Sparkling Heather

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.

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!

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 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!

This is the Sparkling Rebecca! My favorite part about this session was Rebecca wanted to do this shoot just for herself! She wanted to capture how beautiful she is right now!

My second favorite part is her 3rd outfit. She is not much for glitz and glamour but an over the top necklace had her mesmerized. During her consultation I told her we could use it and nothing else on top. She loved this idea.

Now Rebecca’s favorite outfit was the red bodysuit and her cowboy boots! She stunned in that outfit!

Making each shoot unique to the client is what helps to set us apart. We love shooting glamour and classic boudoir shoots. At the same time we want to stand out from other photographers. New projects usually mean more of an investment. Investment in backdrops, props, furniture, clothing and accessories.

For over two years I have been holding on to these colorful velcro rollers. I have even taken them to shoots back when we shot in hotel rooms. Just in case I could use them. I am not one to hold onto things that are not useful for too long but something told me they needed to stay.

Our client Kathe did not know I had this surprise in store for her. I just new this would be a perfect fit. So the day of her shoot we told her what we had in store. She was so excited. The best part is her mom yelled from the makeup chair…. grab her cigarettes! She needs to have a smoke. Fan of smoking or not those are some of my favorite images.

The set was made up of a leftover piece of pink seamless paper for the backdrop, a plant from one of our sets, velvet chair from the studio and a hairdryer supplied by our stylist Jodi. Jodi found this beauty on the side of the road many moons ago.

To save time we only rolled the front of her hair in rollers. The bodysuit was in our Sparkle Wardrobe and the heels were a part of Kathe’s wardrobe. They were literally the icing on the cake.

If this set has you inspired message us so we can create a perfect pinup look for you!

These are the kind of images that need to be out on display! This is the perfect example of a time I would recommend adding a 9 UP framed print to your package!

Sparkling Rachel

Rachel is a previous client of ours. Her sparkling eyes and gorgeous smile were perfect for this project. I reached out to Rachel to see if she would be interested in modeling for our newest behind the scenes video. She was quick to accept the offer! Most of this session I had styled but encouraged Rachel to bring anything she wanted. In the end her leopard bodysuit was by far my favorite outfit from this session!

After almost a year of living through a pandemic it was nice to have the opportunity to pamper one of our frontline workers! Amanda takes a lot of pride in what she has accomplished. We thank her for every patient she helps during these crazy times.

Now let’s talk a little about the session. Little did our team know that we would be photographing someone who should have been famous in the 40’s and 50’s! Amanda has the most gorgeous fair complexion that mixes perfect with Old Hollywood and red lipstick. Tell us which photo from this session was your favorite!
