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 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!

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

Allison

I’m always excited when our client walks through the door.  They are normally a little nervous.  Maybe even a little shy.  I know that the final outcome is going to blow her away.  I am not worried.  I’m not shy.  I will be there to guide you through this awesome process.

This session is a good examples of items available in the Sparkle Wardrobe.  Items shown, blue dress, nude shoes, rhinestone choker, gold sequin tank, pearls, pearl earrings and black and gold heels.

Interview with Allison

The sweet, sexy, spicy and wonderful Allison took a few minutes to answer some questions.  We hope this inspires you to book your session!

What inspired you to book your session?

I was inspired to book my own session with Christine because being a plus size woman all my life, I’ve had a bad habit of doubting my own beauty. I felt like I could use a little confidence boost and after seeing Christine’s beautiful work- I decided to book a session of my own!

 

Did you have any hesitations?

At first the thought of being so vulnerable in front of someone new was nerve wracking- but I knew that this was a way to celebrate and take care of me. From the moment I arrived Christine and her team made me feel very welcome and comfortable! The nerves didn’t stick around long at all!

How did you feel during your session?

Amazingly, I felt like a rock star during my session! Christine was always so responsive to my movements and how I followed her instructions to pose- it made me feel like a million bucks! Each pose made me feel powerful and I was so excited to see the end results! It was hard to be patient!

 

For your session you received professional hair and make up. What did you think of the results?

As if Christine wasn’t amazing enough… I loved the results of my hair and make up! The make up artist listened to my ideas and made sure to help me put my best foot (errr… face) forward (I may have forgotten to tweeze my eyebrows a little- and she helped out!) The hair stylist was fun and knew the perfect way to tease/curl my straight, simple hair. I looked (and felt) like a total bombshell!

What advice would you give to those who are looking to book a session?

If anyone else out there is thinking about booking a session I would say… JUST GO FOR IT. Celebrate yourself as you are in this moment- no waiting for x,y, or z. You deserve it today and always. Regardless of your age, size, color, etc. I think its so important for everyone to feel beautiful. Lets be honest, in this world full of magazines and beauty standards- we can sometimes forget how worthy and beautiful we truly are. Christine and her team truly have a knack for making you feel comfortable and stunning. The photos are just a powerful reminder of ones own strength and beauty. I do not regret my session one bit- and I don’t think you will either!
