{Review} Plainfield Boudoir Photography

The Knot
Overly satisfied!!! 

     For the longest time, I have been wanting to do a Boudoir shoot for my fiance, whether it was a Christmas gift, Valentine's Day, etc. When I came across Jenny's ad on the back of the Wedding Chicago catalog, I decided to check her out. Greatest thing I did! Some places, it's meeting a random stranger at their house or renting a hotel room. Jenny has her own business location and you come to her. I was lucky enough to meet her prior to my shoot at a Bridal Trends expo she had at her business. I INSTANTLY felt comfortable! I even encouraged a friend to sign up to do a shoot that night as well. 

     Two weeks after was my shoot. I was greeted by Dimitra, my hair and make up stylist for the day. I was extremely nervous that day. Dimitra was extremely pleasant and professional. She asked me about what kind of look I usually aware. I am, if I'm lucky enough to have even time for that, a mascara and chapstick kind of girl! I told her I was her canvas and to feel free to do what she sees fit. I am BEYOND glad she did. When I looked in the mirror, I was dumb founded! I say I am pretty confident (with clothes on) but that just boosted my self esteem. A HUGE THANK YOU to Dimitra!!!

       Next, I went to get ready in my 1st outfit, had a wardrobe malfunction, nervous feelings came soaring back but Jenny soothed them over and helped me overcome my flustered emotions. By the 2nd outfit, my confidence was back in full swing. I was sad that the hour went by so fast! It was an amazing experience I will not forget! Jenny emailed me the following week saying my gallery was ready. I was speechless!!! I was extremely satisfied with how the pictures came out and struggled to pick which ones I wanted. I can't wait to give my fiance his "just because" present. I can guarantee that my next session for his groom's gift and many more after that will definitely be the bigger package!! TRUST ME!! You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you, Jenny!!

{Pretty Posts} ...... Examples of Lingerie for Your Boudoir Shoot


     One of the most exciting parts of planning your boudoir session is picking out your outfits!!  Will you take a more sultry approach? sexy? seductive? innocent? playful? or will you add a thematic? Whichever way(s) you choose to go, this is the perfect occasion to go shopping!!!!! {gotta love it!}

     As you begin your search, you will find there are many sources of intimate apparel: department stores, boutiques, and provocative shops. As there are also many types of lingerie: babydolls, sets, camisoles, chemise, nighties, slips, teddies, and many many more. I strongly recommend starting at the boutiques and maybe dabble in the big department stores that carry the higher-end brands. Determine the best type of lingerie that flatters your body type.

     Here are three current examples of brands and some of their styles for this summer, maybe these will inspire you on your search.




     Inspired by iconic Parisian fashion and crafted with a nod to European couturiers, the Victoria's Secret Designer Collection for 2012 has a seductive and flirty feel. The ultra-feminine and timeless style flatters many body types. The delicate babydoll (far left) offers a ruffle halter top with a great A-line, perfect for the curvy gal. The next, a balconet bra and matching panty adds a flirty accent on the curves of a woman. The lace halter teddy in black is a perfect fit for petite or really slim girls. The belt adds a great waist line and the halter elongates the bodice. The chemise on the far right has a perfectly elegant touch with the sheer overlay, perfect for the subtle seductive look.



     Pictured are some of their newest arrivals that I found on their website. The blue Parisienne push-up creates drama in the neckline for those of us with a smaller bust line. The Ciao Bella garter belt (second from the left) shown with a matching panty is a divine choice for a bride-to-be. The next lingerie set lives up to its name, Flirt Alert, with its colorful satin trim that simply jumps and adds great pop to boudoir photos. I really adore the scalloped top of the red bustier and matching hipsters; it adds a truly sexy appeal that hides delicately behind the dainty bows. 



     Elle Macpherson is a namesake in intimate apparel. Her monochromatic elegance is timeless. The newest collection clearly shows this motto in its unique details. The renaissance lace on the brassier and panty set (far left) adds a geometric and modern appeal to the soft lines of the pale pink color. The blue outfit offers a more structured and Parisienne couture to intimate apparel. It adds a nice little boost to the bustline. All of you lovely ladies will feel comfortable in the pink chamise slip pictured above. Slips are a great "beginner lingerie" or at least a great place to start when trying to determine your best fit lingerie type. The vintage bra and panty set on the far right are a great playful option. This is a great look if you prefer a 'pin-up girl' look.

     I have the unique pleasure of seeing these famous brands walk through the runway of my lens each and every week. So head on over to your local boutique and see what types and fits work best for your body and your confidence. As long as you feel confident in your outfit, everything will turn out beautiful. If you have any questions about planning your outfits before your boudoir session, feel free to call or send an email. I'd be happy to consult with you and suggest the best fashion choices for your personal photo shoot.

{Pretty Posts} .... Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe Boudoir Photography Queen


     Today, June 1st, marks the 86th birthday of a timeless and iconic female… Ms. Marilyn Monroe. As 2012 started, I really saw Marilyn come to life everywhere I turned. I personally deemed this the year of Marilyn.  She's on TV in the drama SMASH, she was on the big screen in biographical movie "My Week with Marilyn," and she even joined us on the streets of Michigan Avenue.  I know there are some parts of her life that make it difficult to call her my mentor, but I do truly look up to her. She had amazing confidence. She knew who she was and she owned it.  That confidence is inspiring.

     I am so proud to be in the business of creating that inspiring spark in the women I work with each week. With each one, I watch a transformation from the curious to the empowered. Quickly realizing their own beauty and confidence, Marilyn exudes from each one of these lovely ladies. So, if you are looking for your own inner Marilyn, I'm proud to say that I can help with that. ;-)

Cheers to the lovely Marilyn Monroe! Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration. Your beauty and confidence continue to thrive in each and every woman I have the pleasure of meeting. Happy Birthday!
