Boudoir Studio North Atlanta Georgia

As the only Gainesville Georgia boudoir studio (north of Atlanta), I hear from clients from many backgrounds but the common ground is a need and a desire to feel better about themselves.  On first glance boudoir photography may just seem like a provocative photo shoot for your other half, something kinky and fun to spice up your love life but let me tell you first hand -- it's not.  I've been photographing incredible women through boudoir sessions since 2008, when it wasn't as accepted as it is today.  I've also had two sessions of my own.  This IS a life changing event.  This IS an experience for YOU and it WILL help you to self-love and appreciate yourself the way you should.

Why Miss B needed a boudoir session:

"I've always struggled with body image issues.  I was never overweight, I was just obsessed with staying as thin as possible.  I started dieting at around twelve years old and basically did anything I had to do (including starve myself or binge/purge) to stay small.  When I was in college I worked at a gym, and started dating a guy I met there.  He got me into weight lifting and I loved it.  We eventually broke up but I continued to lift for several more years, until I got married and had kids. After having my children I would always get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (or close to it) but I never had the muscle definition that I did when I was lifting.  I would just diet and do cardio.  We recently updated our home gym, and I started lifting again back in March.  I have wanted to do a boudoir shoot for years but just kept putting it off; until I was in better shape, had the money, etc.  So since I've been working out steadily for over three months now, I wanted to do this sort of as a reward, but also as motivation to see how far I've come and to continue so as not to waste any progress I've made so far.  Also, because when I'm older I don't want to look back and wish I had done it and not kept putting it off.  After years of being obsessed with a number on a scale, or a the size of my jeans, I'm finally focused on being healthy and strong and taking care of my body.  So I would like my session to reflect that in a way, if possible."

Strong is sexy.  Healthy is sexy.

As a RN, a woman, and someone who struggled with eating disorders for many years I can tell you that an eating disorder will NEVER make you feel better about yourself no matter how thin you are.  If you are struggling with significant body image issues to the point of starvation or binging/purging you will need professional guidance and support to get you to a better place and I am in no way implying that boudoir photography is a magical thing that will fix something so severe.  However, I will testify that once you are on a healing path you could benefit from an empowering and uplifting experience such as boudoir photography.

Oooooo it just makes my heart SO happy when I hear back from my clients and their session literally changed their life.  Here's what Miss T had to say...

Was there a reason you booked a boudoir session?  How long have you wanted to do it?

"I had gained some weight after having my son. I hit the point where I said enough is enough. I got a trainer and made it my fitness goal to lose weight, feel better about me, and to reward my efforts with a boidoir session. I spent about 6 months working on myself and losing almost 30 lbs. During that time, the shoot was my motivation to be my best self again."

Were you nervous at all?  If so, what helped you to overcome those nerves and/or fears the most?

"I was definitely nervous. I had never had professional hair and makeup done or walked around in front of a stranger half naked before either.  Jennifer made me feel so comfortable. We went through the questionnaire together to confirm what parts of me I wanted to focus on and what areas made me uncomfortable. She went through my outfits with me. Everything was laid back like a girl's night out. She helped direct all the poses so I didn't have to worry about a thing."

Was the response you received on the images what you expected?  Better than you expected?

"The response was better than expected. I was amazed at how many photos I loved of ME! My husband loved them. Even my friends were super supportive and thought they turned out amazing."

What was your favorite part of the experience?

"My favorite parts were being all done up like a model and seeing the beautiful end results at the reveal."

Are you still high on life from the self esteem boost this session gave you?

"I still keep looking at the images of myself daily and still in awe of the experience. My husband is proud of me for accomplishing so many goals as a part of this experience. I'm proud of myself too!"

What would you say to other women who are contemplating a boudoir session but may have hesitations?

"I would say this is a must have experience. Add this to your bucket list and cross it off! We beat ourselves up so much and we don't appreciate ourselves enough as women or as mothers. We are amazing as we are and what better way of showing it by showing that we can be powerful, sexy, fun, and vulnerable all at the same time."

Final words...

"I feel more confident and sexy now. I can do whatever I want to do and I am my only limitation.  Thank you so much for this experience, for your expertise, for making me feel right at ease, and for giving me something I can carry with me as a reminder of how great it is to be a woman inside and out!"

