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.

Flower Mini Sessions

Flower Mini Sessions-Boudoir

FLOWERS MINI SESSION

"Flowers" mini session is a type of boudoir mini session for women to hold flowers in front of their chest. I got the inspiration from Mileys new song "flowers". If you are going through something and need an uplift or you just want some cool looking photos, this is for you!

See The Shoot: Nick + Brenna

A Mystical Wedding

Getting Ready

Ceremony

Nick and Brenna picked the perfect location to express their love for one another. The location is so beautiful and enchanting. The trees were absolutely breathtaking. I wish all my weddings were at this lovely location in Naples, NY. The Cummings Nature Center is the place to say I DO!

Family / Wedding Party

Reception

This wedding is unique in that they decided to do family traditions. Cutting a log instead of a cake is a German Tradition. “Baumstamm sägen” or “saw the tree trunk” is a wedding tradition that requires some arm work as a representation of the first obstacle that the couple must overcome, they must express willingness and the abilities to master the hurdles that arise in marriage.
Also, Shrek was a special guest!

A Reikart House Wedding

Family / Wedding Party

Bride + Groom

Reception

This couple had a few surprised up their sleeves. They invited the Syracuse Orange Mascot to their wedding! Rebecca played her flute for her friends and family as well. Those were some key moments that made the wedding their own and super unique to their interests and desires.

See The Shoot: Nick + Andrea

Nick & Andrea had a small intimate wedding at The Wurlitzer and I was all for the upstairs warehouse area. They were not sure if they would like the images up there and I reassured them that they would be KILLER!
They were referred by someone who used to babysit my daughter. Referrals are the best, am I right?

These love birds were set up on a blind date…a very successful blind date.

See The Shoot: Roger + Rockie

May 21, 2023

The Details

Details are important. Check out the details from the day! They are just a small clip of the story, but dang are they beautiful images.

The First Look

As I tell all my brides… just do it. It’s an imitate moment where you can share together and not have to keep it together in front of all your guests. This groom was BLOWN away!

Wedding Party

Although they had a small wedding party, they knew how to have fun!

The Bride and Groom

Okay, I have a lot to say here. Hang on tight.
Roger and Rockie are the PERFECT match. They had their engagement session at the same location we went to the above images. It’s important to them. They are so passionate with a side of goofy. I love it. They were my ideal client. Rockie has a special surprise for Roger on the day of their wedding. She also booked a boudoir session and decided to get a black book to gift to her man! He LOVED it (maybe not the opening it in front of the camera part.. but we wanted to get the reaction)

The Ceremony

Short and Sweet! It was such a beautiful ceremony. But let’s talk about the location for a minute!
Niagara Crossing is the location, its balcony works so well for wedding ceremonies! The only complaint was a man mowing his lawn during the ceremony but i’m sure he does that for all the wedding they do just to be that guy. When I got there, my phone said “Welcome to Canada” as we were just across the river in Lewiston.

The Reception

Time to PARTY! They had some amazing moments. If you know me, you know I LOVE getting moments with the older folks. The reason I have such a passion for those images is because those people will more than likely not be in your life a whole lot longer. There was also a moment where they got grandma out of her wheel chair and held her up to dance and I thought that was so special.

See The Shoot: Josh + Megan

On May 20th, 2022 Josh and Megan said “I do”
It was small, intimate, and beautiful.
Buffalo Botanical Gardens was the perfect choice!

Josh and Megan decided to have their first dance and parent dances follow right after the ceremony before family portraits. T
hey plan on having a small reception next year with more family and friends.

See The Shoot: Steven + Kristina

4.30.22

Steven + Kristina found me last minute when they found out the photographer they booked was moving out of state. When I saw the inquiry in my inbox, and realized that they needed assistance I could not back down, especially when I read that it was at The Sterling. After talking with the couple, I knew that they were a good fit for me. It was such a beautiful day…

Getting Ready: The Venue had such a beautiful bridal suite. The lighting and colors in the room was perfect for my style.

First Look: Although the cat walk was tricky to get the right angle, I think its such a great idea! It’s worth having a second shooter with you to get the right angle! I love the way that he looked at her <3 EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED! Yes, they were already married… Thanks to covid.

Ceremony: The ceremony location was pretty. The only downfall was the sunshine mid day. As photographers, we work with what we got and have to adjust for various lighting situations. Check put the beautiful building behind them tho! ugh! The windows are so cool!

