Powder Sessions

admin — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 04:15:47 +0000

I like to think of myself as an artist. Pin-up, glamour, and bombshell are totally fun … I just like to show my artistic side!

I’ve been inspired lately with a new idea. Introducing the powder sessions! I’m excited to offer this to everyone. Don’t worry I’ll bring the powder.

How to Look Good Naked

A woman’s dress should be like a barbwire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
Sophia Loren

Yes, I’m the wife of my very talented and humble professional photographer husband who “takes pictures” for a living. My favorite is when I’m eating dinner with his family while he’s busy on a shoot and they ask, “What kind of shoot is it?” They’re pretty conservative folks so I save them the drama and usually reply, “Oh, it’s a personal shoot.” I’m not sure what that means but they leave it at that.

But I think his work is wonderful. I especially enjoy meeting his new clients, watching their relationship grow and trust build up before the shoot, and then seeing the amazing images afterwords. Boudoir photography is where his skill as a sculptor of light and his ability to SEE really shines. I have yet to see a woman come through his studio without producing some really stunning images.

His artistic and technical skill aside there is something to be said for his clients. A HUGE something. I’ve been trying to put my finger on what makes them special and so beautiful during these shoots, which has inspired this post:

How to Look Good Naked

Confidence. The whole thing has to be nerve wracking, I know. Here you are, in your skivvies, inexperienced as a model, and there’s a CAMERA pointing straight at you? Ladies, this is where it counts. Dig deep down and pull out your inner tiger. Remember what a bad ass you are for being there in the first place.
Makeup. Hire a professional. They are artists. Makeup for the camera is different than makeup for everyday. You’re already investing in professional photography. Go this extra step. We have MUAs we can recommend that we love. You’ll be glad you did.
Wardrobe. Be yourself here. Like Sophia said, it shouldn’t detract from the real star of the show, YOU, only enhance it. Choose clothing and accessories that make you feel sexy, strong, mysterious, playful, vulnerable… whatever your vision is. Blue jeans are just as classic and sexy as a beautiful piece of lingerie. That’s my next wardrobe of choice. That, and a great pair of shoes.
Have Fun. This might be the most important quality. I can’t believe how many of Chris’ clients come away from the shoot so jazzed up and ready to do another one! They’re having a great time and it shows in their images.

Since I’m nine months pregnant right now (and 33 lbs heavier and counting) I’m so tempted to think how critical of my body I’d be if I were to try to have boudoir photography taken of myself a year from now. But this list reminds me of what really makes a woman beautiful. Real women have curves and class. Not these 12 year old models with stick rail thin bodies we’re told is normal. Viva la woman!

Happy Photographing!

Utah Boudoir Photography :: Syanna

admin — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 06:32:26 +0000

Syanna simply wanted a calendar to give to her boyfriend. She was so good to work with it was hard to narrow down her pictures to the top 12. Syanna had a vision of some of the things she wanted to do, the big sweater, a water look, and her necklace. She allowed me a great latitude in creating the scene, and was willing to push herself to get the images she wanted. She didn’t have to work too hard, she’s a natural!

Utah Boudoir Photography :: Christian

admin — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 05:49:03 +0000

What’s the best wedding gift you can give your man besides saying “I do”? Surprising him with a sexy album right before your wedding ceremony. That’s what Christian did! Not only did she do one, but two! Christian, Genevieve [makeup & hair artist], and I shot over two days to create this fantastic piece of work. She was so excited to shoot, she bought way more clothes than she needed … I’m sure their honeymoon was something to be talked about. Christian has a classic beauty and was able to pull off this look with no problem!
