NYC boudoir photo studio | Testimonial for Je Revele

April 5, 2014 /

NYC boudoir photo studio

I’m not sure how many people reading this post have had a boudoir session in the NYC area, but I have.  It’s such an exciting and liberating experience.  A bit nerve wrecking too.  It’s also a core requirement for the entire Je Revele team as well.  Jess, Kristin and Charity have all been photographed in the last 18 months by me.  I wish I could share photos but they’re under lock and key.  hehe

One of our gorgeous clients came by to pickup her album and thanked us for the experience. I asked her if she’d mind sharing a few of those words on video.  Sometimes our clients feel a little nervous when planning a session with us.

Jenna F boudoir testimonial for Je Revele a NYC boudoir photography studio.

In 2013 we photographed over 135 fabulous women for boudoir and glamour sessions at the castle in Highland Park, NJ and on the Upper West Side in Manhattan.   Our lovely client Jenna was looking to setup a boudoir session in New Jersey last year.  When she called us, we were so excited to meet her.  Jessica photographed Jenna last Summer and boy did I wish I did too.  Michelle styled her on the day and looked absolutely breathtaking.

We created an album for Jenna and when she picked up her products she was so thrilled I asked if she wouldn’t mind sharing her experience on video.  If you’re considering booking a shoot in our NYC boudoir photo studio – give us a call anytime.

With photography studios located on the Upper West Side in NYC and in a historic NJ Castle, Je Revele’s award winning team of artists look for the subtleties and stories that others may not often see.

If you’re thinking of planning a luxurious NYC or New Jersey boudoir photography experience in a historic castle, give us a call.  Our sessions are all about you.  We can plan an era inspired session (think 1930′s glamour).  Do you have a special occasion coming up? Wedding or special birthday?  We photograph women age 22 through 64+ who want to celebrate life, and celebrate themselves.  After all you only live once.  We would love to create iconic photographic art with our team of talented boudoir photographers at Je Revele.

Destination Boudoir | Je Revele Fine Art Photography

March 14, 2014 /

Destination boudoir photography sessions are the latest craze hitting NYC.    At Je Revele, it’s no secret that we make it our priority to ensure that our client’s feel welcomed, pampered and beautiful.  Every sip of champagne, nibble of delicate pastries, and words shared between our staff and clients is a moment of pleasure.

We have clients flying from California or Florida, or traveling a bit closer from Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  And yet where ever you travel from – a day with us is hopefully one you will never forget.  Whether it’s beauty, boudoir, fashion or a simply stunning portrait, everyone is made to look and feel beautiful.

Destination Boudoir

In this liberating, full or half day experience, you’ll start the day with couture hair and makeup, (champagne and laughter flowing endlessly), followed by a photo session with Natalie or a member of the Je Revele team. Then, choose to end this day of fun and pampering with a 5-star dinner party here at The Castle or in Manhattan at some of the finest restaurants in the world.

Planning a destination retreat for friends or bachelorette boudoir experience – a day with us is a fusion between spa, club and photo shoot.  You can celebrate your friendship and beauty with a Je Revele Boudoir Portrait Party. It’s a day of fun-filled pampering and fashion, where you can relax and liberate your inner goddesses, together! At our Castle studio, you’ll be treated like royalty…a place where the laughter flows as freely as the champagne.

Why escape anywhere else when you can really feel a world away? We offer clients and their guests custom boudoir party experiences, which may include a combination of the following amenities…

– boudoir and couture photo session

– lunch

– champagne and hors d’oeurves

– designer wardrobe rentals optional

– chauffeur transportation  optional

– Broadway tickets optional

– private chef/in-castle dining experience  optional

So, just imagine…you’ve arranged a weekend trip to New York City.  You’d start your day strolling through Central Park and admiring the famed skyline, which frames the lush trees of the park. After a delightful lunch in Little Italy, shopping in Soho you and a few friends head to our studio, located on the Upper West Side or our castle studio just 40 minutes away.  Cascading ribbons of sunlight stagger through the architecture of the building. You’d be pampered and styled as only a model could be.   After a glamorous photo shoot, you slip into a fantastic outfit and spend the rest of your evening enjoying some of NYC’s delicious cuisine; concluding the night with a Broadway show.  It is guaranteed to be one of the most fabulous weekends you will ever experience.  Take our word for it.

