How Three Boudoir Began
You know that feeling when the universe is on your side, you are in the flow and doors are opening left & right? Things fall into place magically and everything is aligned. When happy accidents happen left and right and help shape something beautiful?
The Dalai Lama gets it.
A bathroom selfie (ugh :: hangs head in shame) from that company holiday party in 2009. Joanna in the jeans. Amber with the smile.
Amber, being the kindest person on the planet, asked Joanna to move in with her while Joanna worked through her divorce. Amber had a spare bedroom and would love the company while her hubby was overseas. It was a win-win.
A few short months later it was Amber's husbands birthday. Amber wanted to do something special, maybe something a little sexy, but definitely something tasteful, as a gift for him. She and Joanna talked about ideas, when it dawned on both of them, Amber was a photographer. Joanna had been a Playboy model all through college. Joanna could help pose and style a photoshoot for Amber! Amber could talk Joanna through the photography piece. They could even ask another photographer friend to help. Bam! They did it and were amazed at the boost it had given both of them. Amber felt empowered and beautiful from the photo shoot. Joanna was thrilled to put that Playboy information to good use. Joanna never thought she would do anything with that Playboy information, other than pay for her degrees in Biology and Chemistry (Amber is a super woman and Joanna is a super nerd), and have fun stories to share from her time at the Playboy mansion. See a photo of her & Billy Idol at the Playboy Mansion, here.
They showed Amber's boudoir images to some close friends and family, they were blown away! The next weekend Amber & Joanna spent creating boudoir photography experiences for their friends. Those friends felt amazing afterwards too. There was something to this boudoir experience, conquering fears, working through nerves, boosting self love, it felt great. Everyone felt great. It was bringing so much joy into Amber & Joanna's lives, not to mention the friends that they worked with.
Three Boudoir's very first website from 2009. Joanna & Amber built it themselves and only had to punch a pillow 500 times as they did it.
We can't wait to welcome you into the Three Boudoir family.
Amber, Joanna and Lilly when Joanna lived with Amber and during the early days of 3B, long before Lilly was a team member. (This was part of a holiday lip singing contest that Amber does every year with family at Christmas. They sang a Wilson Phillips song, dressed like this, and lost.)
