Boudoir Photography

Boudoir photography is so much fun!  The creative possibilities are endless.  The first step is ensuring your model is comfortable with you and that you provide a warm environment, which can be difficult during this seemingly endless bitter cold February in Cincinnati!  I recently did a photo shoot with my Model, Christy, and we clicked (no pun intended), which put her at ease.  For this first photo, I had the idea of wrapping her in cellophane.  We weren’t sure at first how the photos would turn out, because I wrapped her a little too tight, but I think it’s cute!

This is Christy’s favorite photo.  Doesn’t she have beautiful hair?

I’ve had a difficult time finding a willing subject for this type of shoot.  Most women feel that they need to lose a few pounds and feel they have to be perfect, and often think they’re too old.  Christy is in her mid-30’s and looks great!

We were both on the same page as far as the over all “look” we were trying to achieve…sexy, fun, and tasteful!

I recently set up an at home photography studio, with used lighting and backdrops and took photos of a special woman named Christy!

I’ve been pinning modeling poses to my Pinterest board and used a few of them for her session…

I love taking photographs of people and letting them see their special beauty…

She wanted some “corporate” photos and I especially liked this one (even though she thinks it looks like she’s chewing on the pencil)…a sexy executive look!

My husband and I decided to stay in tonight…(it’s too cold) by the warm fire!  He’s preparing a steak dinner…I’m fortunate to have him.  Sending all of you a hug! xoxo

 

 

Model Shoot at PhotoPro Expo – 2015; Cincinnati, Ohio

The PhotoPro Expo- 2015, held at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, is filled with exhibits for every level of photographer!  I spent three hours talking with professional photographers, mostly surrounding lighting options, listened to a couple of short presentations about portrait posing and lighting, and taking photographs of a few models that were available for photo shoots.  Arriving when it first opened at 11am yesterday, I made my way to the Beach Party models and began shooting.  They were quite stiff and awkward with their initial poses, so I developed a rapport with them and gave suggestions for posing.

They really livened up!  I asked the young lady to hop on the young man’s back…

next, suggested she put the inflatable ring on and turn around…
