Las Vegas Boudoir Photography | Shaya

Hey Everyone! I posted a while ago that I will be starting to offer Boudoir photo sessions!  Well almost immediately after I posted that blog, I received a message from Shaya about doing one. She got married in the beginning of December and she wanted to give her husband a boudoir album as a wedding gift.  So naturally, I couldn't blog about her photos until after her wedding in case her husband (who happens to be friends with my fiance) might check out my blog!

Shaya lives in Wisconsin and when I was there a few months ago, I drove down to her hometown and we took some photos in her Aunts Shabby Chic guest bedroom.  Her sister Sierra came along for some moral support.

Now since Shaya was doing these photos as a surprise for her husband, she had to outright lie to him about where she was going and who she was with!  I believe the story was that she was checking out Sierra's new apartment with her roommates.  But in all reality, she was getting all dolled up and putting on lingerie for me and my camera!

(If you are interested in booking a Boudoir session with me, please keep reading, some FAQ's will be answered at the end of this post)

Here are some of my favorites from our shoot:

This is a shot showing off the bottom of her wedding day Louboutins :)

Pearls are always a nice added touch to your lingerie.

This shot includes an awesome tattoo that Shaya has in remembrance of her two Grandfathers.

The Beautiful Shaya!  Her green eyes are AMAZING!

Love this flattering angle... seriously everyone looks good in it. (not that Shaya needed any help with flattering angles, I'm just saying!)

Detail photos like these two are my favorite because they always leave the viewer wanting to see more!

And to end this post, mirrors are always a good thing to have at a Boudoir shoot!  They make for interesting and creative photos :)

Thanks for reading!

You can find some information on my Boudoir package here.  Please email me with any questions you may have about booking a Boudoir session.  If you would feel more comfortable meeting me before booking something like this, call me up for some coffee!  Or if you would feel more comfortable bringing your sister or your friend along to the shoot like Shaya did, that's totally fine as well.  (I may just ask them to move around a lot to make sure they're not in the shot).  And as always, your online album can be password protected so you can share your photos with only those you'd like to see them.  I will only blog about your photos with your permission!

Wisconsin Family Photography >

Hey Everyone! I was just back home in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving last month.  One of my best friends from High School was going to be home with her 3 year old daughter as well and asked me to take some photos of her!  We decided to just do a quick little mini-session at a park near the house Megan grew up in.  Megan and Mackenzie came to the park with Megan's dad as well (who just happens to be my childhood doctor!).  It was great to see Megan and her dad and to finally meet Mackenzie!!  When we got to the park, we soon realized that the playground equipment was, for the most part, the same exact equipment that Megan played on growing up!  Kind of a cool experience for a family I think.  Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Beautiful Mackenzie!  I'm pretty sure Megan should get her into modeling...

Mackenzie loved the slide!  She also loved Mr. Bear :)

She was all over the place!  After swinging herself, she put Mr. Bear in the swing and pushed him!

Mackenzie seemed to really be drawn to this spaceship (on the left).  She went back to it about 3 times that day!

Sliding again!

Megan and Mackenzie on what used to be a real tire swing, now just a "big plastic disc" swing.

Beautiful Mother and Daughter!

I really love this one of Mackenzie in the tire climb!  What a cutie!

It was so much fun to meet Mackenzie and get to know her a little.  And of course, always good to see Megan!  Hopefully I'll see them again at Christmas!

Thanks for reading,

Mary

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Barrette Kids

Hey Everyone! This blog is near and dear to my heart as the subjects are all my (soon-to-officially-be) Nephews and Niece!  Eric and I were recently in Wisconsin for a few days and while we were there, we made a day trip down to Illinois to see his Sister, Brother-in-law, and their 4 kids.  All between the ages of 3 months and 6 years old!  Three month old Geneva is our only Niece out of the bunch, I guess the 4th time was the charm ;) Needless to say, they have their hands full and I was seriously exhausted after spending one day with this crew.

We arrived at their house around Noon, just in time for the two older boys to get home from school.  We all had lunch and soon after the boys needed to burn off some energy so we went to the park which is literally in their back yard!  I basically followed them all around with my camera and mostly got shots of the kids playing.  We were able to get just a couple of "posed" photos and I use the term "posed" loosely for reasons, well... you'll see!  Here are a few of my favorites from the bunch!

John climbing on the equipment.  This won't be the last time you see him climbing in this blog!

Leo speeding down the slide.

Adam just smiling :)

Here are all three of the boys in the best pose we had all day!

Baby Geneva asleep on her Mom :)

Leo did NOT like his photo taken and he made it pretty clear to me... but he can't help but show his excitement while on a swing!

Here's what I mean about trying to pose these guys!  "Leo being Leo" is what I like to call this one.

John seriously has some climbing skills.  He's so good at it and his concentration while doing it is actually really impressive for a 6 year old!

Adam's chunky swinging legs!

I had to start sneaking up on Leo to get photos of him.  Here's one of my favorite sneaky ones :)

And for the finale, we've got the whole crew together!  Although not really concerned about smiling for the photo... I still like this one a lot.

These guys are a lot of fun and I love them but I think we'll be holding off on having kids for a while...  Or maybe just hope for girls ;)
