Spring !

The last couple of weeks has been so beautiful ! The southern girl in me was itching to get out of this house that I have been cooped up in all winter long and shoot a session outdoors....so I ran a special & set up a few outside ! I shot this little sweet princess and her 4 big brothers on a sunny afternoon at the park near my house. I had the shot pictured in my mind since I bought this basket....I finally had a sweet baby to try it out on. Thanks Baby N for letting me do this shot. I personally would LOVE to find a basket like this on my doorstep ! I am entering this image in Rock the Shot's SPRING photo contest. www.rocktheshotforum.com

For Your Eyes Only 2012

Last years "For your eyes only" special sold out in the same day I posted details ! I cannot wait to make more husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, signifigant others day when you present them with this amazing gift.... I had several husbands call me & THANK ME ! Here are some basics of boudoir.....
FIRST OF ALL....... What is Boudoir? OK, so you have been hearing about boudoir photography but not sure what it is? Who should do it? What does is entail?
Boudoir – pronounced bŏo dwăawr Comes from late 18th century French word and is translated as – a woman’s bedroom or a private sitting room.
Who should go for boudoir photography?
1. A woman that wants to surprise that special one in her life with a unique and personal gift…. There’s something about seeing him open that photo album for the first time and drool all over your sexy photos (and not the ones from Playboy magazine)!
2. A woman that needs a confidence boost. We all occasionally get really tired of looking at these glossy magazines with “perfect” models on every page. Well, now it can be you looking back from a sexy picture. Why should only models have all the fun in front of the camera? Boudoir photography will help you discover that secret seductress in you!
3. A woman that is already confident and just wants to strut her sexy stuff in front of the camera and have some fun! Why not just make it all about you and give yourself a treat? It’ll be your little secret!
4. A woman that wants to capture her beauty forever. Lets face it, none of us are getting younger. 30 years from now a boudoir photo shoot will be the proof of your beauty. A Boudoir photo album will be one of your most cherished possessions.
5. A woman that’s been married for a long time and well….wants to revamp her private life with her husband.
6. A woman that is thinking of having a baby and wants to have a reference point of what she wants her body to look like after the baby.
7. A woman sized 0 to……100, well maybe there is not such size but you get the point, there is no size, weight, or height limitations. Every woman is beautiful in her own special way and boudoir photography is there to help you bring it out. I can always use the Photoshop magic wand!
To sum up, pretty much any woman is a great candidate for a boudoir photography session. The only quality you need to have is well, to actually be a woman!
How to prepare for your shoot
1. Take care of any waxing/shaving in the sensitive areas at least the 3-4 days before to avoid irritation and redness.
2. Make sure you drink plenty of water 24 hrs before to avoid dehydration and looking tired.
3. Avoid fatty & salty foods, which can make you bloated.
4. Make sure that your hair is dry and clean when you arrive for your shoot. Don't put your hair in a pony tail it can make a dent in your hair.
5. If you plan on cutting or coloring your hair make sure to have it done at lease 2 weeks before the shoot in case you need to fix any problems.
6.Make sure your nails are how you want them in the pictures.
7. Get a good night sleep!
8. Wear loose clothing before the shoot to prevent marks on the skin.
Please note • Your privacy is very important before, after and during your boudoir shoot.. All women that appear on here have given permission for their images to be displayed on this site. Your secret AND IMAGES are SAFE with ME !

New Pricing Structure

As of April 1, 2011 my pricing structure will be changing- for the better ! I have listened to several of you mention what your needs are & what works best for you. And YOU my clients are why I am here ! Session fee stayed the same- I did add a deluxe session fee for those who want a little bit more. CD price stayed the same price. New exciting option- as soon as your session is over you can now view your images and choose your proofs for me to edit ! After hearing this comment a million times over "oh Steph there are SO MANY ! How will I ever choose ?" I have decided to benefit us both I will be limiting proof choices to 30 or 60 images- depending on your session. Think back to your last session- look how many proofs you had- out of those what was your total number of poses you ordered ? So narrowing it down really doesnt seem that bad now. If you are a baby plan member- you have the option to use old pricing packages or new pricing structure. Also those of you that have had a session in the last 3 months and have not ordered- you will have the option to order either way as well. All regular sessions after today will go by new pricing structure. So head on over to my website to check it out - www.stephallenphotography.com

CD Sale- All PAST sessions that you have ordered from- CDs are now HALF OFF !! This does NOT include weddings. Please email or call Steph to get your CD today !!
