 Let's talk about your shoot...

Tips: Please arrive promptly or early with CLEAN DRY hair and no make-up. Please do not get a spray tan.  Stay sober- not saying a drink or two isn't okay.  We just don't want your eyes looking glazed and droopy.

Here are a few things to bring: a robe (there will be at least 7 people around you at some point during your session) and/or button down shirt for hair and make-up
1-2 outfits
props and your own hair accessories
although I have the red flower, bandanas, and MANY props available for you to use.

One of the sets is all red, so keep that in mind for your clothing (or lack there of) selections.

 If you need outfits, here are a few suggestions:

Online- Victoria's Secret, Rebel Circus, ModCloth, AdoreMe (or just Google Pin-Up outfits/lingerie)

Camphill: Underneath It All

Carlisle: Timebomb

Antique stores: Northgate (head to the basement) in Carlisle and Antique Marketplace in Lemoyne

It was an absolute pleasure to work with this bombshell.  So down to earth.  Her husband is such a lucky fellow. I want to point out a few keys to my posing during a boudoir shoot.

First of all, it's always good to have something for your hands to be doing so they don't look awkward.  Often it's playing with jewelry...

 

your hair or clothing..

.

Variety of poses keep them guessing.

 

  Great to mix it up in your album with a detail shot.  This one is a favorite of mine.  Subtle and extremely sexy without showing a lot.

Ring placement is always key in a gift to a groom.  For anyone who doesn't want to show certain parts of their body, there are a million poses to only accentuate your assets.  Keeping your head towards the light source and closer to the camera slims the hips and legs.

How much does she look like Reese Witherspoon in this shot?

Mixing it up between not looking, looking serious, smiling, and laughing are crucial to mixing it up for the series of photos in your album.

 Backlighting is a tricky way of really slimming a figure.  The brightness wraps the edges of the body to make it smaller.  This shot uses the angles in her arms to lead your eye through the shot.  She looks like she's cut straight from the pages of a VS catalog.  Glowing and GORGEOUS!

Don't worry though, I always coach my clients through their session so you don't have to remember all of these tips.  One of the biggest comments I receive is that it's so much easier more comfortable than they thought it would be. I've also written a blog on what to bring and how to prepare for your shoot and you can find it HERE.  If you want stunning images like this, you know where to find me. Pin-up weekend is coming up November 12-13!  Can't wait to see you all there!

Megan Zeller Photography Boudoir Teaming with a Salon?

I've been playing around with the idea of teaming up with a local salon for my boudoir business.  I wanted to see what all of YOU think!  Right now I have clients meet make-up and hair artists at my home prior to their shoot.  I thought it would be a great move to advertise with a postcard at an upscale local salon offering their clients a discount on my services as well as a discount to my clients for any of the services they provide.

I do love the intimacy of doing everything here, however my clients could pick and choose their services to include nails or waxing eyebrows etc.  Beyond that, it insures that there will always be someone available for your shoot and gives me some extra time with my family at home before I have to give them to boot before all the excitement begins.

Leave your comments and let me know what you think of Megan Zeller Photography teaming up with an amazing local salon!

Boudoir Photography- Central PA

Today I photographed the most beautiful girl.

These shoots are great confidence boosters and are so much fun.

One of the most common comments I get is that I made it comfortable and not at all awkward.

I love helping women see how amazingly beautiful they are.

(Go ahead and start hating- these photos have not yet been retouched other than the black backgrounds.)

Thank you so much for coming to hang out today!

The Knot

After years of excuses, I pulled the trigger and signed up to advertise with The Knot online.

I wanted to have a logo and a new website and now that I've reached that point, I wanted to make a big move in advertising my business.

I'm looking forward to meeting new brides and photographing some awesome weddings this year.

So far I have booked a wedding on a boat cruising the Inner Harbor in Baltimore and a one where I get to spend the weekend shooting at Kill Devil Hills at the Outter Banks!

Along with the anticipated arrival of my daughter, 2015 promises to be a GREAT year!

Growing My Business Through Thumbtack

I am always looking for ways to grow my business and do more work.  After looking for a plumber one day, I stumbled upon Thumbtack.  It's a sight/application where you can look for professionals in your area.
Here is the link to my profile:

wedding photographer

I have been using Thumbtack for about a year now and it has really helped me to target new work specific to dates I have open or areas I'd like to shoot more such as weddings and boudoirs.

In a field where there is so much competition I've really appreciated Thumbtack's ability for me to gain new clients.  I have shot several professional head shots for individuals and companies, a wedding rehearsal and brunch, a family in Hershey, 5 boudoir sessions, and have a wedding booked for May through responding to leads.  

The great thing is that turns into a life long customer and more referrals.

My past clients are able to review my business to help increase my chances of booking new work.  If you have a moment, please leave your comments about work I have done for you and your families.

Boudoir Shooting Deadlines for the Holidays

Gorgeous Boudoirs

Every woman is beautiful.  

Particularly this one.  These photos are without any retouching done!

Boudoir popularity is growing! If you have ever thought of doing it, you've gotta try it out! My clients often talk about how much fun they are to have shot and the final product makes a jaw dropping gift- especially for your soon to be groom! And Christmas is coming!

The books are also great as anniversary, birthday & Valentine's gifts, or for a deployed spouse.

I offer very affordable packages. The all inclusive package is only $350 which includes hair and make-up with fake lashes if you would like (I recommend them), a 2 hour shoot with 2-4 changes, full retouching on all of the photos you select to have printed, an online gallery for you to make your selections, and a 20 page 5x7" leather album 

I can shoot a la carte for $65/hour then you can purchase prints separately for those of you on a really tight budget.

Come let your beauty SHINE!

Contact me at megan@meganzellerphotography.com or call 717-215-2874 (ok to text) to book your appointment.

*Books take about 6 weeks to complete so please book your session with ample time prior to the gift giving occasion.
