    Lifestyle Headshots | Iowa City Photographer

    Admit it – your “professional” headshots are old.  So old that your hair has changed, your clothes are out of style, and if Mr. You-Know-Who saw you walking down the street, he’d have to do a double-take.
    (I can hear you say “yep” while reading this.  You think I’m psychic!)
    With the launch of my new studio, I’m also offering lifestyle headshot appointments.  You also have the option of professional hair and makeup!  Give me a call soon so your Linkedin and professional networks are updated before the New Year!

    NSFW – Aliah Amsterdam Boudoir Session || Iowa City Wedding Photographer

    Boudoir is about body confidence and showing off your feminine and sexy side (whether you think you’ve got it or not).  There is a fine line between trashy boudoir and tasteful boudoir.  I wholeheartedly believe there are very few women who believe holding props or wearing fishnet tights and stilettos makes them any sexier than being barefoot and nearly naked.  We discuss this when we meet for your session, so don’t be afraid to tell me what you want – and I promise you I will create some of the most beautiful images of yourself that you’ve ever seen.

    We had WAY too much fun in Amsterdam shooting Aliah’s in-home boudoir session.  This walkup apartment is stunning and I wish I could go back!  I definitely felt the moodiness of the light and edited a little bit darker than I normally do, but I’m obsessed.  I love when clients want to use their own homes to help customize their boudoir session.  I am also a huge fan of going more natural for photos.  Aliah did her own hair and makeup for this!  Her wardrobe was purchased in Ireland and Amsterdam and is available to use in my studio!
