Before and After
LOVE NOTES
“I came into the session awkward, bashful, and nervous, and Barbara put me at ease. The makeup artist did my hair and makeup, and she is just awesome! I loved the way my look turned out.”
“Greatest experience, and good customer service! Trust me, I’ve definitely never done anything like this, but Barbara walks you through every single pose. I had a hard time narrowing down my selection, I loved them all so much. I definitely felt like a supermodel!” Lynn
“My husband was WOWED when he opened the album for our anniversary! I’ve never seen myself as the beautiful woman portrayed in the photo album. This photography experience was intended as an anniversary surprise for my husband. Barbara devotes time to get to know you and customizes the session to accentuate your personality and beauty. I am extremely pleased with Intimate Photography’s professional approach and stunning results! I’ll be back for another session for my 10th anniversary!” April
“The album that Barbra created took my breath away! I’m obsessed with the photos! I had no idea I could look like that! This whole experience has given me a new perspective of myself.
This is a phenomenal photography studio in every way! Barbara made me feel extremely comfortable and confident in myself throughout the entire process. She showed me how to pose and coached me with my expressions. The hair and makeup artist did a fantastic job! I really had fun!” Courtney
“My experience was fantastic! I’ve never done this before, and am a plus sized woman. I was so nervous! Her collection of clothing, shoes, and jewelry was great, and she had clothes that fit me! I loved the final photos and was extremely happy with the overall experience and Barbara’s professionalism. I decided to do the photo shoot just a few days before my wedding. I was so happy my album was delivered just in time! I have already recommended her to friends!” Becky
“I felt so happy and empowered when I left! It was such a fun, exciting, and eye-opening experience! I recently got married on July 22 and I thought, what better wedding gift to give to my new husband, than a boudoir album. My husband absolutely loved my album! It was a gift to my husband, but also a gift to myself to embrace my body and self. I want to come back before we start our family.” Kim
“5 stars are an understatement for the experience and photos from Intimate Photography! Jaw-dropping, breath-taking, beautiful, sexy, classy – I could go on and on.
Scheduling was a breeze, and they were always responsive to inquiries. The wardrobe, shoes and accessories selections are great – it’s like a dress-up dream come true. Thank you for having my shoe size! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing out the best in me. My boudoir photos will be treasured for a lifetime!” Mary

The Photographer
Hello everyone!
My interest in boudoir photography began when I read an article about a boudoir photographer in New York who was photographing military wives and girlfriends to send to their partners on deployment.
Inspired by this, I launched Intimate Photography in San Diego 20 years ago. It has been a fulfilling career that has allowed me to capture the beauty and confidence of my clients through my lens. I love my work and spend most of my week working with clients or learning new trends in my profession.
Spending time with family and friends is a top priority for me…and of course having fun! I am grateful for the journey that has led me here and look forward to continuing to create meaningful and empowering experiences for my clients!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better.

Your Questions
Step into the world of boudoir photography, where every curve and contour is celebrated in a truly
intimate setting.Derived from the French word for bedroom, boudoir photography captures the essence of
femininity and empowers you to embrace your sensuality. From the soft lighting to the elegant poses,
each image tells a story of your confidence and self-love.
Our professional make-up artist will discuss a look that is just right for you. We want you to love the way you look, whether it’s a “natural” or “dramatic” look.
The clients you see on our website have given Intimate Photography permission to display their photographs. Your photographs are completely confidential and for your own use. We have a very private studio and we pride ourselves on our confidentiality.
If you have never had a professional photo shoot don’t worry. Our photographer is there to coach you every step of the way with poses and expressions. You will feel like a model when you leave!
At Intimate Photography we have our own unique style. Please don’t ask us to copy another photographer’s work. Be sure and go through our galleries to be sure we are the studio that meets your needs before booking your session. You’ve reviewed the web site and chosen your photographer wisely. Trust that your photographs will look amazing!
You are welcome to bring all of your own clothing, a few pieces from home or nothing from home. We have a nice variety of wardrobe, shoes and jewelry for your convenience. Most clients find more than enough outfits to wear. If you are hard to fit or overly critical, we encourage you to bring at least 5 of your own outfits.
Our extensive wardrobe, shoes and jewelry, includes corsets, bra and panty sets, bodysuits, teddies, baby dolls, lacy robes, lingerie dresses, informal veils and men’s white shirts. Sizes 2-6X. Bring your bridal wardrobe. Bring your garter belt and stockings. Wardrobe is pristine and laundered after every client. Shoes sizes range from 5 ½ to size 11. Don’t forget your wedding ring, engagement ring or any jewelry that has special meaning.
The Image Reveal and Ordering appointment will be scheduled a week to ten days after your session. You will meet with the photographer to view your amazing portraits and decide on your favorites. Depending on which album, calendar or package you choose, your order may be ready within a week to two weeks. Other packages and albums take a bit longer. Rush service is available upon request for a small fee.
We gladly accept Cash, Venmo, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover or ATM.
Please don’t invite family or friends to your session without checking with the studio first. The process works best for the photographer to work one on one with each client. However, if you are driving from out of town, feel free to have a girlfriend come with you. Let the studio know in advance. No men are allowed in the studio during the session.
Once you reserve your session, you will receive an extensive prep guide that will answer your tanning questions and SO much more!
Your boudoir session is about accentuating the parts of your body you love-what you like about your body-what your partner likes. It could be your hair, the curve of your back, your lips, your booty, your legs, or your eyes? Your partner loves you the way you are! Just ask! Setting health goals for your session is great! Go to the gym, tone your arms, whiten your teeth, lose or gain weight if that what makes you feel more confident-BUT it’s not necessary! Celebrate who you are now. Sometimes we focus on what we aren’t instead of celebrating who we are. (Those problem areas you just can’t love…don’t worry, we know how to conceal them. And there’s always retouching.) The perfect time for a boudoir session is now!
We have various sizes from 2 to 6X. We ask our curvy client to bring a supportive black bra and panties. If you feel more comfortable wearing your own clothing, please feel free to do so. Our shoes range from size 5-11. If in doubt, please call the studio for more information.
First and foremost, they are a gift you give yourself! To remind you at this time in your life how beautiful you are. It’s more than just a photo session it’s an experience every woman should have.
How revealing or conservative you want to be is up to you. Some clients do a variety of boudoir photos, some for “your eyes only” or for “his eyes only”. We offer nudes or semi-nudes, if requested. Our clients tell us they are much more relaxed with our female boudoir photographer and can be more open to trying more sensuous poses. At your pre-session consultation we will discuss posing and your comfort level.
We find that once our clients meet our staff, make their wardrobe selections and have their hair and make-up done, they feel relaxed and ready to enjoy their boudoir photo session.
Gift certificates can be purchased for any dollar amount.
