Sweet Baby Charlotte…

It is such a blessing to be able to capture chapters of people’s lives for them. It is even more of a blessing when one of those people is a dear, dear friend as well.

Charlotte was born to Emily & Michael at the end of April. When she was 8 days old, I went over to their house – in the midst of all the sw*ne flu hype, house sessions made even more sense, but I always like to photograph newborns at home so that it is easier on mom & dad. That way we can be comfy, take our time, and just enjoy the whole process. If they need to stop to nurse or whatever, it is easy.

I posted a lot more photos over on my other blog but I wanted to share these special ones here because they aren’t just about Charlotte. They are about Emily too, and the bond they will always share.

It was a good day, and I am very humbly blessed to have been a part of this time in their lives. Thank you, Emily & Michael, and especially Charlotte for being a fabulous model!

I think the one below is my favorite from the day. Something about how safe & secure Charlotte looks there. Blissfully at peace.

Boudoir Photography IS Cool!

3 Comments on Boudoir Photography *IS* Cool!

Just spotted this article on MSNBC about boudoir photography being an awesome gift to give someone or to empower yourself, and it is so very, very true! I’ve had clients of all shapes, sizes, ages – married, single, engaged, just dating. Some do it for themselves. Others do it for their special someone in their life. Even when the purpose is a gift, they all leave talking about how good they feel about themselves.

The best was when I was told by one client that people always tell her she is pretty, but she doesn’t think she is so she just blows it off. (I think all women can relate to that in some form.) When she first saw her images, she told me that it was through them that she could finally see why people tell her that she is beautiful.

That was seriously an amazing moment for me. To know that I could do that for someone … so wonderful!

Boudoir Mon Cheri has opened a lot of doors that I never expected – many I never even thought about. It has been so wonderful. I now plan to use the same skills that I use for boudoir photography for maternity sessions as well, starting later this spring. I can’t wait! Want to be my model for the portfolio? Let me know!

The Grand Opening specials are in effect through the end of April, and they are not limited to the Houston area. I travel for very, very reasonable rates! Just in case you were wondering…

I posted last night about Brooke’s Bridal Portrait session in October over on the wedding photography site. While I’m trying not to double post everything over here as well, it is important to note that with this wedding which took place on Saturday, we’ve now wrapped up the 2008 wedding season! Whoo hoo!

The total rundown of the year is below.

I just posted images from one of my recent engagement sessions over at the wedding photography site – Leah & Ryan live in Louisiana, and they came into town for the 4th of July and we scheduled their shoot for while they were here. It was hot, but we still had a fabulous time! I love so many of the photos – I had a hard time narrowing down which ones to post!

Kate & John’s Wedding!

Oh goodness, how much I adored working with Kate & John – their wedding last weekend was gorgeous! Want to see more from their big day? Check out the full post!

While I don’t normally get into editing my photos too extreme – I like to keep the colors natural – I decided to play a bit with this one, and I’m pretty thrilled with the results!
