You don’t have to be |Springfield Missouri Boudoir Photographer
When I first thought about throwing a Boudie Call, I knew the first one had to be a Short Hair Call, Women forget that they don't have to be ___________ to do a boudoir shoot. There are no requirements if you want to do one. You could wake up one morning and go 'Damn! I look hot. I need to do a boudoir shoot!' Ms. T was one of my amazing ladies who sent in a application (no worries it isn't hard.) From the moment, I read what she wrote... I was like "Wow! She gets it!" "Hey girl! I've always loved the boudoir photos you share, but never put…

Finding Creativeness in the Pause |Springfield Missouri Boudoir Photographer
On the middle of the third week, I found a life line that I didn't realize I was looking for. My friend Teri Hofford over at Teri Hofford Photography (who is amazing! Go check her out here.) Teri announced that she was doing WEBCAM sessions. I was like Webcam Sessions? What? After seeing several sets, I purchased the guide and WOW! What an amazing creative rush! Of course, I called on a few people and answered some calls for a photographer for Webcam shoots in my educational groups. My first two were two amazing ladies. One was a photographer in Indiana. The next a lady from the Joplin, Mo area. …

The Pause aka Coronavirus 2020
I read somewhere in the middle of March when the United States kind of went upside down that this time at home was being called the Pause. Mom and Dads were able to be at home with their kids. Family Dinners were happening again. Kids were home from school. And so much more. At first with the stay-at-home order, I didn't completely understand it all. My hour break was shortened to 30 mins, but other than that I was still working at my full-time job. But then after about a week, I was furloughed. (Wow, what another story for another day). The first week was nice like a vacation. The…

Happiness & Sadness: A Tribute to A Friend | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
Trigger warning: Death No day is promised. Anything can happen and does. When it happens, the best thing we can do is remember the happy moments. Over the weekend, one of my new boudoir photographer friends, Jenna died from complications from a car accident. We had connected at the boudoir worksop I attended back in November. She was an amazing boudoir photographer from Minnesota and she was eager to learn more. We spent our last night in Dallas -staying up late and talking about pricing, hopes and dreams for the future, and so much more. The final day of the workshop,…

I’m tired of “Not Enough” | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
I’m tired of “not enough.” For the last who knows how many days (mainly cause I got off track and behind and well… yeah…) I have been doing a Body Positive post a day in my Facebook group Paula’s Boudoir Babes. It came out of seeing all of the posts around January 1. I was tired. I was tired seeing every post on social media about “I’m fat.” “I’m going on a diet to be prettier” “Jan 1, time to lose the weight” “Time to gain the muscle” It was seriously never ending and wrote in all the different ways. And from friends to businesses. UGH! Wait a second, no,…

My Boudoir Photos, the STRESS | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
If you were watching the LIVE in Paula’s Boudoir Babes, you probably saw the pre-workshop/shoot day for me. Let me recap for you! I was nervous. I was scared. I was second guessing all the things. There was no hair and makeup. There was just me. I did my makeup like I usually do for work and took a deep breath and said “This is me.” (cue the Greatest Showman song- This is ME!) I packed all my hopeful outfits and went to the workshop. The first part was couples and I watched as they were nervous in a room with NINE people photographing them at one point. It…

Resolutions: Are you ready? | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
It's almost the new year. All of us are deep into planning what will be our New Year's Resolution. Some of us have big resolutions. Others have small ones. When you have a business, it is no different. You want to make sure you are off to a good start and you want to prepare for the best year ever. So you go into panic mode near the end of the year, trying to get everything together ---that you have been planning on getting done for the last year. (Yup, I went there.) I have so many things on my list to get ready for the New Year and well...…

A Name | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
A name for this business has been one of the hardest things to do. There are so many neat names that some days I sit and wonder if there is a better one. But for boudoir, there isn’t. Boudoir is such an uniquely personal experience that I knew I wanted to make the name as personal as possible. I didn’t want you as clients to wonder who will be my photographer… or with a name like Peaces Photography, who does the photographing? (That is me btw. It’s my non Boudoir stuff) I wanted a name that said both what I do and who I am in one place. I want…
