What to Wear . . . pink and black

I haven't done a "what to wear" post in a while and with several upcoming boudoir sessions, I thought I'd start posting some inspiration for my clients!

Destination Vegas . . . Getting....uh....Masculine.

Yep, it's a dude. 

In fact, this is MY guy. 

No, he doesn't normally look like this.

No, this is not a normal thing for him.

To put it simply, he was a good sport and willing to be my muse.

When in Vegas...

For my photo friends, these were all shot on 35mm film using a Canon Rebel and a 50mm f/1.4 lens. 

Film was Fuji 800, pushed to 1600, and converted to b&w.

Portland Boudoir Photographer . . . A relaxed Saturday morning.

If you watched the behind the scenes video (seen here), you've already seen some of these images. My make up artist, Nicole, and I had a fabulous time with Miss Cara on a sunny Saturday morning. We did this session in her home, over coffee and laughs. 

Isn't she gorgeous?!

For my photog friends out there, this was a hybrid session (film and digital mixed). The digital shots were taken with a Canon 5D classic, while the film shots were a combination of a Bronica ETRS and a Yashica Mat 124-G. Films used were Fuji Acros 100 and T-Max 400.

Oregon Boudoir Photographer . . . BEHIND THE SCENES.

I am so excited to share this!

This beautiful woman, Cara,  was kind enough to let us take some footage of behind the scenes action during her in-home boudoir session. We had a great time working with her!

Salem Boudoir Photography . . . A Quiet Moment.

Portland Boudoir Photographer . . . Great things come in small packages.

I loved working this petite little client so much! She was a bit nervous (most boudoir clients are until they get started), but totally and completely rocked her boudoir session. Like, totally rocked it. 

I saved my favorite shot for last. I mean, holy vixen, batman!

Portland Boudoir Photographer . . . Bride-to-Be

Okay, she is actually married now, but when I took these photos it was before her wedding. 

I had to wait to share them, of course, until after their nuptials.
