Erin Dunaway Boudoir

Since 2012, Erin Dunaway has worked as a photographer, shooting everything from weddings to newborn sessions, senior portraits, and boudoir. It’s the latter that is her absolute favorite genre and what she dedicates her business to now.

Erin believes that boudoir is the “art of empowerment through photos” and she loves how her clients leave her session with a whole new love for themselves. Erin’s boudoir shoots include professional hair and makeup, plus access to her wardrobe of more than 50 pieces.

Foto Eleven

Shelly Sukstorf is the photographer behind the camera at Foto Eleven, which specializes in not only boudoir but also weddings, portraiture, and travel photography. She fell in love with photography while flicking through the pages of “National Geographic” as a kid and picked up her first Pentax camera in high school.

Shelly went on to study commercial photography at college and believes that images have the ability to “take your breath away, make you think, make you nostalgic, make you laugh, or bring you to tears.”

Photography by Dezirae

Dezirae Thrower’s journey with photography began in 2013 and it was while shooting a wedding that she got her first introduction to boudoir. The bride asked her to take a “sexy image” to send to her soon-to-be husband, which led her to “obsessively researching” boudoir photography.

Today, Dezirae dedicates herself to the niche, with a studio that is run by females, including a professional makeup artist. She is passionate about photographing as many women as she can and empowering them to feel feminine and the “badass woman that she is.”

Beautyinacadence

Alicia Skillman is the owner, photographer, and “hype woman” at Beautyinacadence, an Omaha photography studio that is dedicated to boudoir. Her decision to focus on boudoir photography stems from her own trauma of sexual assault and body issues and wanting to be part of a positive change in the lives of others. As a boudoir and portrait photographer, she wants to capture humans just as they are and make them feel completely accepted in the skin they are in.

KG Photography

Kate Gurney is the owner and lead photographer at KG Photography, a family-oriented business that she runs with the help of her mom, Lisa. Together, they capture boudoir images that are warm and sensual, as well as shooting weddings, couple, and family portraits. Kate has worked as a photographer for the last eight years and has built up trusted relationships with her clients, many of whom have gone on to become close friends.

A Thousand Words Photography

Born and raised in Omaha, Jennifer Storey Pfeffer pursued a career in photography after completing an art degree and discovering that she received more creative gratification behind the camera. She has now been shooting professionally for the last 20 years and has seen the industry evolve from film to digital.

Jennifer’s boudoir sessions are held at her beautifully lit studio in the Waterloo/Elkhorn area and often incorporate personal objects of her clients for a customized touch.

Fuel Boudoir

Joseph is the lead photographer at Fuel Boudoir, which he established after a sudden heart issue forced him to re-evaluate his life. By empowering his clients, Joseph gets the satisfaction that he is doing exactly what he was meant to do.

While it’s easy to take selfies, Joseph believes that every woman deserves to have a printed artwork of themselves and says you don’t need to wait to lose weight or have your stretch marks heal to celebrate yourself. As he says: “This life is a flicker and gone before we know it, so live in the flicker.”

Cloud Cover Photography

Cloud Cover Photography is the brainchild of Christina Cloud, who believes that boudoir photography is not only personal and sensual but incredibly empowering. She is currently based in Bellevue but travels throughout Nebraska and beyond for boudoir shoots, an experience that has exposed her to people from all walks of life. As a result, her boudoir portfolio is one of the most diverse on this list, with settings that range from lakes to living rooms.

Courtney Eick Photography

Courtney Eick is an Omaha photographer who specializes in newborn sessions, family portraits, and boudoir. She says that she has been passionate about photography since she was a small child and she had the opportunity to develop her skills as a photo editor of her high school yearbook.

Courtney went on to study photography at college and establish her successful business, which is all about documenting moments and memories that you will cherish forever.

Emily Curtis Boudoir

Emily Curtis says that her boudoir sessions are an investment in the “process of loving yourself.” She understands that self-confidence is something that is learned and she wants to be a “staple” in that journey. In fact, it wasn’t until she discovered boudoir photography that Emily found a true purpose in her life, after studying dental hygiene, completing an associate degree in business, and working in the insurance industry. When you book a session with Emily, it’s an opportunity to celebrate you, with a few mimosas, music, and professional hair and makeup thrown in.
