Long Island Boudoir Photos/Boudoir Photo Shoot with Haley

Long Island Boudoir Photos

A few months ago I got contacted by Haley to do a glamour and boudoir photo shoot at my studio in Long Island. I was thrilled to learn that she had just started working as a plus model and that I would be able to share the photos from her shoot. Time and time again I always hear women wanting to do a boudoir photo session but always use the excuse, “but, I can’t because I need to lose 30 lbs”, or, “I am too fat…..maybe next year after I lose this fat and get back into shape”. And I totally get it and understand. But here is what happens, a year goes by and you still don’t have the perfect body that you had hoped to achieve because life just happens and the years go by and then before you know it you have another excuse that you are too old and you just never get this experience. All because you are seeking the perfection that is just never going to be there. You know why? Because you will just never feel and believe that you are perfect as you are. Perfection is an illusion and we as women all feel that we do not look perfect. Most of us are all fighting the same battle. We either are just not blessed with skinny bodies, we feel that we are not skinny enough, we get married and have kids and we all get older. We spend are whole lives feeling like we are not perfect or wishing to look a certain way. It’s no different than wishing that we had curly hair or wish that we had straight hair. Sound familiar? Why not just embrace who we are and the fact that we are all beautiful in our own individual and unique way. Not everyone can be thin. Curves are beautiful. Embrace them ladies and love them. And if you are still making excuses because you don’t believe you are perfect than you really need to book yourself a boudoir shoot so that I can make you see just how beautiful you really are. It is a guaranteed self-esteem and confidence boost. If you would like to book a Long Island Boudoir Photos session, you can contact me here.

Now back to beautiful Haley…….

Long Island Boudoir- Boudoir Photos with Ms. E.

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 Boudoir Photographer/Long Island Glamour Photoshoot

The last few months have been busy and I have completely neglected to blog so since Valentines Day is only 6 weeks away I figured I will start the year with a new boudoir post. In my sessions, I usually like to incorporate both boudoir and glamour style photos into the shoot, especially if my client is doing this for herself and is not doing this as a gift for her partner. I often get asked “what do I wear or what shall i bring?” I usually like to start my sessions with a couple of glamour shots that are quite contemporary in style. For these shots I like to have my subject wear a sexy dress, sweater or something casual and fun. This usually allows for my subject to relax and then as we progress we can either continue to keep it conservative, or we get into the lingerie.

Listed below are some photos from one of my sessions in 2014. For this shoot a simple sheer top, corset and a black costume headpiece/hat kept the shoot contemporary, soft and romantic.

Long Island Glamour Photography/Long Island Boudoir Photos

I just love photographing women. Women of every age, shape and size. I love it when women get to experience how beautiful they truly are. We as women are always hard on ourselves, are self-conscious of our image, of our flaws and often we don’t see and just forget how beautiful we really are. Here are some really great images from my recent shoot with Marie. The theme of this shoot was Contemporary, Elegant, Magazine-style Glamour and Boudoir. The goal of this shoot was to create images that are classic, timeless and elegant. This style of photography is for every woman. Many women secretly wish to have magazine-style photos of themselves. Often we just dismiss that idea of ever having them because we feel we are not “photogenic” enough. Unfortunately many of us fail to realize that it is the job of the photographer, through skills of proper lighting, posing and angles to capture you in the most flattering, appealing way that emphasizes your beauty. Don’t feel like posing in lingerie? No problem. You can still have beautiful, magazine-style portraits taken and don’t have to wear it if you are not comfortable or if you just don’t want to. You don’t need to pose in lingerie in order to have beautiful photos of yourself. You’ll have hair and make-up done….a day of beauty, a model experience you will never forget and beautiful photos that you will be proud of and that will serve as keepsakes long after your experience is over. Want to have this experience for yourself? Contact me at info@irenebellaphotography.com to book a session.

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.
