SUPER BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Okay, I am sitting here so tense right now because I am about to spill the beans on a huge secret I have been holding back on for awhile! Ahhhh, here goes. "Woman Captured by Boucher "is changing it's name to, "The Boudoir Divas." There, I said it. Whew. I am terrible at keeping in surprises, so you can imagine how hard this was for me. I know, it is just a name change. But for me it is like having a baby and deciding 4 years later that you are going to change her name from Sara to Jessica. Yowsers.

I know we have mentioned it a few times, but a while back Kimberlee West (at the time a boudoir photographer for Woman Captured) and I wrote a book about boudoir photography for other photographers. We didn't realize how much demand there was for this sort of education and have been traveling the country (and soon Paris and Australia!!!) to teach other boudoir photogs about adding this to their services. It has been a little challenging marketing the two individually. Initially when I start Woman Captured I intended to make the portraits very artsy, more of a black and white fine art appeal. And although we definitely do get a bit of that, I would have to say that our overall feel and marketing has definitely gone in a much girlier, kitchy, "DIVA-ish" direction.

Here is an example of our recent publication for photographers.

So begins the change-over proces. A gradual transition that we hope won't confuse our faithful and wonderful clients too much. We would appreciate any feedback you may want to offer us as we go down this uncharted territory. Heart ya'll- Marissa Boucher

What is boudoir photography to Woman Captured

In order to remain elegant and classy, it is very important that Woman Captured have a clear definition of what boudoir photography is to us. Woman Captured believes that boudoir photography is private and sexy photography for his eyes only. It is the opportunity to show every woman that she is uniquely beautiful. It is a rewarding experience that we believe every woman should treat herself to. We don't believe that you need to hit the gym for a month before your shoot, let's celebrate who you are right now. My friend wonderful friend Leah had a shoot recently and I just love how she describes what is important to her in a photographer. As we have mentioned before we provide educational materials to other boudoir photographers, so you will notice that she is addressing other photogs, but I still think her words ring true as it is our hope here at WC that we make it clear that we truly believe that every woman is create uniquely beautiful. Thanks for your help Leah, we loved photographing you as always.
