Real
intimate
portraiture
The possibilities
for exploring self-love,
self-confidence,
and self-expression through photos
are so much more varied
than you might think.
What
could
boudoir
be?
You probably have an image
in your head
of how boudoir photography
usually looks
— what people wear,
the poses they do,
the kinds of facial expressions they do,
maybe how their body looks,
and where these shoots take place.
The reality
that I’m putting out there
is that your boudoir session
may look
like nothing you’ve seen before.
Because
you may have never seen a session
that is uniquely true to you;
to your sense of style,
to the way you look,
to the way you move your body,
your gestures and mannerisms,
your idea of sexy.
I’m genuinely stoked
to help you design a session
that’s you.
Literally whatever that looks like?
I know it’ll be fun.
“It's a deeply intuitive,
self-honoring experience
that leaves you with
beautiful photos in the end.
Consider yourself very lucky
to have come across Whyfor
and the opportunity
to work with Austin.”
- Rachel
Fun,
creative,
expressive,
powerful.
I’m here to help you
reveal a true part of yourself
to a camera
and have fun doing it.
— not to transform you
into something you’re not
for a few photos.
Precisely whoever you are
is best case scenario
for making authentic pictures
that you’ll be so proud of
and happy to show off.
So we’re gonna go for that.
Never cringey.
“I am not usually drawn
to boudoir photography,
but loved what I was seeing
in Austin’s work.”

Be seen.
In front of a camera.
My entire job
is to create space
and help you feel comfortable
— to guide you
through an intentional session
of self expression
that’s very fun and very vulnerable.
Your session
will be a whirlwind of encouragement,
and butterflies, and direction,
and laughs,
of flow, improvisation, experimentation,
creativity, and trust, and exhilaration.
Designed by you,
assisted by me.
The experience
of being photographed in this way
will make you feel really great
before you even get your images back.
And odds are
you’ve never experienced
something like this before.
A brand new experience,
centered completely on you.
With incredibly beautiful photos to help you remember,
throughout the rest of your life,
the way you are,
right now.
Hi! I’m Austin.
And a veteran wedding photographer,
and also an obsessed boudoir photographer.
I love living in Longmont
with my lovely wife Jess
and our two foster-fail kitties
(both siamese, both adorable).
Getting to make
these fun,
incredibly creative,
rewarding photos
that promote self love
is a true honor
and joy.
Can you go there
with a male photographer?
The kind words of my past clients
are better than anything
I could say about myself
— seriously
go have a read through my testimonials,
they’re incredibly sweet.
or
“Boudoir can be really vulnerable
so I'm so grateful that
Austin made me feel safe,
respected,
and just
so
utterly
confident.
The experience itself was
everything I could've asked for
and the pictures were
STUNNING.”

How to do this thing:
1
Hit that INQUIRE button
and send me an inquiry!
Let me know
how you’d love your session to be
— even if like most folks,
you don’t know what all the options are
or don’t have all the details decided
just yet.
I’ll send over a fun questionnaire
to help get the wheels turnin’
on what’s possible during your session
and help you think through
things like boundaries, outfits, locations
and the vibes
that are calling to you.

Next we’ll meet over video chat
and go over your questionnaire,
making sure
that we’re both on the same page,
all your questions get answered,
and the vision begins to take shape.
You’ll then get a proposal
that summarizes everything
as well as
a simple contract to sign
when you decide
to book your session.
After booking, I’ll help you
decide all the creative stuff
and logistic details.

Show up,
rested and ready,

A short note
with what you have in mind
is all we need to get started.

Very little!
“I love your studio work!” Or, “It would be so fun to be photographed in a forest!” is plenty to work from. Outfit, location, vibe, etc? We’ll chat through those things (and more) during the planning process.

I’m based just outside Boulder in the charming small town of Longmont! I shoot every- and anywhere (but mostly along Colorado’s front range). I travel often for work and fun and would love to know what location is calling to you

Absolutely! Your comfort is literally the most important thing, and you’re totally welcome to bring someone with you — provided they know this is 100% your session, they will only hype you up, and they understand they won’t be photographed.

Totally! Booking a Classic Session gives you the option to shoot outdoors in an environment you dig — forest, desert, water, mountains, etc. More info on the services page.
