Boudoir : Anna

The first time I met Anna was at a delicious, little cafe in the heart of Tel Aviv. We had been corresponding and following each other's boudoir photography for awhile. Her work is absolutely stunning, and I fell in love with her images as soon as I laid eyes upon them.

Even though Anna doesn't live here in Israel, she comes whenever she gets the chance. On her last visit, we scheduled a morning to photograph each other. I was really excited, albeit nervous to have the experience of my own boudoir session as well as photographing someone who's work I admire.

Seeing as we both live and breathe boudoir, we couldn't forget the necessities: a beautiful, intimate space in Neve Tzedek, hot coffee, music to set the mood and the beyond talented makeup artist, Sarah Zohar.

Anna is a beautiful, laid back woman, full of life and smiles. I was incredibly honored to have captured even a bit of that on film...

Boudoir : Mrs. J

It is always wonderful to find inspiration when you travel. We flew to Minneapolis, Minnesota to visit our family and friends in the Spring, and I had the opportunity photograph this beautiful woman. I've known her forever; since playgrounds and pre-school. After a decade of only Facebook to communicate, it was so nice to talk and catch up.

I love that even though we live in Israel, I am able to connect and re-connect to people through my passion of photography. Here are some of my favorites from our lovely afternoon together...

Boudoir : Yulia

From the beginning, I could see what a kind and beautiful woman I was about to have the pleasure of working with. Yulia is originally from Moscow, but in the recent years, she has decided to make a life for herself here in Israel. After speaking for just a little while, I learned that she works as a pole dancing instructor at a well known studio in Jerusalem. As I photographed her, it became evident how strongly passionate and talented Yulia is at what she does. The way that she is in touch with her body was inspiring, and the way she utilized her emotional and physical strength was something to simply admire. All of the elements in this boudoir session, from the hair and makeup by Sarah Zohar, to this gorgeous home in Beit Zayit and the quiet confidence that Yulia withheld, created results that I've fallen in love with...

Boudoir : Mushkie

This is a woman who wears her sense of self on her sleeve. A bartender, foodie, city girl who dyed her hair an awesome shade of gray and who's sarcasm is sure to make you laugh.

During Mushkie's boudoir session, her courage and self-confidence radiated throughout this beautiful home near Jerusalem. I can't tell you what an absolute pleasure it was to photograph someone who embraces their unique qualities and drops her inhibitions at the door...
