The Platinum Photo Booth- Marketing Shoot by Edgy Photographer Ari Photography

I was lucky enough to be hired by Erin Doran, owner of the Platinum Photo Booth Co. http://www.theplatinumphotobooth.com/ to re-vamp her company marketing by shooting and helping to put together this shoot/event. What an event it was!
So many months getting clothing sponsors, flowers, finding the location (One of my secret spots that apparently and unfortuntley some druggies seem to know about) figuring out hair and makeup stylists et. it all came together in this shoot and I think it came together well!
Thank you to all of our sponsors and especially to Erin for putting such faith in me, I love it when my clients give me the freedom to get creative and trust me completley:)

Ashley & Jared's Engagement Photography..

Just loved this shoot! Here are a few of my favorites engagement photos of Ashley and Jared. My two baby boys and I went off roading a few days before to try to find the perfect location. I'm happy with the feel the location and car gave to the shoot. Ashley is actually a professional car model and following with the bright red theme, Jared is a Firefighter:) They both LOVE cars and funny enough Ashley was excited to see that the car I got for them was a Fire bird- apparently the first car she ever owned and LOVED! Glad we could bring some sentimentality to the engagement shoot beside the obvious love they have for each other. Cant wait to shoot their wedding- this is such an edgy couple! Soooo Ari Photography!!

"Old Hollywood" Couture Boudoir Photography

This situation worked out perfectly. My adorable friend Kyle Lingg a Certified Neuro Reflex Therapist and I were talking the other day while she was giving me a wonderful massage. I told her how I was looking for a claw foot bathtub to do a shoot in as well as a few other secrets I have up my sleeve. She told me her great friend Nancy Pope owned The Whitmore Mansion (www.whitmoremansion.com) and that I just had to contact her! Being new to this area I only knew of the McHenry Mansion and had already learned that they have a great setting that I hope to soon get to work with, but not what I was looking for with these specific shoots I had lingering in my mind.

Walking through the mansion I couldn't help but to think that this would be an awesome place for a Boudior session (as well as the other sessions in mind)! Only days later that I received an email from a client with a love of antiques, she had hoped to do a boudoir session with me! PERFECT! Bam Bam we sorted it out and within 4 days came up with these beautiful shots of this beautiful woman with this beautiful hair in a beautiful location!:) Thank you so much Nancy and Jacque! you guys did an incredible job!

My client could not stop talking about how impressed she was with the mansion and how she envy's those who have their weddings and events there. Book it! Its beautiful! And when Nancy cooks man does it smell incredible!

There were many more photos however these were all I could/should post online. This stuff is between her and her husband!:)

Love the above..this shot is what made me think of the title "Old Hollywood".


The above leg/piano/Whitmore Mansion concept was originally seen (as far as I know) by Bella Boudoir. I had thought that by telling the client to pose in front of the piano we would for sure have a different image afterward, however after going through my photos it still bears resemblance. This was the pose that was natural to her:) Different effects and layout though:) I tried to put my own take and edge into the shot:)

Mayor Maduenos' "High Tea Time" Party; Ovarian Cancer Fundraiser Event Photography

I had the opportunity a Mothers Day Weekend to attend Mayor Virginia Maduenos Tea Party hosted at her home. What a blast. We all had to wear hats,this was an official Tea Party!:)
Erica Hughes, owner of Get Fit Guaranteed www.getfitguaranteed.biz and I went together and had a blast. It was a perfect event for us to go as business owners yet relax and enjoy ourselves as close friends. Beautiful setting, gorgeous flower arrangements, fabulous speakers, delicious lunch and some fun boutique shopping as well! It was pretty special when Virginia named Erica personally as someone who has been instrumental in her life for getting her on the road to a healthy livelihood. I just had to snap a few behind the scenes photos:)


Above.. Aren't the tents beautiful for the setting?

Project Haute Couture: Porcelain Couture

What a great shoot we pulled together in just 3 days! I am still working on the photos now but had to share a few with you what I have completed so far. I named this shoot Porcelain Couture because in many of the photos the bride is portrayed as a porcelain doll. This is one of the many options you have as a bride booking with me, to do a rock the frock session, and if you would like...become a doll! Ari Photography stretches the limits to the typical photography and takes them to a whole new level.
