Emilee and Luke’s wedding blog post is here and I’m excited to share these photos with you.  What a lovely and special day these two high school sweethearts shared in July.  I was honored to be a part of their day!

Just look at this beauty of a dress.  It was so perfect for Emilee!

Well, it was hot on their wedding.  And when I mean hot, I mean hotter than hot!  So, we opted to stay in the church a little longer to get some extra photos before braving the heat.227st cecilia's rochester wedding photost cecilia's rochester wedding photo

Our next stop was Rochester High School where these sweethearts went to school.  This photo was something Emilee wanted to do.  baseball themed wedding photo, high school wedding photo, pics by chicks photography, pittsburgh wedding photography, beaver county wedding photographer, beaver county wedding photography250

MARY!  MARY!!!  What great senior photo shoot!  I can’t even begin to explain the fun and laughs we had during her shoot.  I love that my photography gets me in touch with people like Mary.  She was incredibly sweet, kind and so energetic.  She told me that she enjoyed exchanging emails with me but was a little nervous to meet me.  Well, we clicked immediately and had a blast during her session.

Mary, thanks so much for the honor of being your photographer!  It has been such a pleasure to work with you and I am so excited for you to begin your senior year!  You’ve got a bright future ahead of you and I can’t see all that awaits you!  Can’t wait until you are in front of my camera again! 🙂

Boudoir Tips – What Not to Do for your Boudoir Photo Shoot

Something very important to discuss in planning your boudoir photo shoot is what NOT to do.  Yes, there are things you shouldn’t here and I’m here to highlight just a few of those for you.  I have separate blog posts about Pinterest and spray tans but these are general items you should consider avoiding.

What Not to Do for your boudoir photo shoot - Boudoir Photo Shoot Planning Tips & Tricks - Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer Pics By Chicks Photography

Don’t show up with chipped nail polish

Nope, this can’t be edited out of the photos.  If you want painted nails, make sure the coat is fresh and looks great.  Your hands and nails will be in the photos so it’s important to take care of them prior to your photo shoot.

Don’t wear tight clothes to your session

You want to wear loose clothing the day of your session.  Tight clothes can leave marks on your body – think sock lines!  Some photographers can attempt to take out these lines others won’t.  I am from the mindset that I try to do everything possible prior to the photo shoot so that the editing like this is limited.  Also, wear a shirt that is button down or zip up – don’t want to ruin the hair and makeup by pulling something over your head.

Don’t show up without having tried your lingerie on

This sounds obvious, right?  But, it happens.  Do not assume that the outfits you purchase will fit.  Make sure you try them on before your session – they should fit appropriately and allow for some movement.  There’s nothing worse than arriving for your session to find that your lingerie does not fit properly.

No spray tan or bronzing lotion

I created a whole blog post on this but no spray tans.  Spray tans and bronzing lotion can have an orange tint.  This cannot be taken out of the photos.

Anything else you wouldn’t do for your boudoir photo shoot?  Leave your comments below.

Ah, Tricia and Ben.  An amazing couple that I have been so honored to work with.  From the moment you meet them, you feel like their friends.  But, even more special is that I felt like family during their wedding.  Tricia is an amazing woman who is the kindest and sweetest woman – she loves her family and loves her new husband – and that love was so apparent during her wedding day.  There were many moments throughout the day where Tricia got emotional just because she was so excited to marry the man of her dreams!  So many touching moments from beginning to end and my heart is so full of love when I think about this wonderful couple.

Here are just a few preview photos from their day on Saturday – it was perfect from beginning to end!  I can’t wait to really get into their photos to look at the magic that was their wedding.  Thank you Tricia and Ben for letting us be a part of your day!

This was their “boy band pose” – it was all their idea!

I was told that if I put this photo on my website that I would make a million dollars.  I’ll let you boys know when the money starts rolling in!fun guys wedding pose

Tricia’s mom was present throughout the day.  Tricia wore her mother’s veil, which has survived 30 years!  pittsburgh wedding photographer

Boudoir – The Sweater

Boudoir Photographer Pittsburgh provided by Pics By Chicks Photography.  Maura provides women with a unique experience to radiate their beauty thru amazing and stunning images.  Details on our boudoir package, including pricing, can be found by clicking here.  Our website has all the details on the cost and what’s included in the boudoir session.

Please note –

All images shared with permission.

Ah, the sweater.  Clients can often overlook the use of very simple items in their boudoir photo shoot.  I sometimes find that these types of items can give a relaxed and sexy appeal to the photos.  With the fabulous styling and posing, a simple little sweater can be made into a sexy lingerie item – who knew?!?  Well, I did.  haha.

When thinking about outfits for your boudoir session, keep in mind items like this.  Modest pieces can work really well for shy girls too – if you start with this kind of outfit, it relaxes you…then BAM!  You’re ready to go with some super sexy lingerie.  Other modest pieces to use for your session – leg warmers.  I’m not talking about the 1980s Jane Fonda leg warmers but some modern chunky leg warmers or knee highs – they would go perfectly with a sweater like this.

Enjoy some blog appropriate photos featuring a recent client with an awesome sweater!

The next photo is probably my favorite from her session.  When I pulled it down over her shoulder, I yelled, “Oh, hello there, Flashdance!”  Another 1980s reference in this blog post!boudoir photography pittsburgh, boudoir photography sewickley, boudoir photography beaver county, boudoir photographer beaver county, boudoir photographer pittsburgh
