I have been shooting boudoir sessions, and creating positive experiences for women since the summer of 2008! In fact, the very first “session” I ever shot was of a Barbie Doll as I was too shy to ask a real woman! All of you know the outcome of this, and that I decided to step outside of my comfort zone, and just do it! And so I did. And as “they” say, the rest was history! I became a photographer, who specializes in Boudoir.
Since then, I have enjoyed photographing hundreds of women, and learning from each and every session I shoot! I do also realize that I never want to just be OK with where I am. I don’t was to just be good. Good is not good enough for me. I am a perfectionist at heart, and I want to get better as an artist. With each, and every session I do. I NEVER want to stop learning and growing! So, along the way I have taken some professional classes, and workshops. To keep my skills up.
For the past six weeks I have been taking an online boudoir workshop by the amazing photographer Christa Meola. This particular week, we have been learning all about shooting, and creating story lines. So, in order to grow, and learn I decided to go back and refer to some older images (last year) and look at possible story lines. So, I decided to create a Facebook album called ”Almost ready for the tea party” on Facebook. I decided I wanted to share my images that I edited, and created a story line just for me. I have always loved to share details of my sessions, but I always haven’t shared these. So, here we go! I hope you enjoy! It feels great to create a fresh story, and to share.
And to learn, more about me and what I love to do.
I would love to create a Reveal Story just for you. It can be really simple, or it can be super elaborate. That depends on you! If you are ready for your Great Reveal-ution let me know!
Thank you Christa for sharing your knowledge with us all. Seriously, I am so grateful!
Enjoy,
Cathy xoxo