Bridal Boudoir Photographer | North Georgia

If you haven't already read my blog about why bridal boudoir would rock your socks, do it now!  Bridal boudoir is thee sexiest, hottest gift you could possibly give your groom (and yourself)!

Meet Miss K, she's an out of state client that blew me away with her beauty and ability to throw all self doubt out the window after just a few shots.  This gorgeous woman has struggled with body dysmorphia for many years, which is unfortunately a very common thing.  We're told as young girls how we "should be" and even though we're perfect just the way we are, we sometimes don't believe it.  I hope I helped you to feel better about yourself... judging by the amount of photo's you ordered I think I did! :)  This life is a journey and we have to help each other, we have to heal each other... #girlpower anyone?

Hot Mama | Atlanta Boudoir

Miss T won the Mothers Day Giveaway I ran this year, I had some incredibly moving emails from mothers who all deserved a session and wish I had the availability to offer it to everyone that applied.  So, home girl came into the studio... has NEVER had professional hair and make up done -- not even for her wedding.  I was SO excited to have Staci Gibb's glam her up and give her this red carpet supermodel experience... and when I say she rocked it, SHE ROCKED IT!  She actually saw my boudoir marathon posted a few months back and made it her fitness goal to get in shape and do a shoot... well girl... all your squats have paid off!

I absolutely love having this space, I never thought I'd find a studio outside of Atlanta with this much character.  Thankfully, Miss T has just as much of an appreciation for the girlie side and all things vintage...

Premier Boudoir Studio Gainesville Georgia

What an AMAZING opening week!  I am so excited to continue photographing in this beautiful space and introducing women to Gainesville's premier boudoir studio.  Last week I photographed three beautiful women, who all had different and equally moving reasons as to why they chose to do a boudoir session with me.  I'll share their stories over the next few days, but first I wanted to share mine.

My purpose? My reason why? Its simple: I believe it's time to overcome the ancient views of sexuality and the double standards we all learn growing up. Girls are taught to abstain from sex while boys are given condoms (I am NOT advocating kids having sex...). Women are shunned for showing pictures in swim suits but men can post topless gym pictures no big deal, etc.

It's time to own your sexuality and redefine the view of what sexy is. This is a life changing event, an investment in yourself and your happiness.

Women come to the studio with a vision of what they want, it's my job to push your boundaries and expand your views to make this an incredible experience. Most clients think they want the light and fluffy pictures, but once they see their images 90% of the products I create include images where I pushed them past their comfort zone. Yes they're suggestive, yes they're raw, but they're also beautiful and empowering. They're not pornographic. I never have a client touch themselves - I use angles to make it appear that way.

Women need to feel beautiful, we need to feel desired and appreciated. We can do all that for ourselves through a boudoir session PLUS if you have a partner they will have a new appreciation and desire for you as well. Once you see yourself through my lens, you'll see a whole new side you never knew existed.

Mothers often tell me prior to booking how guilty they feel spending this time and money on themselves - but when is the last time you did something special just for you? I'm not talking a hair style or manicure... most women can't recall the last time. Imagine if money wasn't a factor, would you do it then?

Mirrored Images Boudoir is the only boudoir studio in Gainesville Georgia.   This is my specialty, my passion, and my mission. I've been photographing boudoir since 2008 and know exactly what each client needs and how to get them there.

Whether you love or hate what I do, you're still going to talk about it. I invite you to open your mind and own your sexuality.

"The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description."

(Hey... Thats me!) Photo credit: Cotton Rouge Photo 

Believe it or not, posting my own images was difficult. You'd think because I have done this for so long it wouldn't be but I've had body image issues since I was a teenager and struggled with eating disorders multiple times throughout my life. In 2010 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had my thyroid removed and my weight was uncontrollable.

A year ago I photographed Katie and backed out of my session with her... I "wanted to tone" and "drop 10 pounds." I said all the things to her that I talk my clients through on a regular basis. This past week Katie and I photographed each other and I pushed through the doubts I had and completely let her take over. Not only did I feel beautiful during the session, but seeing myself after... and my boo's reaction... I wish I did it a year ago and I can't wait to do it again.

