Basically this blog is about me and my everyday adventures at home and with my business. Being a mother of 3 children, a wife, and a business owner can be super challenging. Lets see how we make this work.

Practice Make-up Session!
Well, the night turned out to be so much fun! Miriam worked her magic on me, Meagan and Brittni. Poor Miriam had to make do with poor lighting at my house, but I must say...the lighting was not a big deal! The make-up turned out FABULOUS! I wish we would have done this on the weekend though because after I got my make-up done, I was ready to go out! LOL! She had a little of variety to work with. Meagan has the blue eyes, Brittni has the green eyes and I have the brown eyes. She gave Meagan a very nice mixture of colors, which looked totally AMAZING! She gave Brittni a softer look, which looked BEAUTIFUL! I asked for the smoky eye because I love the way other girls look when they do this kind of look. I've tried it a few times myself, but it never came out any where close to what Miriam did. I LOVED IT! WOOHOO!! GO MIRIAM! Can't wait to see you do your thing in July! You Go Girl! Ok, time for hair! Hair will be done by my very talented little sister Jasmine. Believe me, she might be young...but she knows what she's doing. Pictures of her work soon!

Boudoir Update "Makeup Artist"
The boudoir session is still going on. It will take place in Houston on July 25th. I was originally aiming for 6 girls but I now have 8! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. This will be my first time shooting a big group of girls on one day. I know that everything will come together just fine, I'm confident in my work =) I have a certain look that I'm aiming for and the makeup will be done by my best friend Miriam. The funny thing is that she and I have been doing what we love to do for 12 years now! We both started at the same time and at the same place. We were just teenagers starting our fist jobs. Well, who would have thought that we were going to love our jobs so much that we made it our careers. She is very passionate about her work and any one who takes one look at her couldn't deny that she is AWESOME! Can't wait for our little practice makeup session tonight. She will be practicing on a few girls, mainly my sisters and friends. Hopefully I'll be able to display the photos tomorrow! Stay tuned...;-)

Super Excited!
One of my favorite things to do is read. I am HUGE fan of the Twilight Saga and can't wait to see the up coming movie Eclipse!
Before I read Twilight, the Harry Potter series was my main interest. I read all the books about 3 times each! This summer my family and I will be celebrating my son's birthday in Orlando, Florida. Can't wait because...WE'RE GOING TO ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE...WOOOHOOO!!!! Home of the new added theme---- HARRY POTTER!! I know, it's totally crazy BUT I absolutely love it! This has nothing to do with photography ( I KNOW ) BUT really... There has to be some recreation along the way. I am a total nut when it comes to my books. So..I guess I remain a kid at heart. This can be a real reward sometimes when my children are following my footsteps and want to read what I read. On the down side, I don't know what my husband thinks about it. He probably thinks I've lost my mind =) I love him, bless his heart. He puts up with my craziness all the time.

BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY
This is just a little peek of the boudoir photos. I have done a few of these but unfortunately can't post them! I am trying to build up my portfolio and now, I'm looking for a few ladies who are willing to work with me. I will be putting these photos on my web site and on my blog. For this reason, I'm looking to find ladies that are not shy and who's husbands and or boyfriends are okay with their wives being my model. Boudoir photography is basically bedroom poses. No...there doesn't have to be any nudity involved AT ALL. It's really to show that EVERY girl is sexy no matter the size, color or whatever. The girls only have to pay $50 and they will receive a free 8x10 and I will shoot until I'm happy with all the poses. As far as "what to wear" I suggest for the girls to bring lingerie that they feel comfortable wearing. Even a cute cami and some boy shorts would be nice. If they are doing these for their husbands or boyfriends I suggest to bring something that reminds them of him. For example: a button down shirt, a jersey of their favorite team, a tie, a brief case, a guitar, boots, a utility belt...whatever they think would be sexy in the photo...BRING IT! For this shoot I will be renting a hotel room at a very nice 5 star hotel in Houston. Since at the time I don't have a studio of my own to be able to bring the girls to I figured that we could all meet at the hotel and do our shoots there. I have a few friends that will be working with me doing hair and makeup. The ladies will receive a free 8x10 of their shoot and will be able to purchase additional sheets at $10 a sheet 8x10's and under. $50 for the proof books and $150 for a photo album. This is a ONE TIME OFFER! Extra purchases are optional....you are not obligated to purchase anything whatsoever. I'm still new to this blog system but if you are interested leave me a message or email me at beautiflyphotography@yahoo.com. I'm also available on facebook!

Right now I'm looking for props that could be used in my photographs. Specially with children and new borns. I like to keep it simple and not distract from the little ones too much...I made a few of my own little props like the flower hats. I just need to find other flowers! What to do with little boys??? Any suggestions?
