Violette Boudoir Photography, Los Angeles

Upon clicking the shutter on her first camera as a teen, June Czerwinski was immediately smitten with the art form. She continued studying and practicing her skills in the U.S. and abroad while working as a Club Med costume designer in Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean. For the last five years, with the help of her all-female staff, June has combined her passions for costuming, art, and photography with her desire to empower women through boudoir sessions at her boutique studio.

Frequently working with professional hair and makeup artists, June helps accessorize her clients' own garments with flirty fishnet hose and suspenders so her models pop before her minimalist backdrops. June lets the personality of clients guide her shoots, capturing classic pinup poses along with cropped shots of legs or torsos clad in alluring lingerie. From proofs assembled in an online gallery, clients can determine which pictures best befit their print options, which can include a custom tabletop book, 12-month wall calendar, and Mayan calendar with their likeness etched in stone.
