over the years i've stopped being a generalist photographer who photographs everything under the sun to just what i TRULY love. i've learned to cut out what i really didn't enjoy so i didn't put my full heart into it, to what i just can't get enough of. i've become a specialist, and it sounds totally crazy to say that, of natural, real and happy images. eventually, i'd like to focus that down even more to almost exclusively boudoir and seniors! i LOVE boudoir sessions and helping women bring out their sassy, sexy, beautiful self that maybe they've pushed to the side to raise children. or maybe they've lost 50 pounds and want to celebrate. sometimes, it's to celebrate getting through a tough time in their lives. sometimes, it's just as a gift for their man (although the confidence boost they receive is a good bonus!). whatever the reason, i. love. them.
for the girls, boudoir sessions are also SO much fun! when else do you get to get all dolled up, strip for someone who is probably a total stranger and pose in your sexiest clothes and lingerie? ;) after the first five minutes of 'oh-my-gosh-am-i-really-doing-this?!' you'll be rocking out like you were born to be a boudoir model. i promise! you can always bring a friend, too (and make them do their own session!) if that helps ease any worries.
the session is between 30 and 45 minutes in a hotel room (I only tell the girls who are doing the sessions which hotel and room number), I have a professional stylist there so you can get professionally beautified, and I help with every step of posing. You bring your own outfits (the more the better, and the more variety the better!) and I help put things together. I have a pinterest board with some outfits already put together, so you can get a general idea of themes/what works/etc. for full marathons, ask about the referral program where you could earn $10 per girl you refer!
want to do a session with JUST your friends? well, then do i have a deal for you! Presque Isle area parties are available any time! it works the same as a marathon, but all the girls are already your friends! think of it as a grown up slumber party.. you can even bring wine ;) the hostess gets special incentives the more girls she brings, so start thinking of all your girls who would love some sexy and beautiful photos of themselves! parties can be done with as few as three girls, but there will be an extra cost; normal pricing starts at five girls.
there are a few options to fit every diva's wants and desires. and of course they're named after some classic pin-up models! every packages include professionally done hair+make-up, the session time and a dvd of edited images.
the bettie also includes a mini accordion album - $125
the veronica includes a $50 print credit towards a print/album order - $175
the marilyn inclues a $100 print credit towards an order - $225
