Boudoir Basics - tips for getting the most out of your boudoir session
I shoot a lot of boudoir sessions - most of which you'll never see, out of respect for my client's privacy. To help these lovely ladies get the most from their shoots, I've created a tip sheet to help them prepare. Here are a few highlights!
PREPARE
- Take care of any hair removal prior to the shoot.
- Avoid the sun for a few days before the shoot (sun burn is not a flattering look for anyone!) If you want that sun kissed look, use a self tanner or get a spray tan.
- For great looking skin,do a full body exfoliation and follow up with a good moisturizer.
- Get a mani and pedi so your fingers and toes look extra pretty.
- Drink plenty of water, both on the day of the shoot and the day before.
- Leave yourself plenty of time to get to the shoot. If you’re running late and feeling stressed, it shows on your face!
- Have a light snack prior ot the shoot to avoid the crankies, but don't eat a big meal.
- Make sure all your clothing and props are clean and in good condition. Clothing should fit well and flatter your figure. Remove all the tags so they don’t show in the photos.
- Come with clean hair and a clean face to give the stylist a blank canvas. She’ll discuss your style with you and come up with a look that’s sexy and flattering.
BRING
- A comfy robe to wear during hair & make-up. This will also prevent unflattering marks on your skin from more fitted clothing.
- A great pair of heels (or a few!) Heels give you better posture, so bring at least one pair of basic black and, if you like, a few colorful pairs to go with some of our outfits. Boots are also a fun option!
- Your wardrobe choices (see the suggestions below).
- A good body moisturizer.
- Any photos you might want to emulate.
- Most importantly, your sassy self-confidence!
CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS
* His favorite team sweatshirt or jersey
* His favorite shirt (and necktie)
* An evening dress
* An off the shoulder top
* Fuzzy sweater
* Hats and gloves
* Stockings
* Anything sheer, transparent, or clingy
* Boy Shorts
* Colorful panties and bra
* short shorts
* Lingerie
* Anything that he gave you - guys love to see that you love their gifts!
* colorful bath towel (to wrap you in!)
* fitted tank tops or tiny t-shirts
* Leather anything
* Mini Skirt
* Scarves (as an outfit!)
* Boxer shorts
* Something funny or a special Halloween costume
* Flowers/flower petals
* Sun glasses
* Strands of beads or pearls
* jewelry to dress up your looks
* hats
* feather boas
* bubble bath if you want to do a tub shot
Be creative! Think about it from his perspective as you make your decisions. After all, this is a present for him, so imagine what he would prefer as you go through the closet.

FAQ
Time for a long overdue update of the FAQ!
Why is it important to meet with a potential photographer before you book them? (I get this a lot when I suggest the importance of scheduling a consultation.)
You spend a ton of time on your wedding day with your photographer. It's important to choose someone who you can relate to and enjoy being around! If you're comfortable with your photographer, you'll be more comfortable in front of the camera and it will show in your photos.
What style of photography do you do?
In addition to the traditional posed portraits I document your wedding day as it unfolds. From the smallest detail to the strongest emotion, I strive to capture it all.
Do you shoot film or digital? What kind of equipment do you use?
I'm a 100% digital girl and shoot with professional grade Canon equipment. Many pros shoot with Nikon equipment and I equate the Canon vs. Nikon debate with the Coke vs. Pepsi debate. Both are good, it's simply a matter of personal preference.
Can I view an entire wedding’s gallery or two?
Absolutely! I think that this is critical when selecting your wedding photographer. Viewing an entire wedding from beginning to end gives you a sense of what I present to my couples. Shoot me an email and I'll send you the access code for some complete galleries.
You do a lot of travel, how does that affect your weddings?
The short answer: it doesn't! The long answer: If I have a wedding booked, I'll turn down a travel job if it occurs during the same time (been there, done that, never regretted it!) Airplanes are great for editing, so I'll take a set of images with me to edit on the road (leaving several backup copies at home, of course!) Lastly, I may not always have the best phone service or email access when I travel, but I return all messages as soon as I can while I'm on the road (and I've always got an auto-reply and a blog post so you know when I'll be back).
When are payments due?
A signed contract and a retainer are required to reserve your date. The balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding.
How do I pay?
Credit card, personal check, and cash are accepted.
It seems to be a lot of money for some photographs.
Long after the flowers wilt and the food is eaten, photos are the one tangible reminder of your wedding day. In addition to the 6-10 hours I spend photographing your wedding day, I spend numerous hours after the wedding editing through the images I shoot and then color correcting and retouching them as needed. There's a lot more that goes into photographing a wedding than most people realize.
Are you insured?
Absolutely! This is an important one. If your photographer inadvertently causes damage at your wedding venue, s/he ought to have liability insurance to take care of things. In fact, your wedding venue may require liability insurance of any outside vendor that you hire.
Do you have back-up equipment?
Another very important question! I bring back-up equipment with me to each wedding. If, in the unlikely event that my camera were to stop working, I have a spare with me at all times. The same goes for all of my equipment.
What if something happens and you can’t be at my wedding for some reason?
This has never happened (knock wood!) but should something happen to me, I'd do everything in my power to find a suitable replacement photographer (I have a great network of local photographer friends) who would then be approved by the couple. My contract states that there is the option to refuse the new photographer and be granted a 100% refund of all monies paid.
What if I require services not included in the options?
Just ask! In most cases your request can be accommodated.
Will you be the actual photographer on my wedding day?
Yes! I do not subcontract my weddings out to other photographers. If you book your wedding with me, I will be there photographing your day. For all weddings, I also utilize a secondary photographer to provide complete coverage.
How do we know exactly what to expect from you?
You can expect professionalism mixed with fun! I'm hard working, yet easy going and I give it my all to capture the beauty of your wedding day. The images you see on my web site and my blog are a representation of the style of images you can expect to see.
What area do you cover? Do you charge travel fees?
Have camera, will travel! I'm based in central Florida, but will gladly travel anywhere! Please inquire for specific pricing regarding Destination Weddings.
How many photographs will you take?
A lot. Honestly, there is no easy answer to this one, it really depends! After the wedding, I edit the images down and show you the best which tell the story of your wedding day.
Do you retouch the photographs?
Each image I present to you is inspected, color corrected, and exposure balanced if needed. Images that are ordered (either as prints or in an album) will be treated to basic retouching. Specific retouching requests can also be made.
Can we request specific shots?
Absolutely. I even provide you with a list of suggested shots to get your brain working. It's also very important to have a specific list of formal family portraits that you would like taken on the wedding day. This helps the photography process and really the whole day, flow much more smoothly!
Are there extra fees for multiple locations?
No. You book me for a fixed length of time and we can cover as many (or as few) locations as you like during that time!
How soon will the photographs be ready?
I try to get a few teaser images on my blog within 48 hours of the wedding. Your online viewing gallery will be available within 4 weeks from your wedding. Prints take 2-3 weeks and album creation takes 6-10 weeks.
Can you provide black and white images?
Yes, black and white and sepia toned images are available.
What do you wear to the wedding?
Generally I wear a black pants and a dressy black blouse, but this depends somewhat on the wedding. If you're having a black tie affair, just let me know and I'm happy to dress accordingly!
Got questions you don't see answered here? I'm but an email (or a phone call) away!

