The Most Inclusive Pool Party of the Summer: The 2024 KKP Boudoir Pool Party
Wow, what a summer! The 2024 KKP Boudoir Pool Party marked our sixth anniversary, and I’m still buzzing from the incredible energy that filled the air. This event is so much more than just a pool party—it’s a celebration of everything I believe in: equality, body positivity, and bringing people together. Whether you were flaunting your swimsuit for the first time in years, rocking your unique style, or just there to soak up the good vibes, this was a space where everyone was welcome. And honestly, this year’s party couldn’t have been more perfect. And, by the way, the event was completely sold out!
A Pre-Party to Remember
We kicked things off with a pre-party that seriously set the tone for the entire event. With almost 30 vendors showcasing their amazing talents, it was a feast for the senses. We had everything from artisanal goods to one-of-a-kind services, and I loved seeing everyone enjoy the KKP tattoo station, where you could grab some exclusive goodies, along with the VIP extras that added a little something special to the day. The friendship bracelet-making station was a total hit, and it warmed my heart to see new friendships forming right before my eyes. And can we talk about the DJ? They kept the energy high and the fun flowing all day long. I’m beyond grateful to all the vendors who made this pre-party unforgettable—you guys crushed it! I’ll be sharing the full list of vendors soon, so stay tuned!



Celebrating Every Body
One of the things I love most about the KKP Boudoir Pool Party is the incredible diversity of our guests. We’ve created a space where all genders, colors, bodies, and sizes are celebrated—and yes, even furries! There’s something so special about seeing so many different people coming together, united by a shared sense of acceptance and joy. Every time I looked around, I saw nothing but smiles, and it made my heart so happy. This event is a reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and celebrated, and I’m so proud to have created a space where that can happen.
A Personal Mission Fulfilled
I won’t lie—putting this event together is a lot of work. It takes months of planning, late nights, and an incredible team of volunteers who pour their hearts into making it happen. But you know what? It’s all worth it. I truly believe this is what I’m meant to do: to help create spaces where people can come as they are, feel safe, and celebrate their authentic selves. There’s nothing like hearing someone say this was their first time wearing a swimsuit in years, or that they finally felt comfortable in their own skin. That’s what this is all about for me, and it brings me so much joy.
Sober Fun in a Bourbon-Filled City
One thing that makes this event stand out is that it’s a sober celebration. In a city like Louisville, where bourbon is basically in the water, creating an alcohol-free space might seem like a challenge—but it’s one that I’ve embraced from day one. The KKP Boudoir Pool Party proves that you don’t need alcohol to have an amazing time. The laughter, connection, and pure joy are all the more genuine, and the energy is just as high—if not higher—without the influence of alcohol. I’m proud to offer a space where people can truly let loose, have fun, and make lasting memories, all without a drop of alcohol.
A Transparent Look at Our Journey
Now, I want to be real with you all. While this year’s event was filled with joy and celebration, we did face some challenges. The city wasn’t entirely thrilled with our 2024 party, and we’ve got some work to do to ensure that we’re all on the same page for next year. But rest assured, I’m already working on a plan to make sure that the 2025 event is even better—no matter the location. We want to work with a space that values us as partners, values our community, and finds value in our brand. Don’t underestimate me and this incredible community. We’re not going anywhere, and we’ll keep pushing forward to create the inclusive, joyful spaces we all deserve.
A Missing Chapter: 2023’s Unwritten Story
You might’ve noticed there was no blog post or official photo/video recap from the 2023 KKP Boudoir Pool Party, and I want to explain why. Unfortunately, the vendor we worked with last year didn’t deliver the quality of work we expected. This was honestly heartbreaking for me because I know how much these memories mean to our community. We chose not to share the subpar content, and while it was a tough decision, it was the right one. But don’t worry—we learned from that experience, and this year’s memories were even better.
As Seen in LEO Weekly
I’m beyond excited to share that we were featured in LEO Weekly this year! The article highlighted our event as a groundbreaking celebration of body positivity and inclusivity in Louisville, and I couldn’t be more proud. If you haven’t read it yet, check it out here. The recognition is a testament to how important and impactful this event has become, and I’m so honored to have received such a spotlight.
Why a Pool Party?
We have officially been taking your nudes for SIX YEARS! I couldn’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. Year six has been a year of growth for KKP. I feel like I’ve really grown into the photographer I want to be, using our home studio in ways that are new and exciting, continuing to educate myself, while also bringing on our first intern. But honestly, none of this would be possible without the trust of every single one of our babes.
Back in 2019, we decided to host a pool party as a way to celebrate our anniversary, give back to our clients and the community we had formed, welcome new people into the family, and—let’s be real—being in a swimsuit is as close to lingerie as you can get. A boudoir session is an intimate experience, sometimes involving coming to terms with how our bodies look and feel. I wanted to create a safe space outside the studio where more people could experience that same feeling of comfort in their skin, and just enjoy the hype of having a good time!
This pool party has become an extension of that boudoir experience—a way for our clients to take the confidence and joy they feel during their sessions and bring it into a fun, inclusive environment where they can share it with our community and make new friends.
