I'm worried that I'll be the one ugly duckling out of the whole shoot. lol Oh stop it, your hair and makeup were flawless. Your FI is going to LOVE the photos, and it won't be remembered as the day you were robbed it will be remembered as the day you gave him some awesome photos of yourself. ;-)

Jessica, we will totally hook up the next time we are in Chicago. I'am actually trying to lock down a date for the next maraton and if it will be in Michigan or Chicago again, might also have some interest in WI as well. so who knows. lol But Jessica just glancing at your photos as they loaded on the computer, yours are going to be kick @$$, there are certain ones that when I was taking them I knew were smokin and I can't wait to edit those. :-)

Consider that your warning girlfriend! ROFL,, Oh I'm so scared... BTW thanks to you, my husband thinks we are having an affair. lol Just so you know ladies, Trish went into my cell phone and went to my facebook account and typed "Loves Trisha" LOL She is such a trouble maker.. lol he he.. I' am actually surprised she knew how to use it.. Hmmm now that I think about it, I wonder if you had help from a certain makeup artist. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by DarcyJAde I had such a GREAT time at the shoot! I felt so comfortable...and WOW with the pictures!!!I'll post some as soon as Trish sends them to me. Thanks again ladies. I can't wait to give them to the FI!! Darcy just as an FYI, because your wedding is just around the corner, you will actually get a package from both Trish and I with your photos. We usually send them as one DVD however we thought it would be faster to send seperately. I'm actually dropping yours off in the mail today.

He said he got one of those suggestions on the right hand side that said Tiffany is a fan of TammyB Photography and you should be too or something like that so he was going to check out your pictures. He let it just go and changed the page but if he doesn't know by now he's crazy! O'well at least he has no idea what they look like or any details. OH, that sucks Tiffany.. BUT with that said, when I finish posting all the girls I'll say that so maybe it will throw him off a little. Besides can't you just come to Chicago to have fun with your super cool photographers and not pose for us? lol LOL Trish I was scanning through my images, to make sure they all loaded and I noticed a test shot I did of you.. LOL I will be posting that one as well. ROFL.. Cause I remember a certain someone took one of me and Maura in January. he he pay backs are h*ll :-) Lova ya chica Quote: Originally Posted by staceysbride Thanks ladies for your condolences (is that even the word I want in this situation?) I'm slowly becoming okay with it. DH and I (we're legally married now, but waiting for the formal ceremony) are working with Visa and the insurance company to replace as much as possible. Some of the software was purchased within 90 days and is thus covered by Visa (as is some other odds and ends that were in the bag yay) and the laptop had it's own insurance so we will get prob 90-95% of it's cost back as well. My bag was a really nice Swiss Army, but was outside the 90 days so we'll have to repurchase it and a bunch of other stuff. Not an expense we really can afford, but being in my last year of med school I have to have my computer and digi cam for work. No way around it. Right now I'm just trying to be okay with the idea that someone took something i worked hard (literally I worked my whole third year at the Apple Store to afford my laptop) to get. I'm often a bit jumpy now when people come up behind me but i try to play it off so I don't explain it to them. Being robbed has led me to have some strange emotions and most people have not been as accepting about the situation as you all. They think it's merely the loss of material possessions that gets to people....but it is much deeper than that. The thought that someone can just come up on you like that and you don't know till it's too late, it messes with you. At any rate...... As for pictures and what I told DH- he did guess like a night or two before. It was when he realized I went for a Brazillian, then these uber hoochie mama shoes (they were smoking though lol) came in the mail, then I suddenly need my hair done that he put two and two together. He was super stoked about it, and really liked the idea that I would do it for him- esp since I've gained 20-25 pounds suddenly in this past month or two (a whole nother issue we're dealing with, but no I'm not expecting) and am not super comfortable with my body right now. He knows they're coming, that they're his wedding present- but he does not know the extent of when and how it'll be presented. After all, a lady has to have SOME secrets I have to say what little I saw of Jessica's shot, you rocked it. I came in right towards the end of yours to use the bathroom- sorry!- but it looked like you were super comfortable in front of the camera and I bet your shots kicked ass. I don't know the name of the person who shot after me, but your images on the window rocked hardcore too. I was definitely envious of you both. I will definitely do this again. I'm already trying to figure out when and where! hahahaha Thank you Trish and Tammy- your old married couple routine was the highlight of the shot. Something about you two and Katie's personalities really puts people at ease. I never thought I'd walk into a room of strangers, drop my clothes and say 'here I am, photograph me' and be cool with it. No lappy means I have to say everything at once because it could be days before I'm back but I'm done with my novel now guys, sorry. It's funny, when ever I do boudoir photos I really want each session to reflect the girl, and it's amazing how each of you bring just a little something extra to make it all your own. Trish and I are totally like an old married couple, lol I love working with her, and we really do have so much fun shooting together.

