Lela Smith is a Norfolk-based fantasy/boudoir photographer and designs outfits for her sessions.
I had the honor of helping out an amazing friend and a brilliant fantasy/boudoir photographer recently as she had a few of her pieces in a runway show as part of the Chrysler Museums’ July-O-Ween event this past Friday night.
I was there to assist in any way needed but, you know me, I had my camera with me and I couldn’t resist capturing a few moments of the wonderful night.
From Lela – “The line was inspired by what I imagine a Classic French Boudoir would include with new takes on traditional undergarments such a hoop skirts and corsetry. Inspiration was drawn from Bridgerton.”
