Belly Session| Read Up...

Meet this ADORABLE family: Kishaun, Lorenzo and little Khalil. It was a double pleasure to photograph these three and one more in the works

not only because they are just so close and lovely together, but also, because Kishaun is a photographer herself… Us photographers feed off of our models’ energy and interaction, and these guys were extremely easy to photograph. Kishaun and I often stopped and talked about values and obstacles of being a female photographer. It was so much fun to find out that we basically go through the same situations, deal with the same issues and enjoy photography as much! We couldn’t go without some boudoir action, but those teasers aren’t for this blog

. I absolutely adore the three and wish Kishaun a short and safe delivery and happy Ftherhood and Brotherhood to Lorenzo and Khalil!

LOVE to ALL,
Olga

The Brady bunch | Read Up...

Meet Kristen, Brad, Taylor, Hannah, Sydney, Sully and Gunnar! I loved photographing this Brady bunch! Bribed with McDonald’s after the shoot, they all were so awesome in front of the camera! We started with little Gunnar, who was just such a good boy, that I would prize him with the BIG McFlurry if I could! No I wouldn’t

, mama’s milk is the best

. And when everyone came from school, we shot around their house and a little park area. I just love seeing how differently awesome each one of them is, and being able to capture them was just a blessing!

Thank you guys for opening your doors for me and letting me to get to know you a bit more! Can’t wait to see you again!

LOVE to ALL,
Olga

Beautiful Isabella, adorable Big Boy baby Isaac and my favorite girl ever: Francesca. While I’m not familiar with all the tricks of children’s photography, I was very excited to shoot this beautiful family. Francesca has been my favorite make-up artist and the sweetest person I know in Vegas ever since I started being interested in photography, she has also been the make-up artist for 95% of my beautiful clients at I see Sexy Boudoir Photography. Since I know Francesca for years, I wanted to take a more artistic, sensual approach to their portraits. Grainy muted and black and whites I thought were perfect for this shoot.

My question to all the children’s photographers out there: how can you not want more children while being surrounded with adorable kiddos all the time?

LOVE to ALL,
Olga

Meet my brother and his now wife Angela

. I not only came back from Belarus fully recharged with love and humidity, but I am now also a sis-in-law

. This role is super new to me, but from the time I’ve spent with the lovebirds, I know it will be super easy!

So we did a little love session after their wedding, which was fantabulous by the way! Lots of love, toasts, “Gor’ko!”,  singing, dancing, drinking, eating, did I forget drinking?, dancing, oh and drinking! I have also danced THE BEST Polka dance of my life! I never knew my uncle is such an awesome Polka dance leader! It was plain awesome!

So on to some visuals, meet the new Mr and Mrs!

LOVE to ALL!

Olga

(IF you know what I mean

). Those two are sooooo beautiful and affectionate together: Texan and Oregonian they instantly clicked the moment they met! He’s a cowboy and she is a country girl. I couldn’t have thought of a better spot for their e-session than the one and only Red Rock Canyon. Hope you enjoy!

And with a one day delay:

LOVE to ALL!

Now a bit about my personal achievements: my baby girl turned … well, count her fingers

…

Yes, she is 4! And enjoying being a big girl! She graduated to a big kids class at her school and even got her own locker! Yay!

So guilty of taking thousands pics for others I decided it was time for my Yana’s model to shine! Tyra Banks would be so proud of her!

So Taylor and Brian brought some love to Vegas all the way from Chicago. Beautiful couple with an amazing and touching story was everything I wanted to photograph! Starting from their personalities (that I started to get to know from Taylor’s cute fashion blog and her Twitter way before their date), to their outfits to the limits they were willing to be pushing with us. We had to work with an amazing couple at an amazing location: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. And by we I mean me and the guest photographer who is an amazing friend of our family from Hawaii: Shawn Fields with Black Tie Cinema. Shawn came up with some a-m-azing shots through the shoot!

I must say I am all about the fusion in my style, and post processing, and I often like to mix it up a bit… So when Shawn told me he wanted to help me out for this wedding, I was so on board! This way not only it’s fun for me, it is also a great way for the couple to get a mix of creativity in their wedding photos… So let’s see how all that jazz turned out

!

ALSO, I have a big favor to ask all of you: Mr Brian (aka “the groom”) was super shy about taking his pictures, and mentioned something about never having them taken again

, so I wanted to give him a great cheer and for everyone to let him know how great he was as a model! Please leave some love for him in the comments box!!!

She is awesome. He is super cool. They are FUN. Their wedding was THE BEST EVER! (aka “THE SHIT” by Jared)

Wow, I don’t even know where to start. First off, when I heard Lauren and Jared were engaged, I was super excited for them. I met L&J at Jill and Alan’s super fun Vegas wedding last year and got to know a bit of their fun personality then. So when I got an email form Lauren, I was so on board!!

They got married at Long Beach, CA at the Grand Event Center. First off, hats off to Lauren for planning the wedding so thoroughly… I think it was the only wedding, where the reception tables were all set up by 9am while the ceremony time was 6pm! I still remember one wedding I shot where the bride had to install the runner while in her wedding dress… So anyways, besides all the details and attention that was invested in preparation, the 250 guest event was full of FUN, LOVE, BOOZE (;)), amazing ENERGY and character coming from L&J and their closest friends

.

So on to the photos… We started the journey at the Syndicate Barber Shop in Long Beach, where all the boys got their groom on

. Awesome place with the character: 50’s era barber shop with retro gadgets, tattoo art, men’s magazines, booze and smoke is the ultimate place for the boys and photographers like me

. It just had a character, that a lot of places are missing nowadays… Loved it!

Isn’t this place awesome? BTW that was Jared getting the ultimate make-over!

And then there was the wedding day! Meet Lauren and her Louboutins

(mniam!)

Vanessa and Shawn celebrated their 4th Wedding Anniversary with the trip to Vegas! And they wanted to do the couple session here as another way to capture their love, and their trip

… Since their job is rather conservative, I thought the best place for their session was something cool, like Nelson Ghost Town… Needless to say they were up for it and I think we came up with some cool shots out there!

LOVE to ALL,

Olga
