The moment I realized…

The moment I realized that Boudoir had been my dream all along, was with this session.

Biannca Adelia Boudoir

I posted a model call to test the waters before I went through with a requested maternity boudoir session I had booked.

After delivering the images for the model call, I received a long message and my immediate thought was “oh no….what’s wrong with the pictures” and it was the exact opposite. The message went along the lines of appreciation because this was an experience she didn’t even realize she needed and she never thought of herself in the way the images represented her, and it felt good.

In reading this message….I realized that’s what I NEEDED too. The thing is….this woman is also a passionate entrepreneur…and it was never about needing something to build self esteem or building confidence….it’s about seeing yourself better than you did yesterday. It’s about taking a break and seeing a gorgeous image of yourself and

IN THAT MOMENT, you’re not thinking “oh, Sally is way more gorgeous than me” or “I’ll never be as confident as her”.

Biannca Adelia Boudoir

You’re thinking about how the beautiful woman in that image is YOU….and how gorgeous SHE is.

Seeing the best version of yourself can completely change the direction of life you believe you are worth.

In that moment, I realized how much more powerful this was for me than any other type of photography…It truly spoke to my heart in a way that

gave me no other option but to pursue it in it’s entirety.

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

 

When I was gifted my first DSLR after graduation in 2007, I mainly shot abandoned farm houses, industrial locations, downtown alleys.

In 2008, I got really lucky and made some of the best gal pals, who were totally okay with being at the mercy of my weird creativity. And there…..is where my passion blossomed.

Venturing into family photography around 2012 for the intention of creating a business out of my passion, something always felt like it was missing. Don’t get me wrong, I love capturing those treasured moments for friends and their new family additions, etc…..but there is something about working with women and creating a door for them to see themselves in a different light……that I am so naturally drawn to. I can’t even begin to describe how natural I feel when I am in a shoot these days. I could be totally stressed out before the session begins and once we start shooting…my focus becomes more clear than I feel in day to day reality.

Today, I didn’t want to worry about getting better. It is wayyyyy too often I find myself comparing my art and abilities to others I find more advanced, and to be perfectly honest…it tears me down big time. Today, I wanted to celebrate the fact that I finally found my true passion and individual purpose in this lifetime, and also how far I have come.

I wanted to celebrate the tears, doubts, heartaches, and struggles I have went through to build myself into the person I am today.

I will never stop bettering myself in the art of photography and women’s portraiture, but I think it is also important to celebrate where I am right now.

Lady friends, I wish I had known at the time just how much you would impact my life’s purpose. I love you gals.

A peak into my editing process

“When life gets blurry, adjust your focus.”

Before & After Biannca Adelia Boudoir & Beauty

Before & After Biannca Adelia Boudoir & Beauty

For day 2 of my 100 days of photography challenge I wanted to give you a glimpse into the editing tactics I use to perfect your images. I always open them up in Lightroom first to fix the tones and color of my image. After that I continue to open THAT adjusted image into Photoshop where I add the last little tweaks. Take a look in the video.

In this video I am wearing my botanical foundation and perfect mascara found here.

As always, please email me at Photo@BianncaAdelia.com with any questions!!
Thank you for your time and support on my blog.

Let’s talk about my favorite little photography tool!!

“When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.” – Alfred Eisenstaedt

I am a SUCKER for tools that give my images a little extra kapow! Being as I am technically in the business of boudoir photography, I am constantly looking for ways to add a little fun to my ladies special portraits and this little tool in the video is one way I do so. This little crystal prism is easily found right on Amazon and I am thinking I only paid about $12 for it. What a steal for treasured images, right!? Take a look in the video below to see the outcome of the effects you can capture with a crystal.

In this video I am wearing LimeLight by Alcone’s botanical foundation found here. In the Summer Florida heat in Polk County, this stuff is wonderful to stay in place all day. You can also join me on your very own beauty adventure here.

Simple & Polished Makeup with Glasses

“I feel more confident if my makeup looks good.”

-Ellie Goulding

When you feel like leaving your contacts at home but still want to look put together, the biggest concern is that pesky shadow from your frames. I would pay close attention to lightening that under eye area and making those eyes pop.

Use neutral colors and emphasize your eyelid crease, lash line, & define those brows girl.

No matter what…I ALWAYS contour and top it off with my Perfect Mascara.

To avoid that oily build up from where your glasses rest,

use some finishing powder to set your makeup, along with a high quality setting spray.

