Photographing a 1 year old is sort of like chasing a bullet shot out of a gun.  Pose?  Yup! You can pose them for 30 seconds or less, and nothing holds their attention span beyond a minute at best.   I shot 200 images to get what I deemed a successful hour shoot.

Saying “cheese” as mommy instructed.

Cute, calm, awww moment…. right.  I snapped. She immediately demanded to get down and headed for the door at a dead run.  Why?  Because she could.  It was there to explore.  I was exhausted, but driving off after the shoot I was smiling as I thought over the shoot.  Do it again in a heartbeat!!

In through the studio door  strolled this magnificent lady with no makeup.  Fantastic cheekbones, a hint of  sassy in her eyes, and just a gift of making you feel so at ease talking to her.  She bubbled over about her Shawn and her Keith.   i was immediately thinking of shoot ideas and poses.

We did the first shoot!  This is just a sampling.  Shooting with them was a dream.   A hint of a pose was all they needed to own it and make it their own.   I can’t wait to do it again!~~

The immediate assumption when Intimate or Boudoir photography is mentioned that nudity is the real description.  It is so not true.  While intimate photography can incorporate some nudity a better term for this style fo photography might be “Let;s Play Dress Up”.

In today’s world where we dress more casually it is fun to add a little “sexy” to the mix.  It has never been about what you can see. Instead it has always been about what you can only imagine!