So much of what we do at Je Revele Fine Art Photography Studios goes beyond photography. So much of who we are reflects who YOU are.  As artist, we look for the subtleties and stories that others may not often see. We listen with our eyes to the many ways epic beauty is expressed.

ACADEMY AWARD BEAUTY | NEW JERSEY BOUDOIR

March 5, 2014 /

The Glow Within: New Jersey Boudoir Photographers Je Revele

While staying up late to watch the most recent Academy Awards, I marveled at the glamour and prestige that graced the red carpet.
So many stunning gowns. So much admiration from outside looking in. Yes, of course, the celebrities were all wearing customized gowns and had personal stylists create their looks, but still, the jaw dropping splendor seen everywhere I glanced could only reflect the inner beauty I gazed upon. Ah, the perfection of youth is so gloriously made manifest at the Oscars.

NEW JERSEY BOUDOIR
I find this same dynamic during shoots at the studio. Many of our New Jersey boudoir photography clients prepare for shoots, determining outfits and special looks. Perhaps more time at the gym or a new skin care regime help them feel even more radiant.

No matter what is done to enhance the natural aura of each client, I find myself amazed at how beautiful every woman truly is. No matter what stage of life she is in, her femininity is discovered during our shoot together. This is particularly true with some of my younger clients, who still have yet to realize how close to perfect their physical features are simply because of their youth.
Emily, age 26, reminds me of a delicate sprite. Her blonde silky hair, porcelain skin and prominent, piercing eyes fluttered every version of gorgeous that could be imagined.

NEW JERSEY BOUDOIR
Wearing a lovely lace garment which complemented her skin and eyes, she was stunning. All the essence of innocence and radiance were contained in her glances. When she slipped into a grand tulle skirt, her spirit was light and playful. Everything about Emily seemed to show that she was enjoying being a young woman… but is still a girl at heart. And her images will always remind her of this very fact.
Emily, thank you for reminding us that we all still have this glow within us. We don’t need to be on a red carpet to feel worthy.

NEW JERSEY BOUDOIR

Here is what Emily had to say about her time with us.

“My experience at Je Revele was absolutely wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about Michelle & Jessica. They both made me feel so comfortable and helped me really enjoy the whole experience.
I felt amazing during the shoot. I wanted a real classic look and Michelle nailed it! I totally felt like Marilyn Monroe for the day!
I’ll always love these pictures and remember the shoot. It will forever be one of the highlights of my 20’s and I’m so thrilled to be able to share my photos for the rest of my life with all the people I love. Especially my boyfriend, he loves them.
I loved the exhilarating feeling I got being in front of the camera. It was such a great day and I can’t thank everyone at Je Revele enough for creating such a special memory for me!”

NEW JERSEY BOUDOIR PHOTOS | JE REVELE BOUDOIR STUDIO

January 14, 2014 /

Helen Lawrenson once said, “If a woman is sufficiently ambitious, determined and gifted – there is practically nothing she can’t do.”
I’m beginning to wonder if Ms. Lawrenson hadn’t met the lovely Ms. Shanna. Encompassed by a lovely, siren -red ball gown, Shanna stood out like a prominent rose in the middle of our castle courtyard. As her feet glided across the cobblestones, the stone walls seemed to whisper admirably. With each twirl and sly smile, I smiled, aimed and captured her essence. Oh how exquisite to experience this moment with her!  When she called me to plan new jersey boudoir photos, I felt in those first few moments, that we would be friends.

I’m excited to see the confident spirit that Shanna exudes. Her attitude about herself is refreshing. It’s so important for a woman to embrace all that she is, and not feel as though she has to shield others from her bright light. Perhaps it’s because she has been a model since she was a small child or maybe she has worked on her own sense of self? Whatever the reason, Shanna was certainly not inhibited to be all that she so beautifully is!

During her pre-consultation conference, Shanna shared that she wanted to celebrate her femininity. How wonderful and inspiring! What if we all followed suit and did one act of kindness for ourselves each day to celebrate our womanhood? How the world would change for the better!

Throughout Shanna’s photo-shoot, she blossomed all the more. As out time together finished, I realized that I felt even better about myself. Her positive energy was contagious! It is my truest hope that all of our clients experience the same glow as evidenced in Shanna after spending a little time at Je Revele.