ROFL Tiffany, you are just as bad as I' am. :-)

Jessica, you were so much fun and a natural in front of the camera. I also enjoyed having your aunt there, she was great. :-) We are working hard to get everyone their pictures as soon as possible and will send out a couple teasers as we go through our editing process. Hang in there, it will totally be worth the wait. :-)

Quote: Originally Posted by tcram Nikki that totally sucks! But now I'm so intreged and interested that your FI was with you. Did he sit in on the session? Did he know what you were doing? Trisha, Tammy, & Katie rocked yesterday! I am so excited to see my pictures, I can't believe how nervous I was going into it and then how comfortable I felt after like 5 minutes! I think Nikki was going to surprise her FI, however he guessed what she was doing and like me, she can't lie very well :-) So she told him he was right. He took her to the room, but wasn't at the session, we don't allow men during our sessions. 1. because we have other women there as well and 2. Cause even though the guys know about it, they still have to wait to see the photos. :-) Tiffany we hear that at every shoot, and seriously in a matter of minutes they are usually no longer running into the bathroom to change their outfits. :-) Plus I think it helps that Trish and I act like an old married couple. lol I mean she is the only other person I have slept with since I have been married. lol

Hi Maya, congrats on your engagement and welcome to the forum. We have many photographers on the forum, I' am sure you'll find one that will meet your style and budget. Happy planning and it's always great to see other Michigan members on here. ;-)

I've been emailing and calling and it seems like it was just be much more convenient if it were all in one place. We have several photographers on the forum, however it is against the vendor rules to post to your thread on their rates and such. I might suggest that you just search the vendors on the forum and them PM them for a quote. Good luck and happy planning.

Welcome to the forum Stacy, and congrats on your fast approaching wedding.

Quote: Originally Posted by staceysbride It actually turned out to be a bad day for us. We were robbed literally 5 mins after leaving the hotel. DH had the rolling suitcase and he'd put my laptop bag on top like hanging by the carry strap suitcases have. We got to the intersection of Congress and Plymouth (one block up from Dearborn going towards State and Michigan) and they unhooked our bag and ran as we were waiting at the light. A cabby honked and yelled but the person got away. Right there in broad F*********** daylight, no one tried to stop him or anything. So I lost my laptop, my digi cam, just a ton of stuff. Software on the laptop, pics...you get the idea. Prob 5-6k worth of stuff if you tally the bag, lappy, accessories, software installed, etc. Called the cops (had to come back to the hotel lobby to get the PD number) and walked back to the area so that we could give accurate info, but had no pen and paper on me to write down the incident number. Now the PD has no record of it. And the cops are making us seem like WE did something wrong. It's just been a nightmare. I seriously just want to cry. I mean, yeah, the person didn't try to mug us, and we have our health and each other still; but I still feel very violated....I can't describe it. I keep thinking of everything we could have done different.... OMG, that is horrible. I' am so sorry. I for once I'm at a loss for words. I guess the bright side is that you guys were unharmed so that's a good thing. Ladies, I had a blast hanging out with each and everyone of you, you each had a little soemthing that made your shoots stand apart from the others, and that's awesome from a photographers stand point. I loved working with you, and just scrolling through the photos on the train ride home, you girls were smoking hot and I know your men are going to love them. Katie did an amazing job on everones make up, and Trish and I love each other like sisters, we have a great working relationship. :-) (love ya girl) I will hopefully start edting tomorrow, I know there are several of you getting married on or before November, so Trish and I will do our best to get your photos out to you as soon as possible.
