Boudoir Marathon in Sacramento! Sunday, January 23rd

I am so excited to be offering a day of full boudoir sessions on Sunday, January 23rd in Sacramento! The day is open to 6 one hour time slots and will take place at a 4 star hotel downtown (name will be given after you contact me!) - not only that, but there will be a makeup artist on hand, champagne and music! Boudoir photography would make the perfect gift for Valentines Day and trust me when I say that it will also be a gift to you. The session will include professional re-touching that will conceal stretch marks, acne, wrinkles, cellulite, or an extra pound or two. And, as will all of my sessions, you receive the full resolution disk of images with a print release. All for only $350

Q: Can I do outfit changes? A: Yes!! As many as you want to fit into the one hour session, usually 3-4

Q: Will I receive the images in time for Valentines Day? A: Yes, it's guaranteed!

Q: How many images will I usually receive? A: Usually 25-40, in both black and white and color.

Q: Will my images be shared on your website? A: Only if you are comfortable with that. I appreciate you allowing me to share as it helps me with my business, but if you don't want them shared at all, you are welcome to not sign a model release at all. A good option can be a limited model release, where you assist me in selecting the images that you feel comfortable being shown. Ask me about it at the session and we can discuss!

Q: What should I wear? A: It really depends on your style. Email me and I can assist you, as it will depend on each body type and individual.

Q: Can I bring a friend? A: Yes! If you come with a friend, I will take $50 off of each of your sessions. Please make sure that I know ahead of time.

Q: I can't make it to this session, can I book one at a later date? A: Of course, but I cannot honor the special marathon pricing of $350. The normal rate for this session is $550 (which includes the hotel location and makeup artist).

Q: Will you be offering  a boudoir marathon in Southern California? A: If I have enough interest, yes! So, tell your friends. I specialize in the Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles areas.

If you are ready to book or have additional questions on boudoir photography, send me and email to bre@brethurston.com or give me a call at (916) 220-0933. Cheers!

Darlene & Brian's Wedding! {Reno, NV Wedding Photographer}

Darlene and Brian got married on December 18th in Reno, Nevada at the Rancho San Rafael Ranch House. I have never driven through snow...ever...so I made Will come with me and drive since a big storm was moving through Northern California. Luckily for us, the snow levels were super high and we only had to chain up for about 20 miles. It was actually raining once we got into Reno, but we had just enough snow on the ground to give Darlene the "winter wonderland" look that she was hoping for! Since I had to travel from Riverside to Reno for this wedding, I was unable to meet with Darlene in person before her big day. I was so pleasantly surprised at how low key and personable both she and Brian were. I felt right at home and my time with them flew by. Nearly every image from the ceremony includes someone laughing and my favorite part was when Darlene stated, "...for as loooooong as we both shall live" - you know, emphasizing her commitment to a truly LONG marriage!

Thank you Darlene and Brian for allowing me to photograph your gorgeous wedding!

6 Week Old Marcus + Fam! {Temecula Family Portraits}

Can you tell that it was over 80 degrees in these photos? It was! In mid-December! I've grown up in California and this weather surprised even me. I was so glad to have a nice day, especially having a young-kiddo out in the elements. We did the session at a great park in Temecula. Aren't they an adorable little family?? ...this may be my last post before the first of the year since I am on VACATION! Okay, not yet...I have my last wedding of the year tomorrow in Reno (have to drive through a snow storm to get there...wish me luck!) and my last portrait session of the year will be with my favorite clients on Sunday! Then, it's time to enjoy my family and cap the holidays off with a 4 day vacation to Oceanside in my parent's timeshare!

What a wonderful year it has been - see all of you sooooon!
