Do you have people in your life who have one major storm going at all times? Coworkers, friends, relatives, it can be anyone in your circle who is the source of problems.

A boudoir shoot is a dream come true for many women--the culmination of self confidence and beauty. The time and effort that goes into the shoot, as well as the cost, can be daunting. No one wants to have anything but the best experience. Many women second guess their decision to go for a boudoir shoot, asking themselves, "Do I need to lose weight so I look beautiful?"

Be conscious of your facial expressions when you are on camera. Try to relax. You don't want to keep an unblinking stare or a contorted face because you are too nervous or tense. Amplify your emotions when you're on camera, especially when you are taking up the frame--you need to be interesting and engaging. Big teethy smiles and energetic facial expression can go a long way. Keep in mind that you can also apply your energy to calm and sultry faces too.
Whether you're meeting someone for the first time and want to break the ice, or you're just looking to have a little fun, it's always good to have a few pick up lines in your back pocket. Once upon a time I was a single lady and was hoping to attract more pickup lines my way. Alas those days are in the rear view mirror--except occasionally at the gym, school drop off, restaurants, while shopping for clothing, at the bookstore, at the beach with my children etc etc.
The diet cycle is a vicious one. It's like an unhealthy yo-yo that is mercilessly dragging you down, and the more weight you lose, the harder it becomes to break free. Some diets are so punishing they can only last a short period before the dieter has to quit, and binge on food to feel normal again--then gain weight and feel guilty and re-embark on a diet again! This cycle appears and reappears for many of us who are trying to look and feel our best.
Successful people know that it's okay to brag sometimes and that it can indeed be healthy to publicly pat yourself on the back. If you're feeling good about yourself, go ahead and brag to your friends or family. It's okay to boast when it is appropriate!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? Wrong. For many women, Mother’s Day is not a joyous occasion. Perhaps the day has never lived up to your expectations. Maybe you have a bad (or no) relationship with your mother. You may be mourning the loss of your mother or child. You’re in a power struggle with in-laws or you are a single mom with little or no family support in sight.

The benefits of being open emotionally are real, but what if your standards are too low before making yourself vulnerable to heartbreak? Falling in love quickly and often may place you at risk for unhealthy relationship experiences. The world is full of narcissists and it pays to be careful. Let's not make them any easier by giving into their games without any hesitation.
It is something that will last forever and be cherished by you both. What better way to feel confident and beautiful on your big day? And what better gift could he have received from the bride than boudoir photos taken by one of our professional photographers?
Boudoir photography is a style of artistic nude or semi-nude photography that celebrates the female form. The word boudoir comes from French and means "a woman's private sitting room, especially one in which to take one's clothes off." Boudoir photographs are often framed as sexy - but they can also be used as a reminder that every woman has a unique beauty.
