Which Do You Prefer?

Jun 25, 2020

Back in front of my camera again in these COVID-19 times. Self portraits allow me to practice posing so I can model the poses more efficiently for my clients. Also, I can show that boudoir is not necessarily about nudes and lingerie. I went for the "Girl next Door" look to show that boudoir is about how you want to show your body that you love, flaws and all. Those self affirmations in the mirror really work! And those positive pep talks to the parts of our body that we criticize. Anyway, ...

Self Portrait Challenge

Apr 21, 2020

I did a self portrait challenge for one of the photography groups that I am. I have taken selfies before, but never a self portrait. It was a true challenge because I did not know where to start. Well I knew that I needed a tripod. I found an old one standing in the corner of my office. I can't even remember why I had a tripod in the first place. Next I had to find the manual for my camera to see how to set the timer. So I have two options for the timer setting, 2 seconds or 10 seconds. I ...

What Should I Wear?

Apr 14, 2020

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? What should I wear? This is a legitimate question for boudoir photography. The answer is wear whatever you feel comfortable in. If you want to wear sexy lingerie, go for it. If you are a girl next door type and don't want to show to much skin, wear your favorite t-shirt with some cheeky bottoms. Or a cropped textured sweater with a garter belt and thigh high fish nets. You can even wear a show stopping bra or a bodysuit paired with a long flowing skirt. See how simple ...

So Excited About Boudoir!

Jan 29, 2020

Still pinching myself after the first boudoir marathon that I hosted. It was a combination of hard work and play. The ladies that answered the call were awesome to work with. It was very nice having girl talk with each of them. I was in my happy place! A fabulous time was had by all!Now it is time for me to be transparent: my first boudoir model call was a flop, no one signed up! I was feeling down about it, but guess what? I did not give up! I just scheduled another one, prayed to God to send ...

How Tight is Your Squad?

Oct 31, 2019

What a day we had on October 5th! After finally getting the date for this Bachelorette Party photoshoot scheduled, God opened up the skies and blessed us with torrential rain and wind exactly at the time that the photoshoot was scheduled to start. We were able to duck in a nearby hotel but we could not do the photoshoot there since we were not guests. What was the backup plan? Move the shoot indoors! Off we went to Renee Buckles Photography home studio that had to be setup with lights and a ...

Boudoir Session...Just Book It!

Oct 20, 2019

I did a boudoir session last year for my birthday and it was such a liberating feeling. I was comfortable in my own skin, and accepting of my body. My comfort and acceptance of myself lead to some of the most beautiful photographs that I have of myself. I was feeling myself so much from that session that I gifted some of the prints to my hubby as an anniversary gift. When he opened the box, his eyes lit up like he was a kid in a candy store! That boudoir session was a win-win situation for the ...

Letting Go...

Oct 08, 2019

Letting go of my version of the type of photographer that I thought I wanted to be was initially scary. Since July 2013, I have been focused on only being a high school senior photographer. All of my "L's" in the senior genre have been lessons learned and not losses in my business. However, after weeks of praying and doing some self reflecting, I no longer have the desire to continue to do senior photography. I thought about the time, emotions, and finances that I have invested in doing senior ...

The Season of Prom

Jun 18, 2019

The 2019 Prom Season came to an official end with Woodville Tompkins High School closing it out. Proms have evolved through the years into prom proposals and prom send offs. Gone are the days of the boy picking the girl up from her home and the parents taking a couple of snapshots with the instant camera. Another bygone era is of the couple taking pictures at the actual prom with the school photographer.  We had the privilege of capturing Jasmyn and Otis prom send off and official prom ...

How NOT To Use Smoke Bombs

May 28, 2019

I had this photo shoot all planned out with the models in their red, white, and blue attire making an epic photo shoot with them holding the smoke bombs. In my head it was going to be lit. And it reality it was lit... when the grass caught on fire. No one was hurt, the fire burned itself out by the time my assistant ran to get some water to put it out. Thank God no one got hurt and the grass was scorched in one small space. After all of the excitement, I just knew Smokey the Bear was going to ...
