Hello Beautiful! It's Tuesday again and you know what that means! Another Topless Tuesday post, another reveal, another week has gone by. This week I am torn between the new studio tour video and my albums. Since I love my studio and I love talking about it and I would love to have you come in for a session, I think I will post about the video today and save the albums for next week ;)
If you are a regular visitor to my Facebook page or my website, you have probably already seen the video I put on the home page. I added it last Thursday before I went to an event so I could show off where I create my photos. While the video isn't perfect and it does run a little long, I am very happy with how it came out. There is definitely an art to video editing and not something I have studied intensely, but for my first go, I am very proud of the outcome. Without further adieu, I give you the FLP studio tour 2014!

Now that you have watched it, let's talk about it! I spent hours searching for the perfect music to accompany this video. Like photographs, music is copyrighted and one cannot simply use any old song they happen to have on a CD, especially not for business use. For licensed music I use Triple Scoop Music. I can search for keywords, artists, song titles, themes, style, mood. So when I went in search of music for my video I searched for fun vocals with the keyword beautiful. I must have listened to at least 10 songs, including the one I ended up with but at the time I wasn't completely sold on it so I changed my keyword to mirror. Again, a list of songs including the one that I ended up with. I still wasn't 100% convinced it was the perfect song but I added it to my favorites. I ended up switching things around, only searching for boudoir specific songs or glamour specific songs, only keywords like beautiful and mirror; I even searched for songs with a keyword of butterfly in keeping with my favorite quote. Besides the butterfly search, would you believe this song came up almost every single time? Finally, I got the hint! I listened to it a few more times and I even had my almost 5-year-old listen to it. The more I listened to the words, the more I liked it and the more I knew it was perfect.
Then the hard part started. Cutting that song down to under 3 minutes and fitting it with the video and still frames I was going to use. From everything I have learned about videos for advertising and promo, they should be right around 2 minutes long...I knew that wasn't going to happen! I loved the song too much and I had too much to show for just 2 minutes long. Some people may check out around 2 minutes but some will keep watching and I love those people!
In the video you will see my awesome stylist, Miss Alaina, doing her thing. You will see my little makeup area and changing "room", the props I use to get different looks and even a little sneak at my budding in-studio wardrobe! I wanted this video to tell a story. I wanted this video to show potential clients what a session feels like in my studio. I wanted every woman who feels like they are just going through the motions of every day to see this and think, I want that. I want to feel pampered and special and find my beauty. It is in there ladies. Our beauty is inside and it is waiting for us to acknowledge it, to let it out, to let it shine. Look at the face in the mirror and say I have always been and will always be BEAUTIFUL! #iambeautiful
This is why I photograph women. I want every woman to see she is beautiful. I want every woman to give herself the gift of finding that beauty that is inside. I repeated this multiple times at the event I recently attended, "She comes in thinking she is getting her man a special gift but she leaves realizing it was she who got the gift instead."
I could go on for hours just beaming about why I do this! I feel like I can't say it enough, you are beautiful! You are worth it! You deserve a day of pampering! Come have fun and see what everyone else sees!
