Mrs. G (North Dallas Boudoir Photography Session)

Every now and then, I’m asked to step out of my comfort zone and try new styles of photography.  Mrs. G is a super creative mind and, looking at various photography styles, asked if I would try to do a bit of a darker photo with a single light source for a segment of her session.  While this made me a little nervous (as everything looked way underexposed), she reassured me that this was what she was wanting when I showed her the back of the camera.  So… I went with it and am SUPER glad I did.  I think this last part of her session turned out AWESOME and will probably try to do more of this in future boudoir sessions.   Thank you, Mrs. G, for asking me to take a risk AND for letting me share your boudoir photos!

Mrs. D (North Dallas Area Boudoir Photography Session)

Mrs. D brought one of the most unique pieces of lingerie I’ve ever had the opportunity to photograph: a bra made out of Crown Royal bags … that she MADE HERSELF!  How creative is that?  Crown Royal bags were chosen, as that is her husband’s favorite drink.  Another boudoir set that was representative of her husband was stealing his guitar for the afternoon (he actually called during the session confessing “I’m not in a panic, YET, but… do you know where my guitar is?!”) Of course, those two sets were his favorite shots of the day!  Here is a sneak peek at Mrs. D’s Boudoir Photography Session in North Dallas:

Thank you, Mrs. D, for letting me share your Boudoir Photography Session!

Mrs. W (Dallas Boudoir Photography)

One of the best things about Boudoir photography is the EXCITEMENT that comes with every session: Excitement preparing for the shoot with outfits and props; Excitement during the actual session with the butterflies of nerves; and Excitement to finally hand that Little Black Book to your husband.  Mrs. W was so excited about her Little Black Book that instead of giving the book to her husband for his birthday (in the middle of the holiday season), she gave it to him for their anniversary (June).  That is almost six months before she intended to!  This kind of excitement just makes me giddy.  Of course, I’m ALSO excited to share her photos.  Here is a sneak peek at one of her sets:

Thank you, Mrs. W, for letting me share your Boudoir Photographs!

Mrs. R (Dallas Boudoir Photography)

Mrs. R spends most of her time outdoors: in the sun, in the pool, or in her garden.  With this in mind, most of her boudoir session was photographed outside, as that made her shoot more reflective of her and her passions.  Although Mrs. R was quite nervous about her shoot (to the point I thought she may even back out last minute), her photos radiate her strength and beauty.  Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone during your session and for letting me share a few of your Boudoir photos.

I believe every time someone steps outside of their comfort zone, they are empowered.  Thank you, Mrs. R, for stepping outside of your comfort zone.  I hope you were able to experience the self confidence that comes with every adventure lived outside of the comfort zone.

Happy Independence Day, USA! (Dallas Boudoir Photography)

Happy Independence Day!  I hope everyone is enjoying the beach/pool/river on this great day in July.  Tonight, I’ll be celebrating the holiday with my family at a BBQ outing.  Before that, I wanted to share these awesome photos that represent what the holiday is all about: the troops giving their time, energy and even their lives to keep our Freedom.  Going hand in hand with that are the families who share their loved ones with the armed services and have to go it alone here in the States.  Thank you, troops and family, for everything you give to keep us free.

” I Always Thank GOD for You.”

Mrs. R (Austin, TX Boudoir Photography)

Every now and then, I get a client who loves Black and White Photography.  Well, SO DO I!!!  It makes my heart smile to turn boudoir photos to black and white.  I believe black and white photos are classic and timeless.  They also help (in my opinion) focus the eye to the main subject, as it is no longer distracted by colors.

Mrs. R wanted a “Little Black Book” of Boudoir photographs to give her husband for Father’s Day and is kind enough to let me share a small segment of her photos with you.  This mother of two is absolutely Radiant and totally rocked it at her shoot (we also may have been totally rocking it out to Lady GaGa during her session).

Yes, while I do love black and white photographs, some insist on staying in color (especially with those eyes!).

Thank you, Mrs. R, for letting me share your Boudoir Photography Session!

Giddy about School Supplies (props for boudoir photography)

As a little girl, my favorite part of the school year (besides summer) was picking out my school supplies!  My mother probably got tired of taking me each year, since I wanted to look at EVERYTHING, but at least I was excited about the start of the school year!  I still enjoy shopping for school supplies (yes, you can call them office supplies, if you wish) and got absolutely giddy when I went to Office Depot to buy some needed photography supplies.  Luckily, my husband was there to keep me focused at the task at hand and I didn’t buy anything but the foam board.  This is a great reflector and we painted the back side black (yes, the favor was returned when Dylan was released in Home Depot for the black paint).  Black backgrounds help with boudoir photography, as it blends the shadows of the person into the photograph.  If you cannot tell where the body ends and the background begins, it slims the subject of the photograph.  Nifty, huh?  Here is an example:

Boudoir Party (Dallas Boudoir Photography)

Last weekend, I had an absolute BLAST shooting a full weekend of Boudoir Photography Sessions in Dallas!  The ladies were stunning in every way and really embodied what I love about my job: making women feel beautiful and enjoy life as it is!  The only down side is that I now feel the urge to run, run, run as they ALL have better legs than I do.  Here’s Proof:

The rest of their Boudoir sessions will be posted – don’t worry.  This is just a sneak peek!

New Heels for Boudoir Photography Sessions

I don’t have a huge prop bag, as I want every shoot to reflect the lady in the shoot and her personality.  It would be boring if every lady wore the same outfits and all had on the same props, which is why I highly encourage women considering a boudoir photography shoot to bring props that represent them or their spouse’s interests (as a side note, this past weekend, I shot a Boudoir Marathon: 5 ladies in one weekend.  FUN!  FUN!  FUN!  One of the ladies at the shoot MADE a bra out of crown royal bags, her husband’s favorite adult drink.  It was insanely cute and creative and I cannot wait to share it with you!  All that to say: bring props that reflect you or your partner’s interests!).

I do, however, bring a few pairs of high heels (Size 8) with me to every shoot.  They are absolutely necessary for any boudoir session.  Here is a quick sample of the latest two additions to the collection:

Enjoy,

Mrs. T (Dallas Boudoir Photography)

I feel like I’ve been shooting more outside of Austin, lately, than I have IN Austin, which is very exciting!  Mrs. T was so lively and really brought it on the variety of outfits!  That is something that adds so much personality and variety to each Boudoir session.

As a newlywed, she wanted to do a bridal themed photography shoot.  You can see the “something blue” she wore on her wedding day and her wedding viel wrapped around her in this photo:

Also on the Top ten list of what to bring to your boudoir photo shoot is your wedding ring.

This is why the more detail a lingerie piece has, the better:

For her “something to represent her husband,” she went with a referee-themed outfit.  What you cannot see up top is a fitted jersey of her husband’s favorite basketball team.

This last one was taken in the kitchen, wearing only an apron and high heels.

Thank you, Mrs. T, for letting me share your photos and for giving other ladies a few ideas of the possibilities for their own Boudoir Photography Session.
