As some of you long-time readers may remember, when I wanted to get my start in Boudoir Photography, I decided to have a contest on a local wedding message board called FrugalBride.com
I had a competition and asked everyone who entered for a free boudoir session (including hair and make-up by Tania Beattie from Brides Etc.) to send me their story of why they should be the one to win the free session. Well, I couldn’t pick between three of them so I awarded three free sessions!

Last but certainly not least in the batch of girls from the January Boudoir Marathon is Jennifer who rocked a variety of awesome outfits and looks. We had a lot of fun shooting these, and Jennifer is way more outgoing than she thought she’d be doing her Boudoir pics! Love the sassy school girl uniform which is so fun. You may have seen a few of these pics previously, but I had a few more to add, so I wanted to do an individual post for Jenn.

Due to popular demand, I am pleased to announce the Spring Boudoir Marathon taking place Sunday April 26th, 2009. The session will be taking place in a loft studio located in downtown Toronto. To view the studio, please feel free to view samples from our last marathon which took place in January:

http://lisamarkphotography.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/januarys-boudoir-marathon-teasers/
For those who are unaware, a Boudoir Marathon is where 4 clients are booked in one day, and therefore the client receives a better deal than if they were to book a full day for their individual session. Also, if you didn’t have a location to use, the rental of the loft studio (usually $100 per session) is also included in the Boudoir Marathon pricing, which is also a big benefit.
The cost for the marathon per client is $500, which includes the following:
- 1 Hour Shoot by Lisa Mark
- Full Hair and Make-Up by Tania Beattie (http://www.bridesetc.ca)
- Loft studio rental included
- As many outfit changes as you want within 1 hour
- 1 Hardcover Photo Book with 25 retouched images of your choice (see below for details)…this book sells for $200 but is included during the Marathon
- All High-Resolution Images on Disc of all images shot, including 25 retouched files of your choice
SUNDAY APRIL 26, 2009
9:30 AM – AVAILABLE
11:00 AM – BOOKED
12:30 PM – BOOKED
2:00 PM – BOOKED
Time slots are reserved first come first served. To reserve your spot, please e-mail me at Lisa@LisaMarkPhotography.com or give me a call at 416.662.7495 for details on booking. Here is more about the hardcover book you’ll receive:
The book is a hardcover 8.5″ x 11″ with 10 double sided pages (meaning 20 single pages), consisting of 25 fully retouched images of your choice. I will design the book and then e-mail you a PDF for approval before I order it to ensure you’re happy with the end result.
Please let me know if you would like to reserve a spot, and if so please note that a $50 retainer (which will be applied to your total at the end) is due upon booking. You can pay by cheque made payable to Lisa Mark. Upon booking I will supply you with an address to mail the deposit to.
AS A SIDE NOTE: I created the Poster Girls for advertising the April Boudoir Marathon using girls I shot at January’s Boudoir Marathon. Check out how gorgeous they are!

Hi Ladies (& Gentlemen),
It’s been a while now since I first began shooting Boudoir portraits, and they have become a huge HIT! Thank you again to all the ladies who were lovely and allowed me to share their images with you.
I’ve also conducted Boudoir Marathons, which have also proven to be very popular. As a result, I have redesigned my Boudoir Photography packages for my individual sessions. Please note that these prices are different from Boudoir Marathon pricing which operates separately.
Also, both Packages available supply full hair and make-up services and retouched images on disc in high resolution. In Package A, you even get a gorgeous hardcover photobook of your favourite 25 images, fully retouched to perfection. I switched to hardcover by popular request! You can also add this gorgeous book onto Package B later, but you get a discount of $76 off the book if you go with Package A in advance.

Here are the details of the new packages:
BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES FOR 2009
Boudoir Package A – $599

Your option to add a hardcover book for $200 (already included in Package A):
You have the option to include a beautiful hard cover photobook which is 8.5 x 11 inches in size and has 10 double-sided pages (can fit 20 full size images or 25 if some pages are collages). Please note that all 25 images of your choice used in the book will be fully retouched. Additional double-sided pages can be added for $30 per page.
* Payment by cash or cheque is due in full on the day of the session (please make cheques out to Lisa Mark).
** The Loft Studio is available for rental for an additional $100 above and beyond the package price. Please note that this is the actual cost of the studio rental as I do not own this space; I rent it by the hour for individual sessions.

Hi guys & girls – just wanted to let you know that I held my first Boudoir Marathon on Sunday January 25th, 2009 and it was a huge success! I’m very happy with the images I was able to create with these lovely ladies and I want to thank them for being amazing Clients. I also want to say thanks for being so cool and allowing me to post their images here and on my website. My next one will be taking place on Feb. 22nd, 2009.
I’m going to be posting shots from each girl’s session so you can see just how original they all are! It really is the girl who creates the look – each has their own individual style which really comes out in these photos.
First up, Andi’s photos!
Andi’s a librarian (and so is her husband) so when she suggested bringing books along as a prop, I thought it was an AWESOME idea! Andi’s going to be giving the photobook included in her Boudoir Marathon Package to her husband for their first anniversary (aww!)

I had an amazing bride recently who’s Fiance is a guitarist, and so she wanted to incorporate the theme of rock ‘n’ roll into her boudoir shoot as a present for her rockin’ Fiance! She was so much fun to work with – and we did sweet and edgy pics – just goes to show you how different some boudoir shoots can look from others, which is great!
