Ooh la la! Boudoir Session!




Here's the tiniest sneak peek from a recent boudoir session I did... I had SO much fun shooting this, as the woman in the pictures was so gorgeous (OMG hair to die for) and sweet! I just love helping women liberate and celebrate their own beauty!

Boudoir photography (sometimes referred to as glamour photography) has a long history, beginning with the classic pin-up photos of Betty Grable in the 1940's and Marilyn Monroe in the 50's. Boudoir photography relies on the power of suggestion and conveys mystery, romance, playfulness and celebration, and anyone can do it! It makes a wonderful, personal wedding gift from a bride to a groom, a Valentine's gift, or simply as a gift to yourself, to celebrate your own amazing allure.

Can't reveal any more from this session, as it is for her boyfriend's eyes only... but if you would like to book your own session, contact me via Striking Photography's website today!

Overland Park Arboretum Luminary Walk


Had a wonderful time last night at the O.P. Arboretum's annual Luminary Walk. The Arb is gorgeous any time of year, but this event creates a magic that is just enchanting! I highly recommend you check it out next year, if you have never been!

Here are a couple of the photographs I took. I suspect some of them will make it onto Striking's website as a background or two! (Every photo you see on the site is my own work, not stock photo provided by an outside source.)

I hope you and yours are having a magical holiday season this year :-)
