Chicago Winter Intimate Portraiture Special – Book Your Valentine’s Day Boudoir Session!
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012(ALERT: Sensitive intimate portraiture in this post. May not be suitable for children, office viewing or conservative readers.)
Two years ago I began offering boudoir sessions as a way for women to celebrate their individuality and beauty, and if they so desired, to have a tangible gift to give to the man in their lives. And what emerged gave intimate portraiture an entirely new meaning. In boudoir we honor a woman’s sexiness, but it is by disclosing her inner strength in those intimate moments that she truly becomes empowered. While it is very much about her sexual appeal, it goes even further in portraying a deeper aspect of a woman’s exquisite character. It becomes a way to express her sensuality in a classy and tasteful way rather than being overtly sexual as in pinup photography. It’s a celebration of every one of her beautiful features- both inside and out.
Another essential part of my philosophy as a photographer is to get to know you on a personal level so you are relaxed and comfortable and your photos genuinely reflect who you are. This is even more important in intimate portraiture where there must be an even greater element of trust and comfort. I am there to coach you so you’re at ease in front of the camera and feel absolutely gorgeous!
What mood do you want to convey? Are you playful and flirty? We’ll focus on bringing out your natural charm. Do you want sultry and glamorous? Get those high heels and pouty lips ready! Are you looking for more simple and understated? A little lace slip and your sweet smile is just perfect. Do you want to accentuate certain details, or show just a tease? No problem! The session is about YOU and we’ll spend some time talking about what makes you uniquely sexy.
So you walk away from this experience feeling fabulous about yourself- what’s in it for your guy? How much would he love an 8×8 nightstand album of your most smouldering images? Or a fine art book designed like a magazine spread that features you? There’s no doubt he’d linger over every delicious page…and come back often. You can even purchase a miniature 4×4 keepsake version if he wants to bring your sexy little self with him on his next trip. Not only is it a physical memento of your hotness (!), but it can be a powerful reminder of your sacred connection or a visual cue to rekindle some romance.
And guys, it’s pretty clear how you’ll benefit from this sexy little session, but what if you gave this entire experience as a gift to your girl? She can bring a friend with her and she’ll get to sip champagne, have her makeup done and feel completely pampered in an hour long photo session all about her. And we promise, you’ll love the end results too! So really, you both win.
So how do we move forward? Collections begin at $350 and each level includes an online gallery and a select number of high resolution digital images. Most even include an album. Prints, album upgrades, additional digital images, and makeup sessions are included in subsequent collections. And if you book your session through the month of February, you’ll get the Winter Special of 10% off any collection! (If you do not need the images by the end of February, you can still book at this rate and we can get your appointment on the calendar for a later date.) Turnaround for Valentine’s Day sessions is 4 days for digital images and 1-2 weeks for gifts, so make sure you plan accordingly. Wanna make it a party? Book with a friend and you’ll both get an additional $50 off any collection! Please feel free to give me a call for more details! 773.789.8706.
