Sparkling Jodie

Working with Jodie was so much fun! This woman is the total package. Sass, laughs, brains and beauty all mixed together. The amount of work she does to help our local veterans is amazing. She helped to make sure her vets were fed and taken care of during the pandemic. Her veterans are a part of her family. So what better way to celebrate her hard work than with a boudoir shoot!

Jodie booked this session with her best friend. I cannot stress how much fun this makes your experience. Jodie brought her own super sexy dress. I told her if she no longer needs it one day we will accept the donation lol! The blue bodysuit for her second outfit was the perfect color for her. Now the star attraction is definitely Jodie’s biker vest with her collection of patches. The only thing that could have made the shoot better was her on her actual motorcyle. As you can see Jodie’s true gorgeous personality shined through with this outfit!

Sparkling Magy

During Magy’s consultation I could tell she was nervous but more than willing to push herself through this challenge. This was going to be a valentine’s day gift for her husband. The day of her session she was shaking with nerves and excitement. Needless to say when she walked out the door her gorgeous head was held high! She did such an amazing job during her session. Her favorite outfit by far was the pink tule skirt (available in our Sparkle Wardrobe). She wanted all of the pictures of her in that skirt!

Sparkling Elana

There are some sessions that inspire us. Push us to do new things. This was definitely one of them.

Many of our clients are nervous when they first come in. Elana’s biggest concern was that she didn’t know how to pose herself. I was thankful she let me know this. I assured her that is where my experience comes in. I would be guiding her through each pose.

Elana brought with a gorgeous sequin and chiffon dress. She has yet to be able to wear this dress due to events being canceled. Let’s just say this dress speaks for itself. The added touch of a wine glass was such a gorgeous addition to these images.

Now let’s get to the one that blew my mind! I decided to get wild and use colored gels on my constant lights. I wanted to bring a fresh look I don’t see with other boudoir photographers. We have since used this set up twice. The results are wild and sexy. Let us know your thoughts on this set up.

Huge shout out to Elana for trusting us with her session! xoxo

Sparkling Brooke

Recently Brooke shared these amazing words with her favorite photos from the session. With her permission I give you her heartfelt words.

“Real Talk…. Confidence and positive self esteem is something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. Something I’ve managed to just deal with and tolerate all these years. Biggest issue now, I’m raising two amazing daughters who are incredible, and beautiful, and smart, and so much more. However, I can’t help but notice and fear that my poor self esteem and body shaming of myself has or will rub off on them. How can I feed them all these positive amazing words of beauty, when I then look at my own self and struggle to find any positivity or beauty in the mirror.

This post isn’t to look for compliments or any words of positivity. This post is to simply raise awareness on body positivity to all women. All shapes. All sizes. And more importantly, to stop caring and worrying what others see in you, and simply focus on finding and seeing beauty in yourself.

These past 6 months I’ve struggled yet again, with being at my heaviest and unhealthiest, and with finding myself and being okay with the woman I am and the mistakes I’ve made in life. So I changed my mind set and started doing more of what makes me happy, healthy hobbies, and surrounding myself with the right people. At 33, I’m okay with admitting that I’m still growing and still learning.

I’m still working on my positive mindset, in all aspects. But I know I’m not alone.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to others. Live in the moment. Develop Awareness. Stay connected to yourself. Stop judging yourself and others. Let go of how you think things should be. Prioritize your needs. Embrace the awkwardness. Affirm your value and challenge the negative.”

Sparkling Angela

A perfect session starts with all of your favorite things. For Angela it must include the color purple, roses and tattoos. Your favorite things tell your story. The things that make you feel special, beautiful and sparkle.

Angela is a woman who always puts everyone else first. It was wonderful to see her have time to reflect on how beautiful she is. To remember that she is important too.

When photographing women my goal is to make then look strong, sexy and in control.  I want to show women who they really are.  Absolutely gorgeous and confident.  Granted this may not transition into your everyday.  The idea is that when you look at your images you see a strong and sexy version of yourself.  A version to remind you of what you are capable of!

The session always starts with a sexy dress.  Junelle walked out of the dressing area with her head high in this sexy satin number (available in the Sparkle Wardrobe).

 

Junelle brought this amazing black bodysuit.  She was so excited to show it to me.  Let’s not forget the amazing lace up shoes she brought!

This fuscia comforter is just soooo stunning!  Almost as gorgeous as my client.

This bra and panty set not only matched the lipstick we chose it also compliments her stunning hair color.

The New Studio

January 1st of this year marks the very first day in my new studio.  After years of packing up dresses, shoes and camera gear I decided now was the time.  May was the first time I was able to shoot in my new space.  After months of being shut down I was nervous.  Thankfully my first two shoots were absolutely amazing!  The flexibility I have in the new space is everything I needed.

Let’s start with the before and after.  Kathe is absolutely gorgeous to being with but there is no denying in her after she is a knock out!

 

Full body shots like this were hard to get in a hotel environment.  My new signature Mud Flap pose is going to be a go to for all my clients!

The new white leather couch is absolute magic.  The dreamy light coming in from the sheers.

Access to all of my pretties is a must.  The studio allows me to house all of the outfits and accessories you see in this shoot!

Andrea told me during her consultation she wanted to look bad ass.  She had no concerns about stretch marks from having 4 boys. (I know it is hard to believe this hot body had 4 boys!)  Andrea wanted to look hot and bad ass.

Andrea is such a great mix of sass, spunk and confidence.  With just a little direction Andrea moved effortlessly from one pose to another.  She even threw a few ideas my way that made for the most amazing images.  Her images are strong and sexy just like her.  There are just a few images that show her softer side.  I have to admit they are some of my favorites.

Andrea booked her session with her best friend Rachel.  Those two had so much fun experiencing this together.  That evening they met up with their husbands looking and feeling spicy!  I love both of these girls so much.  They are such strong supporters of what Love Your Sparkle is about.

Now here is the best part of the story.  Andrea’s husband reached out to me this weekend.  He knew that Andrea was making payments on her print order.  He wanted to surprise her for Mothers Day and pay off the balance.  I got a little teary eyed because I knew how much this would mean to her.  You have a good man Andrea! I hope this is an awesome Mother’s Day! xoxo
