Traveling through Detroit, I love the condemned buildings. I want to use some of them as a setting for some editorial photography, or some sort of unique photo concept! One day soon I hope…
It’s spring!

Here is a MOCKUP of the layout I wanted to do for ragehour.com, but upon collaborating with FRITZ4PRESS, the decision came down to a more basic and grungy layout… check it out on http://ragehour.com and let me know what you think of the OFFICIAL rage page!
If anyone is interested in this website layout you see here, let me know! It’s up for grabs, all it needs is YOUR content!

Boudoir, lingerie, semi-nude, and nude photo sessions
Be Prepared.
Practice posing your body & your facial expressions in front of a mirror.
Take photos of yourself to see what angles work best in front of a camera.
Outfits that are comfortable but still sexy and true to yourself are the best kind.
Simplicity.
Don’t stress out about how you’ll look the day of your session, the most natural looks are the best.
Laid Back.
My sessions are laid back, I like to play music and just make it fun and sexy at the same time. Boudoir sessions aren’t always about posing, but capturing the best angles and assets are what I aim for so trying different things with your body even if it feels awkward might look amazing and I will be sure to let you know as we go along! Always know that you can take a break at any time or ask me questions, anything that will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed just ask about or talk to me about it.
Modesty.
You don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy. Clothed, partially clothed, hinted nudity and fully nude can all be sexy. Let me(the photographer) know what you’re comfortable showing in your photos and trust them to keep the parts you want hidden to stay that way.
Tips for the morning of your session.
Drink lots of water and wear loose fitting clothing. Avoid tight fitting undergarments as they are the most likely to leave elastic pressure lines on your skin.
What to bring.
Brings LOTS of outfits just in case. Remember to bring accessories, shoes, stockings, and props too! Bring more than you think you will need. It’s always better to have too many things with you than to be thinking, “I wish I’d brought that!” You don’t have to go out and buy special outfits, you can bring what you already own and make it work.
Privacy.
Privacy is a concern due to the intimate nature of boudoir sessions. All boudoir images are kept in strict confidence and no images will be shown without permission from the client in writing.

He looks sweet and all…
Mojo rompin’ around in the backyard, he’s like a horse! Sometimes I peek out the window to see what he’s doing when no one’s around, and he’s running full circles like a horse in a corral!
