Sexy is in the Details

Sexy is in the details.  Today, Boudoir Photography Pittsburgh, Pics By Chicks, presents some photos that make a boudoir collection complete – the detail photos.  Those special photos that don’t show your face but highlight parts of your body that are extremely sexy.  The best part – it leaves the mind wondering what happens next!  But, first –

Welcome to some awesome AWESOME detail photos.  I am so happy to be able to share these with you.  I love these little detail photos – they are a perfect addition to your boudoir collection.  As a photographer, I have to see these little and subtle things and appropriately capture them with my camera.  And, I love to do so.  These awesome photos are so amazing and I always get an email from my clients telling me that their significant other loved these kids of photos.  Why?  Because their mind gets to wander about what happens next… wink wink.

Enjoy some detail photos from this lovely woman!

The Impact of Boudoir

I ran my boudoir mini sessions this weekend and they were a smashing success!  I was honestly worried that I would struggle in connecting with my clients in such a short amount of time.  I really pride myself on making lasting relationships with my clients and I wanted my boudoir mini sessions to be the same.  Well, I must say that I had so much fun with my clients on Sunday – it was amazing.  And, it was equally great to check my email and get the below email from one of my clients.  She was so wonderful during her session and this email clearly outlines why EVERY SINGLE WOMAN SHOULD DO A BOUDOIR PHOTO SHOOT.

Please read her testimonial – it’s an important message for all you ladies.

Maura,

      I’m so happy that A[name removed] opened my eyes to Pics By Chicks.  I certainly owe her a few drinks!!  I can’t begin to say how thankful I am for the experience that you provided me with today; because for the first time in my life, I felt BEAUTIFUL. I’ve always been self conscious (like many females today), but my self consciousness is different.  I’m confident in myself.  I feel smart, strong, and comfortable in my personality.  My self consciousness comes from the inability to see beauty in myself.
     When you turned your camera around to show me the image you captured, I was overwhelmed with emotion.  As you could see, I had teared up right there on the spot.  That moment was absolutely priceless, and quite frankly, unexpected. I couldn’t believe that was me…beautiful, empowered, and, dare I say it, SEXY! Thank you for helping me see my true beauty.  What you do for women is incredible.  You should be so proud of yourself for the work that you do. 
      You create such a positive environment for your clients the minute they walk through the door; welcoming us with excitement and more importantly, taking the time to be with us and get to know us one on one, building trust. It means so much to me that you accommodated me and my, “not so common” outfit during my mini-session. That was unbelievably nice of you, and I’m still smiling from ear to ear because of it. I’m so glad that your husband supports what you do (HIGH FIVE, HUBBY)!!  Today was so worth the drive and the cost.  TRUST ME!
       Maura, you are so talented, fun, and raw and I LOVE IT!!!  I will be spreading the word about you and your business to all of my friends.  You deserve the recognition and the new business!  I had so much fun being on the other side of your camera today. I can’t say it enough….thank you!
With much gratitude,
C[name removed]

She said it better than I ever could!  I will admit that I cried while reading this, and I immediately went to my awesome husband and told him that my job is important!  And, it is. Working with women is my life’s calling and I’m so honored to be able to do what I love.

Boudoir Tips – What Sets Me Apart

Another boudoir tip here from Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer, Maura Chick of Pics By Chicks Photography.  I want to talk about what sets me apart from other photographers.  For details on my boudoir photography services for those in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, please follow the links below:

Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer Pics By Chicks Photography - What Sets Maura apart from other boudoir photographers and why she should be your boudoir photographer

 

Why am I different?

1 – Unlimited Outfits

During our session time, I allow you unlimited outfits.  We shoot for two hours and we will get thru as many outfits as we can during that time.  While you are in hair and makeup, I will really look at all your outfits and have a plan for each.  I always tell my clients to bring options.  The reason unlimited outfits is so great – what happens if you are allowed only 2 outfits during your shoot, and when you arrive, one of your outfits doesn’t look so great.  You’re out an outfit.  With my boudoir shoots, you can bring lots of options and if something doesn’t work out, we just move on to the next.

2 – You are my Focus

I only do one photo shoot a day.  I want to make sure that each clients gets my full attention and energy!  I don’t just stand there and take pictures.  I’m up, down, running around – always getting the best shot possible.  I’ll get down on the floor and show you what I’m looking for with each pose.  In order for me to give you the best possible experience, you will be my full focus for the day.  I won’t be distracted with another client coming in after your shoot – the day is yours.  So, if we run a little long, there’s no worries from my side.  You’ll never see one client coming in while you are leaving.    IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!!

