Branding and providing the best for my clients

They're here! I'm so happy with my new flash drives for my Boudoir clients! When you purchase my largest package (which most of my clients are doing! :)) you receive your files on a USB for personal use along with your gorgeous 10x10 Art Album. These are so perfect! Sending one out today, delivering another at the end of the week. I'm looking forward to feedback from my ladies!

These come from Photo Flash Drive. Their variety is fantastic!

The beauty of a mother rivals the beauty of mother nature. I love photographing mothers, especially when their little one is still safely harbored within their womb. The love, joy and connection a woman feels with the child in her womb is undeniable and undeniably beautiful. It brings a glow to every woman I've known while she was pregnant. To be able to photograph a woman while she's busy creating life is a complete honor. I was able to do that recently with a gorgeous woman I have had the pleasure of knowing now for about 5 years. I've watched her grow into a gorgeous, strong woman, who will be an amazing mother to the son she's currently carrying. I look forward to meeting him in a couple of months! I was able to do this session on A's land that she and her partner recently purchased. What an amazing backdrop to help create gorgeous portraits!








Thank you A for entrusting me with such an amazing moment in your life. Much love!

Celebrating a Woman's Beauty and Power with a Gorgeous Blonde

She sent me a message asking "Should I keep my hair natural and wild or tame it?" My answer was natural and wild, of course! We get wrapped up everyday in what is ideal for everyone else, but forget to consider what is ideal for us? What makes YOU feel beautiful, what makes YOU feel powerful? The sexiness that will shine from every pore of your being comes from those two feelings. A woman empowered by her own beauty and power will empower those around her, she does not need to be told she is 'sexy' by anyone else or on anyone else's terms. My goal with every one of my sessions is to help each woman realize her beauty, her power and to leave her session with those feelings. I want every woman to know those feelings and carry them with her out into the world.

This woman? She came to me already there, already full of her own power and beauty. It was a complete pleasure working with her. I fed off her energy and she off mine. There is nothing like it in the world: two creative souls working together to create magic. Miss Fredua was a natural, wild beauty and it was my pleasure creating gorgeous images with her!

What makes you feel beautiful, powerful and sexy? A session at Ciao Bella Boudoir may be just what you need. ;)

Maleficent: Queen of beauty, power and sex appeal.

I adore Maleficent. She's my favorite fairytale queen. Seeing the movie trailers has inspired me to want to do a shoot for quite some time. I had a wonderful model in mind, Harsiese. She was in the process of taking her hair to a lovely shade of silver, so we waited until that was done. I needed a dress worthy of Maleficent, Khaos By Design had the perfect dress for me, along with gorgeous necklaces. Valerie Schaubroeck created the gorgeous hair design and Nicole Barry did Maleficent's makeup. Michael Hanlon, my partner in crime, was my lighting assistant and master of the smoke. It was amazing collaborating with such a fantastic team! I only have one teaser for you for now. The rest will come soon. Thank you to my inspired team for helping me see this vision come to life!

Celebrating Beauty...

I'm a day late on National Women's Day, but this image is one I adore. It's from a recent shoot with one of my favorite models, Marie Vaccarello. She is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. She represents a strong woman, a woman with confidence and beauty, a woman with intelligence and kindness. She represents everything a woman should be. There are more images from this session to follow, but I wanted to post one to celebrate all women. We as women need to learn to celebrate ourselves, our very essence, every day. You, yes you, are beautiful, powerful and sexy! Embrace it. Makeup for this shoot was by Ashley Luna. Copyright of all images are expressly those of Teri Fiske of Hanlon-Fiske Studios, INC.
