Vendors

I would like to thank a few people who helped make our 1st ever boudoir marathon sessions such a success! And a special thanks goes out to my assistant Jen who fussed over the ladies, moved equipment around, cleaned up after us and a hundred other things that I couldn't do from behind the camera.

Hair/Make-up:
The staff from Michelle James provided on-location hair/make-up services for the marathon session. They are true artists, and they also provided beauty tips and tricks to the ladies as they did their hair and make-up. They are so much more than just a salon...they even have a full skin care menu of services including massages (and lunch if you get hungry!). I'll do a future blog post with a lot more details about their staff and services in a future blog post! In the meantime, call them to see how cool they are: 706.733.9424

Essential Oils:
The ladies who took advantage of the marathon special left with a little treat to help spice up their night when they went back home. Swissjust Consultant Heather Stanton shipped samples of the Jasmine essential oil, which I accidentally confirmed as beng highly effective.

Scensty:
One thing that everyone noticed as soon as they walked into the hotel room was the beautiful smell of the room, which added to the mood of the day. Thank you to Scentsy Director Cristie Ramirez, who provided an elegant warmer and specially selected Scentsy bar, which help fill the room with a beautiful fragrance.

Jewelry:
Guy and Eva jewelry pieces were on hand from Consultant Lori Hughes during the marathon sessions. Thank you so much Lori for trusting us with all your beautifully crafted jewelry!

Augusta Boudoir: Marathon Fun


These shots are from the first ever Augusta Boudoir Photography marathon. It was such a fun and high energy day! This is one of my marathon clients....she showed up at the crack of dawn and we truly had a fun time with her shoot. I know it was such a memorable and special day for her as well.

She loved the pictures, but it was something her husband said that really touched my heart....he said "Thank you for showing my wife how I've seen her for years". Thinking about his reaction brings tears to my eyes each time I think of it. That's the same type of response that soooo many husbands have!! It's not hard for husbands to see the value and beauty of boudoir.

I think that's one of the absolute BEST rewards of my job....I get to add a little more love, warmth and excitement to marriages! We can go ahead and add boudoir to the list of things that can help contribute to a healthy marriage!







I love these shots below....they make me laugh because I remember how funny this moment was, and how much fun the entire day was!

Boudoir Photography Augusta, Georgia: Mrs. Rock it!

For pricing/session information go to the Augusta Boudoir website: www.augustaboudoir.com

My mouth dropped when Mrs. R showed walked through the door for her mini session that was part of my first ever marathon event at a hotel. I could tell she had done this before, and I was right..modeling is part of her resume. Lucky me!! She sat down & we didn't look back. She is Mrs. R as in Mrs. Rock It!

I would never have guessed that she is the mom of three! If only I could look like her....I have 3 kids, but my body actually looks like a 3-kid body!!!

She had a vision for some very specific shots that involved the hotel bar, and we completely nailed it to make her vision a reality. I was so pleased with the results, even though these are not my tyical "style", I am very proud of the images because they turned out nicely.





Even though I have a boudoir studio, I really enjoy shooting at hotels because of the variety in backgrounds. Sorry, but I just don't have a jumbo sized jacuzzi whirlpool tub at my studio. That would be a nice addition, but don't hold your breath...it's not in the plans anytime soon! If you want to book your session at a hotel, the cost of the hotel needs to be paid at least 7 days in advance so I can make sure there is enough time to make reservations. It's an extra expense, but it's also extra fun and you'll love all the options for different looks in your images!
