Father’s day magic

 

Father’s Day is certainly one of the most special yearly celebrations and one that looks uniquely different in every family. A celebration of the man who first tought us to dream, to think big, and to persevere is bound to be unique and, of course, it goes far beyond a gift of a “world’s best dad” mug. So what do we gift such a special man in our life?! Aside from the mug (we probably already gave him one), special moments and experiences are probably our favorite type of gift. Afterall, it is time spent together that matters the most, and it is the time that is oh so fleeting as we grow up and get busy. And capturing these moments on camera goes without saying – trust us, if you have a camera or even a phone camera, make sure to grab it along on your next trip or day out with your father! Capturing this time together will make for a beautiful reminder and will preserve its magic for years to come. But, if in doubt or would like to commit to the photography idea fully, come to our studio for a special family session together.

Recently, we had a wonderful father and daughter session at the studio. Mr J and his beautiful little daughter M have instantly captured our hearts and the camera. Every capture just reminds us how important the time we spend with out fathers is, and makes us all the more excited for the father’s day to come this weekend!

 

What if?! Or how to stop worrying and embrace boudoir!

 

So, after giving it some thought, listing a few pros and cons, and looking through several portfolios you have decided to take that leap and get your very own boudoir session! But, what happens next? The stream of doubts and “what if” questions are bound to poke their head in before you book… “What if photos don’t turn out according to my vision?” “What if my poses look awkward and silly?” “What if it turns out looking vulgar?” “What if I don’t look in shape I would like to be in?” “What if I don’t achieve my fitness goal in time for the session?” “What if my imperfections become very visible in photos?” And many many more thoughts can surface, making it all the harder to make the decision. It is all perfectly understandable – boudoir can seem intimidating even for the bravest of women. Afterall, camera may seem to be a capricious creature – one day you look great in photos and, the other, it makes you look completely unphotogenic. This is why, we have learnt over the years that there is nothing more important than a team with a good vision and experience to make your photography dreams a reality, so that you may turn your worry into excitement and leave the technicalities to your photographer!  This is also why we take extra time and patience in finding only the best professionals to work in Kissed By Light Studio. They understand makeup, lighting, angles, and bring out your favourite features! And, for all the rest, we have a team of some of the best retouchers in the industry who can make any imperfection less obvious or go away altogether!

One of our gorgeous muses, Miss E, has embraced boudoir and, needless to say, completely blew us away! Her photos turned out to be effortlessly chic and irresistibly charming. With a few outfit changes and a series of our favorite set ups, together, we created something marvellous and timeless. We hope that you enjoy this session as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Sunkissed morning

 

 

Of course, in light of recent weeks, there is a lot on our minds… But even the recent adversity can’t stop us from getting excited for the warm months ahead! It is just the time to revisit old plans, find new inspirations, and greet this summer with a new outlook! And what better way to step forward than to celebrate some of our favorite moments from the past. In our case, it often involves rediscovering beautiful photo series done over the course of years of studio’s work. Some of our very first boudoir set ups, elegant bridal sessions, and glamorous creatives have fallen into the depths of our blog, so we decided to revisit some of our favorites, sharing them with you here once more!

We recently found this gorgeous boudoir session in our archive. Set in our previous photo studio location, it is effortlessly romantic, featuring our marvellous muse Miss L. It is one of those photo sessions, when the natural light was absolutely prefect – it lit up the set ups in the most beautiful way. We are very excited to share this photo series with you and hope that you enjoy looking back at it with us!

Mother’s day

 

Mother’s Day is, perhaps, every day, but it doesn’t make this holiday all the less special! This celebration of mother’s unconditional love, beauty, and strength in the first warm days of spring holds a special place in our heart and reminds us just how important it is to show appreciation to the most important woman in our life. Be it fresh flowers, a special gift or even just a warm, thoughtful note, there can be many ways to show your love on Mother’s Day. And when a family comes to us to celebrate her day with a family photo session, we absolutely enjoy making this day all the more special. Life can often be full of changes, making the moments of unity all the more rare as time passes by and children grow up, which is why capturing a beautiful family photo is a job that our studio takes seriously. Family portraits let you always take your family with you wherever you go, even if its just in the form of photos.

Recently, we had a pleasure of working on creating a beautiful family portrait for Miss E and her wonderful two girls. They have brought some wonderful matching looks for the session, and we went for a few different set ups: a couple of our favorite backgrounds, each full of light and warmth, as well as a classic, formal background. Perfect muses, the ladies absolutely shined in the photos, making each one of them bright and full of love! We are very excited to show you the results!

 

Addition to the family

 

Over the years, Kissed By Light studio has built a team of some of the best professionals in the field, each bringing their talents, expertise, and creative input. Every member of our team, including photographers, assistants, makeup artists, and editors, is absolutely crucial to creation of Kissed By Light magic and making each of our sessions special. And, very quickly, we became a family that not only works together, but also does creative projects together, experiments, grows, and shares some of their personal celebrations with each other! Needless to say, we also do a lot of photos for each other!

One such milestone we celebrated recently with our amazing makeup artists Angelina! You may have met her before at our studio, likely as she worked meticulously on creating a stunning makeup look ahead of a photography session. A member of our Kissed By Light family for many years now, she is an important member of our team. And, recently, we had the pleasure of celebrating a special milestone in her life as she was expecting a new addition to her family! This maternity session, featuring makeup by Angelina herself, was full of wonderful, airy set ups and classic maternity looks! We hope that you enjoy a little peak into Angelina’s lovely pregnancy photo series!
