Boudoir iPhoneography

I photographed my business partner, Nicole's, boudoir session to celebrate her 24th birthday. To put a fun twist on it (and to verify what I already believed to be possible) I used my iPhone 6 rather than my pro gear. This is the second time I have done this (see the other iPhone shoot). The only photography tool I used was the cell phone. There weren't reflectors or flashes or assistants. Simplicity is my favorite.

I need to have her send me a photo of her room to share with you. A dark futon is on the left half, a light mattress on the right half, and mountains of clothes as far as the eye can see. By shifting the mountains and utilizing my mad Photoshop skills we got a final product of a darn clean looking room.

These are not the first boudoir photos I've taken, but these are the first that I have been given permission to share. Maybe someday I'll get to share boudoir photos taken on my real photography gear.

Laurel

I met the most lovely food blogger the other day. Her name is Laurel, and we ended up taking photos at Peixoto in Downtown Phoenix. We met up in the early morning, and the way the light was coming in was magical. No flash was used in the making of this shoot.

This hat blew my mind. Laurel looks so good in it, and it adds SO much interest to the image.

Can you believe Laurel's eyes?

Big news.....!

Everyone, I want you to meet Nicole. She is my first hired hand. Together, we are working to make photography a full-time deal. This is fantastic for me because I've been in Illinois, Italy, Phoenix never in one spot long enough to build up a customer base. Since I am in Phoenix for the foreseeable future we're going to build our clientele here.
