Port photographer focuses on intimate portraits

Alicia Schmitt is helping her clients discover their inner beauty through intimate portraits.

She said it’s a busy time of year around Valentine’s Day in her Port Washington studio, Buxom Boudoir Photography, because customers want to reveal more of themselves to their significant others. But that isn’t her mission. 

“I want to focus on how much you love yourself,” she said. “Valentine’s Day is a good time to talk about body love because the whole day is about how much you love someone else, and we can get caught up thinking that’s the only form of love that we have.”
