Group Boudoir Session Announcement

Since group sessions are so popular (I booked a record 10-lady session over a weekend in June!), I’m announcing a couple of dates for group sessions. If you’re interested in a boudoir session and want to save a little money, please contact me to sign up. Space is limited to five per day. If you’ve already booked a session with me and would like to join a group, send me an e-mail.

Dates:

April 19 + 20 (full)
May 17 + 18 (3 spots left)
June 28 + 29 (full)
August 16 + 17 (5 spots left)

How it works:
- $50 discount off all boudoir packages
- There must be at least three ladies signed up
- Groups of five are eligible for a complimentary hotel suite (I like the fabulous Hotel Marlowe!) if their packages add up to $1300. If the total is less, I will split the cost of the hotel room with the group.

Boudoir FAQ, including information about group sessions

If this week is any indication, it’s going to be another huge year for boudoir photography. I’m so excited and thrilled to be working with so many lovely women. I’ve compiled a list of FAQ, including information about booking group sessions (this seems to be very popular). I’m always available to answer any other questions I didn’t address. Check out the page here.

Boudoir on a budget

Since many of my boudoir clients are brides-to-be on a budget, I’ve decided to add one more package to my new boudoir packages. I’m including with it a CD of high resolution images, so you can make your own Snapfish or Blurb book or order your own prints. Here are the details:

$225
- 60-minute session
- Online gallery
- 20 edited images (black & white and color versions)
- CD of high resolution images (for making your own prints and albums)

Boudoir Portfolio

I’m in stage 2 of my website redesign; the boudoir portfolio! Take a peek here. Next up is the kids portfolio.

Wedding portfolio

I’m in the midst of a major website redesign, part of which is building a wedding portfolio. I decided it was time to put all my wedding work in one spot! My website isn’t quite ready yet, but I’m almost done with the wedding portfolio. It still needs a little tweaking, but I couldn’t wait to share it. Special thanks to Ali Rosa for showing me the wedding photography ropes. Click here for a sneak peek.

Here’s a link to my wedding rates. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I’d love to meet you!

An all new boudoir portfolio is next up on my to-do list, so stay tuned!

Thushan ate grasshoppers

I’m seriously grossed out by this. I wrote a post a few weeks ago about my good friend Thushan, who is traveling the world and posting his photos and videos on Boston.com for the world to see. I’ve made it my duty as his friend/fellow photographer to share his adventures with my readers. One of his first adventures was in Oaxaca. If there is one thing I know for certain about Thushan it’s that he is a picky eater, so this must’ve been quite difficult for him to swallow. Check out his culinary adventures here.

First boudoir of 2008

If 2007 was any indication, 2008 will be a very busy year for boudoir. Here are some of my favorites shots from my first (of hopefully many, many) boudoir session of 2008, taken in my new space in Arlington. The natural light is incredible here and I’m really excited to experiment with it!

Where’s Melissa?

I’ll be in Las Vegas from Sat., Jan. 5 until Fri., Jan.  11 (for work, not play!) I’ll be checking my e-mail once a day. Vegas photos to come soon!

She just wants to dance

I’m still catching up on posting my favorite wedding shots from the past few months. I shot this wedding with Ali in the fall. There’s a video floating around the Internet of a couple doing a crazy first dance. They had nothing on this couple. The bride loved to dance and was having the time of her life. The DJ brought lights that I had a blast playing off of.

2008 Boudoir Rates

2007 was a huge year for boudoir, so for this year, I’ve created a variety of boudoir packages for all budgets. I’ve added Album Crafters albums and folios to several packages. They provide some of the finest ribbon-bound albums around. Click here to check out my new packages.
