ABOUT BOUDOIR BY KJ

Wisconsin Boudoir Photographer


Luxury boudoir photographer KJ

Hey there!


You already know I love photography, but I wanted to share a few fun facts about myself so you can get to know me even better.

For starters, you can pretty much always catch me in comfy clothes with a cold brew coffee in hand. I adore animals—I'd love to have a dog or even a horse someday—but for now, cats fit best into my busy lifestyle. My two fur babies, Tate and Mia, are my world.

I’m also a proud small-town girl. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve cool summer nights around a bonfire with my closest friends. Growing up, I was always known as the shy kid. It wasn’t until college that I really started to come out of my shell. Now, being outgoing is a big part of my job as a photographer—I love getting my clients to relax, laugh, and open up in front of the camera. If you asked my friends, they’d probably describe me as loyal, sweet, caring, determined, and a nature lover.

My love for photography began when I started taking nature photos with my iPod. My boyfriend believed in my potential so much that he bought me my first real camera for Christmas in 2019. I began practicing portrait photography, and before long, an old friend reached out to ask if I’d be willing to shoot her boudoir session for her upcoming wedding. From knowing her I knew she was self conscious about her body growing up so I took this opportunity extremely seriously. I practiced and researched before hand the best posing and lighting. When it came time to her boudoir photoshoot, I felt ready to perform. She absolutely loved the results. That was the moment I realized I’d found my calling.

Since then, I’ve traveled across the U.S. to learn from the best in the boudoir industry, continuously working to grow—not just in how I take boudoir photos, but in how I make my clients feel their best during an intimate photoshoot like this. My goal is to create a space where women feel safe, seen, celebrated, and empowered. I take great pride in the fact that I’m always investing in my boudoir photography education, pushing myself to be better behind the camera and in the client experience I provide. Not every photographer can say that, and I hold it close to my heart.

Being a full-time luxury boudoir photographer is an absolute dream. I get to witness women—many of whom have spent their lives feeling unworthy or insecure—see themselves in a new, beautiful light. The joy in their eyes when they see their photos, and the empowerment they feel walking out of their session, is everything to me. That confidence stays with them—it follows them into their relationships, their careers, and their everyday lives.

Helping women reclaim their confidence and celebrate their bodies is truly life-changing—and absolutely priceless.
