Senior Glamour

Keeping things sweet and simple is what we did during Paige's glamor photo shoot. We had a great time for three solid hours in the studio, with three changes of clothing, and combing out her styled hairdo in the end, to catch in the breeze; and Mr. Piao, better known as, "Pepe', my handsome dog, got into a couple of pictures too. I'm glad Paige didn't mind, and in so doing, I think we really captured her personality.
Paige is a simple hardworking senior who likes to have fun, she's engaged to be married, works full time and goes to school full time!! "How do you do that", I asked?  "Not easily", Paige responds; "but the bills need to be paid".  She takes care of her ailing mom and siblings living at home; all the while attending Astronaut High School here in Titusville, FL;  who gladly helps adjust  her schedule so she can work full time and still graduate this year from school.
My young client didn't know where to begin searching for a photographer to take her senior pictures, so she asked her Aunt in Ohio to find someone for her here in Titusville.  Paige's aunt, Heather Price, (another photographer) from, Life's Eternal Productions, Bryan, Ohio, recommended me.  Thank you Heather.

 Deciding to take advantage of my glamor photo session, Paige put her senior pictures on hold till later this year. The most important task when taking glamor pictures of a young girl is to keep the poses age appropiate. All girls enjoy looking glamorous but keeping it sweet and simple is an acquired art. Even after I take the shot, I always double check for my client's approval.

The only obstacle I encountered with this photo shoot was picking the final photos; Paige is an absolutely beautiful girl and every picture came out great!  She told me she use to model, so that explains why  she posed so nicely and naturally; and that special something captured in her eyes made each picture come to life. Thank you Paige, it was a pleasure photographing you; I can't wait til we do your senior pics. Ciao.

Glamor Rebirth!

It has been my greatest pleasure to become acquainted with Sue Bryce, an acclaimed photographer in her own right, specializing in Glamor for the average woman.  Sue works out of Australia and talks with a most amusing Kiwi accent,(she's adorable I might add too); on her own accord, Sue admits the experience of seeing women marvel and gasp when viewing their photos for the very first time is the greatest pleasure she personally receives from women, and gives back to women who have never thought of themselves as glamorous, or past being glamorous or even pretty.

  Before
The inspiration I have received from Sue Bryce's work was priceless; I watched the transformation from average to glamorous with every beat of my heart just bursting with joy and compassion, as women of all walks of life, figures and ages glowed and cried with excitement and renewed self esteem as they view themselves in photos looking absolutely stunning; this was enough to convince myself I too wanted to share in that merriment making. How true the saying, "There is no greater joy as when you give."

I have held my very first Glamor Photo Session, and yes the response is the same; she can hardly believe it's herself . I am so elated I can't wait to do more. Where are you women? Come! 
After
Glamor photo shoots run about 2-3 hours. Make up is done and hair is styled; bring a little bit of jewelry, just a touch, and a few changes of clothes to spruce everything up.

Lovely Angie
Enjoy! Ciao.
