Hey NYC, have you had your boudoir shoot?

One of the nice things about booking my big boudoir package is all the outfits and time you get. I start the session shooting all my favorite poses but then I have another 90 minutes to try different things and add a lot of variety to your galleries! As a photographer, I also want to challenge myself. When I travel I don’t have all the luxuries of shooting at home. I am a pretty clean shooter and I don’t like a lot of backdrops or colors because I believe the focus should be 100% on you, not the backdrops. When I am in a hotel though and a client has a 2+ hour shoot and 6 different outfits I really get to stretch my creativity. How many poses can I get in this room? Where can I shoot what outfits? The light is so bright here but nice and moody over here…oh, bathroom, mirrors! This is seriously what goes through my mind! I want to make it look like a 400 sq. foot room is 1000 sq. feet. I think mission accomplished! It also helps when I have some gorgeous lady like Miss M:)

NYC cupcakes and boudoir

One of my all time favorite things is going to NYC and shooting boudoir sessions. Now, multiple my love for that by a 100 when a client brings a box of cupcakes to incorporate into the session.

Mrs H didn’t want any with her face showing so here are just a couple of her session at The Bryant Park Hotel (another favorite NYC thing of mine)

Pretty lingerie in NYC

 

I have not disappeared, I PROMISE! In all seriousness though, I MISS MY BLOG!!

Between founding The Boudoir Forum with my wonderful friend Jennifer Williams, prepping for WPPI/Vegas, some huge shoots in DC/NYC coming up, WEDDING PLANNING(EEK!) and just life, I forgot I had a blog!

SO, I am seriously doing this. Posting 1 picture and running but I am saying HIIIIIIIIIIII, I’ll be back soon! xoxo

Akron Maternity Photographer

Part two of this gorgeous Mama to be is now up! If you haven’t seen her outdoor maternity session definitely make sure to check it out. We did this session in 2 parts. The first is a more boudoir type feel and the 2nd, all outside.If you’re interested in doing your own maternity session let me just tell you it will be AMAZING! It’s so much fun and I know Melissa loved her images. Here are a few of the emails and notes she wrote me.

“These are AMAZING! I love all of them! It’s going to be so hard to choose!! Thank you so much for capturing such a special time in our lives. I can hardly wait to get the finished product. You are fantastic and must do more maternity shoots!! I am so happy that I chose you once again to work with! xoxoxoxo Melissa”

“ahhhh!! I have 53 “favorites” on my gallery! How the heck am I going to narrow this down!?!?! Darn you, for being so wonderful!”

So so so lovely!

Boudoir Photos in DC

One of the fun things is traveling for boudoir sessions and getting to hang out with my clients. When I got into DC, for the first time in years, my room was not ready. Mrs K and I hung out in the lobby just hanging out and chatting while we waited. It was great getting to know her more beforehand and it made the session such a breeze. She was a true natural and I am so happy she is letting me share some of her session with you all.
