'GQ' VS Dudeoir (male boudoir)

in

I absolutely LOVE when I get to do a model/glam photography shoot with people. Whether it be for a senior, model or boudoir type of shoot. It's a great way to give people a gift that allows them to see how beautiful they are.

Since 'beautiful' isn't a stereotypical compliment towards the male gender-is 'handsome' out of date or is 'sexy' better/appropriate? Either ways, I believe that guys like to feel attractive also. I've said that I don't give the option of dudeoir to people, but I photograph 'GQ' (In refers to the magazine. They haven't paid me for the advertisement nor have I paid for the right to use them as a reference. Please do not sue me.) male model (any fitness level) style shoots.

So...what does this mean?

For the guys, I will NOT shoot any nudity. Females-I have the same body parts, and worked at Victoria's Secret for a few years in college-so I'm completely fine with nudity. I don't shoot any 'pornographic' type of boudoir, of either sex. It's not comfort level, and doesn't fit my photography style.

Some male boudoir specialty photographers tend to tread that line sometimes. Since I have a certain level of comfort, I say 'GQ' male model style of session. This means: a guy can be down to his underwear without getting too 'happy.' Guys don't have to be in 'male model' shape to book the type of shoot. Guys just have to be okay with seeing the end result being how attractive they are.

If you want to book a boudoir or 'GQ' styled photoshoot, feel free to contact me. I do require with you in person before the scheduled shoot of this type. The gallery shows some photographs from past male 'model' or 'business' type of shoots.

Have a wonderful day! -Desiree

 

Do you have a cute/handsome pet?

We all love our pets. Most of us probably have blurry photographs of our selfies with our pets. Then, if they're cute selfies...they're probably not great quality enough to print them at a professional lab. Believe me, our very first photograph with our dog as a puppy is much too blurry to print, and was taken with my cell phone. EEkk. 

I've come up with a solution: Pet Mini Photo Days!

On Oct. 21st and 22nd I'm giving you an opportunity to get your 'selfie' with your pet or just of your pet, photographed by me at a HUGE discounted rate. Prints can be easily ordered. Your furry friend/family member must be up-to-date on their vaccinations, not be allergic to other pets, and be somewhat trained.

*Friday, October 21st day sessions will begin at 4:30 pm. Saturday, October 22nd will be most of the day. PLEASE RSVP and book a session in advanced. I will not give these kind of discounts on any other days of the year. Photoshoots will happen at my home studio, and/or a near by park in West Fargo, ND. 

Busy August

Due to technical issues, my blogs I wrote were not blogged or logged to be seen online. I had three formal photography sessions, and one informal. Blogs were typed, but not saved due to myself not using a compatible internet server to my website host site.

Here are just a few photographs I meant to be seen in more than one blog. One newborn, family of three cute kids, and a family of three. Enjoy!

By the way, internet server issue was solved, and there will be more blogs in the future.

Newborn Props

 

After much request, I have been working on building up more props over the years. Here are a few of the newborn props I have. Along with many, many blankets. I may look like a blanket horder. LOL. 

Welcome!

My official FIRST website blog!

Hello, and welcome to my website. The last bits of this site are finally coming together. As time goes on, you'll see more options to choose from, and photographs to view. 

Many of you may ask: 'So...you've been in wedding photography and portrait photography for years. Why has it taken THIS long to have an official website?' Answer: I'm very picky when it comes to design and what I want from a site. Along with my worry of: 'Do I have ENOUGH of this or that type of photographs to fill this or that gallery?'

After much research, and much more deliberation over design, I found SquareSpace for a website host. I loved most of their designs, and options. 

Now, you can check out some of my photographs here, and on social media. I hope that you enjoy this site. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. 

Thanks! -Desiree