Wedding Party: OMG This was such a fun group of people! As you can tell, they had so much fun! From posing like the opposite sex, to screaming at the top of their lungs for some fun shots, It was amazing.

The Couple: UGHH! Such a beautiful couple! I can not express enough about how much love there is between them. The way the look at each other, the way they LOVED every moment of the day… LOVE

PARTYYYY: They finally got to celebrate their LOVE! It was such a great time and good people. They ended the night with a sparkler send off!

Why You Should Book A Cake Smash Session?

The Cake Smash

Cake smash sessions are a milestone in your child’s life. It’s a fun way to celebrate and document them turning the big ONE! It’s not only fun for the children, but the parents have fun too. I can not tell you how many parents watch in AWE while their little one is smashing into a cake and having s good ol time. The photos are amazing, but the experience as a whole is like nothing else.

FAQ: Smash Sessions

Can we pick the theme? Yes, You can pick the theme and we will produce the set!

Theme: The possibilities are endless. Are you a sports family? Do they have a favorite movie or show?

Do we bring the cake? No, I will supply the cake.

My kid has allergies, Can you accomodate that? Yes, Of course!

Can we get family photos too? Yes, we will do that first!

Can siblings help or be in some of the cake smash photos? Of Course!

What’s Included/What’s the Process?

The session is 1.5 hours long. We will start by photographing the family. Then I will do images of the one year old before bringing out the cake. Once the cake comes out, we will no longer be able to take any extra family/sibling shots. Once the cake session is done, I will set up a tub for a splash session. This is the quickest part because the water cools off fast and we don’t want ALL the water to end up on the floor.

The package comes with 20 digital images. After your session, I will send you a link to an online gallery where you will pick out your images. You can select extra images fro $7/each. Once you select the images I will do final editing/touch ups to the images. You will be able to download them once I am done.

Getting Ready Tips

There is always so much going on with wedding planning that sometimes you get so stressed about what you should have ready for the morning of your wedding. Today I would like to help you out by providing some TIPS to make “Getting Ready” photos a breeze! I have a wedding guide that I have created to help you be prepared for your wedding photos!

Having everything together makes it so much easier for the photographer yo capture beautiful images, but it will also make the bride feel less stressful coming into wedding day. That is why I have made a wedding guide.

Booking A Boudoir Session After A Divorce!

One of the most stressful and emotionally draining experiences in life is divorce. Women are hit the hardest due to a loss of or reduced income, being the primary caretakers of children, losing some of their support system, and sometimes needing to relocate. It all adds so much more stress on to daily lives.

The various stressors that come with a divorce can take a toll on both mental and physical health, as well as emotional well-being. One way boudoir photography can be therapeutic during a time of divorce is that it can help women reclaim their power and rebuild their self-esteem.

Reclaim your POWER

Divorce happens for a variety of reasons. While a toxic marriage can negatively impact self worth, the stress of a divorce can be equally traumatic. 

With boudoir photography, women are given the opportunity to regain their power. How so? It starts with giving women the space to reclaim their humanity. During a boudoir photo session, women are in complete control of their own bodies and they decide the rules. They decide the stories they want to tell. They leave the studio feeling like they can do anything.

Finding You Again

One of the common side effects of a divorce is a loss of identity, even a loss of a sense of purpose.

One way boudoir photography allows women to own their narratives is by defining what those narratives are during a session. With the help of an amazing photographer, women become the protagonists who shape the direction of their stories in whichever way they are comfortable. There is no right or wrong way to tell a story. There is only the validity of the story being told and the lived reality of the person who forged that story.

Get That Confidence back!

Boudoir Photography helps build confidence by helping women feel comfortable with their own bodies and redefine what it means to be sexy. During a boudoir session, women gain the unique experience of having their existence validated with the utmost respect they deserve, most importantly, they get to be sexy for themselves.

At Richele Renea Photography, we’re here to serve as a steppingstone to the next chapter in your life’s journey following a divorce. Whether you come to reclaim your power, tell a story, or just want to rebuild your confidence, we’re here to give you the experience of a lifetime. To learn more or book a session with us, feel free to contact us at 716.244.0869 or drop us a line at our contact page.

It’s that time of year again and your significant other definitely wants some beautiful images of you. I have one date open (super soon) with 5 available spots. But that’s not even to cool part. By booking one of these spots, you will be put in a drawing for a chance to win 50% off of a full Glam Session! Hair and makeup will not be included in the mini sessions. I hope to see you in my studio very soon!
