The Jannae Couture Collection- Trash The Dress!


Let me explain myself a bit. About 4 years ago I was newly married and watching ALOT of Americas Next Top Model. Hello- such a perfect show for me! Fashion, modeling and photography all in one show!? Sweet! I would watch those girls when they were not in a photo shoot and think, am I really that much different from these "models"? Granted Im not super skinny, I wouldnt say that all of the models on these shows now adays are necessarily ones that catch your eye while walking down the street. Anyhow, It was approaching our first valentines day together and I thought- what would be an awesome present for my new hubby? It was then it hit me- photos of myself looking like a model! Sound conceited? My hub didn't think so and hey they are just for him anyways so what does it matter? I set up a shoot in my living room and used the timer and equipment and had a great shoot! I created a book and he LOVED it!

I've decided that with a few of the secrets up my sleeve, any of my clients can look like modes. Actually this girl is gorgeous- so I didn't do too much to make her look even better, I just shot and edited in a way that brought out the couture and angelic side in her. Which is what I got from her. I just love doing these types of shoots!! Enjoy Jannaes photos..

Double Baby Shoot

You probably recognize these kids as my own! I'm putting together a portfolio of photos to choose from for my Holiday cards which need to go out any day now! Now I just need to get one with the whole family in it and there ya go! I decided to try to use my suckers again, how could I not- can you see how PERFECTLY they match with the graffiti in the background? I'm so excited to use my new card templates that are available to my clients as well!
This is a new location that I discovered, and hope to keep a secret because it just screams "Ari Photography". One defining lesson I've learned this year as my business has grown, is that I have my own niche style of photography that those with an artistic eye can especially appreciate. I look at photography as an artistic expression and enjoy the edgy vibe that it gives off. My photos are meant to be blown up and shown off as art in the home. So if you know of anyone looking for an artistic photographer, not just a "good shot" photographer- refer away!:) You'll be compensated by it with the referral rewards program I have going on right now:)


Love this shot above! You don't always need a smile to make a photo reflect the childs personality. Dakota is very "tricky tricky"- he always has something up his sleeve, like the next big word he is going to use and totally surprise us, at the same time he is an absolute sweetheart. His little smile and big eyes portray that.
