Boudoir Photography is a special way for new brides to create a one-of-a-kind gift for their intended. This week we spoke with owner and photographer Diana Scheunemann with YOU BY DIANA  on her boudoir photography services and the unique journey that brought her to creating these special images.

What services do you provide?

YOU BY DIANA is a contemporary boudoir photography studio. ‘Boudoir’ is empowering photography of YOU to SEE your beauty, FEEL empowered, and connect with your inner BADASS! Your boudoir album will reflect a snapshot of who you are now and is the perfect gift for your partner, yourself, AND your future self! Experiencing a boudoir session with YOU BY DIANA is perfect for brides, mums, singles, and everyone else who is ready for the healthiest dose and longest-lasting empowerment. You don’t need to feel confident BEFORE your boudoir session. The experience is like a pampering spa day, full of self-exploration and filling you with all the confidence you need for the coming years. I will guide you through the whole process so you will feel confident, beautiful, and sexy in front of my camera and in real life. Imagine looking at your album when you are 90 years old! – I’d love to photograph YOU, regardless of your age, shape, skin tone, ability, or identity!

What sets your company apart from similar ones in the same field?

I’m a photographer with 20+ years of experience shooting high-profile celebrities, including Katy Perry, Kesha, and Gigi Hadid, for clients like Coca-Cola, Vogue, Playboy, and Esquire, to only mention some. These clients hired me because they know it is guaranteed that I deliver sexy, empowering photography. I apply the exact same methods to my boudoir clients and treat everyone with the utmost care and respect. Being a female photographer makes it safe to work with me, especially in the case of a slightly jealous partner. Your partner won’t need to worry, and you can also have peace of mind in case your boudoir album is a surprise gift for your partner. More even than that: My clients’ partners love the fact that I shot for PLAYBOY magazine. Actually, just last year, I brought a regular boudoir client of mine on the cover of German Playboy!!! So much fun! I know that everybody is unique, so each photo session is customized to your specific personality. We will get to know each other during the planning session to create a one-of-a-kind experience. This experience is about YOU!

What inspired you to start this company?

Coming from working with high-profile clients, I realized that something was missing. I wanted to provide high-end photography to empower ‘everyday’ women. My mission is to show YOU how beautiful and unique YOU are. I promise you will feel beautiful and confident and reconnect with your inner badass. With the photography skills that I have accumulated over 20+ years, I will put you in the best light to create gorgeous images of YOU that you will treasure forever.

What is one favorite client story and why?

There are so many! Every one of my clients is amazing and leaves the best memories. I love when I hear how a session with me changed my clients’ lives. I always suggest reading YOU BY DIANA’s Google reviews for more insight about working with me. Clients just always say it best and can talk firsthand about their experiences with me.
Wait! There is one story that stands out. I had a client last year. She loved her photos. Then German PLAYBOY magazine contacted me (I shot for them before) and asked if I wanted to photograph the cover for their 50th-anniversary issue. So I called my client back in the studio, and lo and behold, she is now on the cover of German PLAYBOY!!!

Here’s what Annalisa said about her experience:
“Working with Diana was sensational! I’m many things (activist, yogini, philosopher, animal mom, plant lover), but I’m not a professional model. I’ve already had a boudoir session with Diana, and I was thrilled when she asked me to model for a Playboy cover.”

What is your favorite part of your work week and why?

I love all of it. I love the photo session days where I guide you through the experience, and we create incredible art with you, regardless of your age, shape, skin tone, ability, or identity! And I love the editing part when I sit in front of my computer for hours on end and choose my favorite photos of YOU with a big smile on my face. It makes me happy to see the progression of a session. It usually starts timidly, and then we giggle and flow. And yes, it is normal to be nervous about a session. I am fully aware of it and will work with you to ease you into an unforgettable experience. This is all part of why I love my job!
