The Beginnings of a Dream | Springfield Boudoir Photography
There is always a beginning. A beginning where hope is high and dreams are huge. But once you are finished dreaming of all of the things, you either buckle down and keep pushing or you give up. One is easier than the other. One takes a lot more than dreams and hopes. It takes blood, sweat and tears -a lot of all of those. And this story is very much like that. I have done photography for years. I have wanted to be a full-time photographer for almost as long as I can remember, besides an author (more about that later). Each year, I have pushed myself. I have pushed…

Spooky Minis | Springfield Missouri Boudoir Photographer
Fall makes me so happy so why not introduce Spooky Minis this year!!! For the first time ever, the studio will be moving into a fall feel for the month of October and part of September. Then on OCTOBER 10th, the studio will bring in an even more Halloween/Spooky/Candles vibe! Three areas will be set up especially for this Spooky. The bedroom area will hold the most fall vibes with the ability to add in some skulls and other items to bring in a more Halloween vibe. An area devoted to candles and a spookier vibe will be created as well. Items that will be available will be discussed in…

You don’t have to be |Springfield Missouri Boudoir Photographer
***Closed*** Keeping checking the blog and social media for more opportunities. 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! …

To ALL the Mothers
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers (and dad's who are moms!) out there! This day always makes me think. It makes me think about us as women and what we go through. Whether being pregnant, birthing a child, dreaming of a child, losing a child, gaining a child, having a child, not being able to, or being happy with fur babies. It's hard to be a woman sometimes. It's hard to talk about it. Don't forget all of us are in this. No matter where you are in this journey of womanhood, I think you are doing amazing. I think you are wonderful exactly the way you are.…

I’d Have to Shave My Legs for That | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
When I started the Boudoir by Paula Facebook page about a year or so ago, I wanted to help women see how beautiful they truly are. So I started doing some giveaways. Ms J was one of those winners. I remember talking about boudoir and her saying I’d have to shave my legs, but I guess. Her Pinterest board made me laugh and get inspired for her shoot! (Are you following me on Pinterest? Click here) Her loving, kind, giving personality, I wanted to show her how amazing she was and is. I’ll stop chatting and let her tell you in her own words. When Paula suggested boudoir…

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,…

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...…

Value & Worth | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
The money conversation is always hard to start and to be in. But we all have to tackle it with our spouses, kids and businesses. And doggoneit! We’re worth it and money is a good thing to talk about! (You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero <- if you haven’t read it, go read it now. It’s good for everyone no matter if you are a business owner or not.) In 2019, our pricing model is going to be changing a bit! We are stepping away from the idea of multiple package for outfits, images, time, blah, blah blah, etc. It can be too confusing and frustrating.…

Welcome! | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
Well, hello... I am so glad you found my little piece of the internet. Please remember to be kind and supportive as you peruse through. This website is full of images of individuals that have took one step forward or more toward their goals — whether it be a gift, a moment of self love. They are amazing to me and I am beyond honored to be apart of their journey. Boudoir is a pretty special brand of photography to me. All of us want to be seen as an amazing, gorgeous badass of a woman (okay that might just be me.) It's hard to see that woman through our…
