A Boudoir session is a great way to embrace your body at any time in your life.  It seems that most woman that have had these sessions done decide to do them right before their wedding (after putting in all that hard work into their body for that wedding dress)… and surprise their man with them.  These images can be put into a leather album so that your partner can have a nice book of the images. These session are so classy and really are a lot of fun.  There is no nudity (as some think) and are done with the utter most class. These images are also confidential and will never be shared with anyone!

What to think about?

Location: Would you rather have it done in a nice hotel room, or in your bedroom?

What to bring:  Bring many changes of clothing.  Some choose lingerie, a button down shirt of their mans, or a cute cocktail dress works too. Heels always add a nice touch as well. Remember, these are supposed to be fun, and make you feel beautiful.  Embrace your body no matter what size/shape it is! 

A make-up artist and hairstylist can also be arranged for these sessions and to give you touch-ups through out the session. 

So, what exactly is a Bridal Portrait?  I like to explain it as a “stress-free time to get as many images taken as possible in a location (or couple locations) of your choice in your wedding dress!”  The wedding day can be sooo busy and a day filled with many emotions.  Some brides choose to not concentrate on pictures of just them self on that day and decide to do a separate session with just them and the dress!  Most of the times a good friend or the mom of the bride will come along as well (which makes for such a fun session).   Majority of brides will get a 16×20 images or canvas of their favorite shot from the session and post it at the reception. 

What to remember about Bridal Sessions?  

*Bring props!  Balloons, umbrellas, fun shoes, sunglasses, a bouquet….the sky is the limit!

*It may not always be the best idea to do your “trial run” with your hair on the same day as your bridal session (just incase you don’t like how it turned out).  Instead, consider doing your trial run a week or so before, and then schedule your appointment to do your hair a couple hours before the bridal session

*Do not worry if a bridal session does not fit in your budget…..I promise we will get plenty of images of you on your wedding day!!

can you smell it?  I must say that after having such a snowy winter, I have had cabin fever!  It seems that most of the sessions I have done have been inside (which is fine), but their is nothing like the natural beauty of the outdoors.  I know it seems I have been MIA on the blog the past few weeks…..just so many exciting things happening and not enough time in the day!  A quick update on everything our way….Chris has been working on finishing our basement along with working on the pasture and fencing in more area for our new cows and donkey!  Those are some huge tasks that I try to help out with as much as I can!  I, on the other hand, only have 3 months left of the pregnancy and have enjoyed every minute of it (well, maybe not the whole gaining weight part….but I have had no cravings, have not been sick, and just a little tired….but nothing to complain about)!  Our little girl’s name will be Abby and we are soooo excited to meet her!  I have had a couple people ask if I will still be doing sessions in May (Due the beginning of June) and July and the answer is YES, YES, YES!!  :)  However, I am not taking any weddings in May or June. 

Somethings to look forward to in the next couple of weeks is a daily blog post for a week on both Weddings and on Newborn sessions! It is soooo important to be educated as a client!!  

As for now, I will leave you with an image that spells out SPRING to me…and makes me think of Easter (which is like a month away)!  Who needs to dye eggs when they are so beautiful and farm fresh!
