Behind the Scenes with Emily Simpson: A Stunning Boudoir Shoot on Real Housewives of Orange County

by | | Boudoir, Classic Beauty

Exclusive Brystan Studios Feature

We were absolutely thrilled to host Emily Simpson from Real Housewives of Orange County in our studio for an unforgettable boudoir shoot!

The day was nothing short of spectacular as we worked meticulously to capture Emily’s essence and celebrate her stunning natural beauty.

From the moment Emily walked in, her confidence and humorous nature set the tone for a fun session. We spent time perfecting the lighting and selecting sets that would truly showcase her unique features.

One of the standout choices was a gorgeous olive canvas backdrop, which perfectly complemented Emily’s stunning hazel eyes and added a touch of class to the shoot.

Throughout the session, Emily exuded empowerment and grace. It was a joy to see her embrace this new chapter with such enthusiasm and self-assurance. The experience was more than just a photo shoot; it was a celebration of her beauty, strength, and personal growth.

We are so incredibly excited to share the full segment of Emily’s boudoir shoot. Be sure to check it out and witness the magic for yourself!

Celebrate The Holidays In The Best Way!

by | | Boudoir, Classic Beauty

For more than 30 years, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help families of all shapes and sizes, and from all walks of life, capture their love for each other in gorgeous family portraiture. It didn’t take me long to realize that I wasn’t just taking family portraits, I was capturing priceless memories and their journey of growth together. Being a part of these moments brings me so much joy: from Boudoir sessions with brides in love to engagement sessions with couples; from maternity and newborn sessions to growing family portrait shoots – each session reminds me of the beauty and love that is unique to each family. 

Something I always try to keep in mind when photographing families is that no two families are alike in the ways they express love. Each family has its own unique style, series of inside jokes, list of traditions, and shared dreams. Capturing their story and the individualized bond between family members is my goal as a photographer. Through our discovery and planning process, I customize each session based on your family’s one-of-a-kind connection, taking into consideration things like hobbies, preferred location, and even favorite memories together. I also make sure to consider your home decor, because where’s the fun in a family portrait if you can’t hang it anywhere? Your family’s smiling faces deserve to be the focal point in your home, acting as a daily reminder of your moments of joy together. 

These moments are precious, but they go by too quickly. Before you know it your newborn will be walking, your toddler will be starting middle school, and the freshman in high school will suddenly be a freshman in college. Make sure to savor these moments while you can.

Christmas In July: It’s Never Too Early For Holiday Shopping

by | | Boudoir, Classic Beauty

By the time we hit July, most people are over the sun-kissed, watermelon-sorbet, beach-vibes. We’re racing indoors for the sweet relief of air conditioning and taking shopping sprees to find clothing that won’t immediately absorb every drop of sweat (or, at least won’t show it). We’re fighting to still feel self-confident while drenched in sweat and realizing our shorts might not fit as well as they did last summer.

The illusion of a “hot girl summer” has seemed to fade and left us trying to just make it through the hottest months of the year.

You’ll be spoiled with a luxurious experience of getting your hair and makeup done, enjoying a nice glass of wine, and relaxing; Letting everyone else focus on you for a change.

Valentine’s Boudoir: A Celebration Of Love

by | | Boudoir

Valentine’s Day this year is going to be extra special for many. For some, it’s a
celebration of a new phase of love. For others, it’s a celebration of love reignited
after the pandemic. And for many, it’s a time when they’ll reflect on how much
love they’re surrounded by. Regardless of what you’re celebrating this year…
what I appreciate about Valentine’s Day is that you don’t have to have a partner
in order to celebrate it.


Love can mean a variety of things to different people. The love of a mother, for
example, is a deep unconditional love that can be celebrated all year around.
The love of a best friend who knows all the parts of you and still loves you is
another. I personally love to use Valentine’s Day each year to show love to my
beautiful daughter. Love has many forms, but one of the most important forms of
love you can embrace is the love you have for yourself. We are our toughest
critic and often forget that Valentine’s Day can also be about falling a little more
in love with who we’ve become.

When I do Valentine’s Day Boudoir Photoshoots, oftentimes it’s for women who are wanting to surprise their partners with a gift that helps to freeze time – a moment when they feel the most passion in their love story that they’ll want to remember forever. But the truly special and unique Valentine’s Day sessions I get to do are the ones that simply celebrate who the woman is. I love that these sessions are focused on creatively showcasing her personality and unique beauty. More importantly, it’s about embracing the experiences that have made her who she is.


You see, Valentine’s Day shoots are works of art. Yes, they’re literal pieces of art… but YOU are the work of art. You are beautiful because of your experiences and the strength you’ve had to work through the toughest moments. So when I think of Valentine’s Day and what it means, I think of a moment in time that we can pause and see the beautiful masterpieces we’ve become. Boudoir shoots are an excellent way to capture that moment so that even on your toughest days, you’re reminded how truly beautiful and strong you are.

Book Your Valentine’s Special Offer!

So cheers to you this Valentine’s Day, and all the love that you share. And speaking of sharing, here are some of my favorite Valentine’s Day boudoir moments over the years:

Jump Into Spring With a Garden Goddess Session

Jump Into Spring With a Garden Goddess Session

by | | Boudoir

Spring is a beautiful time of the year. It’s a season full of changes to the world around us, as well as within us. It’s a time of the year when we’re shedding the old and stepping into the new – a new wardrobe, life, goals, physique, and style. Boudoir photography is a wonderful opportunity year-round to celebrate who you are, but Spring is particularly special because it’s full of vibrant colors and renewed energy, creating a new aesthetic for outdoor photography.

Choosing an outdoor springtime location for a boudoir photo shoot can be a difficult task. Although there are diverse plants and flowers on display, cultural events and activities happening such as music festivals, walks, outdoor yoga, and celebratory events. These can make it difficult to find the perfect aesthetic undisrupted and private.

A garden, however, is one of the most perfect locations for an outdoor spring-themed boudoir session- it’s private and provides a tranquil backdrop, and is usually full of beautiful colors and aesthetics, making it a great space for portraits. But, not everyone has a green thumb or has access to a garden that provides the right look for a boudoir shoot. If you’re not up for wandering, you’ll be happy to know that we are launching our spring promo that features an outdoor boudoir session in my own home and garden. 

The Garden Goddess session is an opportunity to get beautiful boudoir portraits taken with a colorful backdrop and beautiful natural lighting that will bring out your inner goddess. Imagine sipping a Mimosa with the wind in your hair and the sun on your back with your favorite music playing – that’s the tranquil experience our Garden Goddess promo event offers.

 Many clients have absolutely loved their outdoor boudoir photoshoots in my home garden studio for that very reason, as well as the beautifully vibrant flowers and ivy, day bedding, fountains, and swings that it has to offer in a private setting.

We’re so excited to launch this year’s Garden Goddess spring promotion that we’ve put together a video to give you a glimpse of this beautiful setting that will transport you, relax you, and bring out your inner goddess.
