Behind the "Little Black Dress"

fWhat the heck??  I'm sure you are thinking that after reading this subject!  The Little Black Dress is a package I have for photos, and is one I wish I could give away to every single woman in the world!  My Little Black Dress package is for boudoir photography, and I can't even begin to tell you how empowering, beautiful, self securing, and how positive of an experience it truly is.  You MUST have faith and trust in your photographer for your images to turn out.  You also want to know that your photographer knows what they are doing and even better, that they've done a boudoir photo session previously.

I have done quite a few now, and each one is different, but the way the woman feels at the end of the session when we review the photos is not different... my experience has been every woman finishes the session feeling beautiful, secure, self confident, sexy and in some cases, fierce!

I prefer to take photos that flatter each individual person, to showcase the beauty within the woman, to show who they are.  A number of photos are done without showing the client's face, and no photo will ever show anything inappropriate.  That is not what boudoir photography is about.

The entire shoot is done very delicately, slowly, without rush or pressure.  I listen to the client's wishes for how they would like to have their photos look, how they would like them to feel, and go from there.  Some sessions take 2 hours, some take more, but the time it takes is not important, it is the final results.

The session usually starts with the client feeling shy, a little insecure, and this is completely normal!  I would react the same if I were on the other side of the lens.  But after the camera starts clicking and the client gets used to how I work, my encouragement, praises and compliments, they begin to feel comfortable and it shows.  The transformation that happens during the shoot is inspiring, every single time!  By the end of the session, it is common for me to experience the client suggesting angles and shoots... and I capture these for them, as by this point, the woman is truly herself, her beautiful, sexy, confident self!
