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.

3 Reasons Every Woman Deserves a Boudoir Shoot for Valentine’s Day

by | | Boudoir

Tired of the same old Valentine’s Day? Looking for something fun and different? Try stepping out of your comfort zone.

You may think it’s a bit early to begin thinking about Valentine’s Day, but if you’ve been thinking about doing a boudoir photo shoot, then now is the perfect time to reserve your booking. Whether you’re going solo this Valentine’s Day or planning to spend it with someone special, a photoshoot is the perfect way to express the love you have. Boudoir sessions not only make wonderful gifts for someone you love, but they also are an amazing experience that gives the gift of self-expression and confidence.

A boudoir session is a powerful experience that every woman deserves to have and here, we offer three reasons why:

1. You’ll Fall in Love with Your Own Beauty

Contrary to what society tells us to believe, your body is beautiful the way it is. When you do a boudoir photo shoot, you get to own and define every curve of your body, and when you look at the beautiful outcome of the photos you will love the way it looks. It’s truly self-rewarding and you will fall in deeper love with the skin you’re in, gain confidence, and feel utterly gorgeous.

2. You Get Pampered

You do everything for everyone else all year long. Whether you’re a mother, significant other, or a female entrepreneur growing her career, you spend a lot of time putting yourself aside. A boudoir photoshoot is more than taking beautiful photos – it’s a luxurious experience that you’ll never forget. From getting your hair and makeup done to enjoying a glass of wine and relaxing, its hours you get all to yourself to simply enjoy.

3. A Gift of Sexy, Powerful Confidence

Valentine’s Day boudoir shoots are an opportunity to capture your body and spirit in a way that will stay with you for a lifetime well beyond the holiday. You can choose a boudoir shoot as a gift for yourself that will allow you to always look back on a moment when you felt empowered. You can also choose to give it as a gift to someone special who will enjoy seeing your confidence shine through. Remember, confidence is sexy and powerful and boudoir shoots are where you can uplift, reclaim, and celebrate your body.

Boudoir For Breast Cancer Awareness 🎗

by | | Boudoir

As women, we are constantly faced with feeling the need to compare ourselves to what is considered beautiful on the outside by society. We’re conditioned to believe we have to be a certain [bra]size, hair length, height and so forth to be considered desirable. But I believe what makes a woman beautiful is the spirit she possesses. Regardless of what each of us has been through, it’s inspirational and empowering to feel in control of our own destiny. That’s what makes a woman beautiful.
And…this is why I love working with Breast Cancer survivors. These women are an inspiration to us all, not only facing the hard challenges of cancer itself, but also having survived the unique challenge of being a woman in society in overcoming the emotional and physical changes to their bodies. As our beautiful client, Tracy, stated: “After two double Mastectomies, as well as reconstructive surgery, feeling pretty wasn’t really my thoughts about myself.”
I truly believe in the power of boudoir sessions for women who have overcome breast cancer because there is something so magical and beautiful that happens in these sessions.

“After a few hours with Lori and her amazing eye for what is truly beautiful, I was feeling good about my appearance again, thus, feeling more self-confidence than in the previous 5 months. Lori makes you feel beautiful and magical… What I learned is that I am beautiful, I am worthy, I am cancer free.” ━ Tracy

I feel moved and honored to be able to share these types of moments with other women, understanding the warmth, love and connection that needs to be felt to make it an unforgettable experience for them to remember. I personally have been fortunate to not have had breast cancer (although I have experienced the fear of waiting for test results with my own scares), but I remember my grandmother going through the experience of a double Mastectomy when I was a little girl.
During a time before reconstructive surgery as we know it today was an option for women, I remember my grandmother using bean bags to stuff her bra and the playful and positive attitude she had when I would play with them. I’m grateful my grandmother survived her battle, but I’m reminded of how important the little moments matter in a big way.
Over the last few decades, I have photographed many breast cancer survivors before and after their surgery and I’m always honored to be part of the healing journey on the inside and outside. I’ve learned so much about women being a photographer and this is what I know for sure: they are strong and resilient and the most loving creatures on earth.

I believe you have to be comfortable in your own skin because no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws and no one is exempt from this. When I would look in the mirror my grandmother would say pretty is as pretty does and it always stuck with me.

Surviving Breast Cancer is an experience that makes these women the beautiful masterpieces they are, and if you’re one of these amazing women I invite you to inquire about your own boudoir session and how we can create an unforgettable, empowering and beautiful experience together.
In the meantime, take a moment to watch this beautiful behind the scenes video of Tracy’s session and how we captured her beautiful, strong spirit.

Lux 4-Look Boudoir Session

Lux 4-Look Boudoir Session

by | | Boudoir, Business Branding, Classic Beauty

This stunning client, Dr. Nancy came to us last year to do a Lux 4-Look Boudoir Session in our studio and one of her looks included our new Vanity Fair set that complimented her beautiful, athletic body so well.

Nancy and Lori had such a wonderful connection and she loved her experience so much, she couldn’t wait to come back. After she viewed her images, she exclaimed that Lori will be her photographer for life!

Since Nancy was last in the studio, she went through a 90-day health challenge that she created. Her results were incredible and she was so proud, so she wanted to celebrate her accomplishments with another 4-look boudoir/classic beauty session.

This time we used our newly renovated white room, along with a few other sets with new props and then took her to the yellow wild flowers with our new vintage peacock chair for her final look.

She has also chose Lori to take her Business and Branding images for website, social media and book release (more of that to come later)!

Here’s what she had to say about the session:

“Lori Brystan and her fantastic team at Brystan Studios are simply the best of the best. I am so impressed each time we work on a project together. Her photographs are artistic, top notch quality, and each frame tells a beautiful story that flows and creates a priceless memory. Lori’s creative eye and ability to translate what you desire conceptually is mind blowing. I can’t say enough about the experience you have from the moment you sit in her brainstorming session to the time you get your finished photographs in hand published in a gorgeous book. If you want the best, choose Lori Brystan.” – Nancy

We love seeing our clients grow and evolve, and then come to use to capture these transformative moments in their lives. Whether it’s only a few months or a few years apart, it is so special to be apart of each of your lives. We thank you for coming to us to celebrate who you are!
