Loft Noire | Valentine’s Day Contest | Boudoir Photography Charleston and Columbia, SC

As most of you know, our Gallery has a sister company, Loft Noire.  Loft Noire is our Boudoir Photography.  But, before you turn your head, please read and understand why our Gallery has chosen to support Boudoir Photography.

 

Why Boudoir?  You deserve to be beautiful. Eternally.

We chose to celebrate the human body in it’s most beautiful form, it’s natural form. Many women have issues feeling beautiful . . . and this isn’t an issue many women have after babies or as they get older. This is an issue that we have noticed in young women as well . . . even in some of our brides! How is this we ask? How is it that we don’t feel comfortable and beautiful in our own skin? I mean, let’s face it . . . no one is perfect. No one has that body that has been airbrushed on the front of magazines . . . and those that do . . . God has blessed you. But that doesn’t mean we all are not beautiful and that we all can’t feel as beautiful as the lady on the magazine. We should all feel beautiful in our own skins . . . and know that how we were made, is beautiful.

I get such a ‘high’ photographing Boudoirs by the reaction I get from my clients. Hearing the, ‘Oooh, Tomme.’ and the, ‘I can’t believe you made me look so pretty.’ and the, ‘I can’t wait to show these off, I look so good!’ — these make me smile soooo big! Knowing I showed a woman how beautiful she REALLY is. I helped her. I helped her in a way that she will never forget. In a way that will make her smile more . . . OR not be scared to wear the bikini on the beach . . . OR show off her shoulders at 50 . . . OR not be scared to ‘drop the towel when he’s looking’.

And to those of you who think Boudoir is similar to ‘soft porn’ . . . think again. I have many clients who don’t get naked for me. Wearing a cute nighty and some heels is enough to make a woman feel like she is the hottest thing that crossed his mind! There are MANY ways to photograph Boudoirs without getting naked! If you need help brainstorming ideas for your session, let us know! We will be happy to help give suggestions that will suit you!

Also, Boudoir photography is not just for the upcoming bride or the perfect anniversary present or for the long lasting married couples . . . Boudoir Photography is for Y O U.  You chose who you want the session to be for! Sometimes, it’s best to do a session just for Y O U.

.  .  .  .  .

Thank you for reading and understanding our our vision of Boudoir Photography . . . Now, we want you to do the same for us! However, yours doesn’t need to be so l-o-n-g . . . just a lil’ blurb on why YOU want a Boudoir Session.

FREE flirt Album (a $250 value)  with purchase of promotional session!
Our normal Sessions run about $500. We are giving this lucky winner the chance to have her Boudoir Session for a slight discount. Our Promotional Session values at $400. The Session includes a two hour boudoir session + two outfit changes.

feel every bit of the woman you are… | Fashion Photoshoot

Tomme Hilton Gallery‘s sister company, Loft Noire has been trying to get women to open up, dive into their feminine side and show off what God gave them! However, we find that many women now-a-days are not at all comfortable with their bodies… since we mostly see women averaging 100 lbs on tv or in magazines with ROCKIN’ bodies… Let’s face it, it’s all Photoshopped.

 

So, Tomme Hilton Gallery collaborated with a little Loft Noire wanted to show that women don’t have to be getting married, having babies or have a happy family to take photos. OR even get completely naked to feel beautiful!!

 

One Friday, we got together a few fun ladies (including myself, Erica Billingsley, Tomme Hilton Gallery’s Assistant) and spent the day shooting! We acted like kids again… trying on different outfits, playing in make up, posing, etc. We litterally tore my entire house apart. It was a dissaster! My livingroom and foyer became the ‘studio’ while my dinning room and bedroom/bathroom became the dressingroom. We had one girl blowing up balloons and moving furniture while the rest of us were doing hair, makeup and gettin dressed for the next shot. Laugh. It was so much fun.

 

If you haven’t seen some of the photos from our photoshoot on Facebook, please look at the below images!!

Christine - Sounds like so much fun – and what a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day! Love that sexy heel photo too! Those shoes are HOT!

ThE dOg is H-Y-P-E-R !!

I’ve been sitting here watching the puppy go about 400 mph, slide on the wood floors into something *preferrably with a liquid on top of it* and be completely oblivious that this shouldn’t be normal. Then. Rinse and Repeat. I am shoving ‘chewies’ at her hoping it pacifies the lucipher that lurks deep within! to NO AVAIL! 

I’m just going to overview a few things going on in my life right now. Just to catch up with me. Maybe I just have been so busy that I need to see it in print to even put into context everything that’s been going on. This may seem like boasting but I’m a little excited about this so I want to share. Some of you may or may not know that the hb does some acting. He has done several small independent films and some voice over work.  He is currently working on a Western called ‘Longshot’ and has written a majority of the screen play as well.  Well, they pulled some major strings and got David Carradine *(Kill Bill) to fly in to be in the movie with Jim. We are filming this weekend and I will be doing still photography so I should have some pics soon. I know that may be small beans to some but for us it’s pretty exciting. I’m excited for Jim and the all the work he has put into this. Then seeing it all work out for him.  It sure does shake up redundancy. I guess this goes hand in hand with our completely unconventional life.

And I want to mention Bridal sessions. I have a love/hate relationship with bridal sessions. I love them because I get to spend another day with my bride getting to know her and do what i like doing best: shooting.  I love that she gets to do a run through of how the dress fits and what needs altered, to get her hair done to see how it will look – in essence, a great run through so that the wedding day is comfortable and preparations are perfect. That’s a plus. Many times we have determined hairstyles aren’t exactly what she had envisioned and the alterations for the dress were quite uncomfortable when in the dress more than 30 minutes. But on the other hand, I get these images and I’m GIDDY to play with them and get them posted but I CAN’T! Because 9 times out of 10 Mr. doesn’t know what she looks like and it’s not my job to blow that for him or her. Especially when brides do some funky, unique and off the wall stuff. I’m just itching to showcase it.  You girls know exactly who I’m talking about! So the photographer in me finds bridals the hardest b/c I am doing cartwheels to show them off!!

 

 I need an assistant. I haven’t been able to update my website in FOREVER!!  I am putting feelers out there for a part time assistant.  I need someone to help me with various tasks on the computer and to help shoot as well. I am going to compile a list of what I need and will post that soon. Examples of what I need without a detailed list:  editing/ website updates/ marketing/ data entry.. shooting at weddings. Send me an email.

Had a fun girls weekend in Myrtle Beach this past weekend.  5 female photographers all got together and did some boudoirs. We stayed in a pretty posh place on the 23rd floor,  that my friends is pretty high UP! That could be my fear of heights talking though.. I just tried not to look out too often. You know you’re in trouble when riding the elevator to your room, your ears start popping. You might be afraid of heights IF…

Ok, anyway.  

We played with light. Did some really cool double exposure type shots that Stacy took, so I don’t have them on here but they are on my facebook page under my tagged photos. Cool stuff. We must be nerds. Self acclaimed.  And since I just got my Nikon they coerced me into just using my Nikon and learning it. And I didn’t do too bad of a job. 

 

And I have a great bridal session I’d love to share but can’t.  I also have a couple engagement sessions and a few more boudoir so I’ll be back. To ramble on and on…….

Until next time

xoxoxo

Natalie - I have always questioned the ability of a normal human being to pull off the body stocking.
