Abbie {Pittsburgh Senior and Portrait Photographer}

Well, it’s been frigid.  Real frigid.  I mean – the coldest cold I’ve ever felt in my life!  I cannot subject my clients to outdoor sessions right now even though I love winter!

So, I had Abbie over to the studio for her session.  We had a blast!  Turned on the music and brought out the fan and we were having a ball taking some photos.  It’s sessions like this that remind me how much I love being a photographer.  It was just  true fun!

Here are some of her photos!

What a gorgeous face…

Boudoir can be sexy without revealing it all {Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer}

Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer, Maura Chick of Pics By Chicks Photography, shares some photos that show sexiness without revealing it all!

For more details on planning your ultimate boudoir experience, click the links below:

• Boudoir Pricing & Package details

• Boudoir photo shoot planning tips 

• Sample boudoir photos

• Get started with my boudoir session questionnaire!

NOTE:  All images approved by client for sharing.

As a boudoir photographer, I hear a lot – “Oh, I don’t have a good body” or “I don’t want to be naked” or “I don’t want to show a lot of skin”

Everyone is different.  Everyone’s comfort level is different.  I’m going to dispel a big myth with this next statement (ready….) — Boudoir photographs don’t need to be over the top and in your face sexy.

It’s the hint of seductiveness – not overt.  Implied images make the mind wander.  Look at the below photos from one of my recent boudoir sessions.  You don’t see much skin but it conveys a message.  Imagine what comes after she drinks her tea.  That’s sexy.

Of course, there were other images from this session that I’m not going to show on my website but these are proof that sexy doesn’t mean that you have to be sprawled out on a bed in next to nothing.  Sexy can be defined by many different things – a certain look, the position of the hands, a tilt of the head, a slight part of the lips..the list goes on.  One element can make a photo sexy!

I’ve had a few men contact me about purchasing a boudoir photo session for their spouse as a gift.  I ask them, “What would you find sexy about her photos?”  I was surprised by some of the answers but I heard from them that it’s the subtle boudoir photos that intrigue them because their mind gets to create what they think happens next!  Hmm, very good point!

My passion is boudoir photography.  My job is to make you look and feel as beautiful as you are!  I want your beauty to shine thru in your images.  I want you to be excited.  I want you to have fun.  Your comfort level is fully respected – I just want to give you an uplifting, pampered day!  Who wouldn’t want to feel like a supermodel for a day?!?

On a snowy day, tea in the morning, wrapped in a blanket.  Doesn’t get much better than this!
