Sneak Peak! Boudoir Session

This red-hot redhead wanted a photo session to give to her fiance as a wedding gift. She is getting married soon... sorry, fellas! "If ya like it then you shoulda put a ring on it..." -- and he is! Smart guy :-)








This was a really engaging session for me, as this was my first time shooting yoga. Yoga photography is an amazing genre that is developing quickly as this ancient practice gains more and more popularity in the United States. I found that yoga revealed to me the harmony and strength present within the human form in an entirely novel way, which was a real treat as a photographer. Beautiful!

Sneak Peek! A Beautiful Family Session

This was a simple and fun family session that I did over the holidays. The two girls could not be sweeter. It was a special time for them because they will be welcoming Baby #3 in a few months. I'm so glad I got to share in this wonderful time of their lives.

Why a Boudoir Session Makes a Great Valentine's Gift

It's something only you can give him.

It's something he'll genuinely enjoy.

It's waaay more creative than the usual silk boxer shorts.

It lasts longer than a box of chocolates.

It's FUN!

And finally, because doing a boudoir session is not just for him, it's also for YOU. It's an act of daring and, more importantly, SELF-CONFIDENCE to revel in this side of your personality!

Remember ladies - a boudoir photography session is all about YOU. You can be as revealing, playful, sexy, coy, romantic and glamorous as you wanna be. As your photographer, I work with you to create a look that is uniquely yours.

Supermodels need not apply ;-)

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 :-)

Corporate Headshots by Striking Photography

First impressions are important. In today's competitive and technically savvy world, more and more clients and employers are using the internet to network. They screen suppliers, research service providers, obtain references, and Google potential employees - all before they even talk to you on the phone.

So let Striking Photography help you convey the professional image that inspires confidence in your work with a PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS PORTRAIT. Affordable, quick and easy, a business portrait instantly polishes your image online.

A potential client's decision to do business with you will often be based in large part on the sense of your competence, professionalism and demeanor created by your photographer. Striking Photography's corporate headshots are subtly created based on the message you wish to convey.

As simple as they may seem at first glance, creating an effective corporate headshot requires a sophisticated photographer capable of understanding the branding of your business, and of translating that into a visual message with lighting, mood and wardrobe. Your images are created digitally, and multiple backgrounds are available, as is retouching.
