Miss A - Maternity Glamour
Miss A heard about me from a past client who took her maternity pictures with me. She said she just had to have pictures taken in our flowing goddess dress. A is about 32 weeks along with her beautiful baby E. Since I'm only a couple of weeks behind her, we really had fun. A lot of absent-minded belly scratching made Adeana laugh. Hey, we can't help it. We had a great time and it was such a joy to pamper a momma-to-be. Sometimes it's hard to feel glamorous when you're creating a human, but that's what the day was all about. We photographed a variety of outfits (including a couple that are for her husband's eyes only). A, it was a wonderful day in our studio and we wish you happy and healthy pregnancy, birth and new baby. Scroll to the bottom for a video of more of her photos!

Miss L - Tallahassee, Florida
I love it when good clients recommend a friend. L and I have been trying to work out a shoot, but we could never coordinate schedules. She lived in South Florida and I never visited the area at a good time. So when she moved up north to the Tallahassee area, we got it together! I could not be happier that we did. Full disclosure: I was sooo nervous before her shoot. She had worked with other photographers before and had both good and not-so-good experiences. I wanted to make sure this was her best experience yet and that her pictures were flawless. She invested in a deluxe shoot which means 2 different makeup looks and 6 wardrobe changes. Go big or go home, right???
We started with a hollywood glamour look and draped her in our red satin sheets and our diamante necklace. Then we decked her out in the studio's Agent Provocateur classic black satin corset and set up a glittering backdrop to catch the light from our super awesome utility lights from Lowe's.
Next Adeana took her to a more contemporary glamour style with her makeup and berry tinted lips. That's when we saw it! She is a dead ringer for Scarlett Johansson. After taking a few dark and mysterious portraits, I took that idea and ran with it. I couldn't resist playing with some pink tulle, mixing it up with a black plunging teddy and then stripping her down in front of the brick wall because she told me how she just loves texture in photographs.
L, you were such a pleasure to photograph. You are so gorgeous and funny. That's a rare combination. Thank you for allowing me to share your beautiful pictures.

Miss C | Southern Belle
Ok, I've been spreading out Miss C's fabulous photos for several months now because there are just too many of this fabulous lady to show them all in one post or two or three. Haha. So this is her final post... until her next shoot.
Wear This... Not That for Your Boudoir Session
Shopping for your boudoir shoot is entirely different than shopping for your private boudoir. Just because he LOVES it or it's popular, does not mean it will translate to classy, flattering photos. Here's a guide to finding an alternative to common mistakes that I see at almost every session. What not to wear for your boudoir.
Miss C | Brand New Mom
I'm going to let C's words speak for me... "Before my shoot I was nervous to say the least. At first I was as excited as one can be but as the shoot day drew closer I was second guessing my decision to go ahead with it. I thought of all the negatives about my body and how they would photograph, I was sure I would be disappointed in the way I looked and feel worse about myself. After having my first child my self-esteem took a big hit, this was a way to boost it back up again.
I sat in the makeup chair feeling like a tired new mother with maybe 2 hours of sleep, I got out of that chair feeling like a goddess.
[During the shoot I felt] comfortable and confident, which is saying a lot considering how little I was wearing! Leslie exudes an aura of confidence in what she does and it's contagious. From my very first pose I knew that I would look beautiful in the photos with her direction.
Stunning does not do my photos justice. They were sexy, classy and all I could have ever hoped for!"
C, I could not agree more. You are an absolutely beautiful woman.

The Most Beautiful Woman in the World - and the cutest kid
Not that I'm biased, but I happen to think my mom and kid are just gorgeous. Don't you agree? My mom asked for some classy and conservative headshots for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. I was happy to oblige. Leo photobombed his way into a few shots, but of course they turned out to be Grandma's favorites. I love you momma. You're my biggest cheerleader and an inspiration.
