Day-After Beach Session

On Friday, we had our optional day-after shoot - and it was amazing! Marissa and I (Kimberlee) were having a great time shooting our model, and Marissa's hubby Weston was a HUGE help, giving tons of tips and advice to the gals who were there for the shoot. (Thanks, Weston!) It's been so much fun to look through all of our shots to see the different angles and styles we each captured (Marissa, Weston, and I). It was also really cool to see Weston's shots using an off-camera flash set-up (it gives his shots a very "Sports Illustrated/Maxim-editorial" look, in my opinion). And it was absolutely wonderful to work with Joslyn; the expressions she gave us were just perfect for the look we were going for with this shoot. Here are a few of our shots from the day:

Marissa's Shots...
Kimberlee's shots: And Weston's shots: (We love these ones where he used the flash; it gives the images a totally different "feel") Here we all are, shooting away. The 2 hours just flew by. I (Marissa) was having so much fun I just really wanted to stop time. Here is what happens to you if you volunteer to be the lighting stand in!
I got them all back though.... It was so nice having Weston at the shoot. He is an awesome photographer (he shoots weddings with me, Marissa, hubby n' wife team) and I have never shot anything like this with him before since he doesn't shoot boudoir portraits. But even still, he is a key asset to Kimee and me in that he is constantly pushing us to strive for higher quality. Since this was going to be more of an editorial type shoot we thought it would be a great to have him! He played around with syncing flashes and got such awesome shots, we decided to call him "The Boudoir DIVO" for the day. Thanks babe! His shots will be in the slideshow as well.


And thanks again, Joslyn- we loved working with you!  :)  Some of you have noticed that we've added new workshop dates to our website - including one international date next spring  - woohoo!  More details to come soon...
