Help Support Breast Cancer Research

May 18th, 2012

 

columbus boudoir photographer in ohioWe’ve been running a special fundraiser this month in support of breast cancer awareness month!

For the month of May, a portion of all of our boudoir sessions are being donated to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.  We have already raised a good amount, but in an effort to raise even more donations, we are extending the special to include those shoots “booked” during the month of May.  That means you don’t have to have your shoot “scheduled” for May.  We can set it up for a later date and your session fee can still help support this cause.

 

We have seen and believe that our boudoir sessions can be uplifting and encouraging to breast cancer survivors, so this is a topic that we hold dear to our hearts. We’re excited to see how much we will be donating!

 

If you have been considering a session and just haven’t mustered up the courage to contact us, now’s the time to do it!

 

Be sure to check out our new Specials page for offers and discounts.

And if you’re not a fan already, please “like” us on facebook so you are kept informed of all the latest!

Outdoor Boudoir Session | Columbus Ohio Boudoir

April 26th, 2012

A few weeks ago, I was honored to photograph 2 boudoir sessions at a crazy awesome private location.  When I showed up, I was fully anticipating doing their shoots in one of the bedrooms or possibly using a sofa, but one look at their outdoor area had me sold!  We had to do the photos there!   It’s not everyday that it works out to do these types of photos outside, but it really adds a unique exotic feel to the photos that I just love.  I’m so thankful for wonderful weather that day, and extremely brave clients! :)  Here’s a few of my favorites from the first of the two sessions…

Boudoir Calendar Shoot

April 10th, 2012

A few weeks back I had the privilege of doing a custom calendar shoot for one of my boudoir clients.  She came to me with the idea of a different theme/look for each month, and was going to present it to her fiance as a gift.  Of course I was all excited about the idea and thought it sounded really fun!  With Meg on the job providing a gorgeous look, we were all set to work with our many props and boudoir outfits.  With just a little extra time added to our standard session, we were able to accomplish a complete 12-month calendar shoot.  Here’s some of my favorite photographs…

 

This one is my all-time favorite shot!

Boudoir for the Bride | Columbus Boudoir Photography

February 7th, 2012

If I had to guess, when this bride gives these boudoir photos to her husband-to-be, I think his reaction will consist of one word…”WOW!”  And I suppose that might be followed up with “I am one lucky guy!” :)

Thank you to Lindsay, who completely rocked this shoot and made my job easy, and to the fabulous Meg for doing another fantastic job with her makeup!

I was loving the contrasting looks at this recent boudoir session.  It was a perfect mix of sweet and spicy!  Stacie did an amazing job of creating a look that was elegant and flawless, while adding a touch of drama with that smokey eye that we all have come to love in boudoir photos.  This will make for unforgettable gift to her fiance on their wedding day!

Featured on 10TV News!

March 3rd, 2011

Back in the fall of last year, I received a call from 10tv News, asking if they could do a feature segment on my boudoir photography and what the experience is like for women.  I can’t even remember exactly what I said in response; I was so excited!  I imagine my jaw dropped and I probably struggled for words, and eventually muttered something to the effect of “Uh…I’d be happy to do a feature…absolutely!…wow…that’s awesome!”

Once we decided it would be a full blown Pin-up Party that would be covered, my task of pulling it all together began.  As I soon found out, with this being a personal and rather private type of session, it’s quite difficult to find a group of ladies willing to be shown on the news in their “bare essentials!”  So, a huge thank you is in order to Andrea and her friends for braving it out and allowing me to do the less-than-private party with them!  And a GINORMOUS thank you to the talented ladies at Studio Fovero for providing the chic location and the makeup and hairstyling for all our girls!

 

Ok, so once the plans were in order, the next thing on my mind was…Oh geez, I hate being on camera!  An interview?  What did I get myself into?!!  “Don’t over-think it. You’ll do fine,” my friends told me.  Easier said than done!  I was a complete ball of nerves!  Seriously.  It was more anxiety than any meditative yoga class could handle.  I eventually came to terms with the fact that I will never enjoy watching myself talk, and I will never ever ever like hearing the sound of my own voice…and I’m ok with that.  On the night of the party, the Studio Fovero team were total rockstars…I mean seriously fun people with insane talent!  It was a blast!
