PicturesbyTracy Dayton, Ohio: Kind Words

Good morning ladies,

I know you hear this from all of your clients..but WOW, what a fun experience yesterday was! Who knew a random Tuesday afternoon could be so much fun!!?? I kept thinking about it all evening..and the make up..hair, and working with you Tracy on the photos was just so much fun! Even if I never saw the photos..the whole PROCESS leading up to the photos is amazing...

I just wanted to say thanks..I am so glad I decided to "google" boudoir photography in Dayton last summer and found both of you. :-) You are both awesome and it was fun chit chatting with you. As you both know, sometimes women spend so much time taking care of everyone else, whether is is family obligations or at work, and it is so REFRESHING to go ahead and treat yourself now and then..I really needed it. On a side note, I know my husband will like the pics too. :-)

Thanks again!
Warmly,
Kristi :-)

Kristi wanted to do something a little more conservative & sweet, which is totally OK with us! Her pictures turned out amazing no thanks to Michelle Richardson ROCKIN the make-up and Kristi being her adorable fun loving self! I guess I didn't do too bad either...not to toot my own horn;) I had a great team to work with.

PinMeUpCouture: New Project

So I have a little secret.......

The last few months I have been working on a new project. Once again I have joined up with Michelle of A Vogue Idea and we have come up with a fabulous new line of fun, flirty, and oh so sexy headpieces and bridal veils. We have worked hard into the night to research, sew, and create unique looks that are modern and fun. Anyone who knows me knows that I love taking unique little pieces and adding my special touch to them. The pieces that we have created are a mix of the modern bride with a slight twist on all things retro and vintage.

I had the pleasure of photographing two amazing girls on Saturday wearing these new creations. They rocked these looks and it was so much fun to see all the hard work come to life. I hope everyone will have as much fun looking and wearing these as we did creating them.

Thanks to everyone who has been involved in making this happen and a special thanks to the future runway models Stacey & Alice. Also a huge thanks to my friend Michelle, it has been so much fun working on this project with you & getting to know you better. We make a good team!

I will post the link to our ETSY store very soon. Also we will have a website in the near future. I would love for you to spread the word and check our store often:)

OK guys....drum roll please! {I'm so nervous yet excited to share this with you all} I hope you like....










































I would love to hear your comments! ~Tracy

KISS Album: PicturesbyTracy

Warning this is a sexy post.....

/
I just ordered my first KISS album and I'm so completely impressed & in LOVE with this album . The quality of this flush mount album is amazing, the leather is totally yummy, the cloth cover is so pretty, customer service OUTSTANDING, turn around time- OUTSTANDING...OK I could go on and on all night.

My first Blush Boudoir studio album....

KISS choices: 12x12, 10x10, and 8x8

Six Colors, no fancy stuff- this album is clean and simple which I love!

I have found my new flush mount album vendor! I'm going to start working on a sample 12x12 wedding and engagement KISS album just as soon as my crazy wedding season slows down.

Note to all my photog friends-- you need to order from this company CHOP-CHOP! I really cannot say enough about how great they are to work with. The best it was so simple to order and the turn around time was only about two weeks.

Note to all my brides-- if your interested in a Kiss book just shoot me an email for pricing & more info. Hugs ~Tracy
