Inspiration: South Jersey Boudoir Photography

Posted on July 19, 2010

Wow, I just came across these gorgeous images from Vouge Italia: Beauty on another blog.  I was so excited to see some behind the scenes video along with the final print images.   The room is kind of cluttered and the decorating is a little tacky, the lighting is super simple, but the shots are stunning!!!  This really proves that you don’t need a lot of fancy equipment, studios, or assistants to create amazing images.  If you are a good photographer, you make it work… beautifully.  Take a look at some of these images and then watch the video below.   Start thinking of some ideas for your next Glamour Bitch Photo shoot!

Location Shoots

Posted on July 17, 2010

I get asked a lot about some of my images that were shot on location. Specifically, shots like these:

These images were shot for a client where he kept his cars.    While I don’t have the ability to shoot something like this here at my studio, we are more than willing to travel to you for a location shoot.  (A travel fee will apply) So if your man has a great classic car or bike that you would like to shoot with or if you have an area of your home that you think would be awesome for a photo shoot, let me know.

My client Susan had this idea for a Marilyn Monroe inspired shoot in her home.  Isn’t that leopard couch amazing????

You can see more of these images in this post.

Keep your eye out for an awesome shoot I did in a tattoo shop and a fun pool side shoot with Ryan!

Beach Shoots- South Jersey Glamour Photography

Posted on July 2, 2010

I love summer and of course the beach, so it was especially great spending both Friday and Monday morning “working” in Ocean City.  Both Sandra and Jessica scheduled their shoots about a month ago and we totally lucked out with the weather. Both days were bright, sunny, and warm.  Jessica and Sandra had no problem looking incredible even at 630am.

If you have been thinking about booking a beach shoot, you can do so for any weekday morning.  We work on a 430am call time so that we can have yummy, soft light and less of a crowd.

Please email me at info@glamourbitchphoto.com for all the details!







Ashley: South Jersey Glamour Photography

Posted on July 2, 2010

Ashley came to me back in May for a bridal boudoir shoot to surprise her husband to be.  Even though she was a little nervous, her excitement and enthusiasm blew me away.  Ashley was a natural in front of the camera. Wouldn’t you agree?

Just 2 weeks before their wedding, we managed to put together a great 4×6 “little black book” for her to present to him the night before they got married.  Needless to say, her hubby loved the photos!!  So when Ashley asked him to send her back to us as a birthday gift, he was happy to.  Since we did a lingerie look for his eyes only during our first shoot, Ashley opted to do something a little more casual this time.  We used a Guess? advertisement as our inspiration and came up with this shot.  It’s definitely one of my favorite images.

Just around the corner, there is a field of these amazing wild flowers that we decided to use for her second look.

I am so thrilled with how every thing came together and I can’t wait to work with Ashley again.







Kelly B (and Abby)- South Jersey Pin Up Photography

Posted on June 17, 2010

Kelly booked a shoot with us a few months ago to surprise her boyfriend for his birthday.  Kelly’s guy travels a lot for work and she was looking for a way to keep him feeling connected while he is on the road.   She showed me a fun vintage pin up photo that she wanted to re- create with her dog Abby.   Kelly brought some great outfits, including this adorable striped dress she made especially for her pics!  Shannon rocked out some killer pin up hair and makeup and Kelly and Abby were both a pleasure to work with.  We all had a great time shooting and I hear that her boyfriend loved the pics!   If you have a small doggy that you would like to incorporate into your photo shoot, email me!







Finally!

Posted on June 17, 2010

I have gotten a lot of questions about the best way to handle tan lines or pale pasty skin in preparing for a shoot!  I am happy to say that I  have FINALLY found the BEST spray tan ever!  Ever since I learned about  how horrible tanning beds are for your skin,  I have been experimenting with self tanners trying to find something that would make my pale skin a fabulous shade of bronze.  Most of the time I have been spray tanned or applied tanner myself, I ended up a smelly, streaky, orange mess.  Who wants to deal with that before a photo shoot?!

Soooo… after a rave review from a friend of mine, I knew I had to give it a shot.  I made an appointment with Kathy at Forever Bronze in Cherry Hill.  I had a wonderful experience without streaks or that icky smell, and got a tan that lasted 7 days.  I have been seeing her once a week, now that it’s warm, to keep up my color. (She has a great deal- purchase 4 tans, the 5th is free.)  So if  you are feeling a little on the  pale side and want some color for your shoot, I would definitely think about making an appointment.   24-48 hours before your photo shoot is the perfect time to go.  You don’t need to be super dark, but a nice glow is always great.

If you are still a little freaked out by the idea of being sprayed or standing almost naked in front of a stranger, then Jergens Natrual Glow moisturizer is a great alternative.  You can’t screw it up and it’s inexpensive, just make sure you start applying color 3 days or so before your shoot date.  This stuff needs to build up to give you a nice color, so definitely give it a few days.   Just please, please, please stay out of tanning beds!  If the idea of me yelling at you isn’t scary enough, please read this article.

PS… I have also heard great things about Healthy Tans in Deptford, too!

Jane- South Jersey Boudoir Photography

Posted on June 11, 2010

Jane is one of my favorite clients! I got to do my third shoot in 2 months with her earlier this week. Jane travels all the way from New York, over 2 hours to come and see us and she always brings the most fabulous things for her shoot. After viewing my blog post about the Miss USA photos, she decided that she wanted to recreate one of those looks for her shoot. I love the combination of her dark hair and the light shirt in black and white. There are a ton of photos from this shoot that I can’t wait to share.

Cost is $350 and you are also able to purchase extra goodies after your shoot. There is no set theme for the shoot, so grab a fabulous little outfit and a pair of heels and email me asap at info@glamourbitchphoto.com to reserve your date!

Heather- South Jersey Pin Up Photography

Posted on June 7, 2010

Heather emailed me way back in March wanting to treat herself to a pin up themed shoot for her birthday. She told me straight up that she’s a ham and was ready to let out her inner pin up girl. She wasn’t kidding! Working with Heather was so much fun. We did a half day shoot (3 different looks), one of them being a beach bunny. Here’s a sneak peek at one of her images from this afternoon.
How cute is she???
