Denver Wedding Photography | Colorado Wedding Photographer

What woman doesn’t want to feel like a supermodel? Well now is your chance! On March 18, I will be hosting a marathon day of boudoir photography sessions. Surprise the special man in your life with an album that is meant for his eyes only. I guarantee he will love it and will consider it the best present ever!

Your boudoir photography session will begin with the complete pampering session of professional makeup application by Jessica from Confident Faces and hair styling by Erin Gannon. You’ll probably want to make plans to go out that night because you will look absolutely gorgeous after Jessica and Erin work their magic!

Your boudoir photography session will take place at a posh Denver hotel suite (details to come upon reservation) and includes up to 3 outfit changes. Bring lots of accessories including high heels and jewelry. You can get as creative as you want and bring props such as a guitar, cowgirls boots and cowgirl hat, masks, etc. Whatever you would like! Or more like, whatever your man would like.

Your session includes a Little Black Book Album containing the best photos from your session. This album can be wrapped as a very special present!

The investment is $350 and payable via cash, check, or credit. Additional products are available for purchase at your session including album upgrades, digital negatives of your photos, prints and canvases.

To book your session, email me at laura@lauragravelle.com or use the contact form on my website. I look forward to hearing from you!

Here are some frequently asked questions.

1. Do you retouch/airbrush the photos?
Yes. Every single photo that you order or that is in your product (album, prints, etc) will be retouched and edited. None of us are perfect, and we could all use a little help! The faces that appear on the cover of magazines all have retouching. Believe me, now that I know how to use Photoshop, I don’t look at magazines the same anymore. In real life those women look just like us, blemishes and all!

2. All of the women I see in boudoir photos look so perfect and skinny. I am not skinny or perfect in any way and I’m worried my pictures won’t look that great.
Just as I said above, no woman is perfect outside of the Photoshop world. I shoot women of ALL shapes, ALL sizes and ALL ages. Boudoir is truly for everyone. Every woman’s body is unique and beautiful in it’s own way and when you walk into your boudoir session, you’ll begin to feel like the supermodel you truly are. So whether you are young and in the best shape of your life, have had a baby and have stretch marks, or are seeing places starting to sag, a boudoir session is for you. You will feel amazing afterwards!

3. I’m so nervous and have no idea how to pose for these types of photos! Help!
I will guide you every step of the way. I don’t expect you to know how to pose and how to position yourself. I will tell you exactly what to do, where to look, where to place your body and what expression to give me. You will not ever be left hanging and I promise you will have SO MUCH FUN. Every woman walks in nervous and walks out feeling confident and beautiful! The most common line I hear is “That wasn’t so bad! I actually had a blast!”

4. Do you have any tips/advice on on what lingerie I should bring?
There are so many styles of lingerie out there. Depending on your style and taste, the sky is truly the limit on what you decide to wear for your boudoir session. If I had to recommend one thing that flatters all body types it would be corsets. And always wear heels! Overall I just recommend bringing the type of lingerie that your man will like the most.

Do I really need to get my hair and makeup done?
Yes, absolutely! It looks stunning in the photos and it will help you feel your best – which will result in better photos. I recently had my own makeup done for a photo shoot and I was floored at what a difference it made. I will always have my make up done from now on for any photo shoot I am in!

When I think about some things that I am bummed about, one of the big things is that I moved to Denver just as Amy and I were reconnecting back in Michigan.We have found that is was very easy to become friends. I don’t know about you, but sometimes it is hard to find other people that you connect with right away. So when I do find those people, I’m ready to dive in and make our friendship all that it can be. I have felt that easy connection with Amy, but now sadly we primarily have to do it through Skype and phone chats. Over the holidays I was back in Michigan and one of my highlights was shooting a New Year’s Eve wedding as Amy’s assistant. She is very professional and brides love her. She is an amazing Michigan wedding photographer and shoots weddings all over including Grand Rapids and Detroit. She is still booking weddings for 2012. You can contact her by visting her website – www.amyboevephotography.com – or emailing her directly at amy@amyboevephotography.com

Amy has branched out and has started what has become a very popular boudoir photography business. She has her own urban studio located in downtown Grand Rapids. Woman have the opportunity to feel glamorous and pampered when they book an appointment with her. Amy’s professional makeup artist – Allison Bower – glams women up and helps them feel their best before Amy brings out her camera. Do you live in Michigan and happen to be looking for a Valentine’s Day gift for the special man in your life? Contact Amy to book a spot in her Valentine’s boudoir day marathons. You’re sure to walk out of her studio feeling like a supermodel! Check out her Grand Rapids boudoir photography website.

We actually got to see each other a lot over my holiday trip. Matt, Lily, Calvin and I had our family photos taken at Amy’s awesome studio – you can view them HERE. Then I got to return the favor by taking some professional head shots for Amy’s boudoir business. She looks so gorgeous doesn’t she?!?!? She looks so fabulous that I had to share them!

Since I have chosen not to post examples on my website at this time to protect the privacy of individual clients, i end up getting lots of people who ask me what boudoir photography is. So lets see what Wikipedia has to say! -
A great deal of “boudoir” is now created in a photographer’s studio or in luxury hotel suites, where it has become very fashionable to create a set of sensual images for women in “boudoir style”. This often takes the shape of partly clothed images or images in lingerie, and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise their future husbands. Although in the past there were many negative connotations associated with boudoir photography, in recent years the trend has begun to gain momentum, and the entire look of boudoir photography has begun to change.

Bridal boudoir photography is becoming particularly popular. Brides often have an album of boudoir style photographs made as a present for their soon to be husbands. Other common themes for boudoir photography are anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, weight loss, maternity, and for soldiers overseas.

If you missed this marathon boudoir photography opportunity, another one has been scheduled for Saturday, March 19. Please contact me at laura@lauragravelle.com to schedule the appointment that your husband will not mind that you spend money on!
