Personal Branding for The Art of Beauty Boutique

I’m super excited to kick off 2022 with more Personal Branding photoshoots!

For this session I got to work with the wonderful Katie and her team at The Art of Beauty Boutique. Incredible team of lash artists, skin experts, aesthetic injector, and so much more!

When Katie and myself were discussing what she wanted for her own images from the photoshoot, she wanted classic, modern, and definitely sophisticated.

The session day started with makeup and hair by the head studio artist, Noelle. Something that is very important in all sessions are the conversations with hair and makeup. Even with the full glam style we do for the clients, we want them to walk away feeling like themselves. This is super important for Personal Branding sessions because this is YOU and your business and should reflect that!

The same goes for wardrobe discussions and I help with that and styling along the way. Even when the team arrived we made sure their looks were cohesive together for the look of the brand.


Here are a few favorite images from The Art of Beauty Boutique Branding Photoshoot below!

New Year, New Personal Branding

Hello everyone!

With a new year on the horizon and so many amazing things coming up for Noelle, we decided to do some updated Personal Branding images for her business.


During our consultation, I asked her what 3 words would she use to describe how she wants to feel and come off in her images.


Badass

Boss

Powerful


I would definitely say we accomplished that! I’m so excited to help other businesses with their Personal Branding and watch their business grow and thrive!

Here are a few favorites and behind the scenes from Noelle’s Personal Branding photoshoot.


Here’s to an amazing 2022!!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!

We did it! We made it through the most wild year…2020 ( I don’t even want to type that year any more).

I haven’t shared any client work in a while, so today I’m going to brag about Rachel!

Rachel came in for her session to gift her significant other with a portrait and boudoir session. When she left, I could definitely tell that the session was just as much for her. One of my favorite things to hear a client say is how much their photoshoot experience meant to them.

I picked out some favorites from her session. We did a lot of black & white images ( if you follow my work then you know I am OBSESSED with a b&w session).

I say time and time again that I have the best job in the world. I get to meet so many amazing clients, capture their beauty and really show them how stunning they truly are.

Cheers!

Wardrobe Favorites - The Long Gown

Hello to Everyone,

I’ve been keeping busy with photoshoots and tons of exciting projects coming up that I can’t wait to share!

As I was going through images today, I noticed a common theme in the wardrobe on some recent shoots : the Long Gown has been a favorite. The top is little sequins beads and the bottom is long and whimsical. The funny thing is that I’ve had this gown in my client closet for years but I never did photoshoots with it a ton. I’ve been switching it up too by either photographing the gown as is or switching up the top to make it new.

It was important for me to think outside the box instead of just buying new wardrobe in the client closet. That way I can still keep what I love for clients but have a new spin!

Cheers!

Shannon

We moved!

Hello lovely humans!

fashion_portrait_boudoir.jpg

Phew, a lot has been happening the past few months. I guess we can all mark off on our life checklist about living through a pandemic. During the quarantine and lockdown, I’ve been keeping busy with my head down and working on next steps for the business. Also, I moved! I’m still located in St. Louis but in a new space and LOVING it!

This year is the year of change, right? I didn’t really plan to move during a pandemic but it worked out that way. I slowly started to book limited sessions starting in June for all the parts of my business (portraits, fashion, and boudoir). I have to say all of these sessions are a breath of fresh air. I’ve been loving the new space!

I can’t wait to have more of you in front of my camera soon!

Cheers!

Behind the Scenes!

Hello Everyone!

IMG_9954-2small.jpg

This is one of my favorite things to share and its been too long since I’ve shared… behind the scenes! I get to share the final product but often don’t get to share the process of the day.

When I shoot in a studio in St. Louis, I actually shoot out of my home! We have alot of fun during our shoots! Makeup, wardrobe, and resident studio cat make the photoshoot days glamorous and fun!

(Unfortunately, for this shoot I didn’t take any images of the studio cat. I’ll be sure to include her next time.)

Here are a few favorites from our video shoot this year!

Scroll for more :)

Cheers!
