I always love transformations. If you’ve ready my blog, you know that the transformation experienced during these boudoir photo shoots goes well beyond the hair and makeup. Yes, that’s part of your pampering and prep for the photo shoot but I’ve seen so many amazing women come thru the door who are a little timid and shy. But, by the first 5 minutes of their shoot, they are walking around with some new confidence and new sense of themselves. Sometimes it’s hard to see your own beauty and I want to bring out your radiant self during the photo shoot. I love being able to see this transformation first hand – it’s something I have a hard time putting into words. I love this job and I have so much joy watching all this happen.

Women are beautiful and should be celebrated!

Potential clients always love to see before and afters, so here’s one for you. Beautiful before, beautiful after! 🙂

Lauren + Kevin = Perfection!

I’ve known Lauren for years and the thing that immediately struck me as I looked thru their engagement photos the first time was how genuinely happy and in love she is with Kevin! They live in South Side now and opted for a city shoot for their engagement session. I love city shoots – there are so many interesting places throughout the city. And, if I felt Kevin would have lasted longer, I probably could have taken photos for another hour or so! 😉

We started with a quick walk on their street and next to this cool wall. (Apparently, it’s only purpose is to hide an electric tower)

When I saw this brick with some weeds growing out of it, I knew I needed to use it for their photos. This is something others probably just walk past and ignore but the photographer in me jumped at the chance to use the wall! We will likely use the same wall for a few wedding photos.

We then walked to the Hot Metal Bridge. YES! I loved the bridge and all the cool architecture! Another great spot for a few wedding photos.

Lauren’s ring is gorgeous! 009

Love is such a wonderful thing and I’m so lucky to be able to capture the feeling of my couples!

They laugh .. a lot! <3

Let’s not forget to mention how stunningly beautiful Lauren is … and those eyes!

Can’t wait for their wedding next year – it’s going to be a perfect celebration of their life and I’m so happy and excited to be a part of it.

Adrienne & Mark are the perfect couple! They are a true match for each other and every since our first meeting together I had a connection with them. I left our first meeting hoping and praying they would book with me and I immediately though I’d be devastated if they went with someone else. As soon as I arrived home, I got an email saying they wanted me. I wrote back saying, “Thank goodness because you’d be stuck with me even if you didn’t!” The fun has ensued ever since and at every meeting or email we just laughed together! They make me smile .. but more importantly, they make each other smile.

I love to see love between my couples and Adrienne and Mark have something special!

Here are just a few photos from their wedding as a quick preview. Can’t wait to take a look at everything, while the newlyweds are enjoying their fabulous honeymoon!

Loved mom’s reaction after the veil was in place!

Today’s Matrimony Monday post is about shoes! We have to talk shoes, ladies! Over the past several months of our weddings I’ve noticed something that I’d really like to address.

I love shoes. I used to have a shoe obsession that took quite some time to break.

I love wedding shoes. The more glitz, the better! I love all those sparkles and colors – my camera loves them too. I love walking into the bride’s room to see those gorgeous shoes waiting for me!

Here’s the problem. I have had some brides who ended their portraits early because 1) their feet hurt; 2) they didn’t want to walk into the grass and sink into the ground. Yes, portraits were ended because of shoe issues. Fine by me – I work for my couples – and if they want to stop, then we stop.

Here’s the truth. Most wedding shoes are completely uncomfortable. I couldn’t imagine wearing my wedding shoes for 8-10 hours! And, while we love the glitz, we need to be practical about our footwear on wedding day. Reason being during your bridal portraits you’re going to be walking around a little and you want to be comfortable so that we can get the shots we need. Want to get in the grass or head into a field? It helps to have comfortable shoes

Here’s my advice. Wear those gorgeous shoes for your ceremony and maybe even your reception, but slip on some comfortable shoes for your bridal portraits. It will make everything so much easier for you. I’ve had some brides that slip on Toms for

Gorgeous and sexy heels for your ceremony, practical and comfortable for your portraits!

I love my job! I wake up each day excited to start the day and the beauty that ensues in my shooting and editing! I love being a boudoir photographer – it’s the greatest joy of my life. And, it’s OK for me to say that because I don’t have kids! haha. I love how connected I get with my clients and that really helps them to be able to relax as soon as the shoot starts. Most people are nervous as the step in the studio but I always hear that those nerves don’t last too long. I pride myself on getting you to open up, as it only makes the experience better for all of us! I’ve had my own boudoir photo shoot done so I know what it’s like for you, so my goal is to get you to relax and let me help you celebrate who you are with some amazing images!

Let’s go – boudoir is my passion and my speciality and you’re in the best hands possible! 🙂
