Celebrating Self-Love
Celebrating personal growth, transition, milestones, and self-love. Watching and listening to her as she walked towards her portraits on the reveal wall my heart raced, my eyes, teared, and I got goose bumps all at the same time. Her reaction I was not expecting. She stood back with her hands cupping her face as she squealed with excitement and scrolled through the images. In those moments I was reminded again just how important my job is. I went to sleep that night knowing I made a woman feel beautiful about herself and showed her what others see. Megan, I am so humbled an honored you shared this part of your life with me.She took home all thirty images and I cannot wait to see how she displays them on the walls of her home.https://youtu.be/ZYVdyvJL11E

Discover Your Own Beauty
https://youtu.be/cn1Gyon91pIWherever you are in your life, whatever journey you are on or whatever your fears are you need to discover your own beauty. We all want to exist and be seen, be heard, be noticed, whether it is to strangers, family or friends. We let fear keep us from being who we are meant to be, it suffocates and keeps us from growing. Fear can drive you and set you free if you choose to let it.What is your legacy/heirloom that you want to leave to your loved ones? Do this for the generation behind you.Amy is a mother of two little ones and in her 30s. She asked me to photograph her as a gift to her husband and to have portraits for her children when they reach the age she is here. We worked together designing her photoshoot. She flipped the pages of Voulez Vous Boudoir's Portrait magazine, reviewed our website and social media and we came up with a plan of action for her photoshoot designing especially for her.The black gown she is wearing is vintage from the 1940s purchased for the studio a few years back. The images in the black hat were designed specially for her using lace and velvet hand picked by Lana Thomas. The hat we just added a fascinator to it for an added element. The flower picture is a headdress made specially for Voulez Vous Boudoir.I look forward to designing your custom portrait experience so you can discover your own beauty.

Beauty In A Woman
In the first moments of meeting Jeanie I noticed how beautiful she was...her long and flowing hair was draping down her shoulders. Then the corners of her mouth moved upwards as she smiled, but was a bit shy. As we began to talk I noticed her voice was soft and peaceful. We began to style and design her portraits and as I listened and looked into her eyes, they were sparkling. She smiled more and I could see the excitement. Jeanie, as you move forward in your journey I wish for you to always remember that sparkle you have and how others around you see it.The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. "Audrey Hepburn"

Power in the Portrait
When you decide it's time to exist in photos you have realized how powerful a portrait really is and how important it is to your family and friends. But, most of all I hope for you to FEEL and SEE the beauty of your own self; and LOVE who you are. Be proud of who you are and let your light shine through your soul and eyes. There IS Power in the Portrait when you feel and believe you are beautiful.Le Anne in her 50's has never had her portrait made. The images shown are a few of her personal favorites. When she came for her reveal I noticed she was resisting looking at her portraits. As I walked her to the reveal wall I said to her, "this is you." Her eyes filled with tears as she took in one portrait at a time with not a word until she had looked at them all. Then my eyes filled with tears and in my own moment I thought about how important my job is, how honored and grateful I am to give such a gift. A gift that will change the way you see yourself and how you feel about yourself. Don't wait, exist in photos and I'm not talking about the ones with your phone. A portrait, a powerful one, the one that you can see in your eyes that you really believe you are beautiful and YOU believe it and others see it.

Senior Portraits
Bailey had a vision for her senior portraits when she arrived at my studio. She wanted to be classic with a vision of "Twiggy" (an english model, actress & singer from the 60s know for her short hair, long lashes and thin build). As I looked through her wardrobe for her senior portraits we decided which outfit would be shot on each back drop and got started. She wanted her senior portraits to have a twist of fashion, fine art, fun and classic. Shooting in the studio, outside the studio, and studio rooftop gave us the variety we wanted.Taking time to get to know Bailey and her on a personal level during their consultation, the photoshoot, order session, and delivery of their senior portraits gave me so much gratitude and happiness. Bailey's plans for her future are in the arts and are so inspiring and I hope to one day photograph her again.

Bridal Boudoir ... A Gift for You Both
Bridal Boudoir has been growing in popularity for several years now. Oklahoma was just rated the highest state for goggling boudoir photography as a gift. Giving your fiancé intimate portraits of you before you tie the knot is a perfect gift for the both of you. Your boudoir shoot can be as much or as little clothing as you like. The style at Voulez Vous is classy, sophisticated, and elegant and we will create and style together the vision you have for yourself. Every woman I photograph feels some sort of vulnerability, but I will guide you through the poses and make sure you are feeling and looking your very best before I snap that shutter button.This first image I was metering the light and I could see Chelsea was totally relaxed and being herself. This is when your beauty will shine through your eyes and others will see it. This is the magic that I am looking for when I shoot.

Love is Everything
"Life is ever so brief and fragile...yet this should not foster fear but freedom. Freedom to love desperately, fully willing to be broken by it. Freedom to forgive with all your might, in spite of every justification, freedom to be alive in this moment. For at the end, my friend, love is all you leave with. And therefore, it is everything." by: Cathey Byerley. I am 50. Love Is Everything.Cathey is a gardener and we wanted to do something fun to tell her story. She spends hours in her backyard creating a beautiful haven for her family. I imagined her there working away digging, planting, standing back and thinking of what's next. I imagined flowers bursting from her mind out the top of her head...yes, I did envision this. And, because she's "50" she said let's go for it! The purple flowers I picked fresh from my yard the day of.When I look at Cathey's portraits I see beauty, confidence, and wisdom that comes from growing her own inner seed of love.
