GIRLS' NIGHT OUT

What a great idea for you and your girl friends to do.A little wine & cheese, fruit dish or sushi and 5 - 8 of your best gal friends and a photo shoot with us. It was a lot of fun for these enthusiastic women who are mainly friends from the soccer club.They get together once a month when each one of them takes a turn to plan the event and it was Jaylene's turn this time.(Sorry to the other two friends that were missing this night)

Jaylene( girl in black in the center!) is one of the owners of CHINOOK YOGA who came out to our Spring has Sprung event a couple weeks ago.

Senior Portraits and Graduation Memories Captured by Philomena Hughes Photography

Most of us can remember the joy and excitement of our senior year of high school or college in vivid detail as the looming graduation ceremony takes us that much closer to the person we aspire to be. Even with all of those memories in the back of our minds, it’s always nice to have the photographs to look back on and remember that young and excited version of ourselves as the years go by.

Then again, on a less serious note, getting your senior portraits done is just plain fun! You get to pose in your favorite outfits, maybe even taking the opportunity to show off your interests in a few shots. Then at the end of it all, you get to show them off and exchange with your friends.

At Philomena Hughes Photography, we can tailor your senior portrait session to suit your personal and unique style. During our consultation we can help plan the entire day; whether you prefer a studio session or a special location outdoors, your photo session will be custom designed to create gorgeous lasting memories.

At Philomena Hughes Photography, we ask that you book your consultation 2-4 weeks prior to your session, so that you can relax and have fun on the day that the photos are taken. Everything will be planned out in detail – all you need to do is sit back and allow us to capture the moment.

Senior year and college graduations symbolize a time of joy and growth, and we can honestly say that there is no other time in life that will be celebrated quite like these moments. Philomena Hughes Photography can ensure that the shots you walk away with will have you feeling great about yourself and eager to show them off!

Boudoir Photos: The Perfect Surprise For Your Groom

Most people recognize June as the most popular month to get married, and while this cold weather may be doing its best to disguise it, that’s really not too far away! So if you’re one of those lucky brides-to-be, chances are that wedding bells are constantly on your mind as you try to sew up every last detail.

Why not take this time to step back and remind yourself what this wedding is all about; you, your husband-to-be and the love that you two share. If you’re searching for the perfect way to express your love and let him know that you’re all his, I think I have just the solution.

Boudoir photos are becoming an increasingly popular wedding gift from a bride to her groom. Wonder why? Just take a few seconds and imagine your man taking a peek at your beautiful, sensual photograph for the first time, saying “Wow! That’s going to be my wife!” Just thinking about it feels good, doesn’t it?

Trust me, I know how nerve-wrecking it can be to imagine getting into your most intimate apparel and posing in front of a camera, but when you put your inhibitions aside, you open yourself up to a whole world of self-confidence and sexiness.

If you’re nerves get the best of you, a little research may be able help. Before your appointment, browse around the boudoir gallery on this site or search the web for some ideas on a few poses you may be interested in trying out. Seeing for yourself that you’re not the first one to take sensual photographs may be just the little push that you need.

Additionally, you know your body better than anyone else ever could; therefore, you know which outfits are going to give you that extra va-va-voom and which angles are going to highlight your greatest features. These facts are at the core of what is going to make you shine during your photoshoot, so just focus on being your natural, beautiful self! Your man won’t be able to pick his jaw up off the floor!