If I don't practice what I preach my words hold no weight. I believe in what I do, I believe in the incredible experience it offers women and I believe that all women need to spend more time loving and appreciating themselves.

Boudoir Studio | Gainesville Georgia Boudoir

Ooooooooo this boudoir studio --- I'm so happy with how it's turning out!  Here's some quick progress pictures (and if I can control myself it'll be thee last progress picture until the big reveal in August!  Haven't heard?  We're having a Ladies Night In Studio Grand Opening event on August 18th... click me!)

I have sessions booked through the Ladies Night In -- and CANNOT wait to get ladies in here and start shooting!  T-minus 1 week!

My man has been working on this space every day; hanging decor, picking up supplies, rewiring things, setting up the TV (for the MOST awesome in personal reveals), painting.... the list goes on and on.  I am so blessed to have this man, our teenager (who has to be bribed with FroYo to help and still pouts), and the opportunity to share this space and my love for boudoir photography with everyone.

Bridal boudoir, yes it's a thing and it's a thing that your man will LOVE.  Many of my clients contact me to reignite their love spark and do a boudoir shoot many years into their marriage.  What if you did a bridal boudoir session to jump start your new life and document this milestone?  There will be a glow on your face and happiness in your smile; all because of the magical day you're approaching and it WILL show in the boudoir photographs.  You're already preparing for the wedding, likely dieting and working out among other things... celebrate and document your hard work!  A boudoir session is the ultimate gift for your groom on your wedding day, plus what better time to go lingerie shopping?!  Hello honeymoon hotness!

"I don't have the time."  -- I hear this from brides who are planning their weddings and don't think they can take a break from it.  Why not pamper yourself?  You deserve a day off from planning and chaos, a day to embrace and love yourself.  I guarantee you that you will feel rejuvenated after seeing how incredible you look.  You'll come to the studio and get your hair & make up done, I'll go through the outfits you've brought with you and decide on the best options, we have wine & music... all your nerves will be gone and you'll LOVE it (so much that you'll likely book me for a repeat sesh).  We'll keep the fact that this is actually a gift to yourself a secret.

I do not recommend arranging for a boudoir session on the morning of your wedding, the session should be planning 6-8 weeks ahead of your wedding date so that there is plenty of time for products to be designed and printed.

"I don't have anything to wear." -- Well, that's okay because brides wear white and I have plenty of white sheets!  Plus, lets be real for a moment: most brides buy cute panties or robes that say "bride" on them, or a tank with something related to the wedding.  I'll help you decide what's the best option for your bridal boudoir shoot.  I have an entire guide dedicated to helping you prepare, shop, and execute this session plus I've been a boudoir photographer since 2008 so I have the experience to guide you through it.

"Where?" -- this is the easy part.  My studio is located @ 800 Georgia Ave #5 in Gainesville GA.  It is romantic, vintage, dreamy and sexyyyyy.  Boudoir photography is offered at the studio or can be done at a location you choose.  Some brides have requested the session be at the same location as their wedding venue, that's totally fine with me!  I love getting out of the studio and exploring new space.

"Can I just add it on to my wedding photography?" -- Yes, I'm sure you can.  I'm sure your wedding photographer also offers boudoir and you will likely get a package rate.  Mirrored Images Boudoir specializes in boudoir photography.  As a photographer, posing people to look their best is a skill you achieve over time BUT posing someone who is wearing little to no clothing and using lighting and angles to maximize the best possible look for each woman that comes into my studio... that's something that took years of shooting, education and workshops to master.  I believe boudoir photography should be done only by those who are passionate about it because it translates into your images and your finished products.  I actually removed wedding photography from my services this year because I know there are photographers who are more passionate about weddings than I am and my focus is 100% boudoir.

Side note: Are you trying to think of a fun and unique way to celebrate with your girls for your bachelorette party?  This is the ultimate Girls Night Out event.  Here's how it works: The bride sets up a party date with Mirrored Images Boudoir, at the studio.  She can invite up to 10 girls (if you need to invite more than 10 that's fine but we need notice!), if 4 girls attend the bride gets her shoot FREE but if 8+ attend the bride gets a FREE shoot and a FREE 6x6 little black book!  So, your girls have the opportunity to give YOU a present which is also a gift for the hubs.  That's pretty magical, right?  Also, if the bride isn't coordinating this party, we'll give a $100 credit to the lovely lady that is.  Do you want to make it a theme?  We can do that too!  Previous theme have been pin-up, vampire, career specific (teacher, nurse, etc)... lets use our imagination.

