M is getting married in Jamaica in July and commissioned a boudoir session. She was the first to be in my new studio location and I am thrilled at how natural and beautiful the light stays all day. These two that she gave me permission to post are treated to look funky… but we got an entire slew of really natural, fresh images I am sure he will love!

Hey guys! I’ll have a hotel room on July 11 somewhere between Hartford CT and Greenwich CT  (NY border) area. If you’d like to book a boudoir session at group rates on Friday, July 11 or the morning of Saturday, July 12, please contact me ASAP!

Another current promo is for girls who want the privacy and attention of an individual session but want a bit of savings, I am offering the group rate ($50 off individual session rate) to anyone who wants to do a boudoir session in their own house or apartment.

Common complaints are: “I don’t know how I would do it without him finding out” and of course “my house is too messy/ not photogenic” — to which I answer that I can make magic happen in just about any space. We need a bed and couch, and a window. That’s it! I bring in studio background equipment and the skill to make the most mediocre place look like a studio. And we schedule when he’s at work and leave the place looking just like it was before. There’s something special about using your own familiar space for something like a boudoir session. To prove it, we’re giving the group rate on a limited basis for in-home sessions.

Rachel,

I just went through my album and I am SO HAPPY with how it turned out!!  I think the pictures all look amazing.  It was exactly the amount of sexiness and class that I was going for.  The album quality is really great! Everything you have done was beyond my expectations.  I am so impressed with you and your work, and I will recommend you to anyone I know!

Thanks again for a really great experience!  I can’t wait to give this gift to [him].  I know he will absolutely love it!

Love,
D

Hi everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that I will be out of state for a few days for my first visit to Wisconsin. Today I am flying into Appleton to visit another photographer friend who has commissioned me to do my first “destination boudoir” session. (That idea makes me giggle a little.) I’ll also be shooting a wedding with Amy and doing some family portraits. It’s a great honor to be chosen by another photographer.

Back in Boston on Tuesday!

Umm… I love this photo of Tricia from right before our boudoir session yesterday. I processed it to look like a funky old film slide. Rawr!

Tricia and I just finished up another weekend full of boudoir sessions. We photographed some beautiful and sexy women and had so much fun doing it. Each time we do these sessions it gets more and more fun for us.

Thanks for being brave, wonderful models ladies. We can’t wait to hear what he says!

I love watching the work of my wedding photographer friends around the world.

Are you ready for this? OC photographer Sarah K Chen first posted about these shoes and inspired Serena Grace to get some for her own wedding (as photographed by Mark Brooke above). They come in cream and red and some other crazy colors and I really can’t wait until one of my hot little brides wears them for a bridal, boudoir, or engagement session. You can get them from Endless and some colors are now on sale! Luichiny shoes are wonderful.
