What to Wear Wednesday

 

In honor of the fashion show last night we have some looks pulled right from the runway! While some of these are a bit ridiculous (teal space look with pirate looking scarf thing?) the rest of them are gorgeous. I love the blue corset look with the thick striped thigh highs. The red outfit has been very popular this year with clients and it looks amazing on! Definitely check out the website to see more looks- you are sure to get a ton of ideas for outfits!

Me vs facebook

Over the past 3 weeks I have encountered the wrath of facebook because of my boudoir images and it’s time to address the issue.

Over the past weeks facebook has declared my images to be of pornographic nature and it’s really, really frustrating to have that label thrown onto your images.
They are sexual in nature and they are meant to arouse(amongst other things) and maybe their is a fine line but lets throw the labels out for a minute and understand, IT’S ART.

My images are also meant to show a women’s beauty and come across that ANYONE can get in some lingerie and flaunt their body. They are classy images that my clients are proud of and THAT I AM PROUD OF.

In no way do I feel my images are any more provocative then the images companies like Victorias Secret or La Perla are showing on their facebook. Why is it OK that they keep active profiles filled with sensual images.
There images are full of sexuality, butts, nipple, stomach, chests, smiles, confidence, beauty.

BUT I GET BANNED FOR THOSE SAME THINGS?

This is an image pulled from La Perlas facebook page that shows nipple. Yet they keep an active facebook page.

One image I was banned for was a butt shot showing the same amount of butt as the 4th image in blue. VS has a lot of butt shots like this all over their facebook page.
While everyone of these images are gorgeous they are in no way different than mine.

Maybe it’s OK for them because they are selling lingerie?

BUT I’M SELLING AN EXPERIENCE


I know that writing this post might not change anything but I hope it brings some awareness.
I may not be some huge american corporation but I am a small business owner who gets to give an experience to women that might not normally be available to them.

Cleveland Boudoir Photography | Mrs R

This gorgeous client came in last month for a boudoir session that her husband booked for her! It was so great having him involved and she definitely didn’t have to sneak around trying to hide it from him. In fact, from what I hear, Mr R was also very excited about the shoot. I’m working on M’s album right now and wanted to share some images from her session. She is such a beauty and Ramona did an amazing job at her hair and makeup!


Chicago lingerie and Boudoir photography with Mrs C

Over the years I have had clients do a session for numerous reasons, the most popular being a wedding present. Lately though I am getting clients who are
doing a session after their wedding. We all know how much work goes into a wedding and the truth is it may be hard to fit one more apt. in before the big day.

Mrs. C lived in Chicago for many years and right after the wedding her and her new husband moved to Grand Rapids. It worked out the weekend I was in Chicago
shooting was her first weekend in her new home with the hubby in Michigan. It also worked out that Saturday is a big college football day so her husband was going
to be occupied anyways and so she made the drive.

 

Friday Ramblings: Portland

It is no secret among my friends and family that I have a soft spot for Portland. If I could head out there every month than no doubt I would be on that plane. Perhaps someday I will suck it up and Matt and I will move out there but for the time being, we suck it all up whenever we can.

There is a billboard in Portland that sums it up nicely, “Keep Portland WEIRD”
These were all shots from just walking around and our daily adventures in Portland.  Enjoy!
