I hear this so often.

Women look through the images on my site and think, “Oh no! I’ll never look like these women! I have cellulite, pimples, wrinkles, (whatever they don’t like).”

But every woman has something she doesn’t like about her face and/or body (takes one to know one, trust me on this one!).

That’s why I include retouching in my packages. Yes, I said, INCLUDE. Sure, it’s very time consuming. When done right, I find I can spend 20, 30, perhaps even 40 minutes on a single image. But the point is, I want the women I work with to feel happy and comfortable presenting their session images to the important loves in their lives. Bottom line.

Sure there’s so much controversy about retouching – in fact, I just watched a tutorial DVD where the instructor lifted a-just-about-perfect model’s boobs, butt and narrowed an already nearly-invisible waistline. Necessary? Probably not. So, sure, retouching can be overdone.

I tend to tell my clients  in their 30s, 40s and beyond (p.s. I  love shooting grandmas!!) that  I see retouching like this: I’m only giving back what time and/or  motherhood have taken away. It’s that simple. Right? Yes.

Look at the women on my site. Do they look overdone? NO.

I’ve seen sites where women look like half-human barbie dolls. Plastic alien looking skin they probably paid hundreds more to achieve. Nope. Won’t find that here. That’s why women think I only work with naturally “perfect” (whatever that means) clients.

So, if you’ve been thinking about boudoir, but felt pressured to “lose 10 more pounds,” “give a serious go at that new anti-aging cream,” etc. etc. forget about it. Call and book your session for the upcoming holidays today and rest assured that you’re perfect for boudoir just as you are, right now. Truly.

Enjoy your weekend!

When a recent client who wanted something simple couldn’t decide on a black or white backdrop, I suggested we shoot both! The white feels pretty, ethereal, soft, while the black feels more dramatic, more sensual. The result was images in both black and white and color, and an album filled with beautiful images representing the multifaceted nature of my client.

Whenever I work with a new client, my goal is to help them first clarify, and then achieve their vision. I have to say, I just love shooting Boudoir!! It’s always lots of fun collaborating with other smart, beautiful, strong women! Reminds me that we’re by far the more interesting gender! (Just kidding guys…maybe!)

FYI: All images posted on my site are shared with clients’ permission. There are many, many more I do not share here out of respect for clients who want their images to remain private. If you have a particular style in mind but don’t see it represented on my site, ask me. I may very well have examples of images in your preferred style but may not be able to share it online.

Make it a great day!

The first one surprised her husband by replacing a popular 18×24 print of a well-known celebrity with a portrait of her from our shoot (the one on the far left shot at the Bay Shore Marina). Here she proves she definitely holds her own alongside the creme de la creme–Raquel Welch, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe–fabulous celebrity women no more beautiful than she!

The second one surprised her husband by first posing for artistic nudes, and secondly, by having her favorite black and white boudoir image transformed into art, in the form of a large 20×30 gallery-wrapped canvas!

Both husbands, by the way, are reported to be rather pleased with their surprise gifts! : )
