I just got this in my email from the model that I worked with on the reality show…..
Hey Heather!
I had so much fun with you and your team, youre truly my favorite photographer by far. I hope to work with you again, you run an amazing business, and I wish you success (hopefully, being on the show will help you lots). If anyone ever needs a photographer you are my first reccomendation.
THANKS MUCH!!!
Amber =)
About a month ago I was contacted by an aspiring model who was looking for a female photographer to work with as part of a segment she was doing for the reality show she is on. This sounded to good to be true! But after doing some research and talking with the production company, I found out it was something I really wanted Shadow Boudoir to be a part of.
Sunday evening, the whole Shadowcatcher/ Shadow Boudoir team met at the studio to be a part of the filming. Skip who usually stays away from the ladies only sessions helped us out with lighting and sets, we had Elizabeth on hair and makeup, and Janelle and Veronica helped with our model Amber and Veronica got some fun behind the scenes shots.
At this time we are under contract to keep info about the show on the hush hush… but once we get the go ahead will let you in on all the fun details.
We had a really fun time… and are all feeling really grateful for this amazing opportunity, and for the fact that our jobs keep us on the other side of the camera… it felt sooo uncomfortable on the other side… yikies! Now we are all looking forward to the premiere! I feel a shopping trip road coming!
Here are some shots from the evening……
Elizabeth doing hair and makeup for our model Amber
While Amber had hair and makeup done I went over posing and costume ideas with her…
On set.. at first it was pretty hard to not think about the cameras on me, but after the first few shots I think we all fell into our familiar work groove.
This for sure was the hardest part… at the end I had to talk alone on camera about how I thought Amber did as a model and then about our photography business… honestly, I still have no idea what I said and just pray that the words that came out made sence ….. I was scared to death!
Everything seemed to go really well.. and in the end, I think I got some great shots for Amber… and after all was said and done, that was what mattered.. and she had a great time and experience… she said it was the best shoot she ever did!
Here are a few of my faves….
A super BIG shout out to my fabulous assistants, I could have never done it withoug you ladies… you ROCK!
We have narrowed the selection of our finalists in the Military Pin-up session give away to the following two deserving ladies. Elizabeth and Christina.
We would have such a hard time choosing between these two! So…. we are leaving that choice up to our blog viewers! Please read over their entries below and cast your vote for your choice.
The winner will receive a mini pinup session with a poster sized print to surprise her overseas honey with!
Here are their stories….
#1. Christina-
Hello there! My Name is Christina and Trisha told me about your military contest. So I decided to send you my story. My husband, Joe , is in the Army and has been deployed overseas for the past year. This is his second deployment, and my first as an Army wife. On his first deployment he was injured in a raid and had to be medevaced out to Texas so he could recooperate. The Army Honerably discharged him due to his injuries but he felt that his duty was not done. He went through physical therapy to regain full use of his ankle so he could re-enlist. Once he re-enlisted he was set to deploy. We had to rush our wedding and have been apart the past year. It has been a lot of short phone calls telling me he is alright and lots more care packages sent to him so he knows that I am still waiting here back at home. I am so proud of my husband and what he has done for our country, but it has been hard being away from eachother. He will, thankfully, be on his way home ! in November and will be here for the Holidays. I thought this would be the perfect welcome home gift for him, seeing as he loves 1950\’s pinups. I thank you for taking the time to read my story and for having a contest that recognizes military wives! Sincerly, Christina
#2. Elizabeth
I know there are probably a lot of women that are writing in to win this photo shoot, and there are probably a lot women that deserve this just as much, if not more than I do. My boyfriend and I are both Marines and are currently on opposite deployment cycles. As of right now, between the two of us we will be doing three deployments in a row with only a few months in between to see each other. I have already completed the first deployment and eight days is all I have left before I say goodbye, for seven months, to the love of my life. I just returned home less than three months ago.
From May 2008 until January 2009 I traveled the three hour trip from Yuma, AZ to Oceanside to spend as much time as possible prior to my deployment. Weeks before I was set to ship out, we got the news that he would be going to Afghanistan in October, mere months after my return to the US. Then I deployed, and in the most heart breaking moment I can remember I said goodbye to Daniel. I spent a lot of time while I was gone daydreaming about the day I would return; unfortunately all those giddy memories were accompanied by the stabbing reminder that it was only a matter of time before he would set off on his own deployment. A day that is approaching so much more rapidly than I thought possible. In June I got in touch with everyone I could and arranged orders out of Arizona and into San Diego. Finally, our relationship will no longer be long distance!! In January 2010 I will make one last trip across the mountains and finally reside in California.
San Diego Boudoir Photographer on a reality show???
October 29, 2009
Yes… that’s right… you read it here first……. whoooooya……… I am super excited about this one!
I have to admit, I have been pulled in by a few reality shows, Rock of Love, Charm School, Daisy of Love. I really never ment to get so hooked on those, but somehow, you watch one, and they just pull you in…. right?
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I got an email from an aspiring model who is on a (soon to be named) reality show, she said she absolutely LOVED the work Shadow Boudoir does and asked if I would agree to having the reality show she is on film her while she is having her boudoir session done with us.
I had a really hard time keeping my cool while dancing in my chair here… heck ya! How much fun will that be? Not to mention how many ladies viewing will be able to see exactly what it is like to have a private session done with us, and the amazing images they will come away from the session with. I am soooo thankful for this opportunity!
The session will be taking place in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for some really fun behind the scenes shots of the session!
