I am very excited to be able to share this session with you. Not only was this my first session of 2011, it also embodies all that I strive for in every shoot.

Exuding sensuality and sophistication, Ms. O. was such a gorgeous subject.

In spite of the frigid January day, O.’s photographs illustrate the sultry and luxurious atmosphere of her session.

Thank you O for letting me share. I would also like to thank my fabulous makeup artist, Christine Hansen and hair stylist, Rachel Gomolka.

It is also the day that Joe will get his wedding day surprise… a beautiful album of his gorgeous wife-to-be.

I can’t wait to hear about his reaction. What guy wouldn’t be floored by such a personal and intimate gift?

Thankful!

I have been photographing couples a lot more lately, and absolutely love these boudoir sessions. They are such a wonderful bonding experience for the couple and a ton of fun.

Paul & Cindy were an amazing couple celebrating their anniversary with beautiful, artistic keepsakes of themselves for themselves. They were kind, loving, playful and 100% head of heels for one another. It is always so inspiring to see couples that have so much love, respect, and passion in their relationship.

Thanks for letting me share a few shots from your session.

Peak Performance!

Across the Hudson River from Manhattan in Long Island City, Queens is an abandoned paint factory. Left behind amongst the machinery and years of dust and debris is a beautifully decaying quiet space that served as our backdrop for Jennifer’s shoot.

I love the juxtaposition of raw deterioration and abandonment with the soft, sexy female form and dedication of body sculpting.

Happy Birthday to…

…Christina

Ok, ok, so her birthday was actually in September! I have been so busy the past few months that the blog posts have slacked in the way of glorifying and honoring all of my wonderful and beautiful clients.

Here’s to you Christina, and thank you for letting me help celebrate your 40th with a boudoir session. That’s right, I said 40th! I know, I know, she looks absolutely amazing.

I had such a great time photographing you, Christina. Happy Birthday!

Holiday Rush!

Yes, it’s here… that holiday rush! Although my deadlines for receiving albums are walking the wire at this point for x-mas deliveries, IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

The holiday deadline for a session is Monday November 23rd. This will guarantee that you will have your images posted to your web gallery before or by December 24th. Don’t worry ladies, there will still be that element of surprise when he sees his web gallery gift, and finds out there is more to come! It could even be fun to let him help choose a few images for the album. You know, make him feel a part of it all. Sessions booked before the holiday deadline have a few more gift delivery options. Contact the studio for details on session and holiday options.

New Arrival!

“Noir” was the theme of the Primal Stare Studios shootout session this June. I am excited to finally have a location to shoot studio sessions in. For all of you ladies out there that don’t feel your home is suitable for a session, and a hotel is a bit out of your range, we have an alternative! I recently found Primal Stare Studios.

Here are a few shots from my test shoot I did there!

Can you believe this hottie is a mother of 2?

Nikki contacted me, and told me she wanted to surprise her husband of 10 years for their anniversary, and I thought, ” How wonderful!”. Being a newlywed I love hearing tried and true love stories. I find them so inspiring. Just the way she talked about her husband brought on goosebumps. Nikki mentioned during our phone consultations that she was a mother of 2, and described herself as a shy, self conscience (who isn’t) soccer mom.

I was amazed when I first met her. Nikki was fun, bubbly, beautiful, and in way better shape than myself. Her love story wasn’t the only thing that inspired me. I think I started doing sit-ups shortly after our meeting.

Truely, can you believe this hottie is a mother of 2 and ,shhhh, 40 years old? What, what what? Enzo, you are one lucky man.

Congratulations on 10 wonderful years together!

I love photographing at Blue Bay Inn, in Atlantic Highlands! The rooms are gorgeous, the staff couldn’t be nicer, and the color schemes and furniture really lend themselves to boudoir photography. For the most part, clients choose the “Red room” for their sessions.

I was so excited when the “Blue room” was chosen. It is such a different feel… light, airy, and summery.

How gorgeous! I had a lot of fun photographing J. She had great lingerie, classic beauty, and that perfect touch of sassiness for the camera.

J had the most beautiful eyes! Christine did such a wonderful job playing them up.

Many thanks to Rachel Gomolka and Christine Hansen for always doing a wonderful job with hair and makeup.

Holy Sunshine Batman!

This weekend is going to be AWESOME!!! I have been willing the sunshine gods to show their beautiful rays by strolling around in my flip flops and linen shirts. Finally, they listened… I was beginning to think it was all for not, and I was going to end up catching a cold.

I am photographing Christine Hansen, one of my wonderful boudoir make-up artists. We will be cruising around taking advantage of all of the cool spots that Red Bank has to offer. I can’t wait to share our session with you all. This is going to be so much fun!

In addition to my session with Christine, I have been honored with the job of photographing the christening of little Miss Olivia Shinners this Sunday at St. James. I’ll share as soon as I can.

It’s the First Day of Spring…

Brandi Grooms Johnson — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:20:21 +0000

… and it’s snowing, although I don’t think it will stick. After 7 years up north you would think this little southern girl would have gotten used to the cold. NOPE! I live for those 80˚, slightly humid days. Give me that and a plate full of freshly boiled crawfish, an ice cold beer, and my friends and family enjoying themselves. Now that is what I call a perfect day!!!
