  • Boudoir photographer starts a trend....

    BOUDOIR AFICIONADO for all women out there who believe they are not sexy..... I happen to believe that we are all beautiful.  During my sessions I am all about helping you find your sexy, YOUR SWEET SPOT. The feel good place where your alter ego starts to take over your body and you begin to trust that your beautiful as you feel. That you are in fact a romantic and sensual goddess. We all have that woman inside of us. I just help you awaken her inner slumber.

    The Engagement Session Memory That (Almost) Never Happened

    Hello! We're John and Poppy, a husband and wife team of photographers who live in the middle of Washington State.  The first date for the engagement session was rescheduled due to a forest fire in the Entiat Valley, the location Holly and Zane had selected for their session. Then, the rescheduled day at a barn on the edge of town was mutually cancelled due to pouring down rain. On the third try, the original spot they wanted was now reopened because the fire danger and smoke had cleared.  After rescheduling twice, the engagement session was finally going to happen!

    We followed Holly and Zane's truck up the winding Entiat River Valley Road, Zane had selected our shooting location because he loved the view.  Suddenly, we were turning off the main road to climb a steep, dirt road that was cut into the mountainside. Very steep, very winding, and did I mention that Poppy is terrified of heights? So there we were, twisting and climbing the dirt road in our little minivan, as Poppy is trying to remain calm and stop crawling into my lap as I concentrate on the road. Up, up, up we go, until we come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road, clinging to the side of the mountain.

    Poppy and I look questionably at each other, "Is this it?"

    It wasn't exactly a "location," we literally stopped in the middle of the dirt road half-way up an enormous mountain, there was hardly enough space to adequately pull-off the road. It was tight. We hopped-out and we could see her face was saying the same thing we were thinking, "Um, is this the spot?"

    Zane was smiling, "I love the view from here." Okay, this must be it.

    Holly was the first to speak up as we casually/desperately searched for something to work with, "This isn't really a location for portraits, it's a dirt road." Whew! It was quickly decided that she would rather go back down the mountain and shoot by the river. Yes!

    Since we had already driven that far, Zane really liked the view, and I knew that Poppy would need a few minutes to recover from the ride up, I grabbed my camera and encouraged them to do a few shots before heading back down to the river.  I captured about a dozen images in 5 minutes time, and we headed back down the road and continued their session down by the river.

    Everyone had a great time and they loved their session and photos. For Christmas, they gave their parents an enlargement from their engagement shoot. Which photo did they choose? Our very first shot of the session of course, taken on that dirt road way up on the mountainside, with the sun blazing in the sky.

    This fun engagement shoot that almost never happened was a great reminder of what we continuously strive for in life and work: There is always something to create, stay positive, and work with what you have in front of you. A dirt road, a gorgeous view, and a young couple in love were all the ingredients we ever needed to create a memory of a beautiful moment.

    Love and hugs,

    John and Poppy

    AN AFTERNOON SPENT WITH AN AMAZING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR


    DSC_0114-Edit


    The air of excitement in photographing a high school senior is always contagious.   The hope in their eyes, the smile on their face & confidence in their stance is unmistakable.  They have achieved so much in the last 4 years.  This is their time to shine.


    DSC_0215-Edit


    I love celebrating them, just as they are.  I encourage all of my high school clients to wear what they love, what they feel most comfortable in.  I encourage them to dress up, dress down, bring accessories or keep it simple.  I ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE THEMSELVES

    When scheduling a senior session, I talk with my clients about some of their "favorite things."  We discuss their favorite styles, places, hobbies, etc.  This allows me to customize their sessions around who they really are.  I feel this is a very important aspect in helping them feel comfortable in their own skin.  AFTER ALL, THEY HAVE EARNED IT.

    During the photo session, I make it a priority for my clients to feel comfortable & most importantly to have fun!  My sessions are real, honest & filled with laughter.  During a typical session, you can catch me running around, climbing up on things, laying on the ground & doing whatever I can to put my clients at ease while achieving those custom shots to ensure that their photos are truly unique, just as they are.

     I feel that the senior year of high school is a life experience to be remembered & treasured.

    One of the main reasons I am so passionate about ensuring each senior session is unique is so when they look back on their senior photos they are reminded of exactly who they were at that particular time in their lives; evoking wonderful memories to be shared with others.

     As a child, I remember looking at photographs with my grandparents and feeling their emotions as they shared special photographs of their younger years.  I feel those are timeless memories that should be treasured.  I feel that through photographs amazing stories can be  remembered & retold.
