If you've ever read any of the blog posts from my Studio Set Series... then I'm sure you've seen how your choice of studio set can impact the ENTIRE feel of your session along with the vibe of your final images! Let's break down some of my most popular sets and the influence they have...

If you choose to shoot in my shower set, get ready for photos that feel sensual and even seductive. If the rose petal set is more your style, your images will be super romantic! Or if you go with the kitchen set, your shots will feel more playful or flirty.

You definitely get the idea!

...Now, what if I told you there's a different aesthetic choice you can make that has JUST as much impact as the sets you choose? I bet you'd want to learn more about it!

It's a small but super impactful choice... so we're including it as a post in the "Studio Set Series." Today's post is ALL about the sheet colors you can choose for the bedroom set and how to decide which one to pick!

Before we get started with this blog post, I have two important questions for you... 1. Do you live near Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR? 2. Are you also a mom?

If you answered yes to both questions, then you'll definitely want to read ahead!

This past year, I started capturing portraits of mothers who were tired of being limited by the title of "mom." And if YOU live near the Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR metro areas, then you can also participate in the future! Now, I bet you're wondering what this portrait project is all about...

Even though motherhood is a beautiful journey, and I'm so proud to be a mom... I realized that I (along with SO many other women!) have identities, careers, dreams, and histories that can often get lost underneath the title of "mom." This realization led to the creation of the "More Than a Mom" project!

If you've been familiar with Brittney Corey Photography for quite some time... you might have noticed that I love to work with mothers! (And when I say "you might have noticed," I really should say "I'm SURE you've noticed!")

I feature moms in both the "boudoir" and the "branding" sides of my business, so it's a guarantee that you've seen at least SOME of my work featuring mamas...

Mothers have been a main focus of my photography for SUCH a long time, and today's blog post is no exception! Today, I'll be highlighting a boudoir model session that features an awesome mom. She applied to be a model for one of my "Sweater Weather" sessions, and after learning more about her... I couldn't wait to have her in the studio!

Today's blog post is a VERY special one for me! I love when my boudoir clients start to become "regulars" and join me in the studio more than once. Not only do I get to know more about them as people, but I also get to walk alongside them and be supportive, no matter what they happen to be going through each time they book a session...

Some clients stop in the studio when they're having a hard time working through body image or self-confidence issues. In these moments, I'm honored to hold space for my clients and create an environment where they can learn to see the beauty in themselves. This is one of my favorite parts about being a boudoir photographer.

Other times, clients book a session with me when they're looking to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or even Valentine's Day. It's always fun to celebrate with them!

If I'm lucky enough for my boudoir clients to become "regulars," I see them through a lot of these struggles AND celebrations... Just like the client in today's post!

In short, my approach to business branding photography is pretty relaxed. My goal is to get images that reflect not just what you DO, but also who you ARE… in the most comfortable, low-key way possible! I’m there to document you doing what you already love, not to create and direct a production set.

Show me your passion and I’ll show you some empowering, story-telling images of you doing it!

Take a quick moment to think about the clothes in your wardrobe... Do you have any cozy sweaters sitting in the back of your closet that still have the tags on them? What about a pair of gorgeous pumps that you couldn't pass up... but they're still unworn? Or maybe you ordered lacy lingerie that you haven't found the time to wear yet!

If there's a specific piece of clothing or an accessory that came to mind when reading those questions... then think about bringing that item into the studio for your boudoir session!

A boudoir shoot is a wonderful opportunity to shop around and bring in some fun, new clothing, but it's also a chance for you to look at the pieces you already have and give those items their time to shine. If you need inspiration and aren't quite sure what items of yours would work well in front of the camera... just keep on reading!

For today's post, I'll be highlighting a session where my client and I both had a similar idea... we each brought an item that was previously unused and didn't get the appreciation it deserved.

When it comes to my brand photography clients, I love working with every single one of them! Not only because I have a ton of fun meeting my fellow business owners in the Pacific Northwest... I also enjoy learning more about the products they create, the industry they work in, and the services they offer.

Because of this, it's super enlightening to work with branding clients who have businesses that are completely different from mine... but it's also a cool opportunity to work with clients who create art like I do!

One of these amazing clients is Tattoo 34 in Portland, Oregon. I previously photographed a "Block Party" event that was held by Tattoo 34, and at this event, it was VERY fun to capture the healed tattoos of some of their clients. The focus of that day was on documenting the artwork itself... But in this post, I'm highlighting a brand photography session that I had with Toby Linwood who co-owns Tattoo 34. This shoot allowed me to get a behind-the-scenes look at the process of tattooing from start to finish. (Even though I have my own tattoos, I never took THIS close of a look at the whole process!) I was also able to capture photos of their beautiful studio, and these photos can now be used in their marketing materials.
