CT Boudoir Photography | Workshop

Athena Bludé — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:24:33 +0000

Once again I had the pleasure of attending another Raw Photo Design workshop packed with all sorts of boudoir goodness: models, hair, makeup, sexy lingerie and of course, Eric’s boudoir experience.

Boudoir by definition means a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. However, in the photography world boudoir is a chance to let a woman put aside her inhibitions and let herself be captured as a pinup girl or lingerie model to surprise her man with an unexpected sexy gift. I don’t know if many of you have considered a boudoir session, but maybe after seeing how the images can be tastefully done, you’ll want to put one in the books. ;)

Also, big thanks to Eric & Amber for showing me thy ways. Y’all rock!

Enjoy my favorites…

Hugs,

The model was posed in a tight setting, so I worked around another photog.

What would a RAW workshop be without some off-camera lighting?

Oh hey there, Eric. Thanks for the tunes.

Westport, Connecticut Maternity Photography | Kinga + Daniel

As some of you may know, aside from photography I work at a lovely office, full of lovely people, every lovely weekday… Can you sense my sarcasm? ;)

Anyhoo, what truly is lovely is that I get to work with Kinga and when Kinga got all preggers I got to see her lovely baby bump grow.

Congratulations Kinga + Daniel on your lovely addition!

Hugs,

Connecticut Lifestyle Photographer | Family Session | 2+2+2=6

Here’s a story, of a lovely lady, who was bringing up two very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold (and other shades), like their mother, the youngest one in (non)curls. Here’s the story, of a man named Keith, who was busy with two boys of his own…

Ok, ok… Enough ‘Brady Bunch’. So Keith + Lisa = 6 + lots of craziness and fun = Just the way I like it! Their family is pretty much the cat’s meow – a pillar at my gym, (which I need to start showing my face to again) and I love them. You might recognize the firey-red head from her senior session I shot.

Enjoy & Hugs,

-Athena

In between shots Gianna ran up to me and I love this shot I caught of the cutie.

I wanted to try this really rad idea that I saw on the image is found’s site. It’s imperfect, but it makes me happy. :)

Aww…

This is where Lisa had an impromptu pop, lock & dropping it moment.

Christian's Christening | Stratford, CT

Athena Bludé — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 05:46:01 +0000

Back in October my husband had the honor of becoming the godfather of his long-time friend’s son, Christian. Our friends have such a gorgeous family and we love being a part of their lives and getting to see their kiddos grow. Here are my favorite highlights from the christening.

Some quick shots outside the church of their family & godparents. It doesn’t look it, but it was a very chilly fall day! (Big sister, Paige’s smile cracks me up.)

WARNING: Baby Christian is so cute, he’ll give you the baby aches!

Could this little man’s white suit be any more ridiculous?! What a baby stud.

Babies love the lens.

Connecticut Lifestyle Photography | Sister and Family Session

My sweet & fit friend, Tina, whom I met at my gym (CrossFit Milford) has two cutetastic girls that she wanted portraits of. Of course I was honored that she wanted me to capture their doll faces. At first we looked for a barn with horses and other animals. We came up short on the animals, but Tina scored a sweet barn in our neck of the woods on another beautiful fall day, (Mother Nature making up for our rainy summer). I’d say that we came up long (however you say the opposite of coming up short) on the shots.

The girls sneaked a peak as their parents kissed and then squealed, “Eww…” So funny!

You don’t have to ask me twice to get ice cream. :)