Ultimately, I recommend bridal boudoir for the same reason I do any boudoir session... you deserve to see yourself as beautiful as everyone else sees you.  Boudoir photography is an incredibly vulnerable form of photography, but it is the most rewarding to my clients.  I work with women of all ages, shapes and sizes and 90% of my clients have absolutely no experience in front of the camera.  Your transformation from your initial email requesting information to when you receive the product is one that no other form of photography can do for you.  I guarantee you that after your session with me you will love yourself and appreciate your body for what it is.  You will find your sexy and you will be totally empowered on a natural high that you never knew existed.

In 10, 20, 30 years you are going to look back on these images, pat yourself on the back and say, "I did this!"

I have done multiple bridal boudoir photo shoots since starting boudoir photography in 2008.  This, along with regular boudoir photography, is a very private and intimate session and I only receive permission to use certain photos which is why I don't have many for you to look at.  Please schedule a private consultation with me if you'd like to see more.

Ladies Night | Studio Grand Opening Gainesville GA

Ladies, check out this LADIES NIGHT event on facebook: Studio Grand Opening, Gainesville GA.

Eventbrite listing will allow you to reserve your mini make over session ahead of time.  I want to be a supermodel!

RSVP to the event itself or shootme@mirroredimages.net

If you don't have facebook here are the details:

Ladies! You do NOT want to miss this event.

You asked for a girls night in... you asked for a make up demo. Well, you're getting that and SO much more.

To celebrate the Grand Opening of Mirrored Images Boudoir studio in Gainesville we are planning a fun, memorable and totally girlie night in.

Katie Cotton, lady boss of Cotton Rouge & Co (make up and hair) and Cotton Rouge Photo (boudoir photography) is joining us from Greenville SC to do a live make up demo. She has been my friend since I started boudoir many years ago and it wouldn't be a party without her! She will also be offering mini make overs to every girl for $50 and I will give a complimentary head shot . Please RSVP in advance if this is something you're interested in so she can bring additional make up artists if needed. My local make up artist, Staci Gibbs will be there to meet everyone too.

The make up demo is to start at 7:30 PM and shortly after we will have a LIVE boudoir demo so you ladies can see what this experience is all about! Don't worry, she'll have clothing on ;) Enjoy some wine or a cocktail while you sit back and watch the show.

Every lady that attends will receive a goodie bag packed with savings from local vendors that you are guaranteed to LOVE as much as I do. But, the best gift you'll get from this night is a ONE NIGHT ONLY Grand Opening special for boudoir photography that will only be announced and sold at the event.

Please RSVP by Aug 4th, bring friends (ladies only) but they must RSVP too. If you do not RSVP you may not get a goodie bag and that would be tragic!

Music, make up, wine, boudoir, savings, promotions, good times with your girls... what else could you want? Fun surprises in store for the ladies that attend... ;)

 

Can't wait to see ya'll there!

 

 


West Palm Beach Photographer | Summer Lovin'

You show me love, I'll show you love. Sounds like a match made in heaven, huh? After a bit of down time, some mid day naps, and all nighter dates with me and handsome movie stars (okay... so I was watching movies, but I can dream right?) I decided I am going to dive head first into photography this summer. I'm enrolling in Fall classes and photography is going to be my lil love affair on the side until I reach my goal of being a Physician Assistant (5-6 years from now....)

Okay so here's the deal. You want free stuff? Well, I want to give you free stuff. There's no signing up, no contest, no rules. You talk to your friends who are going through moments that need memories (pictures) and you get a free session for yourself or to give to a loved one. It doesn't matter if it's a wedding, maternity, newborn, boudoir, engagement, trash the dress, singles profiles online, or whatever else you can come up with. If you think someone is in (or should be in) the market for a photographer you pass my info along and after the completion of their session you get one too! ANNNNND if that's not good enough, the friend you refer will get $75 off their session + a complimentary 10x13 print! Wooooooooo that's good stuff. You should get on face book and twitter and share the news so you can all start collecting on this madness.

