I think Mr. D will be mighty mighty pleased with his birthday gift this year.  Here’s some photos from a recent boudoir session in our Omaha studio:

Last Friday I had the pleasure of photographing six beautiful women in my studio.  One of them was a former client, who through a series of emails and a little serendipity, ended up scheduling a session with five of her friends.

That’s what’s happened to this blog.  Unfortunately we can only show a small portion of what we shoot around here

Today I’m doing some “research” by looking online at group boudoir possibilities.  Tomorrow five beautiful women will be in front of my lens trying to recreate something along the lines of this famous Herb Ritts portrait: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee278/Hadjou/HerbRitts.jpg  Wish me luck!

So in December I had a great boudoir portrait session in the studio. I wanted to show off the photos because they came out really well, but the client did not want me to publish her photos, which I respect completely. So I decided to re-create the same background and lighting set up that we’d used but with a different model. Then I thought about how most of my girlfriends haven’t had a good professional portrait taken since they were high school seniors and a fabulous idea was born. I invited them all over to the studio on New Years Eve and we had a glamorous photo shoot that was so much fun! Here are a few of my favorites from that night. I used the same posing and lighting techniques as I would in a boudoir session, but everyone was fully dressed and we took some fun group ones too.

I like to shoot on location, but the studio can be a lot of fun as well. Katherine and I had a lot of fun using different lighting set-ups and playing with some vintage opera gloves and a string of pearls.

One of the things I love about shooting boudoir portraits is how different every woman’s body is.  Simone has some of the most impressive arms and breasts of any woman I’ve ever met.  I love emphasizing whatever aspect makes each woman look most beautiful.  Whether it’s some gorgeous doe-eyes, shapely legs or a killer figure, everyone has their assets.

This is a rather popular pose, but it’s not easy to make happen.  Getting that stiletto to show required a lot of twisting from the model, but beauty is pain, right?

Shanti made my day! We were having fun taking portraits, she had a great collection of lingerie and props and all was going well. Towards the end of our shoot she asked me, “Hey I know it’s raining, but do you think we could go out on the fire escape anyway?” I was thrilled! It’s not everyday a beautiful girl wants to pose on a fire escape, four-stories up in the rain wearing a fishnet top and three-inch heels. Some days my job is just too much fun.
