Plan on a Boudoir or Glamour Session

What better gift for your beloved than a sensuous portrait of you looking your romantic best? It’s also a great gift to yourself to capture your best look professionally for posterity.

Boudoir, or glamour photography is not a new concept but is finding a resurgence during the last couple of years. A boudoir shot could reveal a candid  playful shot of you alone or one with your special man. Whether you choose  a playful romantic picture in feminine lingerie or a playful seductive look in your favourite blue jeans and a lace top; your photographer’s goal should be to capture your expressions and feelings.

Boudoir is intimate and before you begin, you should select a photographer who makes your feel relaxed and at ease. Many photographers work with an assistant or encourage you to bring a friend or family member with you so you will feel comfortable.

Before you begin, ask your photographer to outline exactly what the session will include. Find out how much time you will need, what special services the time will include and of course what the charge will be. Some sittings include professional hair and make-up sessions and a number of clothing changes.  There may be special props, or backgrounds you may wish to use, as well a selection of clothing.

Your finished boudoir session can be turned into a beautiful gift. A wall canvas  is the most popular but a personal calendar with different poses for each month is a fun way to give your spouse a special wedding gift.

Many of our Windsor|Essex County area professionals offer this service and the results are spectacular and capture you at this place in time, during your engagement.

 

 

Weddings - Windsor Ontario, The Wedding Guide - We SPOTTED THIS TREND IN JANUARY 2009!

It was in early January that I wrote about upcoming trends for 2009 weddings.

Today, I tripped on an article online about Vintage Hollywood Tops Trends and lo and behold, it was all about the glamour and chic of days gone by;  talking about everything vintage from rings to dresses.

The recreation of the Hollywood look is quite simple and understated. The details of the dress are second only to the bride’s face as the focal point. Fabrics are stunning in silk, which can be draped creating a shapely look.

The rings are self-designed making that personal signature statement. This gives a unique look, making for a one-of-a-kind creation.

Hair is wavy and long but sculpted into shape, sans the stiffness of times gone by.

I’m going to keep following this vintage trend and see whether it has legs for the rest of the year.

If old is new- then brides today have an opportunity to capture the mood of the MGM and Metro Goldwyn movie studios of the 1950′s diva age of Hollywood.

Today’s stars are setting the tone of this new feel for brides and the future will tell if bridal style will follow.
