If you’ve read my blog before or had a boudoir shoot with me, you may already know that I cry a lot in this job.  Tears of unbelievable happiness and joy! 🙂  I have been known to cry during sessions – at what I see happening, the connection I have with someone, the confidence that comes out, the laughing fits that turn to tears – I cry.  Sometimes I see something so deep in my client’s eyes that it moves me in ways that I can’t explain.

And, I’ve been known to cry when I get feedback from my clients after they’ve seen their photos.  Their reaction is something that is very special to me and I love hearing about the transformation that happens during and after the session.  I’ve heard some amazing things from client – one being that I’ve touched her soul ….

Boudoir sessions are so powerful!

In January, I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing a boudoir for a fellow photographer.  She does not photograph boudoir as she focuses solely on weddings, but she knows good photos from bad photos.  I’ll be honest – I was nervous before her photo shoot – it’s really different to photograph someone who has a deep knowledge of photography.  But, it was nothing short of spectacular – an amazing day with an amazing woman.  She sent me a wonderful testimonial that I’m sharing with you below.

Please take a minute to read what she had to say …

“Thankfully I have a husband who never fails in telling me how much he loves how I look, but it’s how I see myself that really counts.  YOU have changed that for me.  Honestly, you really have.  While my body may still look the same as it did a month ago, I have gained a new appreciation for it, and most importantly, myself.  You made me see myself in a whole new light, and I’ll be completely honest in saying, I LOVE LOOKING AT MYSELF NOW!  I had prints made to hang above our bed and I even treated myself to a canvas for my office.  I need to brush up on my measuring skills because I was a little off, so it’s massive – but I love it!!  
**

You not only have a talent, but a true gift.  Having the ability to make women look good in photographs is great, but the ability to make them FEEL great is incredible.  Not everyone can do that.  I left your studio feeling like I was on top of the world!  I could look at my photos all day long, no lie, but not just because I look great in them, but because of how they make me feel about myself, and that’s all because of you.  

**

You are changing the world Maura, one beautiful woman at a time.  You are amazing, fantastic, and truly incredible.  

Lots of love to you!”
***
My goal – to make you feel amazing, beautiful and confident in who you are at this moment!  Love yourself for who you are now, and see & feel that love when you look at your photos!  🙂

Studio Changes Forthcoming

I am SUPER EXCITED about some changes coming to the Pics By Chicks studio that will be exciting for boudoir photography Pittsburgh clients!  Details on those changes below, but first, follow the links below to get additional information on my boudoir photo shoots:

As I said at the beginning, I’m super excited about some changes I’m making to the studio.  They are new additions that I’m very anxiously awaiting completion of before sharing them all with you.  I will be running a model call later this month – when everything is finished – so stay tuned to the Facebook page or join my private boudoir group on Facebook (click here for that group) to be alerted when I’m releasing the model call.

First up, a new scene!

I’m finally utilizing the fireplace and mantle in the studio.  It’s a long time coming but I am excited to finally utilize this little space in the studio.  The perfect stool, pillow and rug make it come together even better!

Second, a new headboard!

Woo hoo!  A new white headboard is being delivered for all the bed photos!  I love the headboard I have now but needed to revamp it.  This one is taller and will spark my creative side as new poses can be utilized!

Third, paint!

Oh, yes, I had part of the studio painted to allow for a new backdrop in the studio.  It looks awesome in photos and I may even add a mirror to the wall to give it a little more spice!

Fourth, Gold, baby!

I had some new wires hung up in the studio that makes it much easier to utilize my awesome gold fabric and the bench that accompanies it!  I love the look of the gold wall!

Finally, FLOWER WALL!

This may be the one I’m most excited about.  I am making a flower wall backdrop.  They will be handmade paper flowers in pinks and a pastel purple.  It’s going to be gorgeous and it’s great for some soft and romantic photos!  I am so excited to make this happen – this is the piece that’s going to take the longest … about a month to put together.  It’s going to be a hard, long wait but it’s going to be SO WORTH IT!

That’s all for now.  Stay tuned for more.  And, DON’T DELAY in getting on the schedule.  I’m already heavily booking into June so it’s important to get on the schedule now!

The Joy of Children Photography

Being a children photographer Pittsburgh brings me joy.  Joy comes from seeing my young subjects smile and capturing their personalities!  Before I get into this blog post, follow the links below to check out my children photography services:

****

First off, yes, I’m catching up on my blogging from last year!  There were TONS of sessions I didn’t get to blog so I’m taking a chance over the next few weeks to get those shoots on the blog to share!

I have photographed these two fabulous children before and loved every minute of it!  Their mother, who is my best friend, printed some photos from their first shoot and they are still up in the house.  When I arrived to take these photos, I saw those old photos on the walls – my first thought was, “WOW.  I’ve only gotten better since that shoot.” hahaha.  I could tell they were “old school Maura” and I was happy to give my BFF some new photos for her walls.

Their mom has been by my side since my first week in college.  She’s been with me thru all life’s struggles and she stood by me as my matron of honor at my wedding.  She’s the most amazing woman I know and I have loved watching her family grow.  The best part about my visits with her – sitting on her deck, looking at the hills, drinking wine and talking.  I could talk to her for hours… <3

It was a beautiful fall day for their shoot and I was so happy with how it turned out.  Enjoy a few photos from their shoot!

A Wedding Gift

Boudoir Photography Pittsburgh is the highlight of my life and giving women this experience prior to their wedding is something truly special.  Before I get into all that, follow the links below for additional information on my boudoir services:

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.

006

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!
