Every photo shoot we strive to do better than the last. We review our work and make notes for improvements. We compete against ourselves to deliver a better product!

If one searches for "boudoir photographers," they'll typically find results such as all female staff, all female studio, female photographer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that...unless thats you're only selling point. Its to the point where its made to seem as boudoir, pin-up, and glamour photography is exclusively female....in the amateur world perhaps......not in the professional world. Many of our counterparts do not accept male clients either. Capital Boudoir does not discriminate against a client and have worked with clients of all shapes, sizes, orientations, religions, colors, etc...etc...etc

We understand there is a comfort issue for some. We recommend and allow our clients to bring friends for moral support to our studio! Ultimately everyone ends up having fun, even the spectating friends! We hope our potential clients see us for our professionalism and ability to deliver a service, not for our gender or sexual preference....which has nothing to do with our profession. Personally when searching for a service provider ranging from a doctor to a mechanic to service my motorcycle.... I look for the provider who has the best ratings, best service, and lets face it the best bang for my buck!

Males are not new to this genre of photography. Some of the greats of this industry include Gil Elvgren, Max and Alberto Vargas, Rolf Armstrong. Their work and style are classics that have been syndicated around the world over and over again!

In the past we had a female colleague, and we may have another female photographer in the future. However if we do bring on a female partner, it will not be solely because she is a female, we believe being female does not automatically qualify a photographer as a boudoir photographer nor give them the required experience automatically. Being male does not automatically qualify us as good mechanics, truck drivers, or any other profession associated with being masculine.As with any other job, we've put in lots of time on the job, studied our craft, and continue to perfect our craft!

We also encourage our clients to bring friends as moral support to photo shoots! We offer referral credits for our clients that recommend our service to their friends, typically after their photo shoot. Well a recent client scored a referral prior to her photo shoot! Originally Ms. O rote us asking permission to accompany her friend to her photo shoot! Not long after contacting us, Ms. O decided she would go ahead and have a photo shoot back to back with her friend and luckily we were able to modify our schedule and create some beautiful boudoir images for her upcoming wedding!

We've been hustling.."every day we're hustling, hustle, hustle, hustle hard," since we moved into our new home in April. All work and no play leads to not so happy photographers, so its time to play! Join us for our grand opening in our new studio! Our first studio was a large warehouse that we redecorated in Chantilly, Va then we decided to work the boutique hotels in Washington D.C., before settling in our new home in old town Alexandria, VA. There will be food, door prizes....what free stuff..yup!

We're hot, with the spouses of firefighters, literally! Lauren has allowed me to share some of her blazing hot images taken at the Capital Boudoir studio in old town Alexandria. With over 200 boudoir sessions on our resume, we've seen nervous client after nervous client! My wife approached me months ago, perhaps last year stating she had a friend who was interested in a boudoir photo shoot with Capital Boudoir! Lauren's desire to have a boudoir photo session finally came to fruition, with her fourth anniversary of marriage on the horizon. Lauren although extremely photogenic was super duper nervous and brought an entourage that included my wife, and her friend and personal make-up artist Hannah...they also had a bottle of whip cream flavored vodka, to calm the ole' nerves! After the session got underway, Lauren quickly warmed, the session went smooth as always and there will be one happy husband with a big a$$ smile on his face very soon!
