I wanted to formally announce my latest endeavor, Allure Boudoir Photography – Baltimore and Harford Maryland Boudoir Photography. This is a new brand/sister business that I’m creating with the help of Steph and Nicole that will offer a very fun experience to women, as we are saying, “We capture the allure of the everyday woman”. I’m taking more of a back seat role in this one and focusing more on the behind the scenes stuff. Nicole and Steph will be the more active ones in leading.
Steph has really stepped up and will be the primary photographer for the sessions, her work is fantastic and I’m really glad to see her using a camera again. She has a great eye for details and that is something that will really shine in these sessions. She’s also the main blog writer, she does a great job writing the blog entries for Shawn Grimes Photography so it was a natural extension to have her do the same for Allure. Steph is also a great digital designer so just like SGP, she’ll be lead on designing albums and other digital art pieces.
Nicole is a new addition but one that I’m really excited about having on board and working with. Her role behind the scenes will be marketing, managing appointments, coordinating with the team (make up artist and hair stylist), and other business tasks. During the sessions she’ll be our modeling coach and helping woman get into the poses that look best.
My role is more behind the scenes. I will be ordering samples and prints for customers, editing, and supporting the ladies from a business perspective. I recognize that I’m a man and probably don’t know as much about what woman want from a boudoir session as the Nicole and Steph might so I’m trying to stay out of their way and just be a supporting role.
