Empowering Boudoir for Women Everywhere

Hey girl! I'm darienne

Kentucky Boudoir Photographer

Go ahead, grab yourself a glass of wine ;)

I married my high school sweetheart, Christian, in October 2019. We have two pups and just recently welcomed home our baby girl! Most would say I am pretty conservative but before our wedding (and as a shock to my husband!) I decided to have my own boudoir shoot done. My plan was to do the shoot so that I could give the photos to my soon to be husband. To my surprise the shoot ended up being more for me than for my husband! After my session I felt empowered and my confidence was through the roof! My goal as a boudoir photographer is to share that same feeling with all women!

your day

The day will start with pampering! Have your hair and make up professionally done while you sit back and relax. We will chat while you are still clothed ;) We will layout lingerie options and then create beautiful images of YOU!

it's time

Time to see your images! Be prepared, this can be an emotional time for some clients. Grab your tissues! Viewing Sessions are virtual to keep it it convenient for everyone! During your viewing session you will get to view your gallery and a custom designed album! As well as choose which images you will use for prints, metal wall art or our retro viewfinder.

FAQ

I am not comfortable sharing my images online. Is that required to work with Hensley Photography?

You are never required to share your boudoir images online! I will also never pressure you to share your images! I love getting to share the beautiful images captured from each session but I understand that not everyone is comfortable with that, and that is 100% okay! If you are comfortable with your images being shared I will have you sign a model release. All of my galleries are privately delivered with a password and a unique download pin.

I don’t know how to pose. I’m not a model. I won’t look good.

I got you girl!! During your session you will see me do the pose myself and then I will pose you from head to toe when it is your turn!

When should I book?

We suggest you book 6 weeks before you want your products. This allows for any possible delays. *If you want products for a Christmas your session has to take place in October or prior.*

I’m older than (not as thin as, etc) the women on your website. Do you think I can still have a good shoot?

Girl...NEVER compare yourself! You are your own beautiful! Your body has done amazing things for you, don’t shame it! Not all of my boudoir clients sign a model release allowing me to share their photos publicly so you only get to see a small highlight of the beautiful women that are in front of my camera. I have shot very different body types!

What products are available for purchase?

We have so many options! Our most popular - our luxury albums! We also offer boxed prints, metal wall art, and retro-viewfinders. We will go over products more on your call!

Are payment plans available?

Yes! I offer pre-session payment plans for all boudoir collections! Book your session and start a pre-payment plan to have your collection paid before your session takes place! This allows you to get your products ordered right away! All payment plans are interest free. I offer bi-weekly or monthly payment options.

Do I bring my own lingerie? Do you have some I can use?

I encourage clients to bring their own selection of outfits that they already love and know fit their body! Don't feel like you have to go out and purchase lingerie though! All of my clients have access to the Client Closet, this is great for helping you step out of your comfort zone. I suggest 3-4 outfits for your session.

When will I see my photos?

We will schedule a virtual viewing session the day of your session. The day of your viewing session you will see your full gallery along with an album designed by us.

Will you photoshop my images?

My general rule is if it won't be there is a couple weeks I will remove it. There are exceptions to every rule - tan lines are difficult to remove so I soften them as much as I can but they will show. Pimples, bruises, scratches, etc are removed.
