I can’t show you this gorgeous woman’s face but I can show you some awesome boudoir detail photos that conceal her identity.  She came in for a boudoir photo shoot as a wedding gift to her fiancé and it was an awesome shoot!  I love celebrating upcoming weddings by creating some stunning images of the future bride.  Seeing their excitement for the big day and their love for their future spouse is something truly amazing.

I adore the time I get to spend with all these fabulous women in the Pittsburgh area. Whether they are doing the session as a gift for someone or just for themselves, my life is so enriched by the women in front of my camera.  One of the best things about this job for me is that thru the experience of being a boudoir photographer, I’ve learned how to be comfortable with myself and love what I have.  Could I stand to lose a few pounds?  Yes.  But, I love where I am and who I am at this exact moment – that’s not being cocky – that’s me appreciating all I have, celebrating who I am at this moment, and recognizing that that person is amazing!  <3  This is exactly what I try to accomplish with my clients!

I love this job so incredibly much.

Enjoy some detail photos!

Join My Facebook Group

Boudoir Photography Pittsburgh is THE BEST THING EVER!  I love my job and I love sharing this experience with women.  Late last year, I created a private boudoir VIP group on Facebook.

It’s open to women only and it’s a way to share all the behind the scenes boudoir stuff with prior clients, potential clients, friends of clients and just anyone who wants to be a part of the boudoir experience.  More below.

The group has been a fun place with lots of positivity, and I love it!  I love being able to share information with people and even get advice from those in the group.  I am enjoying letting people get an inside look into my boudoir business and it makes this job so much more personal.  I share behind the scenes looks, before & afters, motivational posts, wardrobe ideas, makeup tips, etc.  Past clients are also sharing their thoughts on their session and even some photos!  It’s lots of fun!

I had some great fun when I asked for styling help for the outdoor winter themed boudoir session I’m doing next month.  It was awesome to hear different opinions and ideas.

JOIN THE GROUP – Click Here

The group is open to all women – past client, potential client, want to learn more about boudoir or just want to see uplifting and fun photos on Facebook.  It’s not a sales group so I don’t really promote myself or ask you to hire me.  Yes, I’ve booked a few clients from this group but my purpose is to just have a fun place where I can share with you more about the boudoir experience.  I make it very personal!

Boudoir is an empowering, uplifting and all around amazing experience.  It’s a dream job for me and I am so thrilled to be able to share my passion with others!

I’m super excited for the things I have planned for my private group this year, and I have a contest running that no one knows about so it will be fun to share that info that later this year!

Come join us! And, add your friends who you think would be interested in learning about boudoir!

Killing It!

I have two mottos this year for my Pittsburgh Boudoir Photography business and one of them is “KILL IT IN 2016!”  Before I get into this blog post, please take a moment to follow the links below to learn more about me and my ultimate boudoir experience:

*****

My goal for 2016 is to reach as many women as possible and give them the boudoir experience.  Yes, I have a specific number of clients I want for 2016 and I’m already 1/3 of the way there .. and it’s only January!  I’m already taking bookings into June and I’m so excited to work with some amazing women this year.  I want to KILL IT in 2016!

I want to reach the goals I’ve set for myself and be unapologetic while doing it!  I’m going to forge ahead and reach women.  I cherish the time I get to spend with my clients and no two sessions are the same!  I want to empower women and help them reconnect them with what makes them so fabulous!

In my private boudoir Facebook group, I shared a Motivation Monday post that said,

“Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.”

I want to be that person.  I want people to feel good about themselves when they are with me – that they are someone who matters!  My time with clients is so much more than just a photo shoot and I love getting to share my life with them, and they share their life with me.  This job brings me so much joy and I’m so honored to be able to share that joy with my clients!

Here are a few photos from a boudoir session from last year.  Pretty in purple — my favorite color!

She’s Not An Artist

I’ve never felt like an artist.  When I think of an artist, I think of painters and sculptors.  Photographers are never someone you immediately think of when someone asks you your favorite artist.  Think – right now – name your favorite artist.  You’ll probably think of a few people and I bet that none of them are photographers.

I never thought of photography as an art until I had a conversation recently with my mother.  I thought in my mind that there is no art in what I do – I execute photos.  But, what I realized when talking with my mom is that it does take an artistic eye to see something, capture it with my camera and editing the image to produce an amazing result.  And, let’s not forget posing.  Especially when it comes to my boudoir photography, posing is an art – to know what looks good on each and every body type – that truly is an art and vision.

Another layer of artistic vision comes to life when I do styled photo shoots.  You see – this is a whole different level of photography vision.  Seeing something in my head, getting the props, setting it up and executing the photographs.

Plain and simple…

I’m an artist

The lies we tell ourselves are sometimes louder than the truth.  We have to find a way to make the truth louder.  That’s one of my goals for 2016 – I want the truth about my art and talent to be foremost in my mind.  We have to train our minds to think the way we want it to – that’s one thing I’ve learned from all the personal and business development books I’ve read.

It’s time to set our minds right and see in ourselves what other see.  

Here are some photos of a styled shoot I did with Millie and Nora.  It was a fun little shoot with two amazing girls, whose mother is pretty awesome!

If you’d like details on a styled session, please contact me to discuss.

The Year of You

I encourage you to make this your BEST YEAR YET!  I’m going by the creed this year to Kill It in 2016 and I wish that for everyone else as well!

Boudoir Photography Pittsburgh brings me so much joy and happiness, and I’m so humbled to be able to do something each and every day that I love!  It wasn’t always the case – more on that below – so I treasure the days I have now!

Before I get into all that, please follow the links below for details on my Ultimate Boudoir Experience:

One thing I’ve learned – that took me longer to learn than I’d like to admit – you need to change your way of thinking.  For example, if we want to lose weight, you have to say “I’m going to eat broccoli.”  You shouldn’t say, “I’m not going to eat ice cream.”  All your brain heard in the last sentence was “ice cream” and now all you think about is ice cream.

Focus on the positive.  Train your brain to see what you want.  Visualize your desired life.  GO GET IT!

You may say, “Well, what does she know – she’s just a photographer.”  Hey, the truth is…I left a big corporate job to make my hobby a successful career.  I never had any intentions of being a photographer when I left college years ago and started my career.  Fast forward 12 years, and that camera that I loved so much became a way to make me happy each and every day.  And, BAM!  My passion was ignited.  I haven’t looked back!

Yes, some days are harder than others but I’m living a life I didn’t think was possible.  I used to think that I could never leave the stability of Corporate America, but I knew I wanted to be a photographer.  Having two full time jobs was just turning into too much so I turned my back on the job that paid me oh so very well!  It was the best decision of my life.

One of the many things I’ve learned – you have to take time for yourself.  It’s a MUST.

When’s the last time you did something for yourself?

This year I encourage you to change your way of thinking – focus on the positive things & all the great things about yourself.  And, I encourage you to do something for yourself.  CELEBRATE YOU this year!

Here’s a before & after of a wonderful transformation.  I hear a lot from women that they just don’t think they can be the women in my photos.  And, I’m here to tell you that YES YOU CAN!  Boudoir is something every woman should experience.  You too can be just like this woman!