Let do this!


Palm Beach Photographer | Another year, another logo

I'm sure you've heard of "Another day, another dollar."  In my case, it's "Another year, another logo."  I've changed my logo... five times, I think.  I honestly can't remember.  This whole self discovery, be who you are, brand who you be thing has taken me on a never ending journey of finding what I love.  What sessions do I enjoy the most, what does the public perceive as my best work, does my logo appeal to who I am trying to market to, does my overall brand speak highly of myself and what I have to offer.... the questions go on and on and on...

My best work is also what I enjoy the most.  I love making women feel empowered and I've found that three sessions in particular do just that.  Boudoir, maternity, and newborn. Funny mix, I know, I've been told a time or two.  But for me it all makes sense.

  • Boudoir showcases your power, beauty, vulnerability, lust, love, sex appeal, emotions, and desires... it's intoxicating.
  • Many people refer to pregnant women as the most beautiful.  To carry a piece of yourself and the person you love, the anticipation, the excitement of picking out names, bedding, clothes, and strollers.  Most of all, knowing you love that baby with all of your being and you haven't even met yet.  That's empowering.
  • Here's where people get lost.  How does newborn fit in to making women feel empowered?  Well, after I rock your new additions first photo shoot and you show off the pictures to your friends, family, co-workers, strangers at the super market.... they'll all tell you how beautiful your baby is and how you did a wonderful job.  You'll brag about your newbie and never feel bad about it!

This is what I love, this is who I am.  These are the sessions I get giddy over.  Of course, I love other sessions and weddings as well but these three are my main market.

There's actually a discussion in a photography group I am part of about this very subject.  Should we as photographers separate our specialities so we don't offend anyone?  Will the boudoir photographs I have in my gallery offend the soon to be mom that is viewing my work for her maternity and newborn sessions?  Will the newborn photographs turn off the bride that wants me to document her most important day of her life?  Personally, I don't think it will.  We (photographers) each have an ideal client that we want to work with and I've been extremely lucky to have had so many wonderful clients.  As a client you need to love my work because I am my work and if you don't love it, you won't love me.  I've used this analogy in the past; Your photographer is like a weddings dress.  Your dress needs to be a perfect fit and you need to fall in love with it, because if you don't you won't shine.  If you don't love your photographer, you won't shine either.

I stumbled on my designer through another friend photographer that she did some work for.  Rachel from Beyond Bliss Design has been an absolute pleasure to work with.  She's creative, fast, determined, and hard working.  I'm a very indecisive person, she's had to deal with that for not only the logo design but the blog redesign.  I love it.  I really, truly do Rachel.  She took my crazy combination of specialties and showcased them with a design that would appeal to all AND was able to add in the vintage, organic, clean look that I love.  Thank you for listening to me :)  I've had a lot of compliments and I hope I can send some fellow photog's your way!  While you're here take a look around and leave your  thoughts in the comments section.  I'd love to hear it!

Lets wrap this grammy award speech up.  My self discovery journey isn't over yet but this is who I strive to be.  I want to be the photographer that makes women feel and look beautiful.  I'm not a female rights activist by any means, but I do believe in the empowerment of being a woman.  We're kind of a big deal is this world.

A few other changes worth mentioning:  I've changed my client proofing software.  I had a few complaints about the flash site not loading, so I found something better and easier for orders.  Those that had galleries on the flash site, they're still there.  I've moved two to the new site, so check your email!  Also, I've updated my post-session preview appointments and I have something fabulous in store for you.  Ever wonder what your photographs would look like on your wall before you bought them?  I can make it happen :)

I'm looking for a local non-profit to do some volunteer shoots for.  Some of my long time fans know I attempted to start "Portraits for Heros" while living in South Carolina but the economy was at its worst and I didn't have the support I needed.  I'd love to get involved, so please pass my information along if an event, tribute, or family in need needs some pick-chas.  I've been involved in Shriners Hospital (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star through USA Dance), Breast Cancer (Images for a Cure), Light the Night (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), and Wounded Warriors.

Good night!