While I’m likely ready to collapse from exhaustion after your photo shoot, I will immediately run to the computer, download and start looking at your photos!  When this job is your passion, you get energized to keep going!

3 – Extensive Training

I’m highly trained in the art of boudoir.  And, yes, it’s an art.  I have to know how to pose all body types, how to work with my clients, how to light scenes, how to photograph and how to edit photos.  I’ve done extensive training in each of these areas, and I’ve heavily invested in my education.  And, when I invest in my education, I am actually investing in you.

I know all body types.  I know how to pose you to make you look amazing!  I never use models to advertise my work – you only see real women on my blog.

4 – My Editing

This goes along with #3, but my editing is top notch!  I personally hand edit every single boudoir photo that you see in your gallery.  I don’t outsource my editing because I want control of my photos.  And, each photo is different, each pose is different and those photos may need different edits. I spend hours editing a boudoir collection so present the best possible photos and I do all the tweaks necessary!

5 – My Passion

From the moment you first contact me to the day I deliver your final product, you will know that 1) I love my job; 2) I love my clients.  My sole focus is to make sure you have the best experience possible.  You will see my passion as we shoot, you will see my passion as you leave with a special gift, you will see my passion when I deliver your photos.  Every step of the way you will KNOW that boudoir photography is my passion.  At the end of the day, your photographer should love what they do and I can tell you that I LOVE MY JOB!

Trust that you are in good hands and that I know what I’m doing!  Let me give you the experience of a lifetime! <3

Greg Loves Bri

Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers, Pics By Chicks Photography, celebrated Bri & Greg’s wedding at the Double Tree in Mars, PA.  For more information on our wedding photography services, please follow the links below.

It was a glorious (ahem … and cold) early October Saturday for Bri and Greg’s fabulous wedding!  We have had a blast getting to know Bri and Greg and being a part of their wedding day was something very special to us.  I knew we’d have a great time with them – we did – but we also had a great time with their families!  Watching everyone celebrate Bri and Greg’s marriage was amazing – happy tears, smiles, laughter and just absolute JOY!

After one of the last photos of the evening, I was talking to one of Greg’s sisters who had shared with me that a lot of her wedding photos were lost by their photographer (yikes), and I went on to share how Tony and I don’t enjoy our wedding photos.  After that conversation, I yelled to Greg’s mom and sister, “Well, I’m the Boerio family photographer now!!”  Yup, I was that comfortable with them to just insert myself into their lives!  We all laughed after I said that!  🙂  I LOVE MY JOB!  I love getting to know my couples and their families!

Bri & Greg – Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day!  Can’t wait to see all that the future holds for you two, and I hope we’re there to capture all those moments!

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding photos.

Here’s something cool – Bri & Greg asked me to join them at the rehearsal to grab some city photos of them because they knew we wouldn’t have time to do this the day of the wedding.  It was a great chance for me to meet everyone beforehand and get to know how the ceremony would be run.  We had time for a few photos in the Strip District.

I love being able to capture emotion during wedding day.  Just pure emotion and nothing contrived.   These are Greg’s parents after his mom lit the unity candle with Bri’s mom.199

This may seem like a strange ceremony photo for the blog post but I loved the private and intimate nature of this photo.261

After the family and traditional bridal party photos at the church, I always love to spend a few minutes with the couple doing some additional photos inside the church.  Isn’t this church gorgeous?!?  St A's Church in Westview PA wedding photoSt A's Church in Westview PA wedding photoSt A's Church in Westview PA wedding photo

This boudoir photo shoot was months in the making.  I found this location and I knew I needed to use it for a boudoir photo shoot and I knew the perfect person to be my “model” – she was simply perfection during her first shoot with me.

It worked out as perfect as I had imagined!  This type of boudoir is no for everyone and is something completely different from my other work.  I love to push my limits in my photography and trying new things is going to keep me fresh and passionate about this job!

I found this abandoned building in April and knew it would be a perfect spot for an outdoor boudoir because it’s quite secluded!  I really enjoyed this photo shoot and am excited to share some of the photos with you.

If you are interested in an outdoor boudoir session or want to do something more edgy, please mention that to me upon booking.  You can also add this information to the pre-session questionnaire!

If you want something different, we can make that happen!

We spent a good amount of time inside the building but did get outside to get some of the nice sunlight!  Love these “disco shorts” 🙂
