Intimate

Step on set for a bespoke photo shoot experience to explore your individuality and celebrate yourself as a masterpiece. Thoughtfully and artfully directed by intimate portrait photographer Thomas Martinez, studio sessions take place in a comfortable and empowering environment that merges refined photographic artistry with the approachability of hanging out with a dear friend.

Clients from all walks of life have commissioned this experience to deepen their relationships with themselves, to document their current chapter, or to celebrate milestones. While the uplifting shoot day is transformative on its own, the finished fine art print collection is one that will be forever treasured.

Studio shoots blossom organically over the commissioned time, with priority on getting to know each other better, collaborate, create, and reset as needed. Images captured will range from soulful personality portraits to artful figure details and powerful compositions.

  • So many options when it comes to shopping for outfits for your intimate boudoir session. I always suggest a physical store like Victoria Secrets over an online retailer.

  • Based on ethical and artistic preferences, TM’s standard retouching process, only temporary blemishes such as acne, scrapes, and bruises will be removed. The image enhancement process involves contrast, exposure, cropping, dodge and burn and background clean-up. Should you have any specific requests or questions, these conversations are always welcomed and encouraged.

  • We need at least a 5 day notice before your session to work with you and plan your session. The preplanning is so important to make sure we make your session an unforgettable experience. Allow 2 weeks to see the edited images and another 2-4 weeks for the album and final products to be created.

  • Yes, you can absolutely bring 1 friend along with you to the photo session experience. We will ask that friend to not interfere with the session process, but are always welcome to be encouraging from the sidelines and be a great support in celebrating you.

    We do ask that romantic partners not be present for studio sessions, as clients can subconsciously alter their expressions/body language/personalities according to what pleases their partner rather then themselves.
