I had such an amazing time at Jennifer’s session! Although nervous at the beginning of the shoots (all of my clients are!!) J turned into a supermodel and I think she looks absolutely stunning. Thank you for letting us share on the blog, Jen!

FEATURED MINNEAPOLIS BOUDOIR SESSION | MN BRIDE BLOG

It’s always so exciting for me when beautiful blogs, like Minnesota Bride, select our sessions to feature. Head over to their gorgeous site to check out the boudoir session I shot with the stunning, Ali, who graciously allowed us to share her images! You can also check out my blog post here. Thank you to the fantastic editor, Megan, at Minnesota Bride, Ali, and Hana from Mani Mela who did Ali’s hair and makeup.

ALI | MINNEAPOLIS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER

Oooh, Ali is such a stunner!! Ali was my first shoot in my new boudoir studio and I had such a great time at our session. Hana from Mani Mela Beauty did a fantastic job with Ali’s hair and makeup and transformed her (from gorgeous, au natural) to a complete vixen!  Thank you so much to Ali, not only for a fabulous session, but for allowing me to share these on the blog!!

With these new images, I am excited to announce that I’m undergoing some transformations of my own here on the boudoir side of Laura Ivanova Photography. I don’t often blog boudoir sessions because of the private nature, but boudoir work makes up a big part of my business and is something I am so, so passionate about!! I truly believe every woman is beautiful. Like, super model beautiful, and I love that boudoir sessions allow my clients to see themselves in that way! My boudoir images are feminine and sexy; in a subtle way. I strive for work that is elegant, sensual and timeless. I’m so, so very excited to introduce film boudoir sessions for 2012, as the soft, organic feel of film complements my style of boudoir photography and is something a bit different for discerning clientele.

I now offer a variety of luxury boudoir collections that feature professionally finished imagery, from elegant prints to leather bound albums. All collections include use of the new space in Northeast Minneapolis, completely outfitted for boudoir, and many collections include professional hair and makeup by Mani Mela Beauty. Rest assured that we take care of you every step of the way, from the time you first inquire with us to ordering your archival quality product and beyond. Boudoir sessions are more than just images, it’s an entire experience, designed to bring out your best you and make you feel completely pampered and sexy! If you’re interested in learning more, please contact me and I’d be happy to send more info and pricing your way!

Without further ado, please enjoy these images in my new space. A very big thank to Ali, not only for a fabulous session for allowing us to share these on the blog!






























alexia strawn - beyond beautiful! and simply stunning….nice work Laura!

Jrmh - Gorgeous! Your work is fantastic. Not only is it a great gift, but it also gives clients glimpses of the past years later. When I’m 80, I’d love to look back and reminisce of my younger body!

Victoria - Whidbey Island Boudoir Photographer - Love these shots of Ali, great job!

MS. B | KIND WORDS

Today I got this awesome email from a client who just received her boudoir album. I shot the session and the fabulous Hana, of Mani Mela Beauty did the hair and makeup:

“Laura and Hana,
I just wanted to say again… thank you for everything you did with my boudoir shoot!! Laura… I appreciate your fast editing too. I designed and ordered the book the day I got yor CD in the mail, and the book arrived yesterday… and it’s awesome. I absolutely love it… you two did a fantastic job with my make-up, poses, etc… I was very nervous and have been wondering if it was a good decision, because I just don’t do these things… but I am so glad that I did it, and that you two were a part of it. I look at this book, and I have never felt better about the way I look in pictures. THANK YOU!!!!

You two are awesome… and I will highly recommend both of you to anyone who will listen!!” :)
