Ddkportraits has opened a new photography studio in Alpharetta Georgia, just North of Atlanta.  We are also in the process of creating a separate boudoir business with a new boudoir-only website COMING SOON!  I am very excited about these new endeavors.  The studio space is fantastic — located in the heart of downtown Alpharetta with an address of 116 N. Main Street.  Please feel free to stop by and say hello sometime.  I have several rooms with lots of opportunities for various set ups and lighting situations.  Boasting both fantastic natural light and plenty of room for studio light set-ups, this studio allows me to do a large variety of shots with each session and, best of all, my sessions are no longer dependent on good weather!

And the studio is the PERFECT spot for boudoir photography.  I have a comfortable, private dressing room, a full bathroom and even a kitchen which is great for hosting boudoir parties.  I will post some photos of the studio in a subsequent post and will keep you all informed of the launch of the exciting new website which will be at www.ddkboudoir.com!  Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, I thought I would share some of my favorite photos from a few recent boudoir sessions that were done at the new studio.

When this gorgeous bride-to-be met with me for the first time to discuss her wedding portraits, I was uncertain as to whether she would be interested in doing a boudoir session.   Boudoir portrait sessions, which are becoming increasingly popular with brides-to-be (and really any woman who wants to feel like a supermodel for a day), can be a tad controversial — it IS a lingerie shoot after all and the woman is deliberately portrayed in as sexy a light as possible while still exuding class.   As I had it in my head that this bride-to-be was the more conservative type, I didn’t know what her feelings were about doing this kind of shoot and I certainly didn’t want to turn her off.     I mentioned it to her anyway as we discussed the different wedding portrait packages that I offer and, thanks to my trusty iPad, I was able to show her my boudoir portfolio.   To my delight she loved my portfolio and was very much interested in doing a boudoir photography session.

So, about a month before the wedding, we met for her session.

She brought such pretty lingerie and her confidence and easy-going personality made this shoot a breeze.

When I showed her the proofs from the shoot she was thrilled and then asked me to design an album for her to give to her groom the night before the wedding.  I designed a 12 page album using her favorite shots, beautiful backgrounds and even quotes from their wedding songs.   It was a simple black leather album — his own personal “little black book” if you will — of his new BRIDE!   The boudoir album turned out beautifully and she was very appreciative and excited to present it to her groom-to-be.

Well, last night was the rehearsal and I’m guessing she gave him the book.  I haven’t talked with her today but will see her this evening to shoot her wedding.  I’m dying to hear about his reaction to these boudoir photographs of his lovely bride.  He is one lucky guy and I’m sure he knew it before he saw this pics — but I’ll bet he has a little extra spring in his step today!!

And, just for the record, she IS somewhat conservative but also knows how to have fun — a perfect combination!  Check back to see the wedding pics — she is going to be stunning.

Have a fantastic weekend.
