the spinelli's | family


Let me 'reintroduce' you to the Spinelli's. Kelly, Sebastian, Braxton & Brookyln. 

I was invited to capture Baby Brooklyn's naming ceremony back in August. We had discussed then, the idea of doing a family photo shoot in the fall. So here it is!

Once again, it was a complete pleasure shooting this family. 
As if their energy, love, and friendly nature wasn't enough, they are simply beautiful {inside & out}!

I hope you enjoy!

what is boudoir?

Bou-doir :: a woman's bedroom or private sitting room

Boudoir has become {in recent years} a very popular style of photography.  While there used to exist strong negative connotations associated with the style, the 21st Century has allowed for a profound embracing of one's sexuality. 

Tasteful compositions in this intimate style, are not only beautiful, they are powerful {& empowering}.

While there exists a sense of voyeurism in boudoir images, there also exists an unspoken understanding that we have been invited in. Invited into 'her' space, because she is comfortable, confident, and approving of her own body.

Bridal Boudoir is a trend that has gained intense momentum, where bride's are choosing to gift their soon-to-be-husband's with these intimate images {which I assure you he enjoys}. They make wonderful anniversary presents,  birthday presents, or Valentine's Day gifts. 

OR sometimes, they make the perfect gift for yourself!

Ashli | Bridal Session

Meet the beautiful {inside & out} Ashli.

She was the perfect model and a pleasure to shoot.

We had a blast capturing two very different 'looks', doing both a Bridal and a Boudoir session all in one day! For half the day, she was a blissful, sweet, romantic {almost ethereal} Bride. After a brief intermission {a girl's got to eat her lunch} she switched almost immediately into a sexy, edgy (hands down fierce} Boudoir model!

Stay tuned for her Boudoir session, but in the meantime, here she is bringing out the dress for one last run in her simply beautiful Bridal shoot!

Enjoy.
