Photographing Jane Love

I had the pleasure of photographing tattooed alternative model Jane Love in the studio last week.

She is an alternative/conceptual model who always has the most colorful and vibrant hair to match her explosive personality.

Alex Jankowski of Arrogant Beauty came in and rocked out Jane's hair and makeup..... absolutely loved what Alex did with Jane's hair!

I chose a moodier lighting until Jane started to smile, that image was meant to be brighter ;)

Also since Jane stands out I wanted to keep the background simple and we shot on a black background and made her the main focus. 

Here are my favorite images from our shoot.

Moms are bringing sexy back!

I first met Jill on a Living Social deal I had for family photography Holiday portraits for my Lori K Sapio photography studio.  She came in with her adorable son and husband, and I forged an instant bond with her.

After discussing it for awhile, I had her come in for her first Boudoir shoot when her son had just turned a year old.  She was a bit apprehensive about showing some of her body parts.  While we had her in hair and makeup, I eased her worries and came up with our game plan.

Jill is also a bridal gown designer (her work is amazing), so of course she would come with a lot of options.... more options are better than none.

We went through her wardrobe and decided that we would shoot a couple of different gowns/dresses, a vintage slip and a bra/panty set.  You can be sexy without showing it all.

Jill killed it and I feel her nerves were at ease once we finished the shoot.......

I just wrapped another boudoir shoot in the studio with a Mom I met for her family's Holiday portraits this past December...... I love that these Moms are bringing sexy back!

Was fortunate enough to photograph my muse Amber again at our studio in Logan Square.... LOVE photographing her.

Our talented hair and makeup artist Emily beautified Amber for the shoot.

Photographing a family member....

I have always wanted to photograph a family member, yet get turned down all the time by my 4 sisters.  My cousin Amanda (14 years my junior) was in town, I showed her the studio and suggested I take pics of her.  She jumped at the chance and we set up the shoot.

Emily came to do her hair and makeup (did another amazing job) and I brought this little black dress of mine for her to wear.  Since Amanda was traveling, she didn't have heels with her.  We made it work.

Looking at her through the lens I kept seeing me, my youngest sister, my Dad and my uncle.  It was an experience to view your own mannerisms and looks through a member of your family.  I loved photographing Amanda and think she did wonderful!  Hopefully now my sisters will let me get them in front of the camera.... hint..... hint!
