B-Pic CRAZINESS

ok, so I have been frantically trying to keep up with my requests for Boudoir session information. I am putting this on the blog so I can point people in this direction. I have 84 emails about Boudoir alone since the end of February. YIKES! That's a ton!
Here's the 411:

These shoots are a lot of fun! I think most people find it nerve wracking at first but then feel at ease in no time and just start having fun! I don't know one person who has regretted doing it and the guys I have talked to have thought it was the best thing their wife or fiance has ever done for them! The shoots can be done at my house (pics on my blog www.sjmacky.blogspot.com) or at a hotel of your choice. If you choose the hotel you would pay for the room. Some hotels give discounted rates if you only want to rent for part of the day instead of a whole night. The cost of the session when it's done at my house is only $250 and that includes a high res DVD with all of your images (usually around 75-125..sometimes more) and I "touch-up" (meaning airbrushing trouble spots and stuff) about 20 of your favorites. I also put them in a passcode protected gallery so you have a little online slideshow.

Here's the bad news. I am the BUSISEST person I know. I work a full time 40 hour a week job (really 60 hours...you teachers out there can feel my pain, right?) and also do weddings, seniors,engagements, and boudoir. Occasionally I even make time to see my family. ha ha... My slots are very limited right now. And what is happening is I get so many requests for info and dates, if you take a week to get back to me on a date that I sent you, it may be gone when you email me back. If you want a date, you need to let me know as soon as you can after I give you one because chances are it will be gone if you don't. Unfortunately dates get taken fast.

Hello...Georgeous!

Ya know Bpic shoots are kinda like gambling...A lot of times I don't know the girls who contact me so it's always a surprise when they show up at my door. Well Sunday I hit the jackpot. I got to take pictures of one of the cutest girls ever. She has to remain a mystery because she has a high profile job and if racy pics of her on the internet ever surfaced it could cause quite a scandal. Anyway, I did have permission to show some images that didn't really show "the face" which is unfortunate because some of the images of this girl are stunning. In fact, Bryan happened to walk by when I was editing some of these (which is a HUGE no-no for the fam to do) and he commented that he thought this mystery girl was one of the sexiest girls he has ever seen me photograph...which is a HUGE compliment because I have photographed a lot of beautiful girls! The best thing though, is I don't think this girl knows how geourgeous she really is!

I had the pleasure of working with two very beautiful and fun girls this weekend for a bpic shoot at my house. Both girls are getting married on April 26th and wanted to do something special for their men! I love these shoots. They are so much fun! Here's just a few of my favorites...

drumroll please......

Last Sunday kelly Manno and I did our first real Boudoir shoot and it was SOOOOOO much fun...I think I may even like it more than shooting weddings...which is a huge thing because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE wedding photography! First off all the girls were awesome and were up for anything...they all gave permission to post too which totally rocks...but when you're as gorgeous as these girls I guess it's easy to say "yeah post them"...I cannot wait to do this again. We shot at the Ritz and the room was soooo nice! I want to set up a new marathon session. If I can get enough girls interested we can rent a room at the Ritz (possibly again) The price of the shoot was $250...but everyone got all their files on a high res CD, a passcode protected slideshow set to music, 50 4x6 proofs and a huge discount for a book made through www.life-in-print.com...also the price includes "retouching" of the images....which is a huge deal if there are "trouble spots"...If we can find a location cheaper than the Ritz (or free...like your house or mine) then the price can go down about $50...The room is expensive for me to rent there...I think they quoted us a price originally of over $400. We realized while we were there that these pics can really be taken anywhere...all we need is a bed and some nice natural light...and possibly a couch or chair...I highly encourage you to do this kind of shoot even if you are just in the "thinking about it" stage...Everyone was a little nervous and self consious at first...but within 20 minutes the girls realized...hey this is fun...and totally got into it. I promis it would be a gift that your fiance or husband would never forget!!
Here is a slideshow with some more images...check it out!
