New York Boudoir Photographer/Holiday Gift Idea

Posted on October 17, 2013March 9, 2018 by Irene Bello

Even though it is only October it is never too soon to start planning for that special holiday gift to give to your significant other. If you are like most people around this time of the year, you are getting ready to battle the crowds at malls and stores in search for that perfect holiday gift for your honey. And if your honey is a guy, it can be an even greater challenge since men are usually hard to shop for. Gifting socks, boxers, sweaters or cologne can be so old and unoriginal. The best is when you ask him what he would like and he replies, “just you honey”. Well, have you ever considered giving him just that? Yes, that is right you can give him the gift of you, your gorgeous and sexy self.

If you haven’t yet heard, boudoir photography has been a popular gift idea between couples. It began as a wedding trend when brides-to-be started stripping down to their lingerie to pose for sexy boudoir photos as a wedding gift for their future husbands. Since then women in all sorts of relationships have been gifting their partners with sexy photos. So if they can make a great romantic gift, why shouldn’t they make a great gift for the holidays?

A boudoir photography session can be the perfect holiday gift for your special someone and for yourself. Yes, you heard that right. While your honey gets a thoughtful and intimate gift, as an added bonus, you being photographed will get to feel sexy and empowered. You will feel like a supermodel. You start out thinking it’s going to be a present for someone else but guess who ends up wanting to blow up one of those sexy pics up to 8″x10 and framing it. And then the next time you are out with your besties, you won’t be able to stop yourself from showing them what a supermodel you are. It’s the ultimate confidence boost. And a win-win for you and your honey.

If you’re tired of giving him the same old tie or if you’re stumped on gift ideas, a little black book filled with sexy photos of you can make the perfect holiday gift. And who knows? This may be the perfect thing to heat up those dull cold winter nights. And it sure beats shopping at the mall. If you have been considering a boudoir session for awhile, now is the perfect time. So what are you waiting for? Fill out the contact form so that we can get started. Boudoir sessions can be scheduled at my studio or at a location of your choice.

New York Boudoir Photos/New York Glamour Session with Lady E

Posted on July 2, 2013April 21, 2020 by Irene Bello

Lady E, a friend of mine recently made the journey from New Jersey to my home studio in Long Island, NY to take some boudoir photos and glamour shots. Glamour shots you ask? Weren’t glamour shots popular back in the 80’s? Well yeah, and some of you may remember those cheesy hands on the jacket poses and the big colorful feather boas not to mention the big hair. Anyways, Glamour Photography is making a comeback. And I don’t mean with those colorful feathers. I am talking more editorial and magazine, think Cosmo Cover Girl. Because every woman no matter what age, shape or size wants and deserves to look and feel like a supermodel. More on glamour photography in a future post. Let’s get back to Lady E. She arrived ready and willing to have fun. She brought several outfits to choose from and we mapped out her shoot. Lady E is happy. vibrant, funny and knows how to live life to the fullest. She is a real woman. She is a wife and a mother and works a 9 to 5 job in the city, so like most women her plate is quite full but she doesn’t use that as an excuse to stop her from embracing the best that life has to offer. Lady E is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Here are some of her favorite images from the session that she has graciously allowed me to share.

New York Boudoir Photographer/Bridal Boudoir

Posted on June 4, 2013April 21, 2020 by Irene Bello

Wedding season is here and that means it’s time for some bridal boudoir photos. I’d like you to meet the lovely Miss C who I had the pleasure to photograph recently in Long Island, NY. Ms. C is getting married at the end of this month and she called me to get some sexy pictures of herself for her soon to be hubby and for herself. When she arrived on the day of her shoot she was beaming with excitement. But once i asked her to see the outfits that she brought so i can map out her shoot, she realized that she forgot her outfits and naturally became very upset. I offered to reschedule the session since it was already evening time but she was quite adamant about proceeding with the shoot since she already had her hair and make-up done. It is quite common for almost everyone to be a bit tense at the very beginning of the session. It usually takes an average of about 15 minutes before the client loosens up and the great images start to get produced. Well it was no different with Ms. C. especially since she was naturally very upset about not having all her outfits. Despite her disappointment, we realized that she had a few items to work with that she brought with her that were in her bag of shoes and I quickly started to have her change into them and we made it WORK! In no time, she was rocking the shoot and was having a blast. Sure she didn’t have the matching outfits and lingerie she had packed but I didn’t let that stop me from capturing her beauty and her personality. And we got some great images. It just goes to show you that everything does not have to be perfect in order to get great pictures. Check out some of Ms. C’s favorite images that she has given me permission to share. Isn’t she beautiful?

Congratulations on your wedding Ms. C. I am sure that you will make a beautiful bride. I wish you and your husband many years of love and happiness.

XOXO

Long Island Glamour Pictures – Boudoir Photos

Posted on January 30, 2013April 11, 2015 by Irene Bello

I had a great time shooting these glamour/boudoir pictures in Long Island City, NY. The latest rage in photography these days is boudoir photography, a.k.a, sensual or intimate photography. But a boudoir and glamour shoot can be treated as two sides of the coin since both can go hand in hand sometimes. In most boudoir photo sessions, pictures are usually taken of the model in lingerie. But you don’t necessarily have to be wearing lingerie in all your photos. You may decide to wear a sexy little dress, or even your favorite guy’s shirt. In this photo session, lovely Mina wore a sweater with just her thigh highs for a more casual sexy look. She then wore a beautiful sexy black lingerie set from Victoria’s Secret. I absolutely loved the sparkles on the bra. She then brought in a beautiful black sweater hoodie with fur on the hood and I took some glamour headshots. The black fur framed around her face was absolutely stunning and brought out her beautiful eyes. I hope you all enjoy these lovely photos of Mina. I believe that I was able to successfully capture her casual, sexy and glamourous sides in these pictures.

Till next time,
Irene
