Blush Boudoir, Sacramento

Photographer Lisa Renee is meticulous as she directs poses, adjusts camera settings, and retouches photos in the editing bay. But the goal she has in mind makes the effort worth it: to ensure her clients feel like supermodels.

At her studio, Blush Boudoir, Renee and her all-female staff of hair and makeup artists take every measure to make their clients feel pampered and comfortable. They play music and pour wine throughout the photo session, and schedule in-studio consultations to help anxious clients feel at-ease under the bright lights, resulting in more confident poses.
