Here at First Sight Photography we strive to capture classy and tasteful boudoir and glamour images while giving you a memorable experience, whether you're doing it for yourself or to gift to your significant other. Our sessions are light and fun and capture you in the most flattering way. It’s not just about taking pictures in beautiful outfits... it’s about boosting your confidence and celebrating you.
Go shopping for some beautiful outfits and get your nails done, then get pampered at our studio with a gorgeous make-over and have fun while feeling sexy and confident. That is why at First Sight Photography we don’t call it a photoshoot, we call it an Experience!
We want you to look back and think, “Wow, this was such an amazing experience.” When you see your gorgeous images, we want you to be amazed. We want you to leave with a self-esteem boost that is long lasting. We will provide a level of service that will make you want to tell all of your friends, so they, too, can have the same incredible experience.

We recently interviewed one of our clients:

What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
When I was getting married and planning our wedding I was having a hard time deciding what gift I wanted to give my new husband on our wedding day. To me, “me” was enough. I am a huge advocate of saving sex for marriage and wanted “me” to be his gift. So I decided to do a boudoir session and a book that visually captivated him and represented what his wedding day gift was; all of me!

Were you nervous or self-conscious before the session?
Haha! Ummm yes!

Did that change during the session?
Oh absolutely! Marcel and his assistant were so fun and light and made you feel comfortable in your own skin! They instantly made you feel confident and sexy! I also brought my mom; it was nice to have a familiar face there with me too! During the session, my intention for the pictures was in constant rotation in my head: “this is for my new husband, he is gonna love this!”

Did you do anything to prepare for your session? (like shopping for fun things to wear?)
Lots actually. I went on Pinterest and picked several pictures that I loved. I sent the poses to Marcel so he had an idea of things I liked (was so nice- during the session he pulled all my messages up and went through each one with me behind the camera- most photographers don’t take the time to do that. So I knew I didn’t have to remember myself). Then I went shopping for outfits that made me feel desirable. I also took a couple things from my husbands closet; a flannel shirt and his cowboy hat.

What did your husband think of the boudoir album you gave him?
Haha! You can probably about imagine. This album does wonders for your self confidence- I have never ever looked so good! Ha! Can’t believe it’s me actually. Not sure there are words for what he thinks of it- shocked. Beyond pleased. Like loves it! Blown away. Still blown away. I mean it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Husband chimes in: “It’s like seeing the pretty hot girl in print and then getting to sleep with her that night!”

What would you say to women who aren’t sure/confident if they should do a boudoir session?
Oh gosh girl! You should absolutely do it! Don’t worry! Once you’re in there and you get started it just comes so easily and isn’t awkward at all! I was so afraid it would be uncomfortable because I am not one that flaunts the goods. But the entire session was just so fun and I was actually sad when we were done. Seriously, it’s not just for him. It’s for you too! “Hey honey! Remember when I looked this hot three kids ago?!!!” Haha! You’ll love it! Trust me! You can thank me later!
