Paris Fashion Boudoir : Isabel

This post is a great example of something new I am working into my boudoir advertising, “Fashion Boudoir”.  This will be offered in the top boudoir package and available as an add on to any other package.  Leaving your clothes on has never been sexier!

 

Here is Isabel in her Fashion Boudoir session shooting in the Paris Metro.  Enjoy!

Camille Elise Love the different texture sets you used on some of the photographs, very unique! The shot with the moving train is by far a definite favorite :)

Cailyn Girrrrl. Really? You rock. I love the one where she’s looking through her arm as she leans on that column. You are making me more and more jealous of your trip every day!

allie bartelski Hot! Love the one with her reflection in the window.

Paris Boudoir : Isabel

Back at the beginning of April I took an incredible, photographer-inspiring, boudoir-filled, trip to Paris.  Many thanks to Marissa Boucher & Kimberlee West, of The Boudoir Divas.  You girls sure know how to organize the ultimate boudoir photographer’s party!

First up is Isabel, she’s from the states but currently living in Paris.  We spent the afternoon in a hip Parisian flat using the fabulous decor as our backdrop.  I had a seriously difficult time narrowing down photos to share on the blog, and this is still about twice as many as I usually post!

Susanne Sheila! these look FANTASTIC!!

Techatticup : est. 1861

Techatticup?  Thankfully I’m able to type this post, because I’m afraid you may stop following my blog if you had to listen to me struggling to pronounce that word.  I may not be able to say Techatticup with ease but I had no difficulty shooting it!  Of course, having the georgous Jessie as the main subject was not so shabby either.

This gem of a location is nesstled right on the edge of Nelson, Nevada, a tiny unsuspecting town about an hour from Vegas and about two minutes before the border of nowhere.  It really was a photographers heaven, I could have spent a week shooting the great old treasures scattered about, it gave a whole new meaning to desert oasis!

This shoot had a bit of everything- fashion, boudoir… and would make an awesome (and one of kind) spot for senior portraits.

Susanne BEAUTIFUL job Sheila!!!

The blog post about not blogging.

Oh dear, I won’t say how long it’s been, although you can scroll down and see the sad truth for yourself, but it has been a dismally long time since my last post.  So where did I disappear to?  I’ve taken some time off, and as nice as a little rest is I can’t explain how much I missed shooting!  So, it’s time to get back to what I love- pictures, blogs, and photo shoots!

You may notice you’re looking at my BRAND NEW BLOG (if not, you should work on your observation skills)!  Things aren’t perfect quite yet, but I can be pretty picky so I’m sure it will be awhile before they are.  I had so many great new ideas, branding, and website plans that got put on hold that I decided this new blog could be just the thing I need to get things started again.

With all things undergoing construction there are bound to be some kinks.  One of the major ones is the unsuccessful integration of my old blog posts on the new blog.  Well, the posts are technically here, but the images are not.  So until that is all worked out you can always see all the old entries at the old blogspot. (You can find the link above in the menu)

Please note the new URL – http://sheilahannus.com/blog !!  And don’t forget to subscribe!

 

In the coming days I have lots of amazing images to share!  One more post from Nevada and then tons of great images from Paris, I really can’t wait to share those!

Here is Valen one more time, when we were done with her boudoir session she had about 15 minutes before she had to leave, so naturally we had an impromptu outdoor shoot…
