See the winners of the first annual Best of Boudoir contest!!! They are hot! Hot! HOT!!!

Unveiled Portraits featured on a National photography blog!

Unveiled Portraits Boutique Boudoir Photography has been featured on the Digital Wedding Forum blog! The article by Mark Lutz of the DWF states "Amy Gaerthofner has created quite the little viral marketing campaign. Like many successful campaigns this one generates interest on many levels beyond that fact
that it features some amazingly hot photographs!"
I'm so honored that my boudoir photography has been featured on a National level! Read the entire article here.

Speaking at the Professional Photographer’s of MI

I am honored to announce that I am an official speaker at the 2010 Essentials for Women Program held by the Professional Photographer’s Association of Michigan! This is huge next step for me – I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share with fellow women photographers and I’m so happy be be recognized by the photography community for my boudoir work.

Not only will I be doing a presentation but I will also be holding a demo of boudoir photography. Of course I’m a bit nervous – traveling to Michigan with a newborn baby… I have never done speaking at this level before… but who knows – I would love to do more speaking events on boudoir photography and how it has transformed me as a professional photographer.

Best of Boudoir Contest – Results…

I will announce the results of the Best of Boudoir 2009 contest on Valentine’s Day! Thank you to all who voted!

Vote today! Best of Boudoir – 2009

2009 was a fantastic year for Unveiled Portraits Boutique Boudoir Photography! I photographed more than 60 girls this year – making it really hard for me to select the best images for voting.

One factor that played into the presentation of the finalists was their privacy release. I offer my girls the option to choose either a full-release or a partial-release. The full-release allows me to use images with the subject’s likeness on my website, blog – pretty much anywhere. The partial-release allows me to use images without showing any identifying features of the client… many of my partial-release clients have some beautifully sexy images – most of which I cannot post on the blog or in the contest because it shows their face. So to help show off some stellar images, even those with partial-release, I decided to split the finalists into eight categories.

Check out the eight different categories for the Best of Boudoir 2009. Select your favorite image by clicking corresponding number in the poll directly below the candidates and then hit VOTE. You can vote once per day and voting ends February 12 at midnight. Votes found in the comment area will not be counted.

First place winners in each category will receive a free 8×10 of their image and the winner of the Best of the Best and Steamiest categories will win a 16×20 gallery matted print.








Thank you so much for voting on the Best of Boudoir 2009! I am so thrilled with the collection of gorgeous images and the beautiful women that are pictured within them.

To make sure your favorite image is the winner you can vote again tomorrow! In addition, check out the Wisconsin Bride Best of 2010. Vote for your favorite vendor in each category – you need to enter at least 6 vendors for your vote to count, Ardent Photography would love your vote!

Little black books for the gift of boudoir…

All of my boudoir sessions come with credit to purchase a little black book or prints. I’ve had a few inquiries wondering about what my albums look like. They are discrete, simple and sexy… I offer an array of products besides albums – including some new products just in time for this month’s boutique boudoir fund raising event in Milwaukee and Appleton.

Just imagine your guy opening a high gloss book with images of sexy little you! The 8×8 books are discrete enough for him to place in night stand drawer and the 5×5 books are small enough for him to pack for those business trips.