Shanna’s Feedback:

It was a great experience. You feel that it is “all about you” from the moment that you’re greeted in the courtyard. The setting is unsurpassed in NJ. I have never before been photographed by anyone that is world renowned such as Natalie. I treasure this shoot:).
Natalie made me feel as if all of my pictures were amazing & made sure that my poses translated well on camera. She also posed me when I had doubts about body position. My makeup & hair was beautifully done.
I was a model in a previous life & have been photographed since 5 by pros. Natalie is the first photographer that captured the real, true me. I actually cried when I saw some of the pictures. I did the shoot with Natalie to celebrate a transition in my life. I made the perfect selection of photographers for that.
Meeting Natalie & Mr. Kaplan were actually my highlights!

…one of the greatest joys about doing what you love is meeting someone like Shanna.  Initially a client, I can call her a friend.

The Je Revele Team Expands | NJ Family Photographer

January 11, 2014 /

The Expanding Je Revele Team

This Fall 2013, the Je Revele Family welcomed two spectacular talents. The quest to find two extraordinary people was no easy feat, but we are grateful to welcome Kristin & Lara.

Kristin O’Donnell

Kristin O’Donnell has been proudly welcomed to the Je Revele Family.  She brings a wealth of experience to the team.  Educated at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City, Kristin as been actively capturing people, places, moments, animals and experiences on camera for over 8 years.

Her portfolio of works includes genres such as action, lifestyle, nature, family, animal and boudoir.  Kristin also has a history in photographing adventure sports.   This newlywed met her husband while rock climbing!  Inspired by her parents’ and husband’s attitude toward life, Kristin is blessed with motivation to always keep learning.  She is pleased to work with Natalie Licini, owner of Je Revele, as she admires Natalie’s drive and determination.

When asked about her two most favorite pieces of photographic art, Kristin described an animals series she is currently working on, titled Creeper, and a striking silhouette portrait she had recently taken at the Highland Park studio.  When not in the studio, it isn’t unusual to see Kristin utilizing her Canon 7D or Mamiya RZ67 for personal enjoyment.  She claims that her creative work is what keeps her inspired. “It’s what makes me tick.,” she concludes.

Kristin is a natural for connecting to those she photographs.  “My favorite part of being a photographer is that I’m able to capture a moment in someones life that they will have forever.” realizes Kristin as she reflects upon her passion.  Having been a former client at Je Revele, Kristin understands the dynamics of what is entailed with being part of an intimate photo session.  She understand the importance of women feeling good about their bodies when they exercise and take care of themselves.  Being fixated only with the number on the scale; being thin for the sake of being thin is something Kristin finds overrated. It is because of such wise perspective that she is able to draw out her clients’ most confident selves.

Outside of the Studio, Kristin most enjoys the outdoors or just relaxing with her new husband and beloved boxer in their home in Hamilton, NJ.

Lara Saggese

Prior to her work as a Je Revele Fine Art photography, Lara Saggese has been a business owner as well as a Manager and  Creative Director in the music publishing industry.   Working for Warner/Chappell Music Publishing and then launching an independent music publishing company, MPCA, allowed her to hone her business skills and creative talents.  Another hobby of hers, photography, always called to her however, while she established roots in the musical arena.

Lara realized that her long running love affair with photography was something she was compelled to do for a living after leaving the music industry in favor of a more family friendly career.   Lara took aim for the photography field and has been happily capturing unforgettable images for her clients ever since.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Lara moved to Marlboro, New Jersey 8 years ago.

Immersing herself in tons of photographic literature,  training courses and small independent workshops and with a camera on hand, Lara experimented and mastered her craft.  After tirelessly studying and portfolio building, Lara opened her own photography business, specializing in children’s and family portraiture and established herself as a sought-after professional.

Lara describes her work in the studio for Je Revele to be refreshing.  “Working here is elevating as a photographer” Lara muses.  “Natalie ‘s positive encouragement really makes me love my job even more than I already did”, she adds.  “Welcoming clients to the castle-like setting of the Highland Park studio is a dream, creatively.”

Whom would she like to photograph the most?  Lara’s Canon 5D Mark II wouldn’t be able to resist photographing Mike Piazza, the revered former Mets baseball player.

People who know Lara well describe her to be creative, bubbly, and full of laughter.  In college she was fondly referred to as “Bubbles” because of the unstoppable giggles, and her ability to find the joy in life and make others feel at ease.

Lara brings a varied background, an intuitive sense about what her clients’ truly hope to achieve, and a zest for life to the Je Revele family.

We are grateful and excited that these two talents joined the Je Revele family in 2013.
