This job is tons of fun for me!  I love sharing this experience with my clients…tons of laughs, smiles and yet super awesome photos are created!  Life isn’t meant to be serious all the time and I love giving this unique experience to my clients.  We do have just a tad bit of fun!

So, here’s what she had to say:

2017-01-04_00392017-01-04_00402017-01-04_0041

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for a couple reasons. One, a gift for my husband, and two, to boost my self confidence. Growing up, I was made fun of regularly for my late physical development, small chest, stringy hair, braces, big glasses, and many other things. I have always carried a warped self image and felt this would not only help to change that, but be an unexpected surprise to the love of my life.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  I felt insecure; not pretty enough or didn’t have the right body to do a shoot like this. I also felt unsure, so much so I fought with myself to not cancel at least three times. I was embarrassed at first to even mention it to anyone.

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  To be 100 percent honest, initially I was still a bit unsure of how the photos would turn out, thinking I would end up looking boyish, but i smiled the whole way home. I thought about the pictures I saw on Maura’s website and i remembered asking her to make me look as pretty as those women. I was happy i did it, and Maura made me feel as though I was the most beautiful woman ever.

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  Empowering, fun, entertaining.

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  Maura for certain. She is so funny, down to earth and genuine. I wanted to stay all day just to chat with her. She is such an artist and is so modest about her talent. She honestly made me feel like a model and made me laugh the whole time. I can’t wait to do another shoot.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  DO IT! No matter how you feel you look, Maura does wonderful things, not just with her camera, but with her words and actions as well. My perception of myself changed after I saw my pictures, I couldn’t believe it was me. pittsburgh boudoirpittsburgh boudoir

Who is She? A most fabulous nurse who is constantly serving others!

Why Did She Do a Boudoir Photo Shoot?  She wanted to give her fiancé something that was going to knock his socks off!  And, boy did she ever!

What Were Her Lingerie Selections?  Lots of great stuff as usual!  I think her black corset was from Yandy; she had a bodysuit and teddy from Victoria’s Secret; we used her veil and I strategically place tulle around her; a bra & panty set; and I put her in one of my tops right at the end of the session!

Favorite Moment: The amount of laughs we shared was something special.  And, she made me come alive even more in getting to be creative with so many shots!  She even has a couple poses named after her!  (Note – I name my poses after certain clients who try it first!)  I’m hoping to have her back some day…I’m sure her husband would love to have her here again! <3

Well, I’m finally getting around to blogging more of my weddings from 2016!  It was a crazy wonderful year and I’m taking some time to share some of the fabulous couples that graced my camera over the fall season!  Today, it’s Lisa & James!  Here’s a little about their wedding:

Venue:  Ceremony was in the library at the Heinz History Center!  What an amazing venue with so many cool things for their guests to see.  She got dressed in a conference room upstairs that had this gorgeous light coming in thru a window.  I live for little moments like that – just a quite time for me and the bride!  Their reception was held at the Grand Hall at the Priory on the North Side.  What a wonderful venue!  We even snuck away for a few minutes to grab some photos on the balcony, and Lisa requested a full group shot of all their guests on the dance floor.  It was so great to see everyone come together for a quick photo.

Favorite Moment of the Day:  This is always hard for me to write because I love so much of each and every wedding!  But, Lisa and James are very similar to me and Tony, so their bridal portraits were super fun!  We had a blast as we knocked out photos in just 25 minutes!  There is this cute little area right next to the Priory that was great for their photos.  I LOVED sharing this day with them and I am so excited to see what the future holds for this writer and musician!  Follow your dreams, Mr. and Mrs. Drakes!  🙂

Here are a few photos from their day!

Let’s start with a private moment I had with Lisa before the ceremony in this beautiful light!  Gosh, she’s gorgeous!  And, that birdcage veil was perfect for her!

Today, I leave the blog to one of my clients!  She was worried prior to booking her shoot that her tiny stature would limit her ability to do a boudoir shoot but one of my favorite things to do in my sessions in create curves!

Here’s what she had to say:

2017-01-04_00322017-01-04_0033

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  I decided to invest in a boudoir photo shoot as a gift to my husband for our anniversary and to boost my self esteem. I’ve always been the quiet type of person and I thought that by doing this I would surprise him and myself by doing something out of my comfort zone.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  I was very self conscious about myself and my body before my photo session. Between having two children and life going on I never thought of myself as beautiful or attractive in any sense.

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  I felt empowered, gorgeous, beautiful and like there was a side to me that I just wasn’t seeing but was there the entire time. I felt like I was on cloud nine and couldn’t believe how amazing it felt to have someone tell me how gorgeous I was, other than my husband, and that I truly was gorgeous. I just had to believe it.

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  Fun, amazing, life-changing

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  Having my hair and makeup done and being put in such fabulous jewelry to complete each outfit. How much fun I had with Maura and her personality is amazing.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  Don’t hesitate if you are considering doing a boudoir photo shoot. This experience has changed my life. I now see myself as a beautiful woman. I know that it may seem intimidating but every ounce of nerves went straight out the window as soon as I walked through the door. Do this for yourself and see what a difference it will make it in your life. It completely changed mine.

Here’s what my beautiful client had to say about her photo shoot!  Because of her job, I can’t reveal her face in any of the photos but she wanted me to share her testimonial with you all.

In her words…

“I don’t consider myself very shy but I never thought I would be able to do something like this photo shoot. I didn’t take too much time to think about it because I knew if I did I would chicken out. So unlike a lot of people who said they “finally” took the plunge, I just went ahead and booked it not allowing myself to think too much. I was really nervous leading up to my day but my friend told me how great you were! Broken record like everyone else but you immediately eased any nerves and I felt comfortable right away! So comfortable in fact I didn’t care when accidental nipple escapes happened! I can’t thank you enough for the fun, sassy and confidence boost you gave me with this photo shoot. When I received the link to look at my photos I was so nervous!! Of course I shouldn’t have been because you are FANTASTIC at your job. I love everything about all of the photos and I know my husband will too 🙂 I think every woman should do this once in their lives!! Thank you again!!!”
