My Boudoir Experience with Jennifer Williams

Wow!  What an experience...I finally ticked one of the items off of my bucket list which was doing a boudoir shoot.  The photographer that I selected for this shoot was Jennifer Williams.  I had seen her work and knew that it was great and when I chatted with her I knew that I would be comfortable shedding my clothes in front of her.  She's worked with so many women and so many different body shapes and really understands how to make a woman look and feel good in front of the camera.

To start of  the day, I had my hair & makeup done by Kelly Trerise who is an amazing artist.  We all chatted and got comfortable and when it was time to start shooting, it was just Jen and myself in her studio.  We used lots of props that were in her place and I was able to change into lots of different outfits for the different looks I wanted to have.  I had prepared for the shoot by finding inspiration on her Pinterest board of various looks that appealed to me and while we were shooting she used the inspiration that I had found to create my own personal shots.

I never once felt shy or awkward during the shoot because I knew that Jen had shot so many women and this is really a passion for her.  She loves what she does and it shows!  And throughout the entire time she instructed me on how to pose...so I never felt lost or silly.

When I got my photos back I was thrilled.  There were so many fantastic shots...and I'm really very thankful for Jen for making this lifetime goal so easy to achieve.

Here are some of the women Jen has shot. And to start it off, check out this behind the scenes video:

Monday's Montage: Wedding Hairstyles

A big decision to complete your wedding day look! Whether you leave your hair down, pull it half-up, braided, add flowers or go with an updo, your hair style should reflect your personality. Be sure to try a few different options during your trial with your stylist, or why not enjoy 2 looks on your wedding day? Long flowy and romantic during your ceremony, then have your stylist on hand to pin it up with tons of volume for the reception. Best of both worlds and won't need to worry about your curls falling as you tear up that dance floor late into the night with your handsome new hubby.

 

I hope these help you find your inspiration for an unforgettable, romantic and definitely angelic wedding hairstyle. And don't worry, hairspray is ALWAYS available in DreamGroup's toolbox to keep your tresses perfect throughout the night.

Monday's Montage: Braided Hairstyles

Braids are back and hitting the bridal scene in a big way! Whether it is for the bride or bridesmaids, braids are the trendy new way to style hair for the big day.  Until recently, wearing a braided hairstyle was just for the bohemian bride. We have fashion designers to thank for the rise of wedding braids. (And Lauren Conrad, love her) Whether one in the front, swept across, or an entire halo, I believe braids always add a romantic look to any wedding hair style.

 

Find any favourites? It's a great idea to bring photos for inspiration when you are ready for a trial with your Hair Stylist. Jayna Bussiere would take amazing care of you, offering mobile hair and makeup service wherever beautification is needed.