Here’s what I used:

Botanical Foundation in Shinto 1 (lightening color), Shinto 2 (color matched foundation), Olive 4 (contour color)
Lottie Dream On Palette (SOLD OUT)
Perfect Mascara
Enduring Lip Color
Perfect Pressed Powder
Finishing Spray

How I pose women from size 2-20

“I’m not going to sacrifice my mental health to have the perfect body.”
-Demi Lovato

I received a message from a woman who was interested in booking a session with me. One of her questions, throwing me TOTALLY off guard was, “Do you know how to pose bigger girls?”

It took me a second. Never ever even thinking about this, I had no idea what to say. Although I started shooting Boudoir exclusively only 6 months ago, I have photographed nearly 30 women already….and never once did I think about posing women differently based on their size.

Biannca Adelia Boudoir

Products used here: Enduring Lip Color in Wedding Cake, Dream On Palette for Eyes and Brows (discontinued), Perfect Mascara, & Perfect Blush in Glowing. You can see more professional makeup available at my shop link HERE or you can join me as a Beauty Guide HERE.

Women have come to me from a size 2, to a size 17….and I have posed them all exactly the same. I’ve used my same “flow” that I usually go through. Every woman moves differently, has different mannerisms, and I pose accordingly. Some women have insecurities like scars, or stretch marks, or maybe a boob they think is noticeably smaller than the other…..and I of course pose accordingly. But never have I shot a women differently or been biased to a certain style of posing due to size.

I will shoot a size 2 the same as I shoot a size 20 & I will shoot a size 20 the same as I shoot a size 2.

We need to get away from this thought of “I’m not good enough”. We need to stop thinking that we can’t celebrate today….because we’re not good enough today. You don’t have to put in years of work to celebrate your worth, or your body. You’re amazing right now. You’re beautiful right now. You’re ENOUGH…right now.

I encourage you to email me if you are ever feeling down…because I know how it feels. I hope you know you are worth happiness and celebration, and if you don’t think so….I’d love to listen & chat with you.

I would love this opportunity to celebrate with you!

“Good women can be wild too.”

“Good women can be wild too.”
-r.h. sin

Milk Bath sessions seem to be all the rage among the maternity photography industry. I, personally, am a huge fan and think they make very feminine and beautiful photographs to remember your transition into motherhood. What better way to celebrate Boudoir, than to put a sultry spin on the same concept?

This woman found me by chance, through what I believe, mutual friends online. I posted into my VIP Boudoir group (found here) that I really wanted to try a milk bath boudoir session and this sweet lady messaged me almost immediately. She showed up to her session with a TON of things and ideas and was 110% ready for her shoot! I was in total amazement! Based on what I knew about her through message consulting, she seemed like a pretty conservative and sweet lady with a good head on her shoulders. (I do pre-consults always since I shoot in my private residential studio) As a boudoir photographer, I ADORE women a bit on the unconventional side who think outside the box.

From our conversations throughout the session, I was able to hear her story and why she decided to book a boudoir session. She had been a stay at home mom for quite a few years and had an interview the next day. This was her way of taking a leap and putting herself out there…..reconnecting with herself. It must have worked because she got the job the same day as the interview!

This session taught me that we are ALL just normal women….good women….who really want that feeling of being sexy again….and dang it we’re allowed. There’s an empowering affect after seeing how gorgeous you are in a photograph that truly makes a woman unstoppable.

So be wild. Be daring. Take a chance. Dream on. Push forward.

It’s never too early to start planning your own themed or styled boudoir session. Contact me here or join my Private Boudoir VIP group here.

Loving vs. Fighting

Do you ever scroll threw Facebook and see posts from a gal who struggles to love herself? I do…and it literally just sets me off. I don’t know why, but I kind of take it personal when I see a woman doubt herself. I just want to scream…”love yourself woman!!!”

I laid in bed last night and all I kept thinking was about the tale old Lover vs. Fighter conflict.

I believe you have to find your balance to love AND fight…because sometimes you have to fight your doubt so that you can love more. My mother raised me on the concept to FIGHT and I grew up through adolescence seeking LOVE. It was then that I realized you don’t just get love…you have to fight for it…and you have to learn how to fight in the right way….a way that’s constructive.

Boudoir is such an incredible way to celebrate yourself as you are right now…in this very moment….fighting for your way to loving yourself again.
