Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print.

Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print. It means many things to many people. Ladies–When is the last time you had someone photograph only YOU? Can’t remember? Are you always the one behind the camera while your Life goes undocumented? Yea…me too until I had a colleague photograph me. I had my hair done, makeup done etc. and then had my photograph taken and loved it! I did it for several reasons. My boys needed a photograph of just their mom and my husband needed a photograph of just his wife. I needed a photograph of me to remind myself of what I looked like in a flattering photograph! This is one of the core reasons for the Feel Beautiful Session.

No more excuses like, “I look terrible in photos!” or “I need to wait until I lose some weight.” It’s all in the posing and and lighting ladies. Posing you is my job. No worries. These are beautiful and simple photos. Classic and timeless. No boudoir or glamour shots. (Although I do offer a “White Sheet Session!) Think Vanity Fair Classic. These are photographs for anywhere in your home or office or that special place in your bedroom.

An in studio consultation will familiarize you with the Feel Beautiful session. It will be an opportunity to plan your wardrobe, coordinate our dates, ask any questions you may have regarding pricing and hold the gorgeous Folio Box that will contain your chosen matted photographs!

It is time for you to Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print.

Wardrobe for a Feel Beautiful Session?

What do you wear for a Feel Beautiful Session? Choosing garments for a Feel Beautiful Session is easy!  The focus is you, of course, but as women, once we feel like we are wearing a beautiful outfit, our entire outlook changes!  I can see it when it happens!  Hair is complete.  Makeup is complete. Wardrobe is on and BOOM!  You turn around toward my camera…I love that.

First, make sure the color complements your eyes and skin tone.  Black or white if all else fails. Second, make sure that the top or the top of the dress is fairly fitted.  Women with ample bosoms (as my grandmother used to say) look great in a well supported bra and a top that is fitted underneath their aforementioned bosom. Heck, anyone looks great with a good bra 😉 Third, some type of sleeve is always more flattering. However, butterfly sleeves may look great on you, but they do not photograph well!  I am a fan of the 3/4 length as I get older… Forth, Foundation garments (Grandmother speak again).  Those can be full length for a dress or whatever length for whatever you want to smooth out and tuck in 😉 Fifth, any top or dress with a texture can camouflage.  Lace overlay is beautiful and a favorite. A monochromatic top and bottom for continuity is always flattering.

What is really important is how you feel in your frocks!  It is my job to use lighting, posing and camera angles to bring out the very best YOU.  A consultation to discuss it all is included in your own Feel Beautiful Session. Contact me to find out more!

Here are a few examples of dresses that I love!  Not my photos, but the links are attached!

Feeling Beautiful

Feeling Beautiful.  What does that mean?  I suppose it has a different meaning for everyone, don’t you think?

For little girls it may mean dressing up like Cinderella or Elsa with pretty sparkly shoes and a crown. For teenagers it may mean a beautiful prom gown with a bump up in the normal hair and makeup.  For the 20 & 30 year olds maybe its a cute cocktail dress, fun hair and makeup or that wedding gown! So what is it for women in their 40’s +?? Hmmm. Maybe a chance to leave the Mom role for a few hours and step back into the world of carefree pampering.   A chance to step away from the day to day routine of your job and the responsibilities.  Having someone else style your hair & apply beautiful makeup while you sip sparkling water or wine.  Stepping in front of the camera and having a professional capture the beauty and wisdom that you have earned while making your mark in this life by working in your profession, taking care of children, parents, partners.  Laughing about your life experiences and Feeling Beautiful in this world while I capture it in photographs and print them for you and your loved ones to treasure.

A Life Preserver. That’s what printed photographs are, really. Preserving memories for yourself and for those you love. A Feel Beautiful Session is relaxed, fun and a little exciting! Beautiful Memories. Beautiful Photographs. Beautiful You.  Beautiful matted prints, albums and wall art are yours to choose from!  Call 321.446.5236 or use this Link to get in touch.
