Holidays are just around the corner, and it is already the time to get your gifts sorted! While we are all in for the traditional stocking stuffers, there is a very unique one that is a favorite with our muses – boudoir photos! Classy and striking personal boudoir series presented in a custom Folio Box make for the most unique holiday gift for your special someone (and yes, yourself included)!

We have only a couple of boudoir photo session spots left for this season’s holiday deadline. Be sure to get yourself on the naughty list in time!

Celebrating milestones

November 7, 2022 | Maternity | Leave a comment

We believe that, all in all, we are in the business of celebrating life! Our photo sessions celebrate milestones, femininity in all its shapes and forms, fitness, beauty, achievements, new families, and new beginnings. We are here to capture some of life’s most wonderful and fleeting moments, so that they may forever be preserved in their photographic time capsules. It is something that we believe to be quite important based on our own and our muses’ experiences and like to approach from many different angles. For one, there is the individuality of every one of our muses that we aim to bring out using different styling and posing techniques. Then we love to explore the story itself by revealing it in a series of specially tailored set ups. And last, but not least, we use a variety of different presentation methods to create beautiful printed products that may keep these moments accessible and preserved in time.

Oftentimes, these stories don’t end within one session and continue as we celebrate our muses’ next milestones. This is when we would often continue the storyline, paying an hommage to the past captures while creating something new and unique. And such sessions are always so very special for us, as we feel honored to be there for different stages of our muses’ lives.

We had a great pleasure of celebrating one such new milestone with our lovely returning muse Miss C. She first came to us to celebrate an anniversary of her wedding and capture her beautiful wedding dress in more detail. (See this photo session here – reminiscing her day). This time, we got to celebrate a new milestone as Miss C. and her husband were now expecting their first baby! It was a whole lot of fun to work together again and explore this incredible moment in depth. We created some classic, light and airy looks and contrasted them with a series of contemporary, artificial light set ups. This combination is quite reminiscent of her last session and yet was made to be entirely new and unique! And, this time, we even got to feature her wonderful husband in a few striking photos of them together.

We think this session turned out very beautifully, and are very excited to show you a little peak into it. And you can check out our Instagram for the latest behind the scenes.

Let’s play

We believe that boudoir plays by no rules. Aside from photography’s more technical aspects such as angles, aperture, lighting, focal points, and other specialized details (which we take fully upon ourselves at Kissed By Light Studio), it is a genre that is meant to liberate rather than constrain. It is meant to help free yourself from personal as well as society’s imposed limitations, and begin a journey of self discovery. We have met so many women that would come to experience a photo session for themselves in order to break away from such silly limitations as age (because nobody is ever too old to start celebrating their body), other people’s opinion (because nobody can tell you who to be or what to wear), and even personal opinion (because everyone can step into the role of a boudoir model and look spectacular). A very unique and private experience, a photo session can be the outlet to reveal the very things we may have been hiding from the world and celebrate all the aspects of who we truly are.

Among boudoir’s many variations, there is one that we absolutely love to explore – the BDSM one. Because putting on constraints (that look great, of course) can actually be very liberating! It is a photography genre that can be intimidating but very beautiful when done correctly by a photographer with good experience. At our studio, all of our photographers practice in the genre and experiment with creating new looks and set ups for it. We usually have a few beautiful, BDSM style items in our closet such as corsets, lingerie, accessories, and shoes, and use them to expand on our more unique, moody boudoir stories. Such was the case with our lovely model Katrina (also our studio’s brilliant photography assistant), when we decided to put together a new photo series with the BDSM context. We worked with a variety of beautiful leather items and styled her looks to create some of our most striking photos to date!

Sparkling beauty

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022 | Maternity | Leave a comment

While there is no doubt that photographic art can have a lot of different forms, ideas, and interpretations, one thing is for certain – it’s greatest feat is the ability to capture beauty that lies beyond the surface. Revealing the emotions, depth, and that special spark behind our subjects is something that we strive to achieve during every photo session. We look to getting to know every one of our lovely muses and finding ways to portray what we find. And, of course, it is a process of collaboration as our muses bring their personality, style and vision to each session. While we absolutely love a good boudoir story or a portrait, there is always something very special about maternity photography! The subject may be the same, but there is certainly no one session that is alike when it comes to this genre. Every mother to be is so unique that we always have a myriad of ideas that we want to explore during these photoshoots in order to help reveal that individual spark in our photos.

Ms V. happens to be one such beautiful lady that has come to our studio for a new set of maternity photos. It was her third pregnancy and she wanted to capture a few lovely, modern photos to celebrate it. She has brought with her a gorgeous blazer and lingerie. For her additional look, she has decided to opt in for one of our signature maternity gowns. While working with Miss V, we got to discover her amazing and kind personality, so we wanted to make sure that our photos reflect it! We experimented with our poses and set ups, played around with studio and natural lighting, and, of course, made sure that the process itself was pleasant and easy to follow.

We think that the final photos really did capture a little bit of Miss V’s sparkling beauty! And she has allowed us to share a little peak into this wonderful session, which we are very excited to showcase below.

One of a kind anniversary surprise

October 13, 2022 | Boudoir & Lingerie | Leave a comment

When in life of a couple, we reach one of those rare few, incredibly valuable milestones, it is undoubtedly a debt that we owe to ourselves to celebrate it to the fullest! One such important milestone is, of course, the anniversary! It is the moment to truly reconnect, appreciate each other, and, perhaps, explore something new! Keeping things adventurous, interesting, and full of surprises is always absolutely worth it! And, from our and our muses’ experiences, we can attest that a surprise boudoir photo session for the partner tends to be a raging success! (We even have a few videos with partners’ reactions on our Instagram to attest to that). We absolutely adore working with our muses on their surprises and putting in extra details to make each session special. Sometimes, we create looks dedicated to that special someone’s interests (yes, boudoir looks great in a sports jersey too!) and play around with favorite lingerie types. And, of course, we always make sure to make such sessions creative! Maybe you could wear a maid’s uniform for a quirky set of photos? Or his favorite lingerie look? Maybe we concentrate on the features that he compliments you on so much! There are always so many possibilities to explore, making every photo session unique and wonderful.

Recently, we got a chance to work on one such fun session with our beloved returning muse Miss N! Miss N and her husband have made it a little tradition over the years to schedule a boudoir session for Miss N as a gift, every year around their anniversary. And, every year, Miss N and our team experiment with new ideas, set ups, and poses, capturing some incredible boudoir photos! We even tried a fitness boudoir session last year! But this year was extra special for the couple for it was their 25th anniversary! So we wanted to create something truly unique and new to make it that much more celebratory!

Miss N. has brought some very fun looks to work with and we worked to create her most fabulous boudoir photo series yet! She has brought with her a cute little maid’s outfit and some stunning lingerie for the session. And together, we experimented with set ups, angles, and composition to ensure that every look shines through!

We hope that you enjoy a glimpse into this very special photo session!
