Houston Boudoir Magic | A Client Review that Radiates Empowerment

I am thrilled to share one of THE most incredible reviews from a recent Houston boudoir photography client. This remarkable woman, who is an absolute queen, stepped into my Houston studio with a mix of nerves and excitement. Together, we created pure magic, capturing images that radiated with her inner beauty and strength.

During our Houston boudoir photo session, we laughed, drank champagne (ok… chugged), and we embraced the empowering vibes of Lizzo herself. My client’s confidence and fierce energy were truly inspiring, reminding me of the lyrics, "I was born like this, don't even gotta try.”

When I sent her a sneak peek of her boudoir images, her response left me beaming. She exclaimed, "You're a witch!" To which I responded, “Yea, but I’m a GOOD witch.” It was a testament to the transformative power of our Houston boudoir photo collaboration and the way the images truly captured her essence.

Her review truly warmed my heart, and left me laughing out loud. See her ACTUAL review below.

Tell us about your experience. What was your favorite part? How has it changed you or the way you see yourself? Would you do it again? What else can you tell us about this experience?

“After my divorce, I needed some serious self-love. I had followed Kim on social for a long time before then, and every woman she posted always looked so stunning. I figured having my photos taken might give me a little confidence boost (or, at least, I hoped it would), but I was entirely unprepared for how — dare I even say it! — sexy (ah! ) I would feel during and after the shoot.

Frankly, I dreaded picture day. I was nervous and scared from the second I booked my shoot. Even after my make-up artist and hair stylist worked their magic on my ~lewk~ I still wanted to chicken out. I don’t know how she did it, but Kim made me feel comfortable from start to finish. We laughed a lot (so much so, sometimes, it was hard for me to stop long enough to “smize” as directed), and I actually had FUN — a word I never thought I’d use to describe my experience being semi- or completely naked in front of a camera.

I felt great leaving the shoot, but it was nothing compared to how I would feel during my photo reveal. Before then, I’d never seen or felt good about my body, so the experience was like seeing myself through someone else’s eyes, and I finally admitted to myself I looked pretty damn good. Beyond changing the way I see and feel about my body today, it was incredibly empowering to do the scary thing (#baddie ), and I have some more sway to my strut these days. Mission accomplished.

It took 34 years and a team of three talented women for me to finally understand self-love is so much more than booking myself a massage every once in a while. I plan to do another boudoir shoot one day, and before then, I’ve already decided beauty photos are next.

Just as Kim’s beautiful pictures and the gorgeous women in them inspired me, I hope my experience is the final nudge someone needs to decide to do their own boudoir shoot. I promise you; it is so very worth it.”

How likely are you to recommend the Kimberly Brooke Boudoir experience to your friends, family, colleagues, etc... and WHY? :

“If you’re considering boudoir photos (and if you’re not, you should!), Kim is the only photographer I recommend.

I recommended her to any and everyone who would listen even before seeing my photos, based on the photo shoot experience alone. After my photo reveal, I even surprised myself by actually posting a few pictures on social — *gasp!* — something I NEVER thought I’d do.

Kim makes the entire experience comfortable (dare I say, fun) from start to finish, and her photos are nothing short of STUNNING. She’ll help you hit all the right poses, even the ones that seem like a body couldn’t possibly bend that way, and her talented beauty team feels like your personal glam squad. You’ll look and, more importantly, feel beautiful.

I couldn’t be any happier with my experience and photos, and I appreciate how my confidence has shifted. I plan to do another shoot one day, and I hope you will too… it’s so worth it.”

Houston Boudoir | An Honest Review

This amazingly beautiful, kind, funny, sparkling woman shot with me recently. We chose her favorite images for her album, then she later came back and said she had to have more of them, she just couldn’t leave them behind. She was truly proud of her photos and felt so amazing about herself after the experience that she knew she wanted to have every image she loved in her album. I’m so glad she did. We added the images and her album was spectacular. While I can only show you anonymous images from her shoot, I just had to share a few because I loved this session, loved this woman, and loved all of her images so much! Here is what she had to say about the KBB Experience.

Tell us about your experience. What was your favorite part? : I can't compliment Kimberly Brooke enough for such a beautiful and empowering experience! I purchased this boudoir session as a gift for my husband for our anniversary, but I soon realized that this was really a gift for both of us. I was nervous going into this experience and didn't feel like I had enough time to "prepare" my body, but after reading reviews, I realized one will never feel like they are perfectly ready so I just went for it! WOW, I was floored by the outcome.

