Sometimes inspiration comes from all places.  People ask all the time where I get inspiration for my boudoir shoots.  The most obvious answer is that inspiration is found in each of my clients.  I had a client ask me recently if I ever get bored – I said HECK NO!!!  Each client is different, outfits are different, and – most importantly – my connection with each client is unique – I could never get bored!  But, I do look for inspiration in all places…art museums, TV shows, architecture.  I tend to see things differently.

When I get inspired for a shoot, I typically ask one of my past clients to be a muse for something I’m envisioning.  Any client that has let me share their photos on my blog is on a short list of who I approach when I need to test something out.  This beautiful woman was one of those individuals.  I adore her lips, her eyes and her glorious curves!

I had the idea to do some different types of posing and lighting for my shoots.  And, at the end of her shoot from testing those changes (more coming on the blog soon about that) I decided to do something I hadn’t done in a few years – use some tulle!  The tulle setup is something that’s so classic and pure, and I find that it really lets my clients shine in their boudoir photos.  No fancy props, no outrageous outfits – just a gorgeous woman wrapped in some tulle!  It really brought me back and I enjoyed it so much.  A lot has changed in my work since I last used tulle in my shoots – and more importantly, the emotion in my images has changed.  So, I loved seeing the “New Maura” with an old setup!

I’m completely convinced that every woman should do a tulle session!  Since posting some of these photos in my private boudoir group on Facebook, clients have been asking to incorporate tulle into their shoots — oh yes!!!

Here are just a few photos:

I love it when clients come in to reward themselves!

I’m going to leave the blog today to this 50 year old beauty who came in for a session to reward herself!  She’s been thru so much and takes care of so many others that I was so honored to get to spend some time just celebrating her!  She’s absolutely amazing and KILLED IT during her boudoir!  Remember, it’s not just for young women – I have women of all ages invest in a boudoir photo shoot with me! 🙂

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  Initially was for a gift. As I looked through some of the pictures taken of other customers, I soon realized it would be fun and rewarding for myself.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  Tired. Unappreciated. Not confident in myself

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  Revitalized. Empowered. Beautiful

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  Totally blown away

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  The interaction with Maura; how excited she was to capture a great pic and how complimentary she was.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  Do it, if for no other reason…for yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Enjoy each and every moment of your life!  Today, I’m highlighting a client’s THIRD session with me!

“People often say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.”  

~Salma Hayek

Today, I want to share with you about a client’s third session with me!  She’s a wonderful woman who has been so good to me!  A few weeks ago, I shared a blog post about what she had to say about her shoot.  You should listen to what she says – she’s actually had a boudoir shoot with another photographer and 3 with me.  She understands what sets me apart from others and I’m so grateful for her support!

Who is She? This gorgeous beauty is a mom of three kids who runs two (or is it 3?!?) very successful businesses.  She’s recently separated from her husband but love has a funny way of working itself back to you!  There’s lots in store for her as the next year approaches.  Wink, wink.

Why Did She Do a Boudoir Photo Shoot?  This one was just for her.  The other 2 shoots she did were for her husband’s Christmas gift.  She decided to do something just for herself after all she’d been thru.

What Were Her Lingerie Selections?  Well, she used two pieces from my wardrobe collection – the black corset and the blue bodysuit.  She brought 2 bra and panty sets from Victoria’s Secret and used a hockey jersey as a fun outfit.  She looked amazing in everything!

Favorite Moment:  The laughs, the connection and the bond I share with her!  She’s so wonderful and we have so much fun.  She always shows up early, even though I tell clients not to, so we just sit down and have a good chat about everything going on in her life!
