WHAT’S A NOMADGLAM SESSION LIKE?
This page contains information for clients of NomadGlam. Thank you for your interest in a NomadGlam “Beautiful Bold Boudoir” portrait session! Please start with my “About” page to get a feel for my overall work.
LOCATION
First, I’m primarily a traveling photographer, so I shoot most of my boudoir sessions in upscale hotel rooms and suites. I use professional cameras and portable studio lighting equipment to convert hotel rooms or Airbnbs into couture boudoir studios. I travel extensively, so if you’re in or near one of the larger cities in the US, chances are I’ll be near you in the near future. Please contact me to find out!
The above having been said, I’m based near Denver, Colorado. I used to own a retail studio in one of the trendy districts near downtown Denver, but I sold that when real estate prices skyrocketed years ago. I’m only in town something like 35% of the year, so it didn’t make sense to maintain a studio full-time. So currently, when I’m in town:
• I have “day use” arrangements with several local luxury hotels for boudoir sessions
• I have access to photographer-friends’ commercial studios
• Many of my local clients are visitors to the city, so we often shoot in their hotel or Airbnb
• Many of my “regular” Denver resident clients and models prefer to shoot in their own comfortable homes
• Repeat/regular clients are invited to travel to my current boudoir studio about 70 minutes outside Denver.
If your interest is not so much in boudoir, but rather in artistic nudes, location glamour, intimate portraits, kink, or fetish images – not in a hotel or boudoir setting – I sometimes rent studio space. Or we may decide to shoot at an outdoor location or a borrowed space. In-home boudoir sessions are also currently quite popular. Bottom line, any – or some combination of – these locations may be choices for your glamour session. Let’s talk and sort out the best location for the session you have in mind.
I‘M EASY TO WORK WITH
Clients tell me that they appreciate my casual, laid-back personality, and that I have a natural ability to put them at ease during boudoir and intimate photography sessions. I pride myself on my ability to create a fun vibe while shooting, and this makes my clients feel very relaxed.
You do not need modeling experience to work with me! Many of my boudoir clients are first-time boudoir customers and have never posed in lingerie or nude before. Please don’t be concerned about this. I have many years providing artistic direction to create poses that will accentuate your best features and downplay attributes you may like less.
As an early-60s, highly professional male with multiple college degrees (including an MBA from a top US business school), I pride myself on my solid reputation for respectfulness and professionalism. I have many references available from past clients and models with whom I have worked. I am confident you’ll find me to be easy to work with and comfortable to pose for.
BOUDOIR PACKAGES
I have reasonably priced packages available for boudoir clients, as well as a’la carte pricing on absolutely gorgeous prints, luxurious leather albums, exquisite canvas and metal prints, and many other premium items. I work with one of the best professional-only print labs in the US for secure, discreet, and amazingly high-quality production of your precious boudoir images.
BOUDOIR MARATHONS
These are so fun! Have a group of women that all want to schedule boudoir sessions together? Of course you won’t all shoot at once, though I have sometimes photographed besties relaxing in a hotel suite together. But rather, most marathons are back-to-back boudoir sessions for groups of 4-10 clients. Most frequently, they are part of a bachelorette party experience or bridesmaid gifts – each bridesmaid receives a boudoir mini-session. In addition to celebrating an engagement or wedding, these also make excellent anniversary, milestone birthday, or even divorce gifts! Packages with or without on-site hair and make-up are available, as I work with a network of hair- and makeup-artists nationally. A boudoir marathon can be scheduled in an upscale hotel suite environment, or at your location. Contact me to discuss an event for your group of women or couples!
INTIMATE PORTRAITURE & FINE-ART COMMISSION
Beyond my “Beautiful Bold Boudoir” sessions, I’m also available for intimate portraiture, fine-art commission, kink/fetish, and location nude work. Many women (and/or couples) may have completed a boudoir session previously and now want something different, or simply seek a more artistic portrait or a specific collection of images. These sessions are often held in a studio (often a rental photography studio), at your home, or at a location we’ll work together to select. In many of the larger cities in the US, I have established favorite locations at which I’ve photographed past clients. Please contact me to discuss your wishes or to request more information for clients, and I can quickly give you a quote and some ideas.
WHITE SHEET SERIES
I’ve always admired noted celebrity photographer Douglas Kirkland’s iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe in bright white sheets. They shot their famous “white sheet series” of photos in 1961. That was just several months before Monroe’s death. Inspired by this collection of Kirkland photographs, I often offer a “white sheet series” to clients and models who may be inclined to shoot something along these lines. These sessions can add a lot to a client’s or model’s boudoir portfolio: any combination of sensual, serious, playful, casual, or erotic looks. My subject is usually nude in the sheets, but can then show any amount of skin – or none at all. With some subjects, the top sheet doesn’t get used at all. No pressure from me, either way – I just want to create a collection of photos have fun making, and of which you’ll be proud. So it’s a boudoir genre that is very versatile. I shoot a LOT of white sheet series of boudoir sessions with both models and clients. So you’ll see these collections frequently in my galleries.
WHAT ABOUT NUDITY?
You’ve probably noted that many of the model galleries on this website include nudity. Be assured that nudity is not expected or required in my boudoir or intimate portraiture sessions. At the same time, many of my clients want to include at least some nude or partial-nude images. I am comfortable and very experienced photographing nudes, and I am happy to include nude photos in your session. But it is entirely your decision whether to do so. Some clients are confident when they first contact me that they want to include some nude photos. Others absolutely do not want to be photographed nude in any way. Yet others are considering it but don’t decide until we’re shooting. Any of these is perfectly fine. Upon booking, you’ll receive a full FAQ with information for clients that will help you prepare for your shoot.
HOW TO BOOK
First, use my Contact Form to inform me of your interest. We’ll discuss your session by email or phone, and we’ll reserve a date. A paid deposit of $200 reserves your session on my calendar. My studio assistant or I will then send you a FAQ to help you plan for your session (hair/make-up planning, wardrobe ideas, tanning, grooming, and much more). I’ll also send a required questionnaire that will help me plan on my end. We’ll stay in touch to answer any questions until the date of your session.
