Long Island Boudoir – Boudoir Photos with Ms. E.

Although I regularly shoot boudoir photos in Long Island and NYC, I recently had the opportunity to do a boudoir photo shoot while I was in South Carolina. I love shooting at different places other than my studio. I always like to give my clients the option to do a boudoir shoot at their home, a hotel or another location if they prefer or if they have something specific in mind. For this session, I mixed up the boudoir with some contemporary glamour photos. Taking photos like these are always great because it gives you some time to settle into the shoot, calm the nerves and it’s great because these are always safe for you to post and share with your friends on social media, etc, or even give mom a photo. In addition, sometimes you get a nice professional photo that you may want to use as a headshot. Boudoir does not mean that all photos must be taken in lingerie. You should wear anything that makes you feel sexy, beautiful and most importantly, confident.

My client, Ms. E was simply awesome. Not only is she beautiful, but she really knew how to follow my posing directions well so that we could get these awesome boudoir photos. She totally rocked this session. Thank you, Ms. E. I had so much fun taking these boudoir photos of you and it looks like you enjoyed the session as well. I hope that you will enjoy these pictures for many years to come. 😮

Long Island Maternity Photography/Irene Bella Photography

Long Island Maternity Photography

Kelly got in touch with me about a month ago to book a maternity session in her seventh month of pregnancy. It is recommended that you book your maternity photography shoot at 7 or 8 months into your pregnancy in order to be able to showcase that beautiful baby bump. When I arrived at her home, we discussed the details that she wanted to include in her shoot as well as location options in her home. Since I usually try to keep things as simple as possible when I am on location, I will try to utilize as much natural light as I possibly can if it is available. It was a bit overcast on the day of her shoot and her home did not have much natural light but it was adequate enough lighting for some of the shots. I did have to use some flash on some of them but I used it as subtly as I could in order to maintain a natural looking feel.

You will have to agree that she is simply a beautiful mommy to be. I loved the beautiful flower headpiece it made her look so innocent.

I love when husbands are involved in the shoot. I absolutely loved the contrast of his tattooed arms against her white maternity gown here.

It is simply amazing what a small window and some sheer curtains can do. She is just glowing in these photos.

I love the tenderness of this photo.

New York Glamour Photography/Boudoir Photography/Session with Ms. J

New York Glamour Photography/Boudoir Photography/Session with Ms. J

Valentines Day is this week and I have been getting books and print orders together for some lucky men out there. It certainly has been busy the last couple of months. Lots of ladies booked Holiday and Valentines Day sessions as gifts for their sweeties. I love to begin my boudoir sessions with my clients wearing a dress. I like to start by getting a few glamour portraits for my ladies so that they can include these portraits in their books, frame them on their walls if they want to, or use them on their social media pages, etc. Not only that but everyone is a little nervous at the beginning of a session and I find that posing in a dress helps get rid of any jitters before getting into that sexy lingerie. Your boudoir session doesn’t just have to incorporate lingerie. Boudoir Photography is about feeling beautiful and sexy and you should wear whatever makes you feel that way.

Here are a few images from a recent session that I had with Ms. J, who was kind enough to allow me to share some of her and some of my favorites. I had a great time capturing her images and we even had some laughs. There were so many beautiful images to choose from. You have to agree that she just looks absolutely stunning in all of these.
