Scott "Dude-Oir" Photo Reveal!

Scott was also one of the two guys from the boudoir marathon a couple months back. He was so easy to photograph. He did everything I asked of him without question. He also modeled for us as a test subject.

Here are my favs from our shoot!



























Last shot!



Hope you enjoyed! Until next time...

Jeremy : "Dude-oir" Photo Reveal

As many of you might remember, I shot 2 guys during a boudoir marathon I did a couple months ago. Jeremy was one of those guys and he came out and modeled for me as a test subject. I don't know whether or not there's a market for "dude-oir" photos but I do know that it never hurts to try something new. Who would have thought there would be a market for brides trashing their wedding dresses? But there is a booming demand for it these days!

Here are some of my favorites from Jeremey's set:











Jeremy was so much fun to have on set and he did this awesome superman run amd it made him happy and woke him up for the rest of the shoot. We had a blast trying to capture it!





And just because I love doing anonymity shots when I am working with sexy pictures, I had to do something like this:

Hope you all enjoyed! Until next time...

Rebecca and Justin: Engagement Photo Sneak Peek

Rebecca and Justin are getting married September 26th. Their wedding is just around the corner. We just did their engagement photos over labor day weekend and I've been so slow to blog the sneak peek from their session. I am trying to catch up on all of my editing so I've been a bad blogger and have missed a lot of things to blog recently but I will get them all blogged just as soon as I have a chance!

Rebecca and Justin are such a cute couple and they love one another so much. They were a joy to photograph and I cannot wait for their wedding.

For their engagement session, I got us into the awesome Ritz Ybor and had them dress in 50's attire. We even hired an amazing hair and make up artist, Amanda Craft to do Rebeccas hair and make-up in a pin up 50's style. Rebecca got these ultra cute dresses for the shoot and some red shoes for some pop of color (per my request because I just LOVE color).

Here are two sneak peek photos for now!!





What an awesome couple and an awesome venue to shoot in and doesn't Rebecca look hot?? Justin looks pretty darn good too :-)

Until next time...

Best engagement photos

We just sent an 80 page, 10x10 album design off to be printed and bound. This one is a studio sample for us to show more of our work printed and we had such a great year with engagement sessions so we decided to make it an "Engagement Love" album. We featured six of our couples in the book design and put our favorite photos from each session in the collection.

Looking through them, we just love the variety and the moments captured. Seeing the best work put together in a collection just makes me feel good inside :-)

Here is a link to the smaller flip-book online version. Hope you enjoy it!

Alina's Trash the Dress : Sneak Peek

We went to this awesome car junkyard to trash Alina's wedding dress. We went through so much to get this place to allow us to shoot there but we were so happy when the day finally came. Alina was such a trooper. It was a very hot, muggy day and we had to do the shoot mid-day because that's the only time we could get in for the shoot.

I never anticipated that all of the sand would cause such a hazy mist in the air. It made it so difficult to focus properly and made the images lack the pop that my photos normally have straight out of camera. But we used some off camera lighting to help fight through the sand mist a bit and then I really jazzed them up in photoshop.

We had such a great time shooting Alina. More of her fabulous Trash the Dress photos coming soon!!

Fighting the sand in the air was difficult but luckily, I knew I'd be able to fix it in photoshop. There was nothing more I could have done on set. I just love the way they turned out though and how needing to fix the hazy air pushed me that much harder to make these images pop!

More coming soon.. hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Until next time...

Upcoming Boudoir Marathon -Oct 24th or Nov 21st

Hi Ladies,

I've done 3 boudoir marathons already this year and they just keep getting better and better. Along the way, my assistant Latanya and I have learned a tremendous amount and we just keep adding new things and raising the bar in the boudoir industry. We've been asked to branch out of our own local market and start traveling for our boudoir marathons. We're excited to implement this into our 2010 goals!

We're offering one final marathon for 2009. And we're going to do it just in time to be able to get the photos finished by or before Valentines Day. Married ladies can take advantage of this as a Valentines present or engaged ladies can hang on to the photos and reveal them on the wedding night. The possibilities are limitless and the choices are yours!

Normally, we'll take 7-10 people for our boudoir marathons but this one will be very limited to just 4 people.


Details: (and what's included)

- Limited to 4 ladies

- A full THREE hours of shooting time with us (We normally give 90-120 minutes only). The great part about this is it gives you more time to warm up and become comfortable in front of the camera and gives us a better chance to get some incredible shots.

- Myself and my assistant photographer. One of us will be shooting and the other will be controlling the lighting, ensuring you are lit beautifully and in the most flattering way.

- An online gallery for 90 days

- An 5x5 10 page photo book album (upgrades available at an extra cost)

- At least 20 fully edited, glamour retouched images for your album and also on a DVD.

- Gorgeous location for the shoot (to be determined)(Will either be in the Tampa area or in the Orlando area)


Please email me at PureEmotionsPhotography @ gmail.com with your name, telephone number, best time to reach you, and which of the above dates would work for you (please say both if both would work for you).

I will call you to discuss the details and pricing information.

First come, first serve. This is a special package only offered to 4 ladies and will be our last marathon of 2009 and the final chance to get boudoir pictures before Valentines Day.

We look forward to bringing out your inner sexy through our lens and bringing it to life.

Kori: Boudoir Reveal

Kori is getting married to a wonderful man in January of 2010 and I will be shooting their wedding. As a surprise, Kori snuck the money to me for the boudoir marathon while her fiance was signing the wedding contract! He has absolutely no idea and he is just going to be so excited when he sees these photos. I know it's going to be so hard for Kori to keep them a secret for the next 5 months!

Coming soon: Christie and Sandra's boudoir reveals (hopefully within the next 5-8 days!!)

Without further ado.. hope you enjoy..













Kori thought I was crazy when I asked her to lay on a shelf for this next photo. I wanted her to just be like an object on the shelf and thought it was very fitting with the maids outfit. When I showed her and Latanya the photo on the camera, they both loved it!



























and last, but not least!




Until next time.....
