I loved shooting Cory. And I'll tell you why. There is no question as to what Cory is feeling.... at any time! She wears her emotions on her sleeve. I can totally relate... I'm not one to be able to hide how I feel and sometimes that gets me in trouble. So when Cory called for a shoot I was excited. Because I knew that if I could make her feel beautiful and like she was a super model for the day, that it would clearly show in her portraits. I think you'll agree that she looks confident and beautiful:

This is a great opportunity for Flaunt to get some amazing shots of some fantastic women of all ages and sizes. You’ll receive a complimentary session (could vary in length, but typically about 1-2 hours), professional styling, and a gorgeous digital file of your favorite image. Want more products from your shoot? You’ll have the opportunity to purchase any additional sexy items you want from our standard product menu! What's the Catch? We get to call the shots. We’ll make all the decisions on styling and wardrobe, and we’ll require you to sign a model release allowing full use of all images both online and in print in perpetuity. It’s not really a catch, honestly, because these crazy fun artsy projects are the kind of thing you’d typically see in a fashion magazine and they are going to be a BLAST to shoot! Atlanta Boudoir + Glamour Photographers | Gwinnett + Forsyth County Atlanta ~ Suwanee ~ Alpharetta | Glamour | Boudoir | Contemporary PortraitsNicole came to us wanting to "invest in my marriage". The day of our shoot was her actual 10 year anniversary! How awesome and brave for Nicole to come to US...complete strangers...for this beautiful gift for her husband... and their marriage. She started out by saying that she's never done something like this type of shoot. Of course not! What sleep-deprived mom of little kids takes time out of her schedule to get her hair and makeup done, wear gorgeous clothes and stilettos and sit around smiling pretty for an hour or two while two strangers style you and take your photo?! Not enough of them, I say!
Here is what Nicole had to say after the shoot: "Ladies...when I showed Darren these pics last night, I wish you could have seen the smile that spread across his face! It was priceless! This gift totally hit the spot and I am so eternally grateful that it worked out the way it did! ..... "Thank you" just doesn't seem fitting for what you have done for me. Your investment in my marriage has already produced more than I could have hoped for and we've (me and Darren) have only seen a couple of pics! You ladies are doing a great work that has blessed the life of this little spicy wifey over here!" *Sniff* This was just about the most wonderful email we've ever received. Does the heart good. If you want to invest in your relationship, or even reward yourself for being a strong, beautiful woman, clearly this is the way to go! Why should I have MY portrait taken? (or....there are SO many other things I Should be doing)3/31/2014 I came across an article online about Boudoir photography in Cosmo... I know, Cosmo. But listen anyway. It made me consider what motivates a woman to have her portraits taken. There are SO many different motivating factors at play in our business. What was my motivation for having my photos taken? Well in my case it was a combination of things. One, I wanted to be able to speak to my experience when I relate to my clients. "Look, I get it. This is nerve-wracking and we don't know how to pose, stand, sit, smile, etc for the camera. We shouldn't be here right now, there are 428 other things I SHOULD be doing, like grocery shopping, working, driving my kids somewhere, cleaning the toilets...". But after the initial nerves I felt, I realized the photographer knows what they're doing and I could just relax and enjoy the experience. Another reason I did the shoot was for myself. As a mom of three kids, just about every single thing I do during my day is for someone else. This day was about me. I had my makeup done, which is such a treat. I felt "made up" and ready to show it off a little. I had pretty clothes, my boyfriend's shirt and super high heels. And I felt great. When I saw the photos, I was blown away. Even now, my boyfriend and I will joke when we look at the photos next to his desk and say, "Who is THAT hot chick?" because God knows, I don't look like that on a regular basis! Which brings me to reason number three for having the photos taken.... for David. My experience turned into a nice give for him. The photos are tasteful and pretty....something I am not embarrassed to have framed in our office. Here are some of the reasons Cosmo women gave for having their Glamour/Boudoir photos taken: * For myself
* To celebrate being single (again) * To honor a weight loss * To feel empowered***** * To celebrate a transitional period * To celebrate being a woman * To see myself in a different light * To celebrate my 30s (40s, 50s.....) * To capture your body NOW * To feel sexy * To show my strength |
