We brainstormed how to make this truly an experience, fun, up lifting.

Swing? Clouds? Wardrobe? Cupcakes? Music?

Boudoir, The Get To Know Me, Session | Rochester, NY Boudoir photography

I hate the word MINI.

There is nothing mini about anything we do here!

Let's call these from now on, an EVENT!

It is almost that blasted holiday... 

I hate it. I'm sorry, but I do. It is so over done. One half of you as a couple are overthinking, dreaming, obsessing. And the other half is likely unaware what month it is. 

Those of us who have something to sell are kinda boxed into programing our calendars around these dates. They are like pre-packaged marketing pin points. 

It is cute because hearts? red? love? I love all those things!

It is just the expectations, the pressure, and the norm.

Let's kinda use this prepackaged holiday as a trigger and jump off from there!

Come do a "Get to Know Me" Session with boudoir! 

I know you are curious. Likely nervous. Perhaps just totally excite and waiting for the right moment.

These will take place at our new studio! 

I will have 2 areas you  can use and you can bring 2 "outfits".

We (you and I) will spend about 15 minutes with each look. 

I will lead you! You don't have to come expecting to know what to do!

If you love it and it is just what you wanted? Perfect! You get to choose 15 images in a totally private gallery and be on your way! You can add on one of our gorgeous books if you want. Super popular. 

If you want more, even more perfect! We can set up a full session for you! 4-5 looks, hair and make up and really customize it for you!

These will take place:

January 19th, January 22nd, January 27th
$300 includes 15 digital files

Have Questions still? Call! Email! I am happy to answer them for you!

Are not quite ready yet?

Join the LIST.

LEARN more about boudoir and join the conversation. 

 

 

 

To me, boudoir is suggestive, inspired by fashion, and in every way about the subject and in now way about me as a photographer.

Rochester NY Wedding Giveaway | Rochester, NY Wedding Photographer

We are having so much fun spreading the word about our give away! We wanted to share all the info. Have you entered to win yet???

This fall when we were discussing our yearly GIVE we tossed around the idea of giving away wedding photography. I think every holiday season all those feelings of gratitude over come us. We really feel lucky, blessed, and truly thankful to get to do what we love and support our families all at the same time.  We don't always have cash to give, but we do have our photography skills! We seriously enjoy having the opportunity to share it as much as we can.

It seems the universe was ready and waiting. That night I chatted with my friend Karen, Dolce Amica Event Planning and Design. She was feeling bummed because she had really wanted to reach out to a story she had seen on the local news, but couldn't find a way to. She really wanted to give someone her services and truly help a local bride.  

Well that began the snow ball of Love Your Story Rochester. Karen and Paul and I began talking with our wedding vendor friends and it grew into something truly incredible!!

We have now been accepting love stories since Thanksgiving and we love reading them. 

You have until January 1st to submit yours!  www.loveyourstoryrochester.com

Go to the website, check out all the amazing vendors involved, see what you can win! 

But most importantly, during this season, when we are all so truly lucky, give. Whatever you can! I know it isn't always money. BUT you do have time? Even if it is giving to someone you know. Helping? Reading a book? It spreads. We all know it does. 

Happy Holidays to all our amazing clients and clients to come! 

Give when you can! Love is all you need. 

 

XOXO,

Chelse

James and Binita- Woodcliff Wedding

Love is patient love is kind.

So many people choose this as the reading at thier wedding. I love hearing it. Love hearing the speeches.

This day totally fell into place. It didn't have to. It was off and on crazy rain and storms. BUT it just all worked out. 

Rain is luck on a wedding day..although I don't think this couple will need it.
