Miss K’s Boudoir Session – Houston Boudoir Photography

November 25, 2009 | Filed Under Boudoir Photography, Houston, Studio Sessions | 3 Comments 

Miss K is having a destination wedding at the end of the year, and decided to surprise her sweetie with a boudoir album full of awesome, yummy goodness! She was gracious enough to give me permission to share a few of our favorites! We did a session at the studio, and had such a great time!

In Miss K’s own words – from a comment she left over at the wedding photography site, “Christine just shot my boudoir shoot and it was AMAZING!!! She made me feel SO comfortable…and the pictures are beautiful; very “soft and sweet” yet sexy. Thanks Christine!!”

I just loved that she incorporated things that she knows he loves into the session. They are both fans of the Buffalo Bills, so she brought a jersey along, he loves the red shoes she is wearing, so she was sure to include them, and he plays soccer, so she brought a soccer jersey as well!

Aren’t those shoes awesome? They are her shoes for her wedding day! I love the purple – they are going to be such a gorgeous accent! Thank you again to Miss K for such an awesome, fun session!

Ms. E’s Maternity Session – Boudoir Inspired Photography, Houston TX

March 11, 2009 | Filed Under Boudoir Photography, Houston, Studio Sessions, Texas | 3 Comments 

I’ve been offering boudoir sessions for eight months now, and in that time I’ve had a lot of sessions that are somehow related to babies — several of my clients have talked about how they are trying to get pregnant. One of my clients was just a few days pregnant when we did her session – she didn’t even know it yet. Ms. E came to me shortly after she found out she was pregnant and asked if she could do a boudoir session because she wanted to capture how she looked before her baby was born.

I immediately asked her if she would be willing to pose for me when she was closer to her due date, and I was thrilled when she agreed! For a long time, I didn’t get maternity photography. Why would anyone want that? Then I realized, in part thanks to my AMAZING boudoir clients, that every single woman is beautiful. Pregnant women truly do radiate a special light though. They are just stunning.

Ms. E called me when she reached the 30 week mark and we set up a session time. It worked out that the only day that we were both free was right after the open house this weekend, so we pulled out all the stops on Sunday and did our shoot.

We had such a great time. I joked that in the future, I need to set up a “Bootie to Belly to Baby” package, photographing boudoir through maternity and then the newborn session too. Oh, who am I kidding – it wasn’t a joke. I’ve already got dibs on her newborn photos! I can’t wait for the baby to arrive in a few weeks! (You’ll have to watch for her over on the regular blog.)

Let me know if you would like to book a maternity session with a little boudoir flare!

Miss K – the First Studio Session!

July 16, 2008 | Filed Under Boudoir Photography, Studio Sessions | 2 Comments 

Miss K’s boudoir session was the first one held at the new studio in the Heights, and it was fabulous! We had so much fun talking and getting to know one another while choosing spots to use for our photographs. She is so beautiful, her smile is so wonderful, and her laugh is just contagious!

I’ve set up a futon as a bed with cozy white bedding, an awesome wrought iron headboard, and fluffy pillows. The gauzy sheer drapes make a wonderful backdrop, and the light the shooting room is so incredible. We also took advantage of the furniture and rugs – it was just so much fun!

I was recently contacted for a reference for a boudoir session, and she sent me a copy of what she sent along — I asked her if I could post it here, and she said yes. Here it is:

Thanks so much for your email. Christine and I had our boudoir session on Wednesday, July 2nd, and I’m so happy to recommend her. I did them for similar reasons as it sounds like you’re considering, and I’m happy that I decided to do it. Christine was wonderful – a consummate professional. Even standing there in my skivvies, she always made me feel comfortable and beautiful (and her photos reflected that).

I arrived and showed Christine what I’d brought to wear. I put on the first outfit (my most tame), and we played with different poses and backgrounds. It was not embarassing at all because Christine really takes care of you (ie makes sure that you look great in the shots and that you’re looking/feeling natural). I did not do any nude shots; the most naked I got was down to my underwear, and I did it alone (without my fiance). We did all kinds of poses, from being on the bed in more “come hither” poses (but classy “come hither” poses) to sitting in chairs in more portrait-ish style (stuff that can sit on my fiance’s desk at work). Christine also took some great candids and journalistic shots that I will treasure.

All in all, I’m thrilled to have had the experience, and I trust Christine so much. She has a great eye, and her work is beautiful. But mostly, we just had fun, and she really took her time, attended to every little detail, and really impressed me with her personality and professionalism. I simply cannot say enough great things about both the experience and Christine! I hope this helps to inform your decision, and if you have any further questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them.

Enjoy your session, if you decide to book one, and best wishes.

Thank *YOU* Miss K for being so wonderful to work with — I just know your fiance´ is going to love them!
