In case you’re on the fence about doing a boudoir session at our Boudoir Marathon on January 25, here’s why I think you should.

Not unlike many women, I never feel completely happy with my body. Then a thought occured to me. How many times have I looked back at a situation or myself and thought, why didn’t I just enjoy what I had when I had it? It wasn’t perfect or ideal but it is good. When I’m old and my body fails me, I’m going to look back at what I am now and realize just how beautiful I was. Why don’t we cut that part out and just realize however overweight, wrinkly or imperfect we are, that we owe it to ourselves to celebrate the good things about our bodies?

That is why I believe every woman should do a boudoir and portrait session, even if it’s just for herself. You might think “oh I just want to lose five pounds” and then ten years have passed and you never did the session. Now is the time to celebrate who you are.

Normally my half hour rate starts at $250. With this marathon session, you’re geting me for a half hour AND amazing hair and makeup, which usually starts at $150. You’ll be done up all day and can go out that night looking fancy! You also get all the edited files. This means I give you all the good ones. I want to let you choose your favorite of yourself. And I shoot a lot! Just ask my past clients.

Now is the time. I hope to see you and celebrate you!
xoxo,
Dana

Happy New Year to All! And a special Happy New Year to all the newly engaged couples that rang in 2014! It’s never too early to start looking for a photographer that is a right fit to capture your special day. If you’re newly engaged or if you know a couple who is, I’d love to hear your story and introduce you to my work.

I am so excited for this year! A new website, new blog and new fun things coming soon. Yay!

This is our Christmas Card….

Evan painted our little scene on a big background and used stands to hold it up. Then I set up the camera on a ladder with a timer to do this self portrait style. We had to do something with our canoe! P.S If anyone is up for a shoot in our canoe, let’s make it happen!

We hope your Christmas was filled with lots of love, laughter and cheer! And Happy New Year!

Since I can’t yet post a lot of my families from this year since they’re still sending out cards, here’s a fun shoot from last year. Can’t wait to show you Becca’s shoot from this year!

You might recognize my model dog Dorothy Mantooth from our famous OZ shoot earlier this year.

Doing all these Christmas Card shoots are getting me in the Christmas mood!
