See the Shoot: Cake Smash

Cake Smash Session

I had the cutest cake smash session last week. The family is adorable and so is little Dawson. His dance moves were epic. It was a boho themed set up with wood, leaves and plants as props.

For cake smash sessions, I start with family photos and individuals of the cute one year old.

Family Photos

The family photos went well and the kids are adorable. Big smiles on their faces! A win!

The Smash

Before I bring in the cake, we take photos without it and then we bring in the fun. The Cake!

Dawson seemed hesitant about digging into the cake at first but I let him go at his own pace. Once he tasted the cake, he LOVED it. He made the cutest face when eating the cake. Then he decided to crawl towards the camera!

Bubble Bath Splash

Once we finish with the cake portion then it’s BUBBLE BATH TIME! He loved splashing around in the tub.

Cake smashes are always so fun and messy but a perfect way to celebrate the milestone of turning one year old!

Outdoor Boudoir

Outdoor Boudoir 2023

OUTDOOR BOUDOIR

Outdoor Boudoir... What else do i have to say?

These sessions are my most popluar, super adventurous sessions. I usually have a full schedule with these ones.

How they work - I set up stations in the woods/creek area at the campground i grew up at. Im picking a Sunday because its less populated. (not that its very populated any day) Don’t worry, we wont be disturbed. i make the locations places off the path a little bit. The only issue i had last year was someone unfortunetly stole my peacock chair while i was going to get a new client. Im going to have someone staying with my things this year.

Outfits - You provide your own attire, if you want my opinion or help im always here!

How we get around - Fourwheeler.. so must be confortable riding as a passenger with me.

Packages - Package 1 is $400 and it includes the hair and makeup, 1 hour shoot, and all the digital images. Package 2 is $600 and it includes hair and makeup, 1 hour shoot, 30 image Little Black Book, and all digital images. The pricing here is different than a regular boudoir session.

Due to including all the images, turnaround time will be around 4 weeks.

Celebrate Weight-loss With Boudoir

Everyone has goals. Whether it’s just to tone, or loses a ton of weight. Let’s Celebrate that WIN! I know personally that losing weight and having control of your body is super hard. I go up and down the scale and can never get to the weight I would like to be at. I think it’s one of the hardest things to keep up on and that’s topping the whole paying bills on time thing…

Today, I would love to share some images from a recent session. This lady contacted me about booking a boudoir after she lost 150 lbs. She was SO nervous.

I believe that having a makeup girl in the studio helps calm their nerves a little bit because she talks to my clients the whole time. They carry on conversations that keep their mind at ease. They see themselves all GLAM’D UP, and say, let’s DO THIS!

I almost ALWAYS start my client on the bed, on their belly. It lets them get comfortable, it hides anything they may feel self conscious of, and they don’t have to do much.

This image was said to be her favorite from the whole shoot! The chair poses have been a huge hit lately. My clients have a chance to feel empowered in the chair and it also hides some things as well.

We ended the shoot with nothing but a blanket. I noticed as we went on, she became STRONG, and FEARLESS. She left feeling like a model and that Is my ultimate goal. Celebrate your journey through the experience that will leave you feeling like a goddess! <3
