Jessica L. Cobb Boudoir Photography

Capturing Love  Today like many days I am unpacking my shipment of client products. I open  up everything and make sure it is correct and there are no mistakes and everything is accounted for. Today for some reason, maybe it is the coming back after a long break, I opened up a box, opened up a book and the first image, took my breath ... the image I had taken, the image I had edited and have seen many times . It took my breath , it hit me right in the chest, and I messaged my friends and I told them I wish I could tell everyone how this makes me feel. How I FEEL when I opened up a book and saw the love she had for her husband, I saw the 25 years of marriage being celebrated. It hit me, I felt it, being able to capture the intimate love we have for our partner, the love we should have for ourselves is really what I am striving for with boudoir.  I need for the viewer to feel something when they look at her images. When you give a gift of boudoir images you are givin...

Kim.... if you wait until "your ready" you will never be ready.  Learning to love and accept ourselves is not always easy... we as women focus so much on our perceived flaws. There is no one way to look or dress to be beautiful!  Kim and I have had two sessions and I really hope you take the time to watch her video I posted in my group!  <!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-53M7FWV');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

We all love beautiful images of, we day dream of what it would be like to have images of ourselves like that! While I love to inspire women, this post is to demystify some of my sessions!! Many women say they would love to have a milk bath session, BUT they don't have a fancy beautiful tub! So!!!! I am sharing the behind the scenes of this amazing shoot with you!! Check out this REGULAR tub, no fancy bathroom needed!!!  In  this image you can see my feet while I am STANDING on the sides of the tub!! A little imagination and a little bit of editing and any bathroom can be an amazing milk bath session!!! In the privacy of YOUR home!

Why NUDE?! Is it to shock, is it to be explicit and to get attention?    Or is it because the curve of the back and the dimples in the lower back are graceful and lovely.... Because the dip of the waist, is enhanced by the smooth contour of the hips.... and enhanced by the soft, sensuality of the curve of the exposed breast.... The curves and the twist of a women's body...   The confidence in the acceptance of ourselves as they are!  W hen we are nude we have nothing but ourselves to see, nothing but our skin to love and... that is when we are the most vulnerable. When we can accept ourselves, love ourselves as we are everything else has new meaning.

A photographer (the Greek φῶς ( phos ), meaning "light", and γραφή ( graphê ), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light") [1] is a person who makes photographs . My field of work is photography I use my camera to capture light on a subject, I strive to tell a story sometimes that of desire. I don't take a "few pics" for your Instagram followers. I don't even provide a service... my business is classified as an art studio.  ...

I f you could comment... what is this story to you when you see it? Is she the story, is she a character.... is she writing her own story???? What do you see with this set?

Why do I say I only shoot one thing? Why don't I do weddings AND High School Seniors AND newborns AND children... Wouldn't that make me WAY more successful? No, I can honestly say that shooting more, to me, does not make me more successful. Any photographer who truly understands the art of photography and not just taking pictures knows there are certain lenses and lighting that works best for each situation. There are unique posing styles that work best for each genre. To attempt to do every style of photography to the highest potential boggles my brain at the level of classes and lenses and particularly intimate knowledge of EVERY trend, in every genre.. the amount of research and retraining that I would go through yearly would hardly leave time for shooting. I have agreed to a few newborn sessions and I am doing a few High school seniors this year as always. But, I am a boudoir photographer. The details involved in a session are pain staking planned...

Dear men in our lives,     Thank you for loving us, thank you for understanding when we are insecure and upset for what seems like no reason or because we are overwhelmed. Thank you for understanding that I want to do this session, a boudoir session for me. You may not understand right now why I want to do this, you may worry that I have a side dish... I don't, this is part of me growing and understanding me, myself. See I used to be a thinner/ younger/ "prettier" version of myself... but I wasn't confident then. Even though I can look at photos of myself "back then" and wish that I had understood how amazing I was then. See, what I don't realize is that when I do this photo session with Jessica, I am going to realize that right now I am still amazing. Yes, you always tell me how hot I am, but let me tell you I don't feel amazing. I feel tired, bloated and overwhelmed most day. I have those times when I feel great, yes. But being a mom and wat...
