Olga- Orange County Boudoir Photography at Brystan Studios
Timeless Orange County Glamour Photography for the Elegant Woman. Something every woman can celebrate!
I can’t tell you how many woman over 40 call me on the phone to book boudoir appointments. Almost always with a list of concerns. They have hopes that I will be able to wave my magic wand and make all of their so called flaws disappear (and I do). I can totally relate since I just turned 50. My own list of complaints is growing as is my waistline. I do all the right things: yoga, Retin-A, I try to eat right most of the time. But, I know that deep down self-acceptance and giving attention to those we love is what really matters in life. This is what ultimately makes us beautiful. So I bought some bigger clothes and revamped my personal lingerie collection. I’m focusing on the things I do like about myself. When I finally meet my clients for their shoot they almost always blow me away with how they describe themselves. Their critical description is not the way they look at all. They are gorgeous, classic beauties! Then we play dress up, turn the music on, pour some wine or pop some champagne and start shooting. When they say it’s getting hot in here I now say yes it is. You’re hot! That burst of heat is a flood of woman power. Olga is one of the many women who have recently inspired me. Her tears of joy after seeing her amazing boudoir book reminded me of why I do what I do. And I love it.

How do I prepare for a photo shoot? I get this question daily. Here’s what I tell our clients. The most important thing is to keep it simple, relax and have fun. This applies to everyone for any type of shoot.
How do I prepare for a boudoir shoot? Do I bring my own wardrobe? Do I do my own hair & make-up? Do I spray tan? Can I bring a friend for support? All of these are great questions. You’ll want to bring a beautiful black bra & panties with you and thigh high’s if you want to wear them. If you’re doing a bridal or a softer look, bring a beautiful white (or light colored) bra and panties and thigh highs. Feel free to bring a sexy bustier for your shoot. Over the years, we’ve invested in several beautiful items that you are welcome to use. We’ve got beautiful wraps, jewelry, hats, gloves and gorgeous feather boas.
We have a large wardrobe, hair and make-up room. You can upgrade your shoot to include hair & make-up if you would like. We ask that all clients come with their hair styled as they normally wear it and we will add soft curls & spray to their hair. If we are doing your make-up, we like to do the full make-up for you. We’ve got every colors for every skin tone. Our photographers are also highly trained make-up artists.
Then there’s the spray tan question. No, no, no, please don’t spray tan. Spray tans on occasion can be nice but never before a shoot. You just don’t know how the color will turn out or how even the coverage will be. You also wouldn’t want any of the color to rub off on your clothes or the sheets during the shoot.
We know how important it is to bring a friend for moral support. Boudoir shoots can be a little intimidating if you haven’t done one before. Please feel free to bring a friend with you however, for your sake, we don’t allow friends, boyfriends or husbands on the set. We want you to feel your most comfortable and not self conscious.
Last but not least, don’t wait until your body is in “perfect shape”. Most of us never feel like we’re in the best shape. Trust that our photographers will play upon your finest features and create beautiful works of art for you.
I was asked by a gentlemen yesterday if we have something for everyone? The answer is a definite YES! Brystan Studios prides ourselves on catering to the clients needs. It’s all about you and making your experience here one that you will remember forever. We want you to be so proud of all of your photos and we want you to enjoy them for many years to come.
Boudoir photography is one of those areas where everyone has their own comfort levels. Each women is unique in her own sexuality. Women also know exactly what their partner loves and doesn’t love. Our photographers get to know each client and know exactly what they want to get out of their photo shoot. Trust me when I tell you that our photographers Lori Brystan and Jackie Owen are masters at creating works of art for their clients.
Don’t worry about weather you’ve got the perfect outfit, the perfect body, the perfect hair and make-up. It’s not about all of that. It’s just about you. You being the most beautiful that you can be. You being a sexy goddess for the day. You being in a fantasy photo shoot for the day like a super model.
It’s also about us. It’s about us delivering photos that will blow your mind. It’s about us

I really do love all of the works of art that are created here. It’s so fun and exciting to see the finished product. It’s a beautiful, unique story told by the photographer about the client, about you. If you are looking for photos that you will want to show off to all of your friends, you’ve found the right place. We are Brystan Studios and we are thankful for our clients trusting us to be a part your love story.
When women walk into Orange County’s premiere boudoir photo studio, Brystan Studios, for their boudoir photo shoot they all have a story to tell. I’m always so curious as to what their story is. Some women are just very sexy, very in shape, very much comfortable with their body and happy to flaunt it! I’m very envious of those women. A lot of them tell me they have Pilates to thank for that. Note to self; sign up for a Pilates class ASAP! Of course, there are the shy ones that have wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot their whole lives and finally just bit the bullet! It takes them a while to loosen up and even might need a little glass of champagne to release their inhibitions. Those are the best. When they see the results of what Orange County Master Photographer, Lori Brystan has created for them, they literally get goose bumps. Some even shed a few tears when they see their work of art from Lori. But the best stories that I hear are the stories of a woman that is doing her boudoir shoot for just her self. She wants to assure herself that she is sexy. She wants to capture herself looking her most beautiful and vulnerable. She wants photos that she can look back at many years from now and think, “damn, I looked great”! I did my first boudoir photo shoot when I was 20 years old. I did it for my then boyfriend and he loved them. The boyfriend is long gone and I couldn’t be happier. My photos…I’ve still got them and I still love them. I’m now 43 years old, happily married with 3 amazing kids. Sometimes I come across my boudoir photos and look at them and think, “damn, I looked great”! I’m lucky enough to work with Lori and be a part of her amazing team. I can’t wait for the chance to have Lori do a boudoir shoot of me. I know that even though I’m slightly older, I trust Lori to make me look even sexier than I was when I was 20! Stay tuned for then and now photos. ~Michelle
