Over the past couple months we've been featuring a series of tutorials from Patrick's Boudoir Photography Secrets designed for those of you who are new to this popular genre. If you've watched earlier episodes you know that they all have this common theme; how to capture sensuous images of inexperienced models while using simple gear and available light.

Boudoir is one of the fastest growing segments of the photography industry, but it’s not exactly a new thing for some pros. “We had been doing boudoir photography for a long time before that term became popular and the photography became a big thing,” Cherie Steinberg says. “We” is Steinberg and Hedley Jones, her husband and partner in CherieFoto and The Boudoir Café. Their main business “a long time before” was weddings, and many of their boudoir shoots featured engagement photographs or were sessions with brides whose weddings they’d photographed.
