2009 was the year I reignited (nice word choice, yes?!) my Boudoir Photography!  It had been quite a while since I had really focused (pun in tended!) on this aspect of my art and with the insistence of my friend Elizabeth Craig we rocked out quite a few sessions together! It was FUN!  The women we photographed were fun to work with, Elizabeth and I had a blast, and our good friend and stellar makeup artist, Rachael Ryan of Ryan Makeup put on the glam for our models! 

Yes, that was the operative word: FUN!  It's the whole point of the sessions - to encourage a little fun and excitement for couples, or to celebrate the vivacious and sexy side of women for themselves!  Nothing like a beautiful image of you when you are looking and feeling your absolute sexiest, right?!  Whether it is for you or for someone you love.

Here's a collage of some of my favorites:

Elizabeth and I have a Mini Boudoir Gala upcoming on January 10, 2010, however those sessions are currently booked in full.  If you'd like to arrange a private boudoir session photographed by myself, please don't hesitate to email or call!

If you've been thinking about what to get your significant other for Christmas or Valentine's Day, we have an elegant and fun solution for you!

On Wednesday, November 4, 2009 and January Sunday, January 10, 2010, we will be holding a Boudoir Gala here in Pittsburgh where you will have the opportunity to be photographed by two Award-winning Professional Photographers.  The end result will be artistic and glamorous images of you presented in a beautiful book as a gift for yourself, or yours for giving!

YOUR MINI BOUDOIR GALA SESSION INCLUDES:
Each woman arrives with her hair styled as they wish to be photographed and receives:
Makeup applied by a Professional Makeup Artist.
Up to two outfit changes for the shoot.
30 minute Intimates/Boudoir Shoot with either Joanne or Elizabeth.
A 5x4 Gift Book that will be descretely delivered for the holiday of choice.
All high-resolution images presented on disc that include printing rights.
INVESTMENT: $300 with a $100 retainer that is required to reserve your space for the Gala.

NOTE: We understand that your privacy is of the utmost importance to you at the Gala so we have staggered each mini-session with your privacy in mind. Each woman will arrive 1/2 hour prior to their scheduled session for makeup.   After makeup, we'll begin your mini-session in a private session with myself or Elizabeth only.  And if you'd like to bring a close girlfriend for moral support, please feel comfortable to do so!

Here is what one of the women photographed had to say about her session:
"I have already raved to most everyone I know (*except my husband) that they HAVE to do this and that you are the women to see!!  I had so much fun, I would definitely do it again...every day if I could!  :)  I just can't tell you enough how grateful I am.  You do sooo much more than just take pictures; you really change how a girl sees herself, and that is such a gift!"  *She didn't rave to her husband because the session was a surprise for their 1st Anniversary!

This is an exclusive event and only 40 women can participate.  For more information, or to reserve your session, contact Elizabeth Craig via phone: 724.355.9079, or by clicking HERE.
