When you’ve been together for almost 40 years, you’ve celebrated a lot—birthdays, anniversaries, holidays—but Beth and Pat found a brand-new way to connect: a couples boudoir session at Allebach Photography.
The longtime couple responded to our Suits and Showers Model Call and brought with them a lifetime of love, laughter, and resilience. Married for 36 years and together for 39.5, Beth and Pat have built a beautiful life filled with two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two incredibly adorable grandsons. Add in their two energetic pit bull mixes, and you’ve got a household full of love—and chaos.
Last year, they both turned 60 and celebrated with a dream trip to their favorite destination: St. Maarten/St. Martin. During that vacation, Beth came across Allebach Photography on social media.
“I really enjoyed the posts and looking at the various shots,” she said.
When they returned home, life picked up again—until one day, Beth spotted our most recent model call. She mentioned it in passing to Pat, not expecting much. To her surprise, he said, “Sure!”
That one word set everything in motion.
Weathering Life’s Storms Together
Beth and Pat have shared a lifetime of ups and downs—raising children, celebrating milestones, grieving losses, and navigating careers. But the biggest challenge came in 2015, when Beth was diagnosed with breast cancer.
They faced it together, side by side.
“Patrick’s support and constant love was unsurpassed,” she shared. “He still tells me I’m beautiful every day, even when I don’t feel it.”
Although Beth recently learned she needs more reconstructive surgery this summer, she’s grateful that the issue isn’t cancer-related. And through it all, Pat remains by her side.
From Casual to Steamy: Their Session Style
Beth and Pat started their shoot in jeans and white shirts—a simple, comfortable way to ease into the experience. Then, they gradually stripped down. Beth wore a bodysuit and two matching lingerie sets, while Pat brought along some risqué briefs.
“We loved starting off casual and building from there,” Beth said. “That was a lot of fun!”
Though Pat felt a bit nervous at first, he quickly relaxed and fully embraced the experience. Beth had done boudoir before, so she knew what to expect—and couldn’t wait to share it with him.
What Moved Them Most
The slideshow reveal was the moment everything came full circle.
“I cried,” Beth said. “Pat was amazed. He just kept smiling the whole time.”
They chose a 20×30 canvas portrait in a soft BDSM pose to replace a longtime photo hanging in their bedroom.
Beth recalled worrying that she was the focal point, and Pat wasn’t as visible. His response?
“You’re the most beautiful woman to me, and I want to see you every day in that photo. You deserve to be center stage.”
That comment brought Beth to tears once again.
Why They Recommend a Couples Session
Beth and Pat’s advice?
“DO IT! Just do it. It’s an investment in so many ways.”
Even just a few days after the shoot, Beth felt a renewed confidence. Pat also expressed his appreciation for the artistry and shared how comfortable he felt as the session progressed.
Their favorite part?
“We’ve done a lot together in 39 years, but this was something new. It was fun, it was hot, it was sexy. And Pat said he thoroughly enjoyed watching my ass all day as I walked around in lingerie!”
That’s a memory neither of them will forget.
