NEW YORK GLAMOUR /OUTDOOR PORTRAITS

New York Glamour goes to the park……chasing cherry blossoms! Yes…..spring is finally here after a long, nasty and ruthless winter in NYC. I don’t know about you but there is only so much white powder and cold one can deal with. I photographed this lovely lady for her new headshots (her session will be posted in another upcoming post…..:o)) After we completed her headshots for her new website, I dragged her to this location to get some shots of her with these cherry blossoms. I happened to stumble upon them the day before at a shoot and just had to take advantage since cherry blossoms are not in season for too long……usually they last up to about 2 weeks. So if you love them as much as I do and want photos with them you will have to wait until next year since they are all gone now. They usually bloom in late April, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. With some flexibility and close attention you might be able to seize the moment. If you like these flowers then I recommend that you book your session in March for April and then we will just have to be a little flexible with a date as we wait patiently for them to bloom. :o)

But for now here are a few beautiful portraits for you to enjoy until next spring! :o)

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.
