Sparkling Heather

Uncategorized

Heather had been thinking about doing a boudoir session for years — but like many of us, she kept putting it off. Sometimes, life needs to shift before we finally say: “It’s time to do something for me.”

Heather made that commitment. She booked her consultation, and the rest was pure magic. 💫

During our chat, she shared what mattered most:
💙 Her belly was a concern
💜 She loved teal and purple
🧦 Thigh highs were a must
🚿 And yes… she wanted a shower scene — plus a dreamy gold sheet moment!

So we got creative! At the studio, we used a massive sheet of acrylic hung from a light stand. My amazing assistant Jodi misted both the sheet and Heather with a spray bottle, and just like that — we had a DIY shower setup that delivered pure cinematic magic. 📸

And guess what? The shower shots were her absolute favorites. ❤️

Heather, thank you for trusting us and for reminding everyone that the most powerful glow comes when we finally choose ourselves.

Sparkling Maternity Stephanie

Maternity, but make it Sparkle!

Maternity and boudoir are a beautiful match! Boudoir is all about celebrating your body. What better time to celebrate your body than during your pregnancy. During your session, you are pampered the entire time. Professional hair and makeup, access to our Sparkle Wardrobe, and the amazing Jodi to assist you during the shoot.

Stephanie is a long-time client of ours. This is not her first maternity or boudoir session with us. What better way to celebrate her final baby than to treat her with a boudoir shoot! Stephanie jumped at the opportunity to work with us again.

For this session, we did three different outfits. The first outfit I purchased from Amazon, and it is available in the Sparkle Wardrobe. It is this blush pink flowing off-the-shoulder dream of a dress. The second outfit is a bit daring for this blog but we did do the cutest purple bra and panty set. The final outfit is a beautiful blush bodysuit that is also available in our wardrobe.

Our first location was the famous Hobbs Woods. This is a local favorite for photo shoots. There is something to be said about beautiful weather mixed with timing. The sun shone through the tree with all the magic it could muster. I used a black pro mist filter and a star filter to take the magic to the next level.

The next location was the studio! We were on a high after the shoot at Hobbs Woods. I didn’t think we could top these photos! But thanks to a new lighting setup up we at least were able to compete with these. On my primary strobe I used a purple gel to cover the entire image with a purple hue. On the secondary strobe I used an orange gel to give a delicious rim lighting to the image. The final results still have me giddy!

All You Need is a Dress

Uncategorized

Sparkles…Lots of Sparkles!

Some of my clients prefer not to have their images shared. There are many reasons, and I respect them all! This one particular client did me a solid, though. She donated this amazing sequin dress. This dress comes with its own personality. For a dress with so much coverage, it is also so sexy. I determined this dress needed it’s own shoot.

Boudoir is whatever your version of sexy is! I wanted to share these images for women interested in doing a session but scared to get too revealing. This is your sign to purchase a sexy dress of your own or borrow this one!

Shout out to my girl, Alyssa, for modeling. I needed someone with a spicy personality, and she did not disappoint! The pink tights were a last-minute addition. Alyssa fell off of her bike, and her leg was bruised. Tights for the win!

Looks like a lot of fun doesn’t it? Why don’t we meet for coffee and talk about a shoot for you! Use Calendly below to book!

Introducing the sparkling Jessica! These images turned out absolutely stunning. The team was obsessed with the sheer top on her bodysuit! Her long dark hair was curled to perfection thanks to Jodi! Her makeup was just the right amount of spice thanks to Megan! What do you think of the final images?

Jodie Pinup

Pinup season is finally here. The warm weather, sunshine and vintage everything! We are going to check out a session I did a few years ago. This session is inspired by Rosie the Riveter as per the image above.

My favorite thing about this session is there are only 2 outfits. Because of the number of locations and vehicles used you don’t notice there is not an outfit change! The coveralls we have in the studio. The swim suit can be purchased on Amazon!

Thanks to great connections we have access to a number of classic cars. Now if you have your own classic car that is even better! I am dying to use someone’s actual garage where they keep and work on their car. Hint Hint!

Pinup is all about having fun! Big expressions make for the best images and Jodie has it down pat!

Sparkling Danielle

Danielle met us at one of the amazing wine walks in downtown Fond du lac. When she was ready to do a session she messaged me to book her consultation. During her consultation Danielle browsed through our clothing in the Sparkle Wardrobe. She fell in love with our fur coats. The fur made her feel like a rich actress on the 80’s drama Dallas! To go with the fur coat Danielle picked out a strapless red dress. All of the other outfits Danielle brought in.

The fur coat shoot was so empowering. Danielle got into character so quickly! The fur coat gave her Cruella Deville vibes at times.

Now the best part of the shoot. Danielle was in lingerie on the chaise in the Jane of the Jungle set. Jodi was assisting that day and she was like we need fog. I’m not one to turn down a good idea…….. at least that is until the smoke detector went off. Jodi said my face turned white! The smoke detector is hard wired in. Even worse I didn’t have a ladder tall enough to reach it. No matter how much we waved blankets at this dam smoke detector it refused to give up! Thanks to Jodi’s quick thinking she was able to get a friend to stop by and help us. We piled wooden boxes on the chaise for him to stand on. He said I think if I pull this wiring out it will send a signal to the fire department. I yelled “Pull it!!!!” Thankfully the fire department did not show up and Danielle continued with her session!

Moral of the story. Don’t use a fog machine right under your smoke detector!

Sparkling Jessica

This sparkling beauty came to us February of last year! After a few of her close friends came to us she decided to take the plunge! As a mom of two it is not very often that Jessica gets the opportunity to be pampered. Let alone feel sexy.

We started her session with this gorgeous green satin mermaid dress. This dress can be found on Amazon and our Sparkle Wardrobe. Starting with a sexy dress is the best way to ease into your session.

Jessica doesn’t need a lot of bling so a strand of pearls was perfect for her burgundy lace two piece. I kept the background a simple black to help her stand out.

The final outfit is the most gorgeous shade of teal. This worked perfectly with the gorgeous gold satin sheets!

Sparkling Wendy

Boudoir Photography

The Sparkling Wendy came to us last winter. She had seen our work from a friend who has had photos done with us. Once she saw those photos she knew she wanted to at least look into doing a session.

Wendy has all of the same complaints we always hear. Concerned with stretch marks, her age and her tummy. We are so glad she put her trust into us! Wendy is absolutely stunning! We are also thankful that she was very happy with the final results!

Sparkling Kristie

Pin Up

Kristie was looking to combine a Pinup Session with a Boudoir Session. We love opportunities that let us combine these looks all in one shoot!

The pinup hair look that Kristie was looking for made the transition from Pinup to Boudoir an easy step. The outfit she chose I just love because it is easy to achieve. A simply plaid top tied at the waist, jeans and a hair scarf. The chair used in this session I have had for well over 10 years. I love that I have a use for it!

The images on the bed are by far my favorite! This is where Kristie really started to feel comfortable and sexy!
