New outfits!

Whenever you come in for your boudoir session you now have the opportunity to use some of the provided outfits. This collection will definitely grow over time but right now this is the first set of new items! For the first set I definitely went with a pink and purple theme not even realizing this. Next time I’ll be adding some blue and greens and of course more sizes. Also beyond outfits I have a ton of props and jewelry to use for your session!

Cleveland Boudoir Photography - V’s Boudoir Session

V was an absolute natural in front of the camera! She had a bunch of ideas and different poses. When she left all I was thinking of was more poses we could have done! Next time for sure!! One of the bedrooms has amazing light that comes in. Pretty much the main reason why I use it!

Chicago Boudoir Photography: 50 and FABULOUS!

50 and FABULOUS is today’s post! K came into her boudoir session with a ton of spunk and not one ounce of nervousness. She just proved that ANYONE can do a boudoir session. This is not just for ladies getting married. It’s for turning 50, 30, 28, your 1/2 birthday, your anniversary, Valentine’s day, his birthday and most JUST BECAUSE. Do it for YOU. Every age, size and personality can do this. :)

Boudoir Photography | SOOC VS EDITED

One of the most asked questions I get from clients is, “Do you airbrush?” The answer is yes. All the clients favorite images are edited, retouched and airbrushed. Then depending on the picture maybe black and white or another favorite action of mine.I don’t do a ton of crazy color actions, mainly actions that will only enhance features and make you look even more sexy! :)

The left image is SOOC (straight out of the camera) and on the right is the fully edited image.

Workflow:
White Balance in LR (batch)
Smooth-O-Matic @ 100% (batch)
Low Portraiture (batch)
Pro Retouch @ 45% to fix any missed spots
Select O Pop @ 75% for eyes, eyebrows and lips.
Shadow Separator around 40% (depends on hair color)
Cut like a razor blade @ 90%

For the camera junkies: 50 1.2 on a 5D. Best combo EVER.

Then that’s that. Most of the actions are run in batches so but the last 4 actions I do by hand because I like to have total control over the opacity.
