Sloan Family Session St Augustine FL

After 5 year of photographing families, I have realized each session is so unique and uplifting every time. It never gets old, or mundane. I was reassured of this when I shot the Sloan family at their beautiful home in St Augustine Florida. 

Pricilla and little sister Bailey were over by the old tree when I knew I wanted this first shot. 

After, the family were throwing around the football and I had them play a little game.  Dad and daughter tackle was the kicker in this amazing session. 

I feel the most intriguing thing  about photography is the relationships you become part of during a session. You are capturing a moment in thier lives that they can sit back and see everyday hanging on thier walls. The fun, the laughter, the moments between parents and children. Even the silly sibling faces that had even me laughing!


Psychological Benefits from a Boudoir or Glamour Session

Psychological Benefits from a Boudoir or Glamour Session 

Have you wondered besides a great gift what boudoir could do for you? Did you know the benefits of boudoir can be life changing to your outlook? Here are just a few of the amazing ways it can increase your mood

 

  •  Increases confidence 

 

  • Transforms your thoughts on body image 

 

  • Creates a space where you can feel free and open

 

  • Creates an empowering feeling of body acceptance

 

  • Lessens (if not diminishes  completely)  the need for outside approval 

 

 

 

Increases confidence - The majority of every client who comes into the studio is either shy, or perhaps even unsure if this is the right choice for them. Some feel they are not photogenic. They talk  about weight or skin issues. However during the session they start to gain confidence and I watch it happen right in front of my lens. Their once negative words turn from "I feel so funny" to  " wow I am loving this!" This is because we are not focusing on your thoughts before you entered the studio. We are focusing on every progressive thought that you have during your session and growing on that new confidence. You will leave with this confidence as it is not mine to keep. It is yours to build on  each day after. 

 

Transforms your thoughts on body image . What if you realized that everything you thought about body image was wrong? What if I told you that every moment you spend hating your looks could be replaced by loving your entire self? It can happen and i will show you how. Women and men come in a variey of shapes and sizes, so subjecting yourself to beleive you must fit ONE specific image is absurd. I decide which body I am going to have and so will you. 

 

Creates a space where you can feel free and open. Once inside the studio, it is time for you to let everything in the outside world go. This time is for you and you alone. The studio is a fun and lively space for you to relax. You have plenty of time to be mom, wife, sister, and friend. This day is about regaining that self appreciation. So very few places are left where we can feel open and secure at the same time. JT Noir Studios is your place. 

 

Creates an empowering feeling of body acceptance. Boudoir and glamour is not for a specific body type. It is for a specific feeling. It is for any woman or man that want to deepen the love of their bodies. It is a wonderful feeling to accept everything about yourself no matter what part of your journey you are on.  

 

Lessens (if not diminishes  completely)  the need for outside approval. Lets face it. We all at some point looked for approval of others in some aspect of our lives. But what if I told you that doing a session could lessen if not  completely rid  the need for outside approval on your body. In some cases I have had clients tell me it went even further than just body approval. They seemed lighter after their sessions and I am not talking about weight. I am speaking of their head held higher, their tone less negative and their smile more vibrant. They transform into a person they were before societal pressures got the best of them. 

 

So now your saying "sure--I will become a whole new person simply because I shot a boudoir session?". 

No. Not at all. I am saying you will solidify the person you already are. You will just be brushing off the negativity that is drowning your idea of who you really are!

So what is holding you back from booking? My goal is to photograph as many people as I possibly can. This year I want sheer volume. I am going to shoot as many women and men possible in hopes to change thier idea on who they felt they needed to look like, and in return realize who they are is even more fabulous!  

So who wants to be part of my 2015 campaign to change the norm?

A Little something natural

I love natural beauty. I am not a fan of over photoshopped looks. plastic skin and 2 inch waists created by liquifying. When people come into my studio, there is 2 things they know right off from the start about my work.

 

1) It is raw and edgy

2) It does not fit the norm of boudoir photography

They come to me Because of these 2 things. They know feminine can be beautiful. But some want more than that. They want dark and bold, mixed with romantic and classy. They want an atmospheere that questions the streotypical bueaty that society has come to be. They want fresh, new ideas, without sacrificing the feel of a boudoir shoot. 

 

I asked Lauren not to wear much makeup. A little mascara, and light gloss. That is it. Fresh, clean, yet sultry and confident. 

The black set:

Backdrops- bare walls and wood floors.

Lighting- reflectors and windows allowing natural light  to seep in. 

The white set:

Chaise lounge, long sheet curtains. Again, all natural light. 

50mm1.8, ISO 400, 1/100
