I've see it over and over, I can't tell you how many times. I always have people come into the studio for a consultation prior to their photo shoot and meet with me and discuss their ideas. During the consultation I go over what we do during a typical session. People are always nervous, they call themselves un-photogenic, ugly and relate how this is going to be a very painful experience for them. I try to relate to them the experience I've seen over and over which is by the end of the session their self confidence and how they see themselves will change after a photography session with me. Here's an image from Patty's recent photography session and a lovely testimonial from her. BTW, this one is straight out of the camera with minimal photoshop! Isn't she beautiful!
Wow! What a transcendent and enlightening experience you gave me. I have to admit I was looking forward to this photo shoot about as much as having teeth pulled. I was telling people I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than have my picture taken. I dragged myself into your studio with no makeup, looking and feeling like a decrepit old battle-ax. But as soon as I walked in the door my mood changed because you're both so warm, friendly, funny and easygoing. I was against having anyone else but me doing my makeup, but you somehow managed to convince me to try it. OMG, what was I thinking? Mei Li transformed me in a way I could never achieve. I want her to come to my house and do my makeup every day! She is amazing in so many ways, sweet and funny and a miracle worker. I was blown away just having my makeup done, but then the photo shoot started. I thought I would be so nervous and stressed that I even brought a little bottle of vodka to try to calm down, and I don't even drink. Luckily I couldn't get the thing open, but I didn't need it anyway. Wayne, you're so entertaining and likable, I felt completely at ease. A totally unexpected adventure. You two are such a perfect team it's captivating to watch how you work together. Mei Li helped with posing and simultaneously checking each photo to interact with Wayne so the pictures turn out perfectly. And they were beautiful, so much more than I'd expected. I want to go back and do it again. I went in there feeling nervous and apprehensive and I left feeling thrilled and ecstatic. Thank you both so much for a life-changing event. I think everyone should try it. It's much more than just a photo shoot. It's a great boost for your self-confidence. I've had my pictures done with other photographers and there's no comparison; you guys are the best. Wayne and Mei Li, you're a fantastic team. -- Patricia Perry
I had the pleasure of working with Thomas and his wife recently. We did some sexy boudoir style photos for them. My fabulous stylist Mei Li Makeup of course gave her the full glamour treatment of hair and makeup. She did such a good job I barely had to photoshop the end photos. This one has very minimal photoshop work done to it. It's funny because during our consultation they didn't think having makeup and hair would be that important and later they thanked me for pushing them to use Mei Li Makeup's services. Tom told me if anyone is hesitant about getting makeup done have them call him directly. Seriously I will give you his phone number if you want to call him. He doesn't mind. Here's some words of testimony straight from Tom.
My wife and I were in las Vegas recently, and decided to do a boudoir photo shoot with Wayne Wallace Photography and Mei Li Makeup. At first my wife was a little reluctant, but Wayne and Mei Li made her so comfortable we ended up spending 3 hours on the shoot. Mei Li did a marvelous job on the make up (a must if you are going to get your photos done here), and they worked so well together it made the whole adventure that much more enjoyable. I just received the discs of over 300 photos Wayne took, and they are amongst the best I have ever seen. You will not be disappointed with a photo shoot at Wayne Wallace Photography. Highly recommended! --Thomas Brennan
Here's a selection from one of our recent Sexy Boudoir Glamour Portrait Photography sessions. We had a great time creating lots of sexy pictures for Michele and she loved them and the whole experience. Here's what she had to say.
"Thank you for one of the best experiences of my life! My self esteem was very low before I did my boudoir shoot for my husband and when I left the studio the day of my shoot, I felt like a million bucks! I had the best time during the photo shoot! I am a mom of 4 and I don't do a lot outside of the home and I must say I am so glad I did the photo shoot. They made me feel so comfortable through the whole experience, it was incredible. I am so impressed by the whole experience from start to finish. I would recommend Wayne Wallace Photography to anyone who wants to deal with a friendly and professional photography studio. My husband thought my pictures were gorgeous! Thank you again for making my self esteem come back to life!
After picking up my prints today I must say, they looked amazing! I am so impressed with Wayne Wallace Photography. My entire experience from start to finish was amazing! After seeing my prints for the first time, I started to tear up because my low self esteem after all these years, it has gone up so much from this whole experience! Thank you! I will recommend Wayne Wallace Photography to everyone I know! - - Michelle
We came out to Vegas for a bachelorette party, and were looking for something to make our trip unique. Wayne had just the thing! We set up a retro pin-up girl photo shoot, and with a little research we came prepared with our props and costumes. We couldn't have done it without Wayne's direction and hilarious comments throughout the shoot. He made us all feel so comfortable, and helped us to "work" the camera. His studio was very accommodating to all of our needs. We all definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun thing to do with their girlfriends! -- Courtney, the Sailor
I came across your blog while looking for a photographer for a bachelorette party in Jan. 2011. I would love to discuss what I want out of a shoot with you!
thanks!!!
