Boudior Shoot

A few weeks ago I was given the incredible opportunity to do a boudoir session with a close friend of mine, and let me say, I was so nervous when she first asked me to do this for her!!!!! 1) I've never had a shoot like this before, 2) We're good friends but the thought of, "Are we really there yet?" kept coming to mind, 3) Another thought of, "I don't have the right equipment!", I could probably get all the way up to 20 reasons why I was terrified to do this type of shoot, but I decided to jump in and do it. I was blessed about one month before the shoot with a new external flash, which is a MUST when shooting something indoors. Leading up to the shoot, my friend and I were bouncing all kinds of ideas off each other and were getting super excited and when the actual day of the shoot came the nerves in the room were palpable!!! We were both so incredibly nervous! But, she put on some jams, and I literally mean jams (we listened to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.) and it completely loosened us both up and I was able to capture some incredibly beautiful shots! The shoot was so classy, including cute lingerie, some costume necklaces, etc. Unfortunately, due to the privacy request of my friend, I'm not going to publish any of those pictures, but felt the need to share the experience of this first time opportunity.
