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!!!”

Today, I leave the blog to my beautiful client who shares about her boudoir experience!

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  Boudoir photo shoots are a wonderful way to capture yourself at different points throughout your life. They require you to step out of your comfort zone and embody a side of yourself that you rarely get to see. Because they are very intimate, they are a great way to catalog your personal journey through life.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  I am very self aware. Which is good and bad. Almost like a roller coaster ride. On good days I feel great but on most days I am very aware of my aging flaws.

2017-01-04_00252017-01-04_0026

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  These photo shoots are a dedicated period of time to concentrate on the beautiful parts of yourself. Even the flaws are flaunted and it is a very uplifting and positive experience. In life as a mother you can forget that there is more to you than what you see in every day life. This is a wonderful reminder and every time you look at the pictures you get to relive those. They are timeless.

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

2017-01-04_00272017-01-04_0028

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  My favorite part of the shoot was including my husband and pregnant belly in such a personal and intimate way.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  Maura is a true professional who has a gift of making women see themselves in the best light possible. I think a boudoir photo shoot should be done every few years just like family pictures. With each age we celebrate something different as women and this is a wonderful way to keep those moments forever. You will never wish you didn’t have the shoot done. You will only wish you did.maternity boudoir pittsburgh2017-01-04_0030
