… and it keeps building!

March 4, 2009 – 11:54 am

I’m just starting to catch up with all the boudoir images I’ve been taking over the past few weeks!  The past few days I’ve had some time to myself and now I have this week to get ready for the next wave as I’m completely booked until the end of April!  I have a whole bunch of other things planned for all my girls who would like to come in for a personal session as well as little ‘goodies’ to take home afterwards.  Here’s a little sneak peak at one of my recent shoots.

I still can’t get over how much FUN this is, not only for me, but for all my girls who have come in for a shoot!  Obviously there’s always that initial ’shyness’ but once we start snapping, all inhibitions are let go and we have a great time.  Here’s a little note one of my girls sent me the other day:

Tina,

I just can’t thank you enough for the warmth, professionalism and amazing results you were able to capture last week!  I am not only in awe with the way you made me look, but how comfortable you made me feel in front of your camera!  I’m just amazed by that!   You are so totally cool, relaxed, FUN and so easy to work with that I’m going to send ALL my friends to you just for that experience alone!  The images (which I still can’t believe are of me) are more beautiful than I ever thought possible but still secondary to the feeling of confidence and self-assuredness you gave me.   WOW!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, thank YOU!
Tiana

Boudoir, Baby!

February 11, 2009 – 6:53 pm

So you’ve probably guessed by now what my ’secret’ project has been…  Boudoir photography! Ever since my first ‘hint’ I’ve had a million calls and this new venture has exploded!  I’m already booked up until April!  Although I’d love to put ALL the images up, out of privacy I can only show you a few.

 

I can’t tell you how excited I am about capturing the beauty of all women.  We all have such strength, the ability to nurture and empathize and an amazing ability to do it all at once and for everyone.  We also tend to ‘minimalize’ who we are and not give ourselves the credit we deserve or allow ourselves to see our own beauty.  

The past few weeks I have been inspired by the incredible women I’ve met of all shapes and sizes.  During their photo session they were like butterflies discovering their wings for the first time.  Discovering their own beauty and owning it!  I have to share a Thank You card I received this week from one of my girls:

Tina

I just wanted to thank you for the photo shoot…  Your amazing work has given me a boost of confidence that my self-conscious mind needed!  I can’t thank you enough for capturing this moment in time that I will enjoy remembering many years from now.  Thank you!

A lot of the women who came to me were single and wanted to do this for themselves.  We had so much fun telling stories and sharing ideas that the actual shoot seemed secondary - icing on the cake! 

Well I’m off to get ready for another big day of shooting tomorrow!
