Properly Exposed Boudoir

Posted by DavidA thousand pardons for taking so long to get this one up. Miss TM was a little tentative about showing her sexy side. Once you see how her photographs turned out I'm sure you'll be wondering why she was concerned at all. She's gorgeous.Straight to our studio after work, we got her set up with Amy who once again did an amazing job with makeup. We took a few portraits outside before the sun went down and then moved inside for the fun...

Posted by David Mrs. R was a great deal of fun to work with. She was loose, carefree, and filled with laughter. Unfortunately, I can't show you any of it. Well, I can show you a little taste, but that's all. I have to say, I do love the portrait shots. Painted Chic Makeup Artistry's makeup is to die for and Mrs. R's highlights create such a wonderful chiaroscuro effect. While I can't share much more, I couldn't help but throw in a small detail shot...

Posted by DavidAs a new feature to the blog, I'll be offering up some self critiques on images, explaining why I love the images that I do and things that I wish I could have changed or made better. It's a process that I try to go through with every shoot. Once we're all done and it's my turn to go through images, I like to make a short list of things that I need to work on heading into the next shoot. It's a holdover from my days at the Academy...

Posted by David In the beginning there was Becky. One of our very first shoots that I'm just now getting around to posting. There was so much involved with her shoot that it was hard sorting through and picking out just what to show. What was amazing was the range of shots possible with Becky. Some girls just want light and airy, others want dominant, still others want the classic pinup, Becky pulled them ALL off. What a day. But I'll let the shots...

Posted by DavidSomething you'll see from time to time here on the blog is a Before and After post. We feel that it is important for clients to understand that they are in capable hands and that in the digital age capturing the picture is only the first step in a long process. For those who would argue that digital manipulation is a lie and should be avoided, I offer up the simple truth that we are creating art. The very essence of art is the notion...

Brittany is a rare find when it comes to shooting. She’s a lengthy 5’10” without the killer heels. It makes it a little difficult when trying to follow the “always shoot down on women” photography rule, especially when you are 5'2" like Mel. But rules are made to be broken and Brittany sure does break them. She’s also up for just about anything. As we were outside warming up with some portraits before the boudoir, she mentioned that she saw my dad’s...

Posted by David A new brand, a new blog, a new studio and a new logo. As summer comes to an end and school gets ready to start back up, Melody and I find ourselves at the trailhead of new beginnings. Exciting times are ahead, and with a brand like this you can take that more than one way.   Does this mean we’re leaving the old trail? Why the separate images? Is M&D going away?   First of all, no. M&D Photography is still...
