I am happy to be hosting our first annual holiday boudoir event. We had an amazing turn out at our Valentine's event (which we will also be hosting again in January), so decided that you ladies might like to spice up the holidays this year. I don't plan to make it holiday themed in the shooting so much (unless this is what you want) but will just do my normal, classic, tasteful portraits. I talk to a lot of ladies who are always saying, oh I am going to do that and then keep putting it off. They tell me they want to lose those last 10 pounds, etc. Just go ahead and do it! Lighting and posing are your friends and I WILL make you look good, so not to worry. Those last 10 pounds have a very sneaky way of never quite wanting to leave and before you know it years have gone by! I will emphasize the things you like and hide the things you don't.
This is something every woman, especially mamas, NEEDS to do for themselves. Yes, your man will get some benefit from it, but I can honestly say this is really for you and about you. It is all too easy once you get married and have kids to forget about the woman, I am very guilty of this myself, and to always put yourself last. Not wearing make up much, not fixing your hair, not dressing up, carrying around baby weight, always having some sort of fluid or food stuck on you somewhere, it all adds up to us feeling less than pretty sometimes. Of course you still are, but it gets a little lost in your day to day shuffle. So, to have a little time (kid free) to get pampered by my hair and make up artists and then have me create beautiful portraits that will be sure to take your breath away is an experience you will not soon forget. There have been lots of happy tears shed seeing the final product and lots of lost self confidence found and that is what this is about. I personally have one of my images on my nightstand and I look at it every morning as I am getting up to make lunches with no make up and jammies and think, yeah, I have still got it :) Okay, off my soap box now... I feel like the hair club for men guy "I am not just the president, I am also a client (is that how it goes??), ha! I have been on both sides of the camera for this, so know how it feels, and it does feel good, promise! Also, I know almost every lady is nervous and scared but I have yet to have one finish not smiling and feeling happy about how easy, fun, and relaxed the shoot was. Don't be afraid of me :)

I love this image so much because it is such a perfect example of my vision for these sessions. She is gorgeous and sexy but not overly so. Subtle. Nothing but a tasteful, timeless portrait that I know she truly treasures now and will forever.
