After I graduated from high school, I decided to turn our passion for photography into a job.
First, I took classes at a local community school to refine my skills, and then I opened a boudoir photo studio in our hometown.
While boudoir can be considered taboo, I believe that the human form is beautiful.What’s more, I enjoy collaborating with clients to make art together. I live in a climate with a long winter, and the studio is in an aged building. It has sizable windows (natural light is integral to our work), but since they haven’t been revamped since the 1940s, it often gets drafty in the studio! Considering the nature of the clients who are often nude or partially nude when working on a project together, it’s paramount that the furnace in the building is running smoothly. We do not want clients to get chilly. Unfortunately, the utility bill in the building is consistently higher during the cold weeks. I consulted a heating, ventilation and A/C business about improving our oil furnace efficiency! He gave me some great heating tips, especially for retaining heat. He advised installing door sweeps and foam window seals to prevent drafts, which have genuinely made a difference in retaining the heat produced by the oil furnace. He also advised installing radiant floors in the studio for the comfort of our clients. He said that radiant floors are a pretty efficient heating solution, and that our purchasers would like the luxury! After clearing the plan with our proprietor (who agreed to break the cost), I had a heating, ventilation and A/C business install radiant floors in the space. While I had to be out of the studio while they installed, I took advantage of a few beautiful afternoons to revisit our aged passion for nature photography. While the Heating, ventilation and A/C business worked their magic, I had some magical ideas of our own for incorporating nature in our boudoir practice; Getting radiant floors was a win for all involved!
