Jennifer Rozenbaum of Jenerations Photography gets the money shot.

The day's soundtrack revolved around "Dirty Picture." Jennifer Rozenbaum's slightly nervous client, posing in nothing more than lace lingerie, had told the photographer that the song by Taio Cruz and Ke$ha was the tipping point that pushed her to take action on her lifelong desire to participate in a risqué photo session. The client planned to give the photos to her fiancé as a gift.

But the song title wasn't a perfect fit for the photo session--after all, Rozenbaum doesn't take dirty pictures. Her Queens, N.Y.-based company, Jenerations Photography, specializes in "boudoir," a photography genre that's more sensual than outright sexy. Rozenbaum photographs women--some in lingerie, others nude--with the goal of producing images that are tasteful and glamorous.
