Pin Her Down On A Photograph Album

Here are a few photos from a recent boudoir session. These were given as a gift to a groom from his bride and I wanted to wait to post them until after the wedding. The more risque ones will remain for his eyes only. Boudoir sessions are so much fun! Women do them for their significant others, as well as for themselves. It's another way to pamper yourself. Who doesn't love having a make-up artist do their make-up? I think we pretty much all wish there was someone hanging around all day, just to apply make-up correctly. I know we had fun on this shoot - good music, good people, and we ended with ice cream!







Isn't she beautiful? Congratulations on the wedding, you two!

Nobody Else But You

Hello blog readers! I am scheduling a boudoir session over a weekend in July and wanted to gauge interest. New brides, brides-to-be, girlfriends, etc - it's so much fun! If you want to know more about the sessions or see some samples (so you know it's not as scary as it sounds), send me an email! It's a pretty empowering experience. Plus, there's music, make-up, beverages, and snacks. I know the only way to get people to show up for something is to offer them food and drink...

I Remember When Rock Was Young

One more boudoir image that doesn't reveal too much! This is my 7th blog post in a row, so I'm pretty happy. It's been a fun little experiment to post everyday and have to come up with new song lyrics. Maybe next I'll choose another 70s superhero - Paul Simon or James Taylor or something. There's a whole world of music out there!

This weekend was pretty amazing. In my last post (which seemed a little dazed), I mentioned that I tried octopus. Very adventurous of me. I second shot a really fun wedding on Saturday. It was great to get back in the swing of things. Today I actually had a site visit for an upcoming wedding, so now I'm really in wedding mode. I also had a headshot session today. It went so well. I love photographing people. I love when they show up nervous and go home happy. It truly makes me feel like I've done my job and done it well. With today's headshot comes some definite excitement but I'll hold off on that announcement until later. Tomorrow I go back to photographing babies! I'm so excited to meet this little guy. And then I get to introduce you all to him. Until then, have a lovely Sunday night! There are only about 2 minutes left!

Live For Each Second Without Hesitation

That was a close one! The internet/cable has been out since just after 5p. It just disappeared, right in the beginning of Gilmore Girls. However, because of the outage, Doug and I went downstairs to have some sushi and a drink and I actually tried dried octopus. Very strange. Although I have to say, it wasn't that bad.

This photo is yet another one from my boudoir session last weekend. I have had so much fun editing all the pictures! I could not be any happier with the results. Tomorrow I'm photographing a wedding - I'll be second shooting, so I'm really excited about that. Then Sunday I have a headshot session. It will all keep me very very busy!

She's Always Been A Lady of the Road

The title of this post comes from the song "Rock and Roll Madonna."

On Valentine's Day, Doug and I went to the the Acton Jazz Cafe to listen to some jazz and hang out. On the wall there was this really cool photo of a woman's foot in a stiletto and there was just something about it that captured my attention. First of all, it looked uncomfortable - the "beauty is pain" philosophy manifested in a photo. Second, it was just the back of the shoe - you couldn't see the toes at all. This past weekend, when I saw that one of my clients was wearing the fishnets and the black heel, I decided it was my turn to try to recreate that photo. It's obviously not the same, nor would I want it to be, but I'm really happy with the results.

She's Got Electric Boots

Day Two and I'm just getting this post up under the wire! The post title comes from the song, "Bennie and the Jets," in case you didn't know. Anybody with electric boots just has to be super-cool (or "really keen" as the song says), so it's the perfect song to go with this photo!
