It’s Your Time ! You are fearfully & wonderfully made, Love yourself again.

I’ve Got

You Covered Everything you need to know about your session.


HI!

I am Liberty Edwards, owner of Liberty Edwards Photographer {formerly called XOXO Boudoir Photography, LLC}. When I became a wife and mother I got so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life that I forgot to take time to see my beauty, my own confidence and myself. I created my photography business to help women rediscover their sexy underneath the daily grind. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made by God, perfect the way we are, but we are shown everyday HIGHLY photo shopped images and given a distorted picture in our minds of what we “should” look like, I am here saying “ WE ARE ALL AS BEAUTIFUL AS THAT CELEBRITY, AND IT’S TIME WE KNOW IT!” We deserve to be pampered and see ourselves as the beautiful amazing women we are. I cannot wait to meet you!

“ WE ARE ALL AS BEAUTIFUL AS THAT CELEBRITY, AND IT’S TIME WE KNOW IT!”

Tips & Tricks Extra tips and tricks to make sure you relax & enjoy your day to the fullest!





Glamour Simply Gorgeous When I think of glamour to be honest the very first thing that comes to mind is the glamour shots I did when I was fifteen! That was a far cry from what I actually do now with glamour. Back then it was big big big hair and feather boas! Elbow gloves almost always made a showing as well as pearls and red lipstick. If you really want to know what I am talking about, you can see a photo from when April (my best friend and sometimes concierge) and I had them

done. I like to keep this fun image from my past in the makeup as a reminder of how far we have come!

F

or me now, glamour is a state of being. Sexy, confident and beautiful, those are things I will coach out of you to make these images turn heads and change your mind about how amazing you can look. I still love to use pearls, heels, and scarves as well as other accessories, just in

a more high fashion way. Come to think of it, you will have bigger hair than normal and darker makeup to make it more like a true magazine shoot but rest assured in all the photos below this was the case and no one looks even a bit “clowny�! Make sure for this type of shoot you bring in clothes that make you feel great. Jeans, a dress, a flirty blouse, these all make glamour photos simply gorgeous! n




Boudoir Something a Little tasteful and comfortable way so it comes across in More Sexy your photo that you felt nat-

M

any people have this idea that boudoir photos are “those naked photos” and that just isn’t true at all. As defined, Boudoir {boo - dwaa} photography creates sensual or sexually suggestive photos. So basically this means that I will work with you to show a sexier maybe more sultry side of you. I do this in a very

ural doing this. For me, less does not mean more. While I do shoot nudity, it is merely implied in the photographs, and while many of even my most shy clients have opted for a few “topless” photos, it isn’t something that everyone wants, it has to feel right. These photos are so much fun and can be tailored to fit your guy’s personality, or yours if you are doing this as a memento for your future self. While the clothes may show more of your skin then

you are used to, I like to focus on the beauty and details that make you so gorgeous like beautiful eyes or lips. Awesome things to wear for these shoots are super high heels, corsets, and little vintage nighties. I love accessories with this too! I mean have you ever looked in maybe a Maxim magazine and saw a girl blinged out with jewels but wearing a bra and panty? That’s what we are doing with boudoir, putting you smack dab in the middle of your guys Maxim brain. n



“When I saw that photo it brought a lot of different emotions. . . It was the first time in a long time I looked at myself and saw a strong beautiful woman who has overcome so much in 8 months. I hope that other women who have gone through pains of having self esteem knocked down find the strength to remember to love yourself the most of all because thats most important at the end of the day� - Kate on seeing this photo for the first time.

Couples My Take On Couples Studio Shoots

T

here is nothing more beautiful to me than the love that two people share. {It’s the biggest reason I shoot weddings, that and of course the GORGEOUS gowns.} There’s a connection, an understanding, and a beauty that couples bring to set that I am loving. Whether you want your photos to be glamorous (see photo left and below) or steamy with an art edge (see photos right) I will work with you to create memorable pieces of art for you to hold on to forever. Feel free to ask more about this if you want to know more. n

he day of your shoot will be unicorns and rainbows! Ha ha, more like butterflies and nervous giggles. Trust me, I know you will be anxious, and it’s normal! Its mainly because

you don’t know what will happen, so let me try to give you a smallish run down on how the day will go, from start to finish. Remember, although you may have never done this before, I have, and thrive at this and will do my AB-

hen you arrive at the studio (no makeup on please!) I will show you the sets as we head back to the hair and makeup room. There you will meet a hair and makeup rock star that will collaborate with you for your perfect look. While relaxing I will talk with you about your outfit choices, and the overall feeling you want your photos to have. When you are finished with H&M we will decide on your first look (we start with whatever you are most comfortable in) and head out to the sets. I will direct everything about the shoot, what pose I would like you to do (I will demonstrate most likely) how to smize your eyes, and where to put your hands. Don’t worry if you nervous, after the first two poses you will feel like a natural. At the end of the photo shoot you will actually be sad it’s over you have had so much fun! Next, you will head out for about an hour to have lunch or a coffee at one of the local eateries while I sort through all the images and choose the VERY best ones! When you



come back into the studio I will show you your gorgeousness in a private premiere. I will talk with you and help you decide what will best show off the images, and you can order whatever you want from the product menu! What comes next is some serious behind the scenes fun with elves and pixies and poof, you have an awesome album or wall portrait to show off. Ha ha, not really, but here is a pretty good account of what will happen when you place an order. I will go through each and every photograph you have chosen and look at it close-

ly. Skin will be softened, eyes may be brightened, and stretch marks, bruises and blemishes will be removed as best as possible. Next if you order prints, or a small album they will be ordered. If you ordered a bigger album, they will be designed and sent to you for approval. Once approved it will be ordered. Then everything will be wrapped in pretty pink bows and delivered. The day of your shoot will take about 4 hours to complete, and the after party (editing, designing etc.) can take from 3 to 6 weeks) n
