Beauty in a Kimono

When this Miss M said she wanted to bring kimonos instead of lingerie for her boudoir shoot, it was a new experience for me and I thought it might be a challenge to make a kimono look sexy. But it wasn’t at all. I absolutely love the draped look and how it ties in her culture as well, making the images more unique to her. They also allow for a more modest look, which is what she was going for and we pulled it off beautifully. She was a complete beauty in a Kimono.

Miss M’s experience

I asked Miss M some questions about her experience and here is what she said:

Although I am not happy with myself, I would miss my body in 30s when I become 50s. Thats why I wanted to have it for my memory
