So, I have a couple of post production projects on my plate right now… but I just HAD to go ahead & post this shot. It was cracking me up!! This is Danielle & Rob and I photographed them this past weekend… in the FREEEEZZZING cold!! They were both gigantic troopers, and I’ll show you some more soon because there is some gorgeous goodies. They are both so beautiful & I had such a great time with them. They know downtown very well (of course, neither are actually from here like me)... me - not so great. I started down a one way street the wrong way while they were supposed to be following me. But I love shooting in downtown Raleigh because without fail something funny always happens when I’m shooting…

So, it took me a long time, but I am slowly switching to only prime lenses & hardly ever do I shoot above 1.8 any more. I learned photography at 3.5-4.0 zoom/variable lenses, but it took my dear friend Ken and others for me to realize that I could not get what I wanted without making a change. And yes, there’s about a million other changes I need to make & a million other things to learn. Boudoirs have actually been teaching me A TON about lighting, shooting, positioning, etc. It seems like every time I photograph a boudoir, I learn something new that I’m able to apply to other areas of my photography.
This is one of my bride’s that I’m working on this week. She is sooo fabulous.. I think she speaks for herself.

So, no, I might not have made it to Vegas, but I have been kicking some post production toosh this week!!! I love that!! Before wedding season hits, I’m hoping to be all caught up with boudoirs & the such… I’m beginning work on another boudoir today and she is just fabulous! I keep welling up with pride for these ladies as I edit because so many are incredibly intimidated at the thought of doing a boudoir session, but I haven’t had a lady yet that didn’t just rock the house by the end of the session. I really do think they are confidence builders. Until the next post, here’s a little taste of what I’m up to now-

Well, I am so sad because I didn’t make it to Vegas for the WPPI conference. I was supposed to be flying out at 6:00 Sunday morning, but ended up canceling at 2:00 Sunday morning. I’m very sad, but very sick so it’s good I’m sparing everyone else this terrible bug. Hopefully I’ll find something else to attend this year to keep up the inspiration.
Good news… I’m moving ahead on some work & here’s my subject this week. Boudoirs take quite a LARGE chunk of time to edit. This week it will take all week to get through 1 boudoir. BUT, I do have some exciting new things happening in the area of my boudoir photography. It may take a couple of months to expose the new venture, but I’ll keep you posted. It’s very exciting and I’ll be involving you in the development of it… I need opinions!