OpLove - the D family
I had entirely too much fun photographing the D family recently! Dad Jeremy is in the army and will be deploying next month, so when mom Rachel called me to schedule an OpLove session I was only too happy to oblige! If you're not familiar with OpLove, it's a great non-profit organization that provides free photo sessions to military families who have a member deploying.
Sweet light and so cute - one of my favorites!
Little Ms. M
Mr. M was a bundle of energy!
We did the session at the beautiful Blue Spring State Park. I'd never been there before and can't wait to go back in the winter and see the manatees!
Thanks so much for a fun session you guys and Jeremy, thanks so much for all that you do for our country!

2007: That's all she wrote!
That's right gang, there's no more availability for the rest of 2007! As I mentioned earlier, session fees for portraits (which includes engagement sessions, bridal portraits, and trash the dress) are increasing January 1, 2008, but if you reserve your 2008 session prior to December 15, 2008, I'll honor the 2007 price!
Also worth noting is that there's one space left for the January 12, 2008 boudoir bash.

Maggie & Chris Trashed the Dress!
I had the pleasure of photographing Maggie & Chris' engagement photos last spring and was thrilled when Maggie contacted saying they wanted to do a trash the dress session. We headed over to beautiful Wekiwa Springs (where Chris had proposed) and spent the morning splashing around.
First we did a few quick dry shots on land...
I love this one!
then the real fun started...everyone knows you just gotta jump right in!
It was a little chilly, but they were troopers!
Thanks for a great shoot you two! Your gallery will be posted soon.

Think Pink!
I'm excited to announce a new partnership with Think Pink Photography. Founded in October 2007 by Ohio Photographer, Tennille King, Think Pink Photography strives to help breast cancer survivors and their families celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. This is a cause that's near and dear to my heart as my grandmother passed away from breast cancer related complications back in 1993.Individuals may choose to document their fight against the disease before or during treatment, or prefer to capture their victory with a session after treatment is completed. Photographers world-wide are now available to donate time and talent to celebrate life and support the cause. Any individual that has been diagnosed with breast cancer or completed treatment within the past 12 months qualifies for a Think Pink session. There is no cost or obligation to the breast cancer patient.
Clients participating in a Think Pink Session will receive a complimentary photo session, as well as 20 finished prints from the session. They will also receive a discount off of any additional portraits they wish to purchase, although there is absolutely no purchase required at any time.
Think Pink Photography is a non-profit organization. Any profits Think Pink Photography receives through donations or various fund raising efforts are donated to the Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation - a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and assistance to families that have been touched by breast cancer.
I am very proud to be one of the first photographers with Think Pink Photography, and am eager to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Think Pink Photography website.
