Valentine’s Day Vixens – Striking it HOT!

Stacy Borelli — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:57:16 +0000

Some came for their boyfriends. Two came for their fiance’s one of which is deployed in Iraq. A couple came for a treat for themselves celebrating a special time in their lives. As a boudoir photographer in Raleigh, shooting a specialized brand what I’ve called Vintage Vixens, I realize the value of what I do as a photographic artist, how I’m impacting their lives and more importantly, what these clients do for me.

I had put a shout out in early January seeking my new Vixens to be and I had a nice handful of girls step forward. I love their stories, where they come from, & why they’re doing it. The reasons are great and different. However they all have one thing in common, nerves! I tell all of them that once Margo/Belloviso does her magic they’ll feel differently and the nerves are typically quelled within the first five minutes of shooting.

So below you’ll see Suzi, whose fiance is currently serving our country in Iraq. You’ll meet Tammy, whom you may remember from several months ago. She came back now the second time around to surprise her fiance for Valentine’s Day. There’s also Meagan & Shelly, young friends whom came together to surprise their boyfriends for Valentine’s Day. Saucy and vintage inspired Lisa an older vixen and absolutely gorgeous in her own right, just doing it for herself. And last, but not least, Mandy, a professed plus-size girl who is turning 30 and has a list of things she wants to accomplish and being a vixen was one of them!

I celebrate all of them for all of their own reasons. These boudoir sessions are always so special to me. I love the stories of the women that come before me, the reward is what I do for them and their significant others. I have a feeling I’ll be shooting Vintage Vixens for a long time!

Carolina Inn Bridal Show – Calling all Brides-to-Be!

Stacy Borelli — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 02:43:41 +0000

What an opportunity for those newly engaged, about to be engaged, or those just dragging their feet about setting their date and getting those wedding plans nailed down. The Carolina Inn Bridal Show coming up on January 30th, 2011 from 1-4PM, promises to not disappoint.

The Chapel Hill and UNC landmark, is proudly listed on National Register of Historic Places and is AAA Four Diamond rated. What I can tell you is that in the central North Carolina, it is one of the premier locations to play host to a wedding and it has been this way for decades. It draws on the many Tar Heels fans as it is steeped in tradition. The service and food are impeccable and when it comes to events and weddings at the Carolina Inn, it appears as seamless and effortless.

Having shot a multitude of weddings there over the course of my six year wedding photography career, it was particularly an honor this year when I was invited…….albeit finally, to be a part of their annual wedding tradition; their exclusive bridal show. I have to admit that the unknown is weighing heavily on me. Having never been to one of their shows has me wondering what it’s going to be like. A little different I suppose from the sheer numbers and size of Forever Bridal\’sJanuary production, The Wedding Show.

And so it goes. I’ve got albums I’m preparing. Marketing materials designed and ordered, yet the most challenging aspect of doing a show is catching the brides’ eyes and keeping her there for awhile. It’s been tough this past year trying to figure out what the brides are in the market for, their budgets, and then pleading my case on experience and my art and how invaluable it is! My take: you get one chance to do it right and while price does not always determine quality, it does determine someone that understands business and the numbers. The art draws a potential client in. The personality match keeps that client there for longevity.

I’ve got 20 tickets left to this exclusive affair from 1-4PM at the Carolina Inn, January 30th. They’re going for the $15 each. Want them as a gift from Swank Photo Studio? Go to my Facebook page and “LIKE” me, Swank Photo Studio & also Raleigh Boudoir Photography and then comment on my walls. I’ll be sure to “LIKE” you back.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Raleigh Boudoir Photographer – Announces Valentine’s Day promo!

Stacy Borelli — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 01:52:47 +0000

It’s about the time of year again, where the love flows and the fun happens. Playing dress up is incredibly fun for you and a most surprising treat for him. As a leading Raleigh boudoir photographer I can assure you that the decision to do some sexy pics is not always an easy one, but the transformation from your everyday look to total glam girl will have you feeling differently about yourself and about the decision to move forward with the session.

Boudoir photography is the perfect way to surprise him whether it be for Valentine’s Day(see our promo below), his birthday, anniversary, or just for yourself, it’s a treat! The really fun thing about Vintage Vixens is our own special play on what we like to call old Hollywood soul photography. We’re not talking your average day pin up photography. Instead we specialize in portraiture with the look and feel of those glamorous Hollywood pictures; YOU as fine art!

Everyone is in the same boat. As women we’re all quick to point out our flaws and focus only on them. We all have them and need to get over them fast. No one is perfect and everyone who enters my studio on portrait day is nervous. Common denominator: what they soon learn is that it’s just fun girl time. That first hour and a half spent with us, getting your hair and makeup done is sure to put you at ease.

We look forward to having you in studio this Valentine’s Day season. Please check out our fantastic promo below.

$595 includes your hair&makeup, honeybook with 5 pictures, and a disc of your pics, WHOA! This is a first for us. A super fun perk for having a session with us. Looking forward to having you. NOW BOOKING!

In glamour,

Stacy

Raleigh Boudoir Photographer – Speaking at WPS Convention

Stacy Borelli — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:48:47 +0000

I am delighted to be announcing that I will be a keynote speaker at theWPS Convention to be held here in Durham at Hilton/Mansion on the Hill in late June!

The O5(short for Oxygen5) as we’re called, are breathing new life to the photography industry by coming together in camaraderie to help elevate, educate, and inspire our industry. Our belief is that we do not have to be so cut throat and competitive with one another. That we can truly all come together in photographic harmony and peace and share all that we go through as photographers.

My speaking topic is Boudoir – Shooting the 1/2 Nakeds Fundamentally speaking, this will broach on the subject of establishing connectivity with your clients so they are relaxed and comfortable during their session. The seminar will also in partly discuss comfortable posing for your clients. Please visit the Vintage Vixens section of this blog to see samples of my work.

On day two- I will be leading interactive lens lessons. Bring your camera. We will have a hotel suite where I will work with a live client during a boudoir session. This is Q&A time and practice and shoot time.

I also have two openings left for mentoring you and the fun thing about it is that 100% of it will go to the charity – Give Kids the World. Mentoring sessions are $30 for 1/2 hour.

Get on board! The WPS is a limited and intimate convention. We’re capping out at 100 attendees! Please follow this link to register – WPS Convention

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Cupcakes & Kasey – Smithfield, NC (The Studio)

Stacy Borelli — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:25:09 +0000

Well I can’t divulge the full information regarding our recent Vintage Vixens session, but I can tell you that the editorial piece is what I am so excited about!

Kasey is a burst of fresh California air. She trotted into my studio with a large suitcase and a pan of oversized cupcakes raring to go for our shoot.

The session to be one of my full sessions included all of the bells and whistles, including gorgeous glam jewelry donated by no other than Bailey\’s Fine Jewelry of Raleigh, Cameron Village. The hair and makeup of course by my wonderful artist extraordinaire, Margo of Belloviso left us with some amazing looks. Beverly Hills chic pulled back ponytail, to Old Hollywood glam, to cute girl next door with cupcakes. It was a session chock full of sweetness all the way around, cupcakes included!

Calling All Vixens! Calling All Skinny Jeans!

AKA Adria

Stacy Borelli — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:03:42 +0000

And I use the AKA because this girl can morph into several different Hollywood celebs in the click of my shutter. I realized during and post session that Adria had looks reminiscent of Mariah Carey, Jessica Biel, and Diane Lane. To sum it up, she’s gorgeous and really gave great face during our session!
