About

Hi! My name is Jen, I'm your boudoir photographer! My goal in life is to empower people to see their own beauty. A friend of mine recently said, "Jen is a warrior. She is locked in full combat with body shame. And she is winning, one person at a time." (It made me cry, what can I say, I'm a sap!) The perfect world, in my eyes, is a world where men and women are equal (not men above women OR women above men), and a person's worth is not based on their size and shape, but rather their integrity as a person-- a world where everyone feels beautiful no matter their size, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Because we are all human, and we all deserve to feel beautiful and loved.

Boudoir photography gives you a chance to embrace your sensual side in a safe, judgement free environment. As my client, you'll have permission to flaunt it without shame, to strut your stuff and release that inner vixen. I'll direct you into poses that flatter your body type and fit your personality, even down to your fingers and toes! So rest assured, you don't have to have any modeling experience to look gorgeous!

Think you're too ________ (old, overweight, frumpy, disconnected with sensuality) for a boudoir photo shoot? Well, you can put that thought on the shelf because you don't need it anymore! Our clients have ranged from ages 20-65 and I'm looking forward to photographing someone in their 70's, 80's or 90's! They have been from all walks of life; attorneys, stay at home moms, religion teachers, librarians, brides, divorcees, etc. Our mission is to provide you with an avenue in which to explore your sensuality at any point in life.

Breathless Boudoir is located in Charlottesville, Virginia, serving the surrounding areas including Richmond, Roanoke & Washington DC. We also have a location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving the southern region including New Orleans & Lafayette.

Jen Trombly is a gifted Photographer/Artist of the highest caliber! I am a plus-sized woman, and was terrified of getting boudoir photos done, but Jen is a complete pro. Her kind, warm nature put me at ease, and before I knew it I was naked in from of a camera, and not in the slightest bit embarrassed, or ashamed. Never in my life have I felt more empowered, beautiful or more sexy, than when I viewed those photos. I treasure the photos to this day, but the gift she gave me of ease and comfort in my own skin? That lasts a lifetime.

If you are looking to work with the best to get stunning photos for yourself or as a gift to your significant other, I HIGHLY recommend Breathless Boudoir. When I went for my photo session I was so nervous about the shoot and whether I would even like the photos. It was an absolutely needless worry. From the second I walked in, I was made to feel relaxed, comfortable, and completely at ease. They are very professional and know exactly how to have you pose that will make for absolutely stunning photos. When we reviewed the photos at the end, I teared up...stunning is an understatement. I was able to see myself as I had never really seen before. It was the most wonderful and empowering experience.

Every star given to Jen and Max are well deserved. During my Breathless Boudoir session, I noticed nothing less of remarkable talent exuding from the both of them. They have different styles of shooting, but both encompass the utmost level of professionalism. As a model, one cannot help but be motivated by their passion and understanding of photography, ultimately producing stunning and captivating photographs previously thought only capable of world class supermodels--that is the magic of Breathless Boudoir! When you choose Max and Jen, you are choosing an experience which will not only leave you with beautiful photos, but also an experience you will fondly remember for the rest of your life.

We LOVE Breathless Boudoir! One of my biggest pet peeves is a boudoir session with bad lighting and that's something you'll NEVER get with Breathless Boudoir. Why is this more important in boudoir than other forms of photography??? 'Cause you wanna hide the things you don't wanna see and accentuate what you do wanna see - and that's all about lighting! Jen & Max are AMAZING artists with the ability to make you feel your most glamorous and comfortable during and after your photoshoot!