Kimberly made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. She guided me throughout the whole process and chose poses and settings that were tasteful and sexy. She has so much experience and brought my personality and sexiness to life in ways that I didn't think were possible. The entire process was so fun- from the hair and makeup at the beginning of the shoot, to the day of the reveal. All of it was filled with laughter and she was so helpful every step of the way!

When Kimberly revealed the photos to me, I was speechless! I had no idea she captured what she did and I felt so proud and confident. What a gift she gives so many women! My husband was beyond surprised and still can't believe this gift! I am so thankful for what Kimberly has given me. I would encourage all women to spend some time with her and do this for themselves. To my friends that say they aren't ready, I tell them that they will never feel perfectly "ready'… but I am so glad I went for it! Trust me, you will be so happy that you did!

How likely are you to recommend the Kimberly Brooke Boudoir experience to your friends, family, colleagues, etc. : I am already recommending her! She gave me the best gift! She empowered me and gave me a sense of confidence and such a beautiful and unique gift for my husband and myself. She made me feel so relaxed and took care of every detail each step of the way.

When your amazing client just goes ahead and writes your blog post for you! And I quote… “If I had to describe this experience in one word, it would be empowering. What started as a gift for my husband, quickly morphed into a gift to myself; one that I will cherish for decades to come. Kimberly made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very start. She guided me throughout the process and not once did I ever feel self conscience. Even when I was likely being awkward (I seriously have an entirely new respect for professional models), Kimberly managed to make me laugh thereby creating better images than I could have hoped for. She is a master of her craft and was so inventive and creative which not only made the entire session more exciting but ultimately resulted in gorgeous photos!! I am still in awe of the final images and album. I would relive the experience again in a heartbeat. It has made me feel beautiful and sexy, two words that I would never use to describe myself but now feel that I embody. This experience has given me the opportunity to see myself in an entirely different light and for that, I am beyond grateful!”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly Brooke Boudoir to everyone and anyone!!! After this experience, I truly believe that every woman should have the opportunity to see themselves through the lenses of boudoir images! Every woman deserves the gift of Kimberly Brooke Boudoir!!”

Thank you lovely! You were such a joy to meet, get to know, and capture on camera.I truly hope we get to work together again. XOX.

“What a treat it was to work with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir! As I approached my 40's I knew I wanted to do a shoot to document this milestone and gift a very special present to myself. I wanted to feel sexy and capture it since I often take little time for myself and have no time to even put on makeup with working full time and being a busy wife and mama! I also wanted to surprise my husband with a very special present. BOY! Was he surprised!”

“When we did the reveal of my photos I felt very special and beautiful and was blown away by her photography skills and the natural beauty that showed in every photo. I have always felt just "cute" in the girl next door sort of way, certainly NOT sexy, and I had become self conscious of my body (and wrinkles) after having kids and entering my 40's but WOW! how incredible it was step out of my comfort zone and ultimately see photos that made me feel SEXY, gorgeous, empowered, strong and confident!”


”I would recommend this experience to anyone and I would only do this with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir! I love that her Boudoir photos show gorgeous women as themselves. Such an amazing and empowering experience from the beginning to the end result. Can't wait to do it again!”

Bridal Boudoir | Austin Boudoir Studio

The beautiful, just married, Miss “M” gave us 5 out of 5 stars! And I give you just a few of my favorite images from her sexy, bridal boudoir session. This gorgeous gal got married in Italy a few short months ago in a super private ceremony with just herself and her handsome groom… (swoon) and she wanted to knock his socks off for their first Valentines Day as a married couple. I’d say the bar is set pretty high from here on out. But she ended up blowing herself away with these gorgeous images.

“M” cracked me up when she said, “I realized during this process that I really love leather and lace! Has anyone ever worn as much leather and lace as me?!” Well… up until her session, no one else had worn that much leather and lace together, but I’m so glad that she set that standard because her wardrobe was on point and I loved it! ALL OF IT! And her pink wedding stilettos made a special appearance. H-O-T-T!

