I'm currently writing this blog post from the comfort of my sofa, a place in which I have been uncomfortable all day long due to a a series of poor decisions that ultimately led to me eating some bad pizza last night. Cue the 3am "uh oh" feeling and fill in the blanks for yourselves. 

Since I HAVE been up all day long I've had a lot of time to think about the amazing boudoir sessions I've been able to shoot over the last few months. It's so rare that I get to sit down and mentally process what I've been shooting or how I've been challenged! What I discovered, as I was using my brain to think and occasionally moan, is that every.single.client over these past few months has been creatively challenging (in a great way!) to me! You've brought in amazing props, came in with unique narratives, brought me sweet treats (so manyyyyyyy sweet treats!), and challenged me to create images of you that were your OWN.

So basically I wanted to say "Thank you!!!!" for trusting me with creating intimate portraits for you. Intimate in nature, and intimate of the soul. 

My birthday is next week and so I think I'll be especially reflective in the coming days. 

Love y'all, 

Sarah

As we dive deeper into October and ride the autumn wave into winter (or as it ends up being here in Atlanta: cold fall) there is a very specific opportunity that arises: Nighttime boudoir sessions!! 

With the sun setting later for the next few months it makes darker sessions more accessible. Instead of booking your boudoir session for 9pm we can now start (and finish) at a more reasonable hour....like 6pm. During this time of year I always get a lot of requests for nighttime/darker shoots. Maybe it's the air, maybe it's halloween, maybe it's Maybelline (sorry, I couldn't help it) but whatever it is, I love it!

Darker shoots are always a little unpredictable due to lighting. Light has a mind of it's own and can sometimes be as difficult to control as a room full of 3year olds with access to an unlimited amount of cotton candy. Bonkers. But... I love the unpredictable nature of night-sessions because the results we achieve during darker sessions are always completely different from daytime boudoir. Darker sessions also require a bit of wardrobe tweaking because we want to make sure your lingerie photographs well with artificial lighting! So technical, I know. 

Anyway, over the past two weeks we've had a few darker sessions.. and here is one example from last Friday night (and we also took this image outside... in case anyone is feeling adventurous).

Light it up,

Sarah
