When?

April 24th & 25th, 2010

Where? 

 Location will be announced upon booking

Who?  

I have 5 spots available on each day on a first come first serve basis.  I will be taking names on a waiting list in the event someone needs to cancel - and these people will be first to be contacted if another session comes up.

What do I bring?  

2-3 outfits of your choice, and any props that you would like photographed.  A white sheet is available.

Why?  

Why not?!  For most of us this is the prime of our lives.  It's a great time to celebrate yourself in a way that is classy and beautiful.  Don't be worried if you've got a few trouble spots - we're great at providing poses that work for everyone - and no matter what your size everyone is beautiful.  

What to Expect?  

Expect to pamper yourself with complimentary hair and make-up, as well as mimosa's, champagne, fruit and of course some kick-ass music to get your started and keep you going.  There will also be examples of previous sessions and some poses that might help you decide the feel that you are wanting for your session.  Expect to spend a few hours with us - the time that you are scheduled in will be when you are required to be there for hair and makeup and once done you'll be ready for your session!

Nervous? 

If you are concerned with being a little too exposed, speak up!  We want you to be comfortable.  We can do photographs that 'hint' at skin exposure.... open button shirts with a cute pair of boy shorts, a white sheet, or do something a little more daring - wearing your favorite lingerie, covering as little or as much as you want.  

Cost?  

The cost to reserve your spot is $1000.  This includes your 1 hour Boudoir Session, Hotel Room Rental, Hairstyling and Makeup Application, 25 images edited by a celebrity photo editor, and all of your digital negatives with printing rights!  This is a $1200 savings over buying these products separately!   Albums and other products can also be purchased at a 25% discount.  All bookings much be taken before April 18, 2010 to secure the special pricing.

How?

Email me at info@lesliebrownphotography.ca to set up your session.  Please indicate of your interested in the Saturday or the Sunday session.

*Can't make it?  

If your unavailable on the above please still email me for more information on scheduling a private session.  I'm always open to doing extra sessions if needed - and as long as its booked by May 1, 2010 I would honor the special pricing.

*Please note that hair and makeup might need to be provided by the client if booked on a different date

Most of you may not know but last week was the biggest photographer's convention, WPPI, in Vegas - and I'm kicking myself for not going.  Not only was there a ton of killer workshops like Mike Colon's Seven Workshop, and Nate and Jaclyn Kasier,'s The ShootShop Workshop, there was a HUGE trade show with tons of vendors.  I faithfully followed all of the twitter updates from all of my photographer friends hoping to get a glimpse of what's to come - and luckily they all pulled through!  I've got a ton of ideas going through my head of new products to offer, and services to try!  Stay tuned for all the juicy details!

Another thing I missed out on in Vegas was networking.  There were over 15,000, Yes 15,000!, wedding and portrait photographers attending the WPPI conference.  A ton of the people I have the upmost amount of respect for were there - and I so wanted to go to meet them.  I am marking off the dates next year already - as I really believe a conference like this can bring my work to another level.

Which brings me to the reasoning behind this post.  I'm offering a sale!  Its not something I do very often - but I've been inspired via reading all the twitter and blog posts from WPPI I wanted to give something back to all of my blog readers.  So here it goes!

Sale on all Engagement & Couple Sessions

Includes:

1 hour on-location session

Online Gallery with at least 25 fully edited images

Online Slideshow set to music

Low & High-Resolution files of all of the Gallery images

This package normally totals $1200.  If booked before March 20th for sessions scheduled in March & April I will give couples 50% off the package price.  Thats $1200 worth of product for $600!  I will only be taking a limited number of sessions (12) so please inquire as soon as possible to book your spot!

Not engaged or already married?  A good friend of mine reminded me how important it is to document your life together - and not just at the "big" moments in your life.  You'll see in some upcoming posts that alot of my clients are coming for either repeat sessions after their wedding, or even when they are in the early stages of dating!  Photo sessions are what you make of it - and trust me its going to be beautiful and a ton of fun!

Now because every post deserves a photo - here is one I took today of a couple that is just *too* cute!  They were helping me test out a camera I had rented and I think that I just may be getting myself into some trouble!
