Master Boudoir Sneak Peek!

 

Master 2 064 

My wonderful, loving, & ohh so cute hubby,

surprised me this past weekend with a private lesson in photography,

with Patrick.

Mr. T even bought me some professional lighting.  Love, love him.

He supports everything I do.

Anyhoo, to make a long session short, I finally am able to shoot in Manual Mode, and OMGOSH!!!

The possibilities are endless!!!

It made me realize how much more there is to learn about my  camera!

So….

Master 2 025 

This girl is going back to school.   I have enrolled in a

digital photography class this fall at a local college.  I will start from there and see where it goes…

My girlfriend Jennifer is going to be my partner in crime…

Master 2 070

I love  my collection of vintage bibles, books and

luggage!   The stories they must have!

Master 1 179

 All these photos are of a sneak peek into our Boudoir.

They are all shot in Manuel Mode.

It makes a huge difference and it is so much fun to photograph this way.

As I go through my class

I will share all the tips I learn with you.

Can’t wait …

Master 2 052

You can create your own formulas on Manuel Mode.

Master 2 076

The more you learn, the more you want to know. 

I have mentioned before I would go to school forever. I love to learn. Its fun.

I am a Interior Designer (CLSB) ,  I graduated from Culinary school

and now more than ever, can’t wait to learn more about photography.

Master 2 047

 

Master 1 062

This is my favorite chair! It

was a gift from my girlfriend 4 years ago.

I will never get rid of it!

Master 1 077

I re-upholstered it and wa la!!

Master 2 033

 I love anything monogrammed!

Master 1 035

Shutter and pillow from here.

I have a pair of these shutters and tons of ideas.

Master 1 024

I pulled the vintage, etched mirror out and added 

vintage French books.  I just love looking at them.

master 5 002

I have  a few things to do in this room.

But, I have finally found my dream bed!

She will be here soon. Lol…

Master 4 004

 

master 5 048

 I am working a lot this week and hope to visit everyone!

Sorry for being so absent.

Master Boudoir to be continued…

Have a beautiful day friends!

Always,

  4. What fun!

    My daughters did a similiar thing to your blue shuttered door and displayed all their Christmas cards on it.

    Are you getting a new school outfit, too? :)

  5. Hi LuLu,
    How exciting to be learning something more in life!! I think your photography is pretty fabulous already but I know there are a million different options on digital cameras. I just got a new one for Christmas and I'm completely lost! Your photos above are just gorgeous and I can't wait to see more of your bedroom. You are so inspirational with your style.
    Have a great week.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda

  6. your touches of history, and nostalgia are an instant connection with you - and how you showcase your things as art is truly artistic! and not at all crafty!
    so, basically, you could host a fantastic dinner while I tour your home and get decorating tips?

    people would pay to do that with you LuLu....for real
    xo+blessings,

  12. I have no idea what you're talking about 'manual mode', but I don't have a fancy dancy camera! I am so impressed by all you've done...Interior Designer, Culinary Arts, and now photographer (for the beautiful Rachel Ashwell).

  14. I LOOOOVE your white suitcases!! I have a major "thang" for vintage suitcases!! Like you I wonder where they've been and what stories they could tell :)) I love anything with a history behind it. Everything is gorgeous!! The vintage bibles and books, the shutters, the armoire, the mirrors, the chair, the pillow!!! Love it all!!

    I for one am looking forward to you sharing what you learn in your photography class. I am pretty new to this blog stuff (not to mention need for photography skills!!) If you have any hints or tips that would help a newcomer, I sure would appreciate it!! Your photography is just amazing!!
    I've added you to my sidebar on my blog and if I am not already following you, I will be your newest follower :))

  23. Your photos look great. I'm looking forward to learning vicariously through you. In the meantime, you have inspired me to pull out the manual and read it. Your dream headboard wouldn't happen to be a tufted upholstered gilded French piece, would it? Still looking for one... Have a good day!

  36. You have such a pretty boudoir & your photography is incredible. I love your use of the wood shutters with the pages on them propped againest the wall & your curtains/panels (I never know what to call 'em.) That is great that you have enrolled in a class! I would love to do that too, but I need to buy a better camera first.. hee hee! ;) Have a nice day!
