I lost myself trying to please everyone else. Now I’m losing everyone while I’m trying to find myself.
This quick session with Ms J happened deep in the woods of Canada last Summer. My time with her was brief but oh so loved. I could have taken her confidence, bottled it up, and sold it like gold. Women like this give the strength I need to continue “finding” myself and I am so grateful when souls like this come into my life.
So here's how this shoot goes. Amy finds killer boots. Amy meets Ms A. Amy finds amazing location. Ms A agrees to location and brings the most incredible vintage lingerie. Amy has a matching denim jacket in the back of her car and randomly has Ms A throw it on last minute. MAGIC IS MADE. We literally shot these images for three minutes and I am obsessed! I feel like my last minute sessions turn out so incredibly and I just want to be spontaneous more often. I hope you all love these as much as I do! Happy Tuesday!
I didn't want this session to end but holy hell it was freezing. October is supposed to be colorful and beautiful and warm. The later of the three wasn't the case. We are talking 35 degrees with gusting winds. I just wanted to grab her and hug her most of the session to keep her warm. She powered through though and in the short time we were together, magic happened. I don't think these images would have turned out the same had it not been windy. I'm literally in love. And Tahnee is just one of those souls thats so damn nice, you have to question if she's real. And then you snap out of and realize that she is whats good in this world. Thank you babe for coming and spending the day. You have an amazing spirit and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

This woman is just incredible! She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders during my career and pretty much all throughout life! I am so grateful for her! She sent me such an amazing testimonial earlier today and I knew I had to share it as part of this blog post! Thank you Cindy for sharing this with me! You definitely made me tear up and I feel so lucky to know you!! And girl, you are STUNNING!!!
"Well, here I am!!! 58 years young and still enjoying my life. I clean houses for a living, I have 3 children and 11 grandchildren. Who would have thought right? Love my family so much and my dear love, John. I want to share with you how my boudoir shoot went. When Amy let my know what day and time, I was like " okay cool" "no big deal" until I was driving to meet up with her. My heart was pounding so hard but I kept saying "I can't wait". I have always watched Amy's page with all of the beautiful people and thought, darn it Cindy, let's do this!!! Older women are so beautiful too but we don't see it in ourselves until you look at that first picture. "WOW" I AM BEAUTIFUL!!! My biggest fear, was not knowing what to wear, so thank you Amy for your help and expertise. The shoot was so amazing, creative, fun, sexy, thrilling, scary, the best time of my life. My favorite part about all this is how I felt with each picture that Amy took. I could see myself in the shots she showed me on her camera and felt more confident with every shot. I want all women to get out there, have some fun, and learn to look at themselves as beautiful. I have been showing my pictures to strangers!!! What??? I know, I am so excited about these photos and want other women to do it too. I got a couple of older women interested today! These make me want to cry and laugh because I can't believe how I look. Amy is so wonderful in helping you stand, positioning your hands or arms, and telling you how to position your chin so you don't get the double chin that we see every day. Amy Cloud, I love you so much and I am so forever grateful for you helping me to feel and be beautiful and I would not hesitate for one minute to put every picture on Facebook or hang them in every room in my house. So tastefully done my love."
I returned home from a two week stint in Europe last week and am smitten over the images from this boudoir session in Amsterdam. This is just a small sneak peek. More to come soon...
I cannot begin to explain how much I love these photos! I traveled to Omaha a few months back and literally did a quick 20 minute shoot with this babe! Just unreal!!! I love the how many doors boudoir photography has opened for me. I've visited so many amazing places and have met even better people. I swear there are at least 100 shots from this shoot I love so I'll totally be sharing more!
I recently traveled to Iowa City to meet up with my friend Stephanie who styled and put together this awesome shoot (thanks again girl) before we flew out for Ireland! She was definitely speaking my love languages when it came to styling this boudoir shoot! Pretty girl, fun colored hair, tattoos, funky and off beat location. Oh and black... black lingerie is always a winner in my book. Here's a small snippet from this shoot! Two more outfits coming soon!
