Rock the Dress| Prom Edition!

It's that time of year again. First you graduate and then there is the moment all teenage girls look forward to since the moment they first step foot through those high school doors. Prom. From the dress, to the shoes, to the hair and the limo, every detail was thought out and planned. But what do you do with all of it afterwards? Especially the dress.

I know my prom dress has spent years sitting in my parents closet and I have not worn that dress since. Same goes for all my sisters dresses as well. Come to think of it, between four daughters, my parents closet looks as if they are starting their own clothing ball gown clothing store. I wish that Rock the Dress photography was around when I was graduating high school. I would have had something else to do with my dress and some funky photos ta boot!

These sessions are sometimes also known as trash the dress session, how trashed you want the dress to get is totally up to you. In all honestly I have done these sessions with brides, full out beach shoots, dress right in the water, and the girls have been able to sell the dress afterwards. Rock the dress sessions are an awesome and untraditional way to give your dress a second chance to live, for you to have some real fun in it and get some great shots of you in it without worrying about how dirty it gets. The stress of prom is done and over with so it's a more relaxed setting for the model as well. The girls don't need to worry about time for limos and diner, where their friends are, etc. No need to worry about hair and make up, just put on the dress, and we are good to go! It's a day just for them, the dress and a great final celebration of the end of high school. These are a fun way to capture that moment as they are graduating from one mile stone in life to another chapter in the future.

Even if prom was a few years ago, why not throw on that dress one more time and have some real fun and creative images of yourself all dressed up.

Here are a few images from some of my past rock the dress sessions

Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir.

Boudoir.  It's exciting It's inciting And it's confusing and intimating all at the same time!  If you are thinking about a boudoir I'm sure you have some pretty big questions on the top of your head. That's fine. I mean it's not everyday you are standing half naked in front of a perfect stranger.  So you have questions... I've got answers. Q: Boudoir. Pornography. What’s the difference? A: Well for starters Boudoir is suggestive, while porn is... well you know. And you don’t have to be complete nude or revel anything at all when it comes to boudoir photographs. One of the most important things about being sexy is being confident. If you feel that way wearing jeans, by all means, wear jeans! Or a button down men’s dress shirt. Sure why not? Classy, suggestive, and flirty. Q: Can you Photoshop my images? A: If you would like to have say, stretch marks, a scar, that unwanted, embarrassing tattoo from when you were 16...

Bohemian Beach Goddess

A while back, when the weather was just starting to get nice again I did a shoot with the beautiful Malissa Otting. Malissa came to me with this great idea of bohemian beach style photo session. Of course I was on board. No normally I do shoots with MUA Griffin Shields, however the date and time of this shoot Griffin was unavailable so I worked with up and coming mua Sarah Stechyshyn. When I was first starting out Sarah was one of my very first models. And that is one thing I love about my job, the wonderful people you and the long term friendships you create along the way. We meet Malissa at her apartment for hair, make up and wardrobe. The beach we shot at was just a ways down the street from there. The beach itself was pretty cool. It was quiet with a small run off that trailed into the water. The remains of what were once board walks and boating docks protruded from the sand and water, parts of the wood had small plants growing from them. The sand was lined with trees and shrubs....

Choosing Your Location, Fall Addition

It's that time of year again where the weather changes and vibrant hues surround us. So looking for a place to take photos may be different than a place in the summer or winter that you enjoyed. Choosing a location that best suits you and your comfort level is important. It is good to pick somewhere that will make your session memorable and pleasing for you. Find a place that fits well with your personality and gets you to enjoy your experience. Some of my favorite places in the Fall time are Morningstar Mill, Malcolmson Eco Park both in St Catharines. As well as Firemans Park in Niagara Falls, McFarland House in Niagara on the Lake, and Balls Falls in Vineland.  Morningstar Mills is a heritage site located at Decew Falls. This site features a beautiful working mill rebuilt in 1872 and is surrounded with trees and water. It is a good naturalistic place to go, especially in the fall time when there are numerous colors all around you and a beautifully built mill overlooking some wate...
