made to love
Hey you, I’m Alaura.
Founder, Photographer, and Ultimate-Hype-Woman of Clementine Boudoir. I’m 30 years old, and I’ve been photographing the shiny humans around me for more than half of my life, and professionally, for more than a decade.
They say if you want to know about what a photographer loves, look at their photographs, and mine have always been sparkling with the beautiful people around me shining with all the light I see in them. I accidentally started doing boudoir-style shoots for my very best friends, just begging them to let me show them this other side of them that I was so in love with. This bare, free, and incredibly unique side of them that’s so beautiful, and so powerful, and simply inspiring.
After I nearly died having my daughter in 2019, I was pretty resistant to going back to work at all, because why would I ever spend a moment away from this most perfect little human that I’d just survived the craziest thing of my life with?
I decided that there was nothing more important than the magic of deeply enjoying this exquisite human body and experience. And I refused to spend another day of my professional life doing anything other than helping others find that light within themselves, and experience this true vibrance and ecstasy in their existence.
Every negative word you’ve spoken about yourself: I’ve heard me say it too. Every doubt you’ve ever faced: it’s been in front of countless other women. Every lie you’ve ever been told, every hand ever laid on you, every knife pierced through your heart: you’re not alone, and you’re just as deserving of love as anyone else is (especially your own). And once you can see that, and get a glimpse of it, that’s when the good part of it all begins. Because what is this life if you cannot enjoy your existence throughout it all?
I’m here to inspire you, to empower you, to show you yourself in the golden light of true self-love. Because feeling comfortable, and then confident, feeling secure in your body, and then feeling powerful in yourself: are some of the most contagious energies, and some of the most important for healing, and really for everything.
I’ve now been documenting and empowering women for more than five years now, and the Clementine Boudoir Experience has shaped and grown just as much as I have. My goal remains the same: to set a stage unique to you to allow your most authentic self to shine, and to document you in such a beautiful light that you’re let in on the great secret of what a light you are.
The light that everyone else has already had the pleasure of witnessing & enjoying. (So, hurry up and join us!)