Here is what she said of her Austin TX Boudoir Experience with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir…

“Kim was amazing from start to finish! I was nervous but she guided me through the whole experience. I specifically appreciated the (Prep Guide) she sent beforehand with what to expect and it really made me feel more comfortable. She is so warm in person and makes you feel great! Even better, she would do the pose beforehand to literally show me how to do it. I love the images so much. The reveal was fun going through all of the photos and I greatly appreciated her expertise in helping me pick out my photos for my book. She is a pro! I also have to brag on the hair and makeup gals who were also amazing. My Victoria’s Secret hair lasted for days!”

I See You | Austin Boudoir Photographer

I am always so incredibly honored anytime I book a session with a new client, or a repeat client. Literally, every single time, every day, it never gets old. However, when someone tells me they are coming in from out of town or out of state, I just get giddy. What an honor that people would take an entire day or weekend to come visit me in Austin and have me capture their portraits, when I know they have options closer to them. It’s like I can’t believe it, every time.

This beautiful boudoir client came to see me from Houston, and she was such a rock star. She knew exactly what she wanted, and was more than ready to give the session her all and get gorgeous images for her upcoming wedding, as a gift to her fiancé. What I think she did NOT realize, was the effect that the session experience and resulting images would have on HER.

I always tell people that this experience is powerful, but those words don’t become real until you actually feel it for yourself. And Miss T felt it! Here is what she had to say about her session with me…

“YOU MUST DO THIS!”

Read on girl, read on! Because the best part is at the end!

“You absolutely must book with Kimberly Brooke Boudoir. I had known for a while that I really wanted to do a shoot for my fiancé for his wedding gift and started looking for photographers about a year ago. I came across Kimberly Brooke Boudoir and absolutely fell in love with her images. Upon booking, the nerves of being shot in lingerie (and even possibly nude) started to set in.”

“I was very nervous at the beginning of our shoot but Kim was seriously SUCH a delight. She made me laugh, gave amazing direction and ultimately made me feel incredibly sexy and comfortable. When we did the reveal I was so impressed by not only her photography skills, the attention to detail, how professional and artistic they were but ultimately, how beautiful and sexy I felt I looked. I had never seen myself in that light or that sexy EVER. I have always been self conscious of my body and it was liberating to see myself and not even think once that I looked anything other than amazing. I was literally brought to tears. I could not WAIT to send my girlfriends the pictures and they were all in love as well. When I gave my husband the photo album for on our wedding day I have never seen his face light up so much. He literally looks at it all the time and even our wedding photographer who captured the reveal told me, "I have seen many brides give their husbands a boudoir photo album but I have never seen anybody react the way that your husband did". That just goes to show you how AMAZING it turned out. I can't wait to do it again and document another stage in my life for not only my husband, but also myself. I truly cherish having these to look back at and be reminded that even with my imperfections I can look DAMN GOOD.”

Hearing these words for the first time, also bought me to tears! Then later, this woman also shared even more details about her experience. And this my dear friends, is what it’s all about. It’s why I do this thing. These words, this truth, these realizations. Read on…

… “today as I reflect on all of the AMAZING women I’ve met, know & wish I knew, I realized just how fucking proud we should be of ourselves as women, clothes or no clothes. Being a woman is hard. The physical expectations put on us by society, & ourselves, can be debilitating. I’ve struggled with my body image as long as I can remember (which terrifies me to think about how much harder it is for girls growing up today) but after getting these pictures back I was in TEARS. But these were tears of gratitude for my body, for looking at myself and thinking HOLY SHIT I LOOK AMAZING. I can honestly say these were the first time I looked at myself NAKED & was proud to be the owner of that body. So my message is this : YOU ARE A WOMAN & THAT MAKES YOU FUCKING FABULOUS IN EVERY DAMN WAY. So happy International Womens Day to all you beautiful women. We rock. Now go take some naked pics of yourself & be proud. Or hire Kimberly Brooke Boudoir & she’ll do it for you.”

And there you have it. Sometimes you need to see yourself through the eyes of someone else for the fog to be lifted. To see clearly that you are beautiful just as you are and can be SO EFFING PROUD to be who you are, in YOUR body, in YOUR life. THIS is my why.

The experience will be different for every single woman, but that is because every single one of us is unique, and has our own story. And I love that. I love it so much that I cry my own tears of gratitude when I hear the hearts of my clients and how their experience with me changed a part of their life or their self-perspective, and that I somehow get to be a part of this. It’s powerful stuff y’all.
