I met Mrs. F way back when she was still Miss D. We met at school, she was taking beginning B&W photography. She was always a bit shy -fashion wise. Never too revealing always in jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt. When I received a call from her inquiring about a Femme Fatale session for her husband as a surprise for Valentine’s day, I was absolutely honored. Not only was someone who has a photography background trusting me to capture them in camera but also someone who claims to be self conscious. We met and went over ideas and a game plan to keep the secret from her husband. (I should note here that one of her best friends also signed up for a session for her husband- but more on that in a future post.)

The day of the session came and we met at the Sheraton hotel for her session. Two minutes flat into the session it seemed as she was born to be in front of the camera. She was completely at ease. The majority of the session was spent acting silly, smiling and shining like a true Femme Fatale. What do you guys think?? Doesn’t she look amazing? Her husband is one lucky guy. She’s not only a mother of two but a great wife.



I tend to ask women doing these sessions to bring something of their husbands to incorporate into the session. Here she is wearing his football jersey. How sexy is that??

There were so many more images..but those are for HIS eyes only!

There was once a time that a wedding dress was worn once and then very carefully dry cleaned and sealed away. Never to be seen again…. until the day your daughter got married. When that occasion came, you would run to pull out your dress to offer it to her. A few scenarios then happened: a.) the dress had somehow been damaged (mold, moths, etc) b.) a dress that didn’t fit said daughter or was WAY out of fashion or c.) your daughter accepted to wear the dress.

Of course you can still do that. But isn’t it more fun to rewear your dress and have some really fun pictures done a few days/months or even a years later, without the stress of the wedding day?


Joann did just that! She had this beautiful dress and no pictures in it (long story). Last Sunday we met downtown for a photo session. Here are some of my favorites. It was a little cold, but the light was amazing.

Let me know what you think in the comments section!!
