I will start this blog off with the a story of a this clients second shoot with us here at Boushie Babes Photography. The day started out with me cleaning and preparing the studio, this shoot was my first hoot after the shut down during covid. I had to clean and iron sheets, and wipe everything down, with covid at the time I was unable to provide hair and makeup due to the shut down. She did her own hair and makeup, she is the one who got me into makeup years ago, so she was all for glamming herself up, and straightening her hair.
This is a view of the studio before the shoot while we where chatting and setting up.
She had waited to do her second shoot until she had a few new body suites and outfits she was excited to get photos done again.So, Ladies get a few body suites, they are my new fav. She had also been working out more and had toned up her body since her first shoot over a year ago. She was proud of the work she put in and wanted to show her new body off.
Below is one of her shots from our first session.
She is a gamer so we used a controller as a prop for this shot. Her man play Fallout, and had the sign in the back ground she brought it in for a few shots.
When she came in for her second shoot, she asked to bring her pups, I said yes since our pups know each other and get along. Okay, our pups are litter mates, so they had a play date while we had a play date.
Below you will see a few puppy poses that happened during the shoot. Hato was more than happy to pose for a test shot on the bed first,and Atlas was admiring his mama, and needed butt scratches from me too. We had lots of laughs with the pups that day.
A few puppy shots we took, they had fun, we had fun.
So here I will show you a few shots from behind the scenes and then the end result in the next slide. So in the first shot she was practicing a boudie pose that we used earlier in the shoot,while I moved the set around. In the next photo she is posing for a few silhouette shots, I was working on those and my standing poses during this shoot. Next, we have an image of me showing her straight from the camera shots and how they looked. Then we went back to the pose for a different view and angle. The next shot is a shot from between takes of the model stretching her back, the more awkward the pose the better the shot, these sessions are a bit of a work out in themselves. The last one is of her sister, who was helping on set that day, just chilling on the couch since we did chill some too.
These final shots are the final images, with some light retouching. #BeautytoBombshell #BoushieBabes
“ My last shoot was so much fun! It was overall a great experience. I was very excited to finally be able to do this shoot, and it made me feel so beautiful and powerful. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, I am so thrilled with the final result. For anyone on the fence about doing a shoot, I would highly recommend that you do it. It’s always fun and uplifting experience, tailored for you. It’s a worth while investment for yourself.” Thea, 20
That concludes this blog post for to today. I will post more behind the scenes at a later date and time. These sessions are interactive, the more you interact, the more fun we have. Yes, I use tricks and things for posing and lighting and other things, but it shows when the clients actually let go and have some fun too. It really shows up when the clients are willing to let themselves be seen and photographed, and step out of their every day normal. These sessions show case the bad ass woman you already are!!! Much love ladies.
