session seems like a daunting task. Or maybe you wear makeup all the time, but want something that’s not your normal look and aren’t sure where to start. Do you hire someone? Ask a friend? Where do you even FIND a hair and makeup artist? Is it even worth it?

Before you dive too deep into finding a hair and makeup artist, I have some great news: every boudoir session that takes place in my downtown Oshkosh studio (or in any place I photograph boudoir in the Fox Valley) includes hair and makeup. You read that right. Your session with me includes hair and makeup.

There’s no wondering how to find a hair and makeup artist, or figuring out how booking one works. It’s all done for you, and you don’t even have to go anywhere additional for it! Your hair and makeup will be done right in my studio in downtown Oshkosh before your boudoir session. Easy-peasy!

Your next thought might be whether you want hair and makeup. Is it worth it? I highly recommend having them done, and here’s why:

You’re going to feel amazing with that fabulous hair and flawless face. Trust me. And that feeling of confidence will totally show in your photos!
It’s less that you have to worry about. You’re already going to be feeling a little nervous the day of your boudoir shoot, so why not sit back, relax, and get yourself pampered, knowing you’ll look amazing?
These people are professionals. They know exactly what kind of tools, colors and products to use to bring out your best features and make you look stunning. And isn’t that exactly how you want to look on your boudoir session day?
It’s a chance to personalize your session. Maybe you love your normal look and want to memorialize it in your session. Maybe you want to go all-out and get a super sexy smoky eye. This is entirely up to you – you can go as natural or as glam as you want. The artist will even apply lashes if you want them!

Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. [/imagebox_item]

Will having hair and makeup really effect your images? Yes, but not in the way you think. You’re beautiful, with or without makeup, but getting a little pampering, knowing you have one less thing to take care of, and relaxing for the full royal treatment will have such a huge effect on your confidence, and THAT is what will effect your images more than anything.

Most of my sessions, I work with the team at Starstruck Artistry LLC for hair and makeup, and I can’t rave about them enough. They bring visions to life. Whether that vision is super glamorous or no-makeup makeup, the professionals I work with will make it happen.

The choice is ultimately up to you. If you don’t want hair and makeup at all, that’s completely fine, as well. I promise, you’re going to look and feel like a rockstar regardless. But, while hair and makeup isn’t required, it is complimentary. Why not take advantage of being treated to the full experience?

The Beginning | Boudoir Photographer In Oshkosh, WI

lisa — Sat, 28 Dec 2019 22:28:45 +0000

Like the title of this blog says, this is the beginning. The beginning of my blog, the beginning of my website, and the beginning of my journey as a boudoir photographer in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

While this is the beginning of my journey as an Oshkosh boudoir photographer, it’s not the beginning of my photography journey. I’ve actually been a photographer for several years. Over the last three years, I focused on capturing weddings and seniors (which you can view here). Before that, I didn’t have a focus at all. I photographed anything and everything.

Here’s a little about me:

I’m a wife to a pretty cool guy who gets on my nerves some times, but still makes me happy for the most part. I’m a mother to an adorable little boy and two very rambunctious dogs. I grew up in Southern Colorado, but moved to Wisconsin in November of 2019. I love coffee, chocolate and the colors of springtime. We mostly follow a plant-based diet. It’s been incredibly hard to give up eggs, cheese, and some things that contain dairy (like chocolate), but I’m working on it. I love Criminal Minds and Game of Thrones and have been a die-hard Star Wars fan ever since I can remember. I am an artist, a bullet journal-er, a free spirit, and a survivor. I aim to create something every day.

And I love being a boudoir photographer.

There is something incredibly powerful about showing your most intimate self. You are doing it on your terms, in your way. I’m incredibly passionate about helping women take that power, and see the beautiful, strong, amazing human beings they are, as they are. (Want to see some of the beautiful ladies I’ve been lucky enough to photograph? Click here.)

I can’t wait to show you how beautiful you are.
