She and Sam have the sweetest little round muffin of a son, Atlas. Here are a few of my favorite of their studio portraits from their Holiday portrait session this year: ...

One of my favorite parts about shooting glamour and boudoir sessions are the 'before and afters.' I love seeing how people react when they flip through one of my before and after albums in the studio, and I love hearing clients tell friends about how they should check out my website to see the makeovers. The thing I don't love hearing is that many people assume that my work is VERY photoshopped because the transformation is, so, well, transformative. The truth is that most of the magic that happens at my studio is created in the makeup chair and right in front of my lens. Let me explain. For starters, almost none of my clients walk around looking like their 'before' shot. Who goes to the office on a Tuesday with no makeup, wearing sweat pants with their hair pulled back in a ponytail? No one.

Remember that you need to exist in photos for your children, no matter what. When they look back at what you've documented of their lives through photographs, you need to be part of those memories, too. Spending an afternoon getting pampered to create a gorgeous photograph of yourself may seem frivolous or indulgent to you, but you know what? For all of those PB&Js and carrot sticks prepared, those hundreds of loads of laundry, for picking up toys, hours of homework, wiping away tears and kissing boo-boos, for cheering in the stands and watching proudly at graduation, YOU deserve to treat yourself and your kids deserve to have a beautiful photograph of you. They will cherish it forever, I promise. ...
