I can not think of a better way to start a new year, than with an incredible Boudoir session!!!   This gorgeous lady, is a wife, and mom to 2 little ones.  Recently she turned 30 – and was feeling the need to do something for her.  I loved hearing that from her as Erica Sherman – stylist from Jean Paul – started her makeup.  It’s so easy to focus on the needs of everyone else in your life – especially being a mother.  And even when you acknowledge that you may need some YOU time – making it happen can be another story!  So to say I felt proud of her… sounds a bit funny – but really is exactly what I felt!  She values taking time for her – and embraced the experience from the beginning.

She brought a variety of clothing options – which we went through together and narrowed it down to the best looks.  This is always the way a Boudoir session begins.  We lay everything out, look at colors, and discuss the hair/makeup look that will compliment everything best.  When a client brings sports attire, I almost always encourage them to start with it.  It’s fun, light – and makes those first frames a little less stressful!

I then looked to see if she brought a teddy or a corset – showing more skin, but still keeping some coverage.  Cosette’s are probably my top item to recommend bringing to a session.  They just always look great – and women feel great in them!

Finally, we used her bra and underwear sets.   By this point she was comfortable, and having a great time!  Nerves have completely dissipated – and they shots come pretty easy!  This is also the time I consider seeing if client would like to try maybe a bare back shot – or even something a little edgier like the thong shot!  It just doesn’t get much hotter than that!
