Jessica, a fellow marine wife, contacted me to help her make a birthday present for her husband. What husband would not absolutely love to recieve boudoir photos of the one person he loves as a gift??? It's a great one ladies! I can't wait for him to see the pictures, he's going to LOVE them. This was my second boudoir session and it was such a drastic change from my first. I am constantly finding ways to challenge myself and make my work unique. As an artist, you should never stop learning and get comfortable which unfortunately happens often. I will never, ever settle for mediocre.
Alaina did the hair & makeup which came out awesome as always. I really, really encourage my clients to get "done up" as a part of their boudoir experience. The difference it can make in your photos, both finished and the confidence it brings out is just phenominal. I always tell my clients that my style of boudoir photography should look like you're in a fashion magazine, not a mens magazine. There is a fine line between trashy and sexy that sometimes gets blurred by photographers. Remind him that you are his QUEEN! :) I never show too much, because you always want to leave some for the imagination.
So, I have come to the conclusion that for my boudoir sessions, I will work exclusively with Alaina. We are coming up with different packages, but all will include full hair/makeup. We will offer styling, creative direction, hair & makeup, you name it. We're the one stop shop for your couture boudoir photos! :) I want my clients to have the best, so I will only offer the best!
Here are some of my favorites from the shoot with Mrs. Jessica. While taking her photos, I coudln't help but see Victoria Beckham & Alicia Keyes! You look absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for a great time, lots of laughs (thanks to your little one!) and I can't wait to hear what your husband's reaction is when he gets surprised with your gift! I'm looking forward to shoot the little cutie I met yesterday. Maybe we can have him bring that lollipop he so luckily found! Hahaha! Enjoy!
OMG You did a Phenomenal Job... Thank you Thank you Thank you... I can't wait to see the rest... You are Truly Professional and great artist...
ReplyDeleteLike I said I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin. the shoot made me feel more self empowering as a woman.
I can't wait to have you come shoot my family hopefully in the summer after my husbands birthday...
Now that we've met when your not busy with your works hopefully we can get out little ones together for a play date if you'd like.
<3 Jess

Are these all of your make-up artist? I thought her name was Ailana?
ReplyDeleteNo, Alaina did the hair and makeup on this shoot. This is Jessica, a client of mine. Isn't she pretty? :)
