Intimate Photographer NYC | A Little Tulle Goes A Long Way

Happy Monday everyone! It’s a gloomy, foggy day here in NY so I wanted to lighten things up a little. Tulle has become really popular in women’s photography. It’s fun, girly, and hides a plethora of spots that women are usually not too fond of.

When I styled this shoot, I fell in LOVE with this skirt. I got it from Anthropologie and found it hard not to keep it for myself! I loved the color and the airiness of it. I think it works perfectly with Anelisa’s skin tone.

Hope you enjoy your week everyone!

Fearlessly yours,

Jen

NY Intimate Photographer | Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

One of my favorite ways to shoot is with a mirror. What better way to get every gorgeous angle of a woman. I always say that the mirror shots are either a mans worst nightmare, or his dream come true…when he sees two of you!!

In these shots, I used the mirror to add some texture and interest to the photos. I love being able to add as much interest as I can in camera, so it’s less editing later and more original.

Thanks again to Diana and Toni who did an amazing hair and makeup job on Anelisa!

More to come from this shoot soon…

xo,
Jen

Cherron - Simply beautiful.

Cindy - Gorgeous photographs Jen! LOVE the soft, feminine “feel” to them.

Mike Drofenik - Jen! These are so beautiful! I love the voyeuristic feeling you give! So soft & French =)

pj - Jen, I am so excited for your CreativeLive workshop. This series with the muted color is sexy and shy at the same time. Are you doing the blur in camera or after in post (if you don’t mind sharing). It really adds to the voyeur look here.

admin - Thank you Patricia. The blur is in camera. I shot the session with the LensBaby optic edge 80

NY Boudoir Photographer | Black and White Beauty

Happy New Year everyone!! 2013 is finally here and I can’t wait to start it off by sharing a project I worked on back in December.

I love working with “real women” to show them how gorgeous they are. That is at the core of what I do. I help women break those ugly lies that they tell themselves. You know the ones I mean, right? “I’m not sexy”, “I could never do that!”, “I need to lose 5 lbs”. Whatever it may be – we all tell ourselves lies, and even worse…we start to believe them! My job is to uncover the truths of women. To show them they are sexy, as is! To build their confidence and of course to change their perspectives.

Because of this, I never really work with models. I decided to fearlessly change my mind in December. See, I was getting bored. Boredom is the kiss of death for us creative types. I needed a challenge and a way to flex my creative muscles. So I decided to design my own shoot start to finish. I found an incredible location, a fun model and I planned the wardrobe myself. I grabbed Diana, my makeup artist and Toni, my hairdresser and off we were to play.

This type of shoot benefits both me and my clients. It helps me learn, grow and get “unbored”. It freshens my outlook and my mind. It’s great for you too, because you can see my vision and maybe even apply it to a shoot for you! This was not done in my studio. My New Year’s resolution is to shoot more for me and push the bounderies. AND to get out of the studio. How amazing would a should be customized for you at a location we choose together? (Just a hint of what is coming for 2013!)

I am going to break up the photos I took into a few blog posts, and today I want to share the black and whites with you. Thank you to Anelisa who did an amazing job modeling. She is gorgeous, sweet and I can’t wait to work with her again.

Happy 2013 Everyone!

Cheers,
Jen

NYC Boudoir Photographer | The Many Sides to Ms. L

As 2012 is coming to a close, it’s the time that we spend reflecting on the year. What worked in the business, what didn’t and what kinds of goals do we want to set for 2013. I have an incredible vision for 2013. One that involves change in me, my business and how we offer the most unique experience to our clients. 2013 is going to be the year embracing the FEARLESSLY FEMININE woman. It might not make sense now, but when 2013 starts and as it continues, I am hoping the message and vision will be even more clear.

On that note, I want to end the year with Ms. L. She is fearlessly feminine. In her session we embraced the many sides of her that make her the woman she is. She is soft and pretty. She is sexy and seductive, and she is a kick-ass boxer. Like most fearlessly feminine women, Ms. L plays many roles, and I think we captured all three of these quite perfectly.

Ms. L – you were amazing to work with. I love your awesomely laid back persona combined with your go get ‘em attitude. I relate to you in that way and truly admire you and your womanhood.

I hope you all have safe and happy holidays. Thank you for making 2012 an amazing one. Cheers to 2013 being the best yet for all of us!

Have a Sexy Holiday!

Jen

NYC Boudoir Photographer | Miss E is Rockin’ it!

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!! I know I did (and I’m back on Weight Watchers now to prove it!!)

Today I am excited to share Miss E with you. She was so much fun to work with. We loved the creativity in her outfits. Boudoir is not just about lingerie, but so much about what makes you feel sexy and comfortable. I especially loved the black backless shirt. We had a lot of fun with that.

Thanks for a fun day Miss E!
