Lone Morch gathered photos from her many years as a boudoir photographer in Sausalito for her new book, “Embody.” In the 14 years Lone Morch took boudoir photos of hundreds of women in her Sausalito studio and in her native Denmark, Morch discovered an unsettling but common thread — many weren’t just comfortable with their body, they genuinely didn’t like their body.

It didn’t make any sense to her.

Her purpose at Lolo’s Boudoir wasn’t just about taking sensual photos, she says. It was about making women feel at home inside their own skin, offering them a safe space for them to discover themselves.

“It took a lot of energy from me to work this intensely with women and really get into their inner lives and their needs and dreams and situations, and I remember thinking, this is really bizarre; how is it possible that women, relatively privileged women, not that they were affluent necessarily but they had the ability to choose to go be photographed, had some sort of advantage to pursue empowerment ... were having such a hard time accepting themselves, liking themselves, seeing themselves, wanting themselves,” she says.

Note, I still offer photography, although we have by far moved "beyond the boudoir." Read in Embody and find out why. Check Embody Summer Special @ Photo Session. 

Lone Morch
Lone Mørch is an award-winning author, photographer. speaker and teacher. Born in Denmark, she's traveled the world, living and working in Europe, Asia and America—a path that has given her a profound sense of freedom and understanding of the influence of culture on female identity. Themes of female symbolism, archetypes and autonomy are central in her work as as she explores the crossroads between veils, words, art, politics, body and self. The founder of Lolo’s Boudoir, she's photographed hundreds of women since 2004, helping them transform their self-images and reconnect to their bodies and personal power. Lone has been featured in InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Photographers Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, The Examiner Modern Love, East Bay Express, 7x7 Magazine and in Danish magazines such as Femina, Nova, Kiwi, B.T and Q. Her own writing has been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Huffington Post, Magical Blend Magazine, Nepal Expat Magazine, Nyt Aspect, Nova, Samvirke and anthologies such as To Nepal With Love (2013) and Nothing But the Truth, So Help Me God (2012). Her memoir, Seeing Red, tells the story of her spiritual quest sparked at the sacred Mt. Kailas in the Himalayas, and her subsequent decade in America––as wife, woman and creative spirit–trying to make sense of her own relationship to the sacred, to personal power and the sacrifices required to live an honest life attuned to one’s soul and core values. It has won the Tanenbaum Literary Award, Honorary Mention at the San Francisco Book Festival, and the Bronze Medal in the 2013 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Unveiled (working title) is her second book. Based upon the past decade of photographing women, this chronicle of women's voices and images tells what the photographs alone cannot—that undressing is an act of shedding stories of doubt and shame to stand as a sovereign woman, free in body and spirit. In her prior lives, she holds a Masters Degree from Aalborg University in Political Science and Change, has worked as development associate with Care Nepal, team manager for the Kaospilot University and media producer at Ideagarden productions in San Francisco. She splits her time between USA and Europe. Learn more about her work here: lonemorch.com
