Photo of the Month - November 2013

Another edit from the a beauty portraiture session I did a while back.  I'll be choosing a favorite image from a past family or beauty session to edit in post production, the one I see in my mind at the time I am photographing.

Into The Forest | Beauty

This image is from a session I photographed back in February that I recently re-edited with a technique that works aesthetically on a very few images.  I thought this technique was a perfect fit for this image.  

I know it's cold outside this time of year, but my boudoir clients are courageous!  I hope one of my upcoming boudoir clients will brave the cold before the fall colors are gone.  (I'll have a heated towel waiting for you and it doesn't take long for me to capture a few frames.)

Beauty Portraiture + Sneak Peek

I did a stylized beauty portrait session with Jess last week.  Her adorable smile lit up the studio as you can see in this sneak peek.  There's more to come next week, but I couldn't resist posting a little teaser.

These sessions start out with learning a little about the woman I'm working with, what she loves about herself, what her passions are and what she enjoys.  The goal is to glam you up and wrap you in tulle or a gorgeous gown you may have and rarely get to wear and show both your inner and outer beauty, you will feel radiant and your portraits will remind you every day just how beautiful you are!

If you are interested in booking your beauty portrait session, please contact me here, it's a wonderful gift to give yourself.

Bellevue Portrait Photographer | The individual portrait

When was the last time you had a professional portrait taken of yourself?  I'll bet it's been a very long time.  A portrait makes a nice gift for the loved ones in your life and more importantly a wonderful gift for yourself.

Almost everyone has a social networking profile on the internet or are involved in groups like meetup.com, if so, how old is your profile image?  I'll bet it's over a year old, or in some cases maybe three years...  When you meet people, you want them to recognize you right away and not question if that's actually you they saw in your profile image.

Consider updating your image, for yourself, for your family, your grandchildren, your children, or that online dating site you've been thinking about joining!

For women out there of any age, consider an elegant glamour portrait, (these sessions in particular are incredibly empowering regardless of your age.)  You cannot imagine the woman you are who has been been hidden away between work, shuffling your kids from school to soccer and all the other demands on women.  I cannot stress how making this special time for yourself can leave you feeling.  A  fresh image speaks a thousand words...
