When?

April 24th & 25th, 2010


Where? 


 Location will be announced upon booking


Who?

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


XOXO

Well I just couldn't wait to post the images from yesterday that I was up for a good part of the night creating a slideshow!  Before I post it I am going to fill you in on just what the title of this blog post means!

Everyone that knows me knows I am a Nikon Girl.  I've shot with Nikon for the last few years and have had a lot of great success with it.  I mean, its gotten me where I am today, so how can I not give it some of the credit.  Lately though I've been noticing a change in my thinking.  I've always been attracted to a certain few photographers - and the more that I stalk, umm I mean read, their blogs I've noticed they've all got a certain style of photos that really attracts me to their work.  Funny to find out that they all shoot Canon.  Figures.  So instead of doing the "Leslie" thing to do and go out and buy a new camera and lens without even testing it out - it was suggested that I rent a body and a few lenses and check out if a Canon was really for me.  So that's what I do - I rented a Canon Mark 2 and an 50 1.2 and a 85 1.2.  I couldn't wait for it to arrive and it did Thursday night.   I'll admit at first it was really intimidating - the dials and controls are really different - but the smaller body felt really good in my hands.  It didn't take long for me to figure out where the main buttons were to get me going.  

The first thing I did was check out the video features.  I am by no means a videographer - nor do I want to be - but I love the spark that clips of video can bring to a slideshow - and boy is this video amazing!  Its so true to life its scary - must be the HD - but still I instantly chalked a mark on the board for the Canon.  I've still got a looong way to go before I can say I'm at least decent at video - but its definitely going to be a fun venture.

The next thing to do was to check out the main purpose of the camera and that was shooting stills.  I was a little wary about it - because I've been told that although Canon is a great hybrid camera - Nikon was still miles ahead in the stills department.  They've got amazing low light - and great autofocusing something that the Mark 2 is still lacking.  However I wanted to be unbiased - and since i normally shoot in natural light I figured I'd get out and shoot.  I found a great couple and we went to work.  The first thing I noticed is that even after the first image - I really liked what I seen at the back of the camera.  THIS was the look I was going for.  It might not be for everyone - but I am more convinced with every frame that I might be falling in love for the second time.  *fingers crossed* that a new Mark 3 comes out this fall - but in the mean time I'm going to keep shooting to see if I am going to make the plunge to The Dark Side .... or The Light Side - I'm not sure which one Canon is referred to!

So all my babbling out of the way - Here is the slideshow from Jasmine and Brad's session yesterday!  They were great to work with - and I'm happy to say Jasmine is my husband's cousin and such a sweetheart!  I hope everyone enjoys it and I would love to hear your feedback below on how you think my first venture out with a Canon turned out.


XOXO

Wow!   It has been a while since I blogged something!  After posting my last two sessions before the New Year,  I wanted to take some time to let all my loyal blog followers know a little bit of what is going on in my life lately.  It has been B-U-S-Y but I am not complaining - I have a lot of things to be thankful for this holiday season. 


First and foremost is my family.  Its been a really busy year for us - my brother married his amazing wife Jenn, my dad retired after over 25 years to his home in Newfoundland, and I spent an amazing month exploring Europe with my husband Troy.  


Second on the list, was having the opportunity to capture images of so many amazing clients!   Photography is my biggest passion - and without all these people having so much trust in me it would not be possible for me to have come so far in such a short amount of time.  Although I am cutting back on some of my sessions in the New Year,  I am super excited for what 2010 is going to bring.  I may be taking a month off in January -  but February is going to be full speed ahead.  With a Boudoir Marathon planned (check back for details!), several engagement sessions booked, and prepping for some tradeshows and conferences, I cannot wait to get started.  


Third on the list (still to do with my photography), was meeting so many amazing photographers.  I may not have had the chance to meet a lot of them in person, but the internet has been my best friend over the last year.  I was able to network with so many people that inspire me so much.  I cannot wait to get a chance to meet them in person in the next few years.  First on the list is a workshop with the legendary Jerry Ghionis from Australia.  I have been looking forward to attending one of his workshops since being introduced to his work a few years ago.  I know this will totally rock my photography and I cannot wait to share it with all of my upcoming brides.



Before I go, I wanted to let everyone know that I have got my first ad out in Wedding Bells Magazine!  It was totally a last minute decision but I am super excited about it!  One of my personal goals for 2010 to is to submit a full wedding feature for the Spring/Summer 2011 edition of Wedding Bells.  Also be sure to check out Hot Pink Brides and Wedding Obsession, two amazing blogs that I  have been featured on lately!



I am also quickly booking up on the wedding front, which I am super excited about.  Currently all of my weddings are out of town and I would love the chance to shoot some weddings right here in Fort McMurray!  Which brings me to my latest promotion.

