JONATHAN SOLTERO

BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER & EMPOWERER

Why hello there, my name is Jonathan Soltero. I specialize in boudoir photography. That includes all similar genres/terms such as erotic, lingerie, glamour (glamdoir), nude, etc. But to keep things simple and summarize my area of expertise, I chose the word boudoir. Why the word boudoir? Well originally, the boudoir was a private room in a house that was usually very posh. The boudoir was where a woman would undress and relax in. Nowadays those rooms are rare, they are outdated as now new homes are built with an open floor plan and are full of natural light (which I really like). That being the case, boudoir has expanded beyond a room and into the entire home, and even out in nature. However, boudoir lives on as a style of erotic and intimate photography. Carrying over the luxurious, relaxing, and intimate characteristics of the boudoir, the photography requires both the client and the photographer to work closely to capture very sensual pictures. Don’t get too ahead though, boudoir is WAY more than just steamy pictures. Boudoir is an experience like no other. Boudoir has the power to make you cry tears of joy. A true boudoir session is so powerful, some women go from extremely shy and self-doubting to some of the most confident women out there. Something a therapist would take years to help one with can be done in as little as 1 day.

I was in the San Francisco area for a few months and wanted a confidence boost before I start my adventures. This was my second boudoir photoshot, my first time was when I was in college & it was done by a women, I felt awkward and jealous because she was a lot more pretty and more curvy than me. I can say that choosing a male photographer this time was a lot better. Jonathan was able to capture very nice pictures that made me look like a supermodel. Being with a male boudoir photographer made me feel very feminine and attractive, I felt like I was the center of attention, the complete opposite of my first time. I have a pretty strong dutch accent that can be hard to understand at times but Jonathan was very patient and it did not bother him, he actually complimented it which made me feel even better.

Jonathan helped me regain my confidence, he was so sweet and attentive, he's a dream to be around. I wish more men my age where more like him! Heheh, anyway, It's like he says, a true boudoir experience, this was beyond what my previous boudoir photo shoot with an another photographer was like, in which I felt I was only there to have pictures taken. I felt beautiful and sensual when I was with Jonathan, I was able to be myself and let loose my inner sexy that I knew was hiding. I can't recommend Jonathan enough! If you want a real boudoir experience, you found it! I'm already planning for another session with him!

As a small business owner, I live a very hectic life. I am always working and never really get any time to myself. I knew I needed to find something to enjoy myself for at least a day, no long Hawaii vacation or any of that stuff, as my business was just picking back up after the pandemic finally started to see some light at the end so I can't leave my team alone too long as so I don't get too behind on my responsibilities. I was talking with my friend and business partner Guadalupe about how I needed a small break before I overwork myself to the ground and told her to help me figure it out and she recommended I experience a boudoir session with Jonathan Soltero, I didn't even know what boudoir was until she explained it. It sounded like a fun way to let go and focus on me so I did it. And wowww was it worth it. Let me tell ya, it's like I shedded and came back better than ever. Jonathan is so chill and radiates positive energy, he made the experience so relaxing and stress free. Trust me girl, a boudoir session with Soltero will be the best investment you've ever made.
