Bridal Boudoir session: brookelyn

Brookelyn is a fabulous hair and makeup artist. She came to me for a bridal boudoir. The setting was beautiful and her images are amazing.

Brookelyn is a fabulous makeup artist. She came to the studio prepared with cute white lingerie and her veil and sparkly wedding shoes. I love these images in color and in black and white. Bridal boudoir can be a fun gift for your soon to be spouse, or it can simply empower you as a woman to see and realize your beauty, inside and out.

I have worked with Brookelyn a few times on different projects and she is a consummate professional makeup artist. She comes prepared, she knows what she is doing, I love both her makeup work and her hair styling. I give brides an option of color or black and white. Take a look at these in black and white.

Or consider these in color…

Why does bridal boudoir matter?

A boudoir shoot is a great way to celebrate yourself, create amazing photographs that reflect just how vivacious and incredible you truly are. It's so easy to get caught up with work and life. "Sometimes the fire glows a little dimmer than it once did, and when that happens, having some great images of yourself to look back on can help reignite that flame within yourself," says photographer Bailey Harada Stone.

Nikki

Nikki has a boudoir photo shoot in Millcreek Utah. With a pink satin baby doll bustier and a cute Victoria’s Secret bra and panty set.

Nikki is my definition of a “blond bombshell”. Tall, voluptuous, not a skinny stick, but nice and curvy.

I photographed Nikki in my studio on Highland Drive in Millcreek Utah. Nikki is a tall lady and we had some fun posing her and getting these pictures. I like to keep things simple so that the focus is on the unique beauty and style of a woman’s personality. Nikki brought this sexy matching bra and panty set and the subtle lace design was a nice contrast to her nearly flawless skin.

Nikki brought the cute Victoria’s Secret bra and panty set above as well as this cute bustier or baby doll lingerie in pink. Nikki is so tall and statuesque that I just had to have her do some standing poses to show off her figure and long legs,

Nikki brought her boyfriend to the session. He mostly stayed in the background, but I did get a few of them together with him being silly, just for them to remember. Nikki brought this sexy and very cute pink bustier or baby doll teddy and very cute pink glitter high heels to match.

Sometimes a woman starts a session feeling a little timid, wanting to do a boudoir session, but just not feeling confidant. Usually it only takes a few minutes and as a woman starts to get used to the process and can see a few images on the back of my camera that she gains confidence and a new appreciation of her body. Sometimes a client will decide to be a bit more mold in expressing them selves and exploring their own beauty. This happened with Nikki and this one image is the only one I’ll share.

Kailah. Mom, Wife, EMT.

Love yourself this valentines with a makeover and photo shoot to celebrate you!

I truly believe that woman can do it all. Kailah is a wife, mother, and an EMT. She balances her home and work life and seven children. And she finds time for her passion doing glamour makeup for photographers and models in her spare time. Since when do moms have spare time? We did a mix of studio and natural light for her session.

Valentines Boudoir Kailah

Everything’s coming up roses! What a classic! Red, black, and a beautiful woman. We had a lot of fun posing on this cute swing. Kailah wanted a sweet gift for her husband that he will treasure. I hope this is an amazing gift for Kailah.

I have long thought that the sexiest thing a woman can wear is a smile. I love her smile. So genuine and happy. It makes you relax.

Can you tell which are studio and which are natural light?

Love Yourself

Valentines Day, A Time to Fall in Love with Yourself

Valentines days begins with loving yourself.

These are from an old shoot for valentines. Whether you are in a relationship or not, I believe everyone should fall in love with themselves.

This is a fun example of studio boudoir. I probably create 70% of my boudoir work in a studio. My preferred ethic is simplicity, to create a focus on the person. I also like studio because I prefer moody, emotional light and I have total control of the lights mood in studio. Sure, I can control light in other settings, when that is needed, but I love the simplicity and the total focus on my client that the studio brings.
