....Mmmmmm chocolate....

I am not into long posts, besides I think this one just speaks for itself right? I hope your doing something to treat yourself for valentines day even if your single get out and be nice to yourself =)

Ba Ba Boudoir Baby!

 Boudoir is becoming increasingly popular in the valley, and lucky for me I love to photograph boudoir sessions. Boudoir is thought of by some as perhaps a little taboo, but the feel that I try to portray in my boudoir sessions is classy, romantic and fun.

Take lovely Sky here for example, we had an amazing time at her shoot and each shoot is styled and themed according to what your looking for. Each of my boudoir shoots is also styled with hair and makeup by my fabulous hair and makeup artist Hannah Coulter. This is all part of your 3 hour session.

When your session is complete, and I take your photos back to the "lab" I hand pick the best of the best and then begin my journey of creating a beautiful album for your special someone. Ladies keep in mind though, and I hear this time and time again that this is not only for your significant other, but more times that not it is for youself. I know that this kind of shoot can be intimidating but I do my best to make you feel at ease and now I am fully equiped with a natural light studio and commercial studio to better be able to serve the needs of all my ladies looking for specific types of boudoir sessions. Oh and did I mention there is wine?

. . . Sexy, Fun, & Freezing . . .

Let me start out by saying that we had quite the adventure the day of our shoot. Meet Jenessa.... I vibrant young woman with enough adventure in her soul to pretty much trust whatever I said, and let me tell you that takes some guts... LOL! The day of our shoot it had to be in the low 40's or upper 30's, lets just say it was FREEZING!!!! Jenessa agreed to do an outdoor Bourdoir shoot ( I had to beg a little ) because I had just simply been longing to shoot a Boudoir outdoors. We arrived at our first destination and hauled a changing tent, ladder, bags and bags, all different angel wings, cameras and more, but the one thing we needed the most we didn't have A HEATER!

Let me go back a bit, Jenessa's morning actually started out with her undergoing her makeover for almost 2 hours by Hannah and Tina two very lovely ladies at Elements Salon. Then from there I picked her up and wisked her off for her day of freezing torture! (love ya Janessa!)

Back to the scene, so as I am running through the usually routine of running, freezing, yelling, laughing, squating, shiverring (oh did I mention we had not even had any wine yet) here comes good ole mister Sherrif ready to comb the area for any "body" in the area that shouldnt be there.

 

 

 When I saw him coming I couldn't stop laughing because by this time Jenessa was running around in a freezing field near a freezing pond in her bra and underwear, yes that is right, just a bra and underwear- minus the wings you see above. I was so giddy having such a blast thinking about what I might have to explain the to Sheriff if they stopped.... luckily they didnt! So we kept shooting our freezing booties off!

 

 

Once we were frozen to the core we ran back to the car and zipped off to our next location! I think we were high on frozen southern oregon mist because we couldnt not stop laughing, maybe it was because we were heading towards a blissful state of hypothermia, I dont know. Needless to say I had an amazing time with Jenessa and cant wait to finish her pictures. We had a 3 part (locations) shoot that day and I must say I do prefer shooting even the Boudoirs outdoors over the indoor studio, but each setting provides a different look or feel for your shoot. Until wrap up time, I hope you enjoy this preview Jenssa and thanks for being such a wonderful sport!
