Through the Lens | A Peek Behind the Scenes

Hey gorgeous souls!

I am beyond thrilled to share a little sneak peek into the heart and soul of Kimberly Brooke Boudoir through our brand new behind-the-scenes video! For years, I've known the importance of creating this piece to showcase the magic that unfolds during our beauty and boudoir sessions in Houston, TX. After much planning, organizing, and a dash of courage, I finally made it happen, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you all.

As a Houston-based beauty and boudoir photographer, my mission has always been to create a safe and empowering space for women to explore their unique beauty and sensuality. This video is not just a glimpse into the process behind our photoshoots; it's a celebration of the journey we take with each of our clients. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, every moment is a testament to the strength and beauty within every woman.

Pulling together a team of incredible women to help bring this vision to life was an absolute dream. From the talented hair and makeup artists to the amazing videographer, every person involved poured their heart and soul into this project, and I am forever grateful for their dedication and passion.

Creating this video was more than just a ‘marketing strategy’ for me; it was a personal challenge to step out of my own comfort zone and showcase the heart and soul behind Kimberly Brooke Boudoir. It took investment, preparation, and a whole lot of organization, but seeing the final result has made every moment worth it.

So, why did I make this video? Simply put, I wanted to give you a glimpse into the magic that happens behind the lens with Kimberly Brooke in Houston, TX. I wanted to show you that boudoir photography is not just about taking beautiful pictures; it's about empowering women to embrace their beauty and feel confident in their skin.

This ‘promo’ peek behind the scenes, is a window into the journey that happens during a boudoir session. I wanted to pull back the curtain and reveal the beauty in the process—the laughter, the moments of vulnerability, the posing instruction, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that are captured through the lens. Boudoir photography is about so much more than aesthetics; it's about empowering women to see themselves in a new light, to embrace their unique beauty, and to feel confident and empowered in the skin they’re in. It's about celebrating every curve, scar, and imperfection as a testament to the beauty of being authentically and unapologetically oneself. Through this video, I hope to inspire women to step out of their comfort zones, to see themselves through a new lens, and to embrace their beauty, both inside and out.

After a few hours together in such an intimate setting, a sort of bond forms between myself and my clients. We laugh, we chat, and we create images that capture not just their outer beauty, but also the depth of who they are. This connection makes each session unique and fulfilling. I'm reminded of the privilege it is to be a part of each of my clients’ journeys, and I'm grateful for their trust in me.

I invite you to watch the video HERE on my experience page, and see for yourself the beauty and empowerment that Kimberly Brooke Boudoir is all about. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, and here's to many more beautiful moments together. Come as you are!

- With love and light, Kim

Houston Boudoir Photographer | HTX Here We Go

I’m finally sharing a few images from my first boudoir session in Houston, TX since relocating! It only took me a few months.

For those of you who don’t know yet. I actually started my photography business in Houston, well over a decade ago, before moving to Austin in 2012. Well now it’s come full circle. My family moved back to Houston this Fall after a lot of prayer and consideration. I’m so excited to continue with photography, be closer to family, home, some old friends, and a lot of new ones… all that good stuff. While I will still serve my existing and new Austin clientele, I’m excited to now call Houston my home. Austin, I will always love you. Houston, here we go!

This gorgeous gal was so fun to spend the day with in the new studio space. There are a few similarities to my Austin studio, and so many differences. The light was absolutely dreamy that day. It was great to explore this new space while shooting, and get creative in fresh ways. Even as an artist, you can get used to an environment and need something unknown to push your creative vision. I didn’t prep before shooting in the new space because I wanted to find my way as I went through that first session, using my own creative eye and energy to figure out what worked. It was awesome. While I miss my Austin studio, this place definitely made me feel a new energy and excitement about shooting. Here are just a few images we captured of the beautiful Miss H that day. I’m so ready to capture many more muses here.

Austin Boudoir Photographer | In Awe of Yourself

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.

This shoot was epic. The pop of red was life giving. And the gorgeous Miss S came ready to celebrate herself with this shoot. Here is a little of what she had to say about the experience.

“My experience was exactly what I needed to get me through a little bit of a rough patch ( both mentally and physically). I wasn't exactly an open book when walking in to my session, but it didn't matter to Kimberly. She was able to make me feel comfortable from the start and I felt like I was with a girlfriend that I had known for years. I always imagined what a photo shoot like this one would look like for me and if I would ever be able to really look at myself and focus on just myself alone in photos, but I honestly feel like even just from doing this for a few hours on one day, I can feel confident knowing I am beautiful!”

“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!”

A Beautiful Bride to Be | Austin Boudoir Photographer

This bride was a ray of light in our gorgeous studio space on the day of her shoot. She wanted to do this shoot as a gift for her fiancé on their wedding day. But as it always does, the gift ended up being for her!

“My favorite part of this experience was how comfortable Kim made me feel. It was the big photo reveal that made me realize that I didn't look incredibly ridiculous in all those crazy poses. She made me look beautiful, seductive, and sexy without lacking class and taste. I would absolutely do it again! I feel like it is a very empowering experience that upped my confidence!”

“I LOVE how much my husband loves the book. This gift is so much more meaningful than gifts I've given him in the past. I think it was great for my confidence and also awesome for my relationship with him. It's like seeing myself through my husbands eyes for the first time!”

Amaze Yourself | Austin Boudoir Studio

The lovely Mrs. J had been missing her husband for a year. And she wanted to welcome him home from deployment in a very special way. So she came to me for her boudoir session and she surprised and amazed herself too. She gave us 5 out of 5 stars and said “I had a wonderful experience! I'm so happy with my photos. My husband is too! I was really amazed at how great they turned out. I will definitely cherish them for years to come. “

Mission accomplished.

Thank you, J, for allowing me to share some of your gorgeous images. You are beautiful, talented, creative, and hilarious. I so enjoyed working with you on this surprise welcome home gift for your husband that turned into a gift to yourself. Thank you for making me laugh so hard. Thank you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Thank you for being you.

“Kimberly was incredibly professional and quickly put me at ease. She gave great direction and helped me feel way less awkward.”
