Erica Peerenboom Photography & Boudoir by Erica is searching for fresh faces going into the new year!
Throughout the year, I will be searching for new faces to put in front of my camera. I will be doing some portfolio updates, practicing new lighting setups, and entering competitions such as PPA and other various submissions. You do not need to be a model! I will coach you so no worries. I'm looking for all ages/sizes/genders from 16 years old up to 100!
Some of my goals for these projects include:
- Creating new work for my portfolio (both boudoir and portrait) * Boudoir work is 18 + only
- Creating specific images for competitions
- Practicing new techniques (lighting, styling, wardrobe, makeup, and hair)
- Pushing myself and my creative boundaries in an effort to improve my skills
Whether I am creating a fine art piece for a competition or need to practice new lighting techniques, I need subjects!
At times I may be looking for someone with a very specific look so please be as detailed as possible in describing yourself below. I also ask that you submit a headshot and full body picture within 3 days of filling out the intake form. These photos do not need to be professional. Please email them to [email protected].
When filling out the form below, ALL questions are required. Once I receive your information I will keep it on file. Incomplete forms will not be considered. Filling out this form does not mean that I will definitely use you but everyone interested will be considered. You MUST be willing to sign a model release. These sessions will be planned for my own creative purposes, not for the purpose of selling prints or artwork. Participants/Models will receive a digital copy of any image(s) that I retouch, formatted for use on social media, and a full-resolution digital image, printable up to 8x10.
HAIR STYLISTS, MAKEUP ARTISTS, CLOTHING DESIGNERS- if you are looking to add to
your portfolio as well and would like to work with me on some of the creative projects, please let me know. There is a place at the end of the form to add this information.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please complete the form below. If you have further questions first, you may email me at [email protected]

As you can tell from my images, they are very clean and polished looking. I really enjoyed using these actions. I'm really looking forward to trying out some of the other sets that Sleeklens has such as the Black and White Collection and the Fashion Nova Collection. For those of you that use Lightroom to edit rather than Photoshop, they also have these available as presets. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
