WHO ARE WE
Hello, my loves! I'm Carrie, the heart and lens behind OC+BOUDOIR. Born and raised in Paducah, KY, my journey into the world of photography was not just sparked by a love for the art, but a deeply personal experience. Witnessing my mother's struggles with self-worth and confidence instilled in me a mission: to show every woman her inherent beauty, strength, and potential.
Away from the camera's shutter and the chaos of running the studio, you'll find me immersed in sweat sessions at the gym or tending to my expansive plant collection. Yes, I'm that plant mom! My husband, a pillar of support and love for the past 22 years, often joins me in these little adventures, along with our tribe of fur babies. Speaking of quirks, I have a flair for weaving sarcasm and a few colorful words into my conversations. Don't be surprised; it's all in good jest! And though I've embraced a vegan lifestyle (albeit reluctantly).
At the heart of OC+BOUDOIR and every photo session, is a core belief: Every woman deserves to feel empowered, to know that she is enough. My vision transcends just photography; it's about embarking on a transformative journey of self-love and growth. Whether you're here to celebrate your beauty, reclaim your confidence, or simply in need of a gentle reminder of your worth, I'm here to capture your essence and spirit.
Come, let's celebrate the incredible tapestry of womanhood, one click at a time.
Hello, lovely souls! I'm Kristen, the hands behind every stunning transformation makeup at OC+BOUDOIR. My passion for beauty isn't just skin-deep; it's about drawing out the unique essence of every person who sits in my chair.
When I'm not at the studio, you might find me indulging in one of my more eclectic passions: stilt-walking for a scare park! It's all about balance, right? And when I need some downtime, I delve into one of my many hobbies, always eager to learn and experience something new.
Being a dog mom has taught me so much about care, patience, and unconditional love—qualities I bring with me to every session. My goal? To make sure you not only look but also feel absolutely stunning. So, let's embark on this transformative journey together!
