If you’ve ever considered quitting your job to do what you love, following your passion, and starting and owning a business of your own then you hear me out first! I’ll let you know what it’s been like to start a luxury/boutique business; creating high-end photography based artwork for women in the Greater Toronto Area.
I’ll be the first to say that photo sessions are unique, meaningful gifts which are great for that special lady in your life. However, in conversation I’ve heard about a husband giving his wife a boudoir session as a gift. The moment I heard about it so many red flags went off in my mind. Whether you’re a husband, wife, partner, boyfriend, or girlfriend let me give you some things to consider before you gift a boudoir session to your significant other.
Modern portrait photography is more than taking a pretty picture of a woman. It’s about capturing who she is. That may seem easy, but if you’ve even been in front of a camera you know how you immediately tense up and become acutely aware of every movement you make. It suddenly becomes hard to “just be yourself”. Take a behind-the-scenes look at being in front of the camera…
What makes some portrait photography so timeless? Why can you look at a photo that was taken years, or even decades ago and not be able to pinpoint when it was taken. Sure, there could be some photographic styles that give it away, but there are ways of ensuring art portraits remain beautiful and timeless. So what are the things that age a photo and how are they avoided so that generations can look at a photo and appreciate it without chiding it for it’s “oldness”.
The reason you don’t like photos taken of you may be because you don’t think you’re photogenic. I’m not about to tell you that it isn’t true, but I will tell you that you (and everyone else) can look great in photos too!
Some of the women I meet wonder just what it’s like to be in front of the camera. They ask how artistic we could possibly get and how many different looks might we be able to capture? Lauren (the beautiful lady in all the photos) showed me a exquisite gold and green dress that she owned. I thought it was breathtaking the moment I saw it and with that we spent an afternoon capturing her in as many ways possible. If you want to see all the looks you can pull off with just one dress then get ready to be inspired. I’ve named this series One Dress of Many Frames.
Portrait photography isn’t something women are typically looking for. On the other hand, there are always lots of occasions where women will search for great engagement, wedding, newborn, and family photographers (usually in that order). Some women know that they want to celebrate themselves and a special occasion for a session is never necessary. Want to know the benefits these women see in having their photo taken by a professional photographer? You’ll be able to decide whether artistic portrait photography is something you may have been missing out on! You may even surprise yourself!
