Today I got to meet baby Jaakko who is almost 2 weeks old and just beautiful! His mommy and daddy love him so much and it was really obvious how proud they are of him. He’s a curious little guy and didn’t sleep a wink for the three hours I spent with them…can’t say I blame him though, I’d probably be a bit freaked out if someone was taking my picture with a camera bigger than my head too ;)

It was great seeing you guys again, enjoy your sneak peek!

I just wanted to let you all know that there are 2 spots left for my boudoir marathon on April 25th. This is perfect if you are looking for a special gift for your significant other (birthday present, grooms gift, anniversary present) or if you just want to spoil yourself for a day and have some fun. If you’d like to reserve a spot or want more information send me an email or give me a call (0176/2384 0967). Please note that I cannot reserve your spot until the model release is signed and I receive your deposit.

For those who have already reserved your spot, I will get back to you around the end of the month with the time of your shoot. I can’t wait to meet you and I hope you are all as excited about it as I am!

Spring Fling Boudoir Marathon

February 10, 2009

Back in the fall I wanted to setup a Boudoir Marathon…well it involved a bit more organization and planning than I anticipated, and a bunch of people expressed interested in taking part after the holidays, so I put the idea on hold…until now.

Now I know Boudoir is still an unfamiliar term for many people, so let me try to explain what it is… to me its sexy, seductive photos done in a VERY tasteful manner. It is NOT nude photography… I like to leave things up to the imagination. Boudoir can really go in a few different directions… it can be anything from cute and fun to sexy and seductive depending on your personality and what you are comfortable with! Boudoir sessions are tons of fun! They are great if you want to do something out of character, or just want to feel extra glamorous for a day! They make great presents to yourself or for someone special in your life!

If this sounds like fun to you, then mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25th, because I will be hosting aSpring Fling Boudoir Marathon in a gorgeous hotel suite in Munich! I am SO excited because I know this will be a blast! Here are the details:

Up to 1 hr prep time with a professional make-up artist/ hair stylist
1 hour photo shoot in a suite of a 4 start hotel centrally located in Munich
Unlimited liquid courage (Sekt and Mimosas)
20-30 proofed images in a private gallery for 2 weeks
A top quality 5×5 (can be upgraded to 8×8) handcrafted album with 20 photos of your choice from you session (this alone is worth over 200€)
20% off of any other prints/products ordered

As this is mostly for portfolio building purposes, I am offering a VERY special price of 275€ if you are willing to sign a model release allowing me to use your photos on my website and to promote future Boudoir sessions.

There are only a few slots available, so email me as soon as possible if you’d like to take part or would like more information!

April 13, 2009 - UPDATE  - There are still 2 spots open so its not too late to join in!

April Marquardt: How exciting! I wish I didn't live so far!

shey: So fun!!!

Diddlyi

October 31, 2008

A few days ago I had an awesome session with the Diddlyi team! It was a bit different then what I usually do in that it was more of a commercial shoot than a portrait session, but I had so much fun and got a taste of some great Irish dancing…all I have to say is WOW!! I wish I had more time to just sit and watch, but being that it was one of my most challenging sessions yet (lights, mirrors, and Shane flying through the air make for some tricky times!) my face was glued to the back of the camera! Anyway, here are a few images from their session. Enjoy!

Shane McAvinchey: Wow Kristin! These look absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much again for the great shoot and I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics! Cheers! Shane
