Intimate Body Positive Boudoir Mentoring Session in Richmond, Virginia | Los Angeles and New York CityFine Art Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir Mentoring Session

I had the opportunity to mentor Heather of Heather Koell Photography this past August. Heather came to me from Oregon with a desire to learn how I photograph women in the intimate way that I do. I set up this session with our beautiful muse, Ashley. The stunning bouquet was created by Vessel & Stem. During our session we focused on posing, how I work with nude models and clients and how to create a space that fosters vulnerability. It was so amazing working with Heather and showing her behind the scenes of what I do and why I love it.

“This fall I had the privilege of participating in an intimate portrait mentorship with Rebecca Burt and it was truly life-changing. Not only did I learn a wealth of technical skills and tips for creating beautiful, sensual images, but the emphasis on inclusive body sizes and self love made the experience incredibly empowering for me as a woman. From the moment I arrived in Virgina, I felt welcomed and energized with creativity.

Rebecca is a master at capturing the unique beauty of every woman, no matter their size or shape. She truly believes that every body is beautiful and worthy of being celebrated, and this philosophy is evident in every aspect of her mentorship. She encourages her clients to embrace their unique bodies and to celebrate themselves in all their glory.

The mentorship itself was incredibly well-structured and provided a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience. Rebecca is a fantastic teacher and provides clear, concise instruction that is easy to understand and implement. She is also incredibly funny, honest, supportive and encouraging, which made the experience even more special. I especially appreciated her attention to detail in curating the aesthetic for our shoots. Seeing how she brought my inspiration board to life with gorgeous models and creativity is something I will never forget. 

I would highly recommend this mentorship to any photographer who is looking to improve their intimate portrait photography skills and to learn how to capture powerful, sensual images that celebrate the beauty of the human form. It was an incredibly empowering experience and I am so grateful to Rebecca for sharing her expertise and passion with me.”
