clients for a free twenty-four- to thirty-pose session one to two months be-
fore the wedding.
When the client comes over for a pre-bridal session, I photograph her
with her veil, create some corset and garter shots, and whatever she’d like
to present to him the day of the wedding. This gives me a chance to bond
with my bride prior to her wedding day. During the session and the sales
process that follows, I’m building her trust and confidence in my work.
One of my brides presented her new husband with a For Your Eyes Only
album at their wedding reception. I’ll never forget when she grabbed him
from the dance floor and asked me to follow them to the lobby. She pre-
sented the book when no one was around except for my camera and I, the
bride, and the groom. When he opened it, the look on his face was one of
complete surprise. Tears welled up in his eyes, and they hugged each other
in a very tender, loving manner. I usually don’t get to see the moment
when a woman presents her images to her significant other. It was a beau-
tiful moment, and one that makes my job worthwhile.
These are priceless moments in your career that you never forget!
Pregnancy Boudoir Sessions.
You’ve spent a great deal of time developing a relationship with your bride.
I always mention pregnancy boudoir photography to my brides, and they
usually come back for another session when the time comes. The preg-
Fabric and draping help soften preg-
nancy boudoir portraits.
