3 years ago!!!!
This is not unusual when I talk to new clients.
Those images will stay on whatever memory system that was available at the time the images were taken. Let's think a minute we have gone from floppy disks, hard disks, zip drives, CD/DVD's, USB's, the cloud....what's next? Technology changes too quickly. I just purchased a new MacBookPro for my studio and guess what there is NOT a CD drive or USB port in it!
Oh, wait! You have all your pictures on your phone! When was the last time it crashed, broke, or lost your phone to never see those memories again? If you try to print wall art from your phone it will be pixilated and very poor quality.
But guess what I still have photographs of my grandparent's wedding, pictures of my parents growing up, parents wedding, pictures of me growing up, and yes my senior year (don't get me started on my 80's hair and all the aqua net that was used), and yes I even have a Glamour Shot portrait (I worked there in college).
I have memories to cherish for myself and for my family's lifetime.
This is why I don't sell digital images, but amazing wall art for my clients and their families to cherish for a lifetime.
I am not serving my clients by saying here you print your family memories, on poor quality paper that will change colors, fade, at a non-profressional lab that may only last 10 years or worse yet NEVER be printed for the family to cherish and remember.
These are moments in our lives that only happen once, and need to be preserved, enjoyed, and shared with family and friends.
What memories do you want to preserve next?

At least 3 weeks before, purchase your wardrobe or have it ordered. I recommend contacting the following:
- If you’d like a consultation with a wardrobe stylist I would contact Nicole. Let her plan out what you’re going to wear that makes you look fabulous. She can help clean out and organize your closet it too.
- I would go see Carla at Uplift Intimate Apparel https://www.upliftintimateapparel.com
She is a Master Fitter and can make sure you are wearing the correct bra size, so it looks amazing on you and you feel fabulous in it! Plus, she has items you can’t find in Indiana or in some cases the U.S.
Pamper yourself at least a week to 3 days prior. How would I do that?
- Go see Candice Fields at SkinPHix Salon Lofts in broad ripple https://salonlofts.com/candice_fields
Why you’d ask?
To get waxed of course! Brow, lip, underarms, legs, bikini or Brazilian, leg wax.
You don’t get the ingrown hairs, shaving bumps, 5 o’clock shadows!
Check out the other services she has to offer for your skin as well.
- Go see Zona Clark at Lacquer Nail Design https://salonlofts.com/zona_clark
Getting that manicure and pedicure feels amazing but it also makes sure nails are clean,trimmed,polished and filled and helps get rid of cracked and dry skin.
- Hair oh my you can’t forget your hair!
Of course, you may want to get your hair done a week before. You know it always takes a week to get use to a cut or color,but the feeling after getting your hair done is always a confidence booster.
I would book my appointment with Josh https://salonlofts.com/joshua_redmon
If you didn’t notice I do a one-stop place pamper day with Candice, Zona, and Josh!
- Make sure you are getting enough water. Drink your 64 oz of water daily.
Why you’d ask?
-Your skin is better when it is hydrated and you’ll be showing a lot of it, so you want it to look amazing.
-Clothes can leave indents or marks on/in the skin and cause lines that take more editing
-Plus, Bonus you’ll feel better!
You may have your own favorites places to visit for your pampering, but if you don’t I highly recommend the places and people above. So, 5 things to before a portrait experience: wardrobe, skincare maintenance, manicure and pedicure, hair and hydrate.
Remember this is about you feeling your best, boosting your self-esteem and confidence!

So, what is Boudoir?
Does it just mean women just getting naked?
NO!
It’s about self-empowerment, self-esteem, feeling comfortable in our own skin. Women expressing themselves and finally having someone show them what others see, so they can see it themselves. It’s telling a story of a woman’s beauty inside and out.
Finding that confidence that’s been hiding and needs let out!
As women, we grow up with stereotypes that have been meant to keep us down and at home. We have broken through a lot of those over the years, but we still struggle within ourselves every day.
Too many times a day as women we put ourselves down (it’s a daily struggle for Myself too). I need to lose weight, my hair is frizzy, my nose is too big or too small, wish I had better cheekbones, I hate my double chin, my feet are too big, my boobs are too small or too big, I have a huge butt, I have no butt, I’m not good enough and the list goes on and on.
STOP!
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Boudoir photo sessions are just one way to finally see yourself how others see you!
A photograph is worth a million words and with boudoir a million emotions too.
