Ethereal Boudoir | Girl with a Serious Dream

ethereal boudoir
I LOVE shooting boudoir photography and this ethereal boudoir session was dreamy from beginning to end. It’s so sweet, sexy, and empowering…I suggest every woman must do it at least once in her life. And if you’re a soon-to-be-bride, trust me, your groom’s eyes will pop out of his sockets when he receives this special gift on your wedding day. So, do it for him or for yourself, just do it! 😉

I’ve admired Girl with a Serious Dream bridal robes for soooo long and it was a treat to have our bride wear this romantic outfit. When I was getting married, I looked high and low for something similar but unfortunately couldn’t find anything like this at the time. This gorgeous boutique carries the most delicate lace robes and I’m seriously tempted to get one now just because!
