Burlesque is not just a performance; it's a powerful expression of femininity and self-acceptance. I recently had the chance to work with the electric Valerie Von Voss during a photo session, a celebrated burlesque dancer and the vibrant host of Wicked Hot parties in Orlando.

It was fun stepping into the studio this day. Being able to collaborate with another artist is always invigorating, and the creative energy that fills the air is always intoxicating. I specifically rented this studio because of the vintage decor and various sets that I knew I wanted to use with the costumes Valerie would bring. The moment Valerie Von Voss stepped into the space the atmosphere transformed. Her vibrant personality and striking presence instantly set the tone for an unforgettable photoshoot.
Our vision for the shoot was to capture the essence of burlesque—its glamour, playfulness, and boldness. Valerie arrived with stunning costumes and props, each telling its own story. From sequined gowns to feathered accessories, every piece was a testament to the artistry of burlesque.

Valerie's ability to embody different characters and moods brought the photos to life. We played with lighting, angles, and props, ensuring that every shot captured the essence of burlesque. The laughter and playful banter between us made the session feel less like work and more like a celebration of art.
Throughout the day, we shared stories about our experiences in the creative industry. Valerie spoke passionately about her journey as a burlesque dancer and how the art form has evolved over the years. It was inspiring to hear her insights, and it reminded me of the importance of collaboration in the creative process.


The Burlesque Scene in Orlando
I would be remised to not talk about the Burlesque scene in Orlando and bring awareness to this beautiful thriving culture. Orlando's burlesque scene is a vibrant tapestry of talent, creativity, and community. Over the years, it has blossomed into a hub for performers and enthusiasts alike. With various shows and events happening regularly, the city has become a welcoming space for those who appreciate the art of tease and performance.
Several venues in Orlando showcase burlesque talent, offering audiences a chance to experience the allure of this art form. From intimate theaters to lively nightclubs, each venue has its unique charm and atmosphere. Events often feature a mix of seasoned performers and new talent, creating a dynamic and exciting environment. This diversity allows for a rich exchange of ideas and styles, making each show a unique experience.



One of the most beautiful aspects of the burlesque scene in Orlando is the sense of community among performers. Many artists support one another, sharing tips, resources, and encouragement. This camaraderie fosters an environment where creativity can thrive, and new artists feel empowered to take the stage. Workshops and classes are also available, providing aspiring performers with the skills and confidence they need to shine.
Burlesque much like Boudoir is an empowering experience and really lights your soul on fire. My collaboration with Valerie Von Voss was not only a creative endeavor but also a reminder of the magic that happens when artists come together. The burlesque scene in Orlando continues to flourish, offering a space for expression, empowerment, and connection. As we continue to celebrate and support this vibrant community, I look forward to capturing more moments that embody the spirit of burlesque and the incredible talent that Orlando has to offer.
