Bella Donna Darlene {WNY Portrait Photographer}

 Darlene was a lot of fun to work with, and so interesting to listen to. She came in at the beginning of the month to do a session for her boyfriend who just left for NASCAR school (I didn't even know such a thing existed!). As a self-proclaimed tomboy she came in with an idea and little else, but knew Samantha and I were up to the task of making her look and feel like a million bucks. 

 Bonus points to Darlene for her enthusiasm at wanting to help make our soon to be opened new boudoir studio look like a million! The gorgeous architect has been awesome at dropping knowledge and hooking us up. The new studio will have a pink bathroom with a pink slipper tub, retro kitchen, salon room and a proper boudoir set. Below you'll see the first set, and soon we'll have a second of her at the new studio!

Why did you book a boudoir photo session?  It was something that I have always wanted to do, when I saw a deal come up on FindItQuick I had to jump on it.

Why did you choose Bella Donna Boudoir?  Before purchasing the voucher I looked at some photos on-line and they looked beautiful.  Plus I loved the philosophy on the web site of not having a "one size fits all" mentality.

How did you prepare for your session?  Found some examples of hair and make up ideas, and shopping!  It was a great excuse for more shoes!

Who are your images for?  Boyfriend

How was your boudoir photography the experience?  WONDERFUL!  Melissa and Samantha were amazing to work with.  They made me feel very comfortable through out the entire thing. 

 

How do you feel about your photos?  Gorgeous, I was amazed at what I looked like when everything was done. 

Did you have your Hair & Makeup done with us?  Yes

Why should others?  It's part of the whole experience, a few hours away of pampering and every woman desearves to feel beautiful.

Do you have an interesting story about your experience?  Melissa was amazing about what I could get done with the photos, everything from a calendar to prints on metal.  I loved all of the artistic options, so much more interesting than just basic prints in a frame.

Anything youd like to add?  I can't wait to see more of the wonderful ladies of Bella Donna, I know I will and I am so anxious to help them with their brand new studio space.  Once I see the pink bath tub I know I'll be booking another photo, something with lots of bubbles!

 Thank you so, so much Darlene! You look amazing and have a heart of gold!
