One of my favorite parts about boudoir sessions is the transformation that takes place from the moment my client walks in to the moment they step in front of the camera. I absolutely LOVE watching the hair and makeup artists get to work. They are geniuses and I owe a lot of the beauty in my images to them. There is a benefit to having the hair and makeup done on site which is that I can be more of a control freak about how it looks. Having the pampering be done specifically to my shooting standards and settings allows me to have peace of mind about how my client will look on camera. The second benefit is seeing their reaction when they catch themselves in the mirror for the first time. HOT DAMN ...they love it! It's a powerful thing to see, and it's like they've stepped into a new coat of confidence (or... bra of confidence?? too much?). 

I wanted to share a recent Before and After with you... check out Alisha!