September 30, 2009
There isn't much else I can say about Saturday's Boudoir session other than it was the best day we've had in a really long time!  We had a great group of girls get together for a day of pampering and photos.  From having Danielle Dupuis come up from Edmonton to do some very sexy hair to Lauren Cavalerio finishing off the girls with some kick ass makeup.  One thing about boudoir photos is even the smallest detail is sexy.  I hope you enjoy the next few images - there are definitely going to be more to come - but hopefully this will show all of you what you missed - and might help those of you hanging on the edge of deciding on a session see how great the images can be!

XOXO

I want to start this post by first thanking each and every one of my clients, blog and website followers for supporting me while I pursued one of my biggest dreams.  Over the last two years I have tried so many different genres of photography - I made it a point to try everything I could just to get the experience.  I have never made it a secret that my primary passion was for Wedding Photography - but I am a firm believer that all experience helps to push you forward.

When I first started out in photography I attended a great workshop by the amazing Jesh de Rox.  We spent three days with him in his home in Edmonton - and during one of my mentor sessions he explained something that has really stuck with me.  He would rather have 1 client out of 10 "love" his work.  I mean really love his work - than 7 clients "like" his work.  This 1 client would tell everyone about him - their family, their friends, even their co-workers and in doing this they were helping him to grow into an amazing photographer.  I know you are probably wondering where this is going - but over the last few months I have done a lot of thinking on where I would like my business to go. I have decided that it is time to start specializing in the few instead of the many.  I want to be a great photographer - and while I think things are coming together at a faster pace than I ever could have imagined - I feel that by doing a bit of everything I am short changing all of my sessions. Many of the photographers that inspire me the most focus on only a few areas of photography - Bob Davis, Jasmine Star, Carrie Sandoval, Jerry Ghionis, even my closest mentors Dave and Quin Cheung.  This has allowed each of them to become amazing at what they do - truly improving with every shot.  This is my goal - I want to put every ounce of passion I have into creating truly breathtaking images. 

As of December 1st I am going to be taking a month off to spend some time with my family.  Following that for the 2010 season I will be focusing on just a few types of sessions.  While a limited number of family and newborn sessions will be taken for 2010 - priority will be given to weddings, engagements, trash-the-dress, and boudoir sessions.  I already have a few weddings scheduled for next year - so please contact me if you are interested in chatting about your wedding photography needs. 

This decision was not easy to make as a lot of my favourite recent sessions were with families and newborns and they definitely are not gone for good.  Please stay tuned for all the great things that are happening for Leslie Brown Photography in the new year.  I've got alot of new ideas I want to get started on - and there are a few seminars that I can't wait to attend.  

I want to again thank each and every client I have had for helping me get to where I am today.  Without you I wouldn't be here - and for that I am so thankful!  I would love to hear any comments and feedback as I start this new chapter in my life - and I hope that everyone supports me while I chase my dreams!

And because all posts are better with two images - here is one I took while vacationing this summer in Europe!  It was in Santorini, Greece one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

The second one is from my brother's wedding.  This had to be one of the most beautiful wedding's I've been too - and Jenn was such an amazingly beautiful bride!  I've had a lot of feedback on this image that it looks like something out of the Twillight Series - and that just gets me more excited for New Moon to come out!

XOXO

I've had quite a few girls email me on the prospect of doing another Boudoir Day - and I'm excited to announce I've finally been able to have one!  Clear you schedules ladies - Boudoir is back in Fort McMurray! 

 

When?  


September 26th


Where? 


 Location will be announced upon booking


Who?  


I have 5 spots available 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.

For those that are still on the fence here's my take on Boudoir Photography:


Boudoir by definition it is a woman's dressing room, bedroom or private sitting room 

 

I define it as a moment that captures the very essence of you - beautiful, sexy & strong.  An image that reminds you, that the woman you are right now is absolutely gorgeous.

 

As a woman, it is hard to constantly love and accept yourself.  Most days it is so much easier to throw on a sweater and your hair in a ponytail.  Celebrate you; give yourself a chance to prove that you are not only beautiful, but also glamorous!

 

We are celebrating the woman you are!  Relax.  If you are a little bit nervous, that's okay!  Before long, you will forget what you're wearing and be enjoying yourself.  Don't worry; it is an all woman team and we work to provide you with the most comfortable environment possible.


So for now that's it - I'm taking bookings starting now - don't wait secure your session today!  Girls: This is a great gift for yourself or your significant other.  Boys: Pamper your girl with a session she won't forget!  Contact me at leslie@lesliebrownphotography.ca to reserve your spot!



XOXO
