Christen has been a photographer for 17 years and started shooting boudoir about 12 years ago.  When she did, she never looked back. Boudoir is now her specialty and passion and it shows!  

I visited her studio in Amesbury, MA and got the full experience from hair and make up with the talented Christine Rutledge to choosing just the right outfits and yes, the shoot.
