A Little Gift for My Readers

I made these cute little, vintage-look tags for my gifts. And, thought I’d share it with you too!

Click here to download a .PNG version with no drop shadows. Print them on card stock and cut out. Then, use a hole punch to punch the top and tie with pretty ribbon or with some old string to complete your vintage-look Christmas packages! P.S. the .PNG preview on MediaFire looks weird, but it’s all good when you download!

2010 Desk Calendars

Great for the holidays too! I love these new desk calendars. They sell for just $25 to my clients. In 2010, clients that spend over a certain dollar amount will get one free if they request it. It’s a great way to look at your session images for an entire year! Includes an easel too! If you’d like to order a calendar from a past session, please contact me and we can discuss how to get that going! There is still time before our holiday cut-off if you want to give one as a gift.

St. Louis Boudoir Photography | Sneak Peek 4 Meaghan

Isn’t she just adorable! I really can’t wait to show off all the photos from the Boudoir sessions I did on Sunday. Meaghan was a willing volunteer model for me and I couldn’t be more pleased. People ask me since showing some of my boudoir shots if I do retouching. The answer is, YES! It’s a given. However, I only retouch on the images that are purchased from the sessions. It’s a time-consuming process that doesn’t take place on my every day portrait sessions. I want to make a woman feel beautiful and look like their photo can be seen in a magazine. And, let’s face it…even if the men don’t want to hear it…they are all retouched in the mags! I work to even out skin tones, smooth the skin, enhance the eyes and makeup and even do a little “plastic surgery” if you will to make you look your absolute best!

Stay tuned for my website featuring more about Boudoir Photography and rates and packages available!

Here’s a sneak of Meaghan’s experience…love it!
