I had a very secret rendezvous recently… Mrs. C and I planned this surprise shoot as a Christmas gift for her husband, and I just heard from her today letting me know that he was beyond thrilled! And even better, Mrs. C mentioned how good she felt during the shoot and how she loves the pictures and feels amazing! Now that is what’s deeply fulfilling to me… giving women the gift of feeling good about themselves.
It all started in The Biltmore Hotel lobby with la belle femme…



Did someone ring for Maid Service?



My #1 absolute favorite photo set-up: a hotel bed, white sheets, big window, and nothing but nakedness…




I love this shot… it reminds me of being a girl, being in love, and being in Paris. Mrs. C is wearing the La Perla lingerie that her husband gave her on their honeymoon about 8 years earlier, and I asked her to think back to the first time she had it on…

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ll be shooting lots and lots of beautiful women coming up…
But you don’t need a holiday to give your man or yourself the amazing gift of feeling good and feeling sexy :) It just takes a simple decision to be that way.
Wishing you lots of moments overflowing with feeling good!
xoxo,
Christa
ps. You can see more of Mrs. C in the post “Private Dancer.”













Seriously, you are so good!
wow… amazing pictures!
what a great style!
you can see a pro at work here
Fantastic – I love how you capture the moment. Each pic tells a fantastic story… makes you want to keep looking and never stop
I really love your photography. I should get you to shoot Julie-Anne. You remember her? She photographs really well.
seriously, you are amazing!
I am looking forward to learn how you make every picture an adventure to look at your workshop in 2 wks.
you don’t take pictures – you create magic moments!
Wonderful photos….the last image is one of my favorites.
So gorgeous! It *ALMOST* tempts me to think I could do this, but then I wake up! it’s awesome to see the other brave beautiful women who you shoot though! Awesome awesome work!
I’ve been wondering how these turned out since you mentioned you had taken them, wow great job. I can see why Mrs C is so happy with the results. Using your approach to catching a monement with feelings is helping me with my ideas and shots I take for friends. They end up so much more interesting and show a real emotion. I can’t make your upcoming workshop but hope to next time.
I was a little worried, that you were too busy to post, and forgot about your blog completely. But you come back with flair. Another lovely set of memories. My favorites from this set are #3 and #9. Really really good stuff. Wow.
Christa is a true artist. She has the ability to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. I had so much fun and truly feel fabulous at forty! I was so nervous going in but the day was one of the most fun I can remember. I am beyond pleased with the results. Everyone should go for it!
Thanks for sharing your images, your stories and your talent with us. You not only wow your customers, but you even clearly have a photog following! Well done!
What words can i say that have not been said here already? Exquisitely Tantalizing! My opinion of this shoot! Bravo Christa!
