Neon Alley Has Arrived!

Allow me to introduce you to my current obsession in my Downtown Oshkosh studio:

Neon Alley.

If you’re a fan of vibrant colors and black light glow, Neon Alley is probably right up your alley.  The neon signs create an amazing array of hue and light, and I just.can’t.get.enough.  When I say I’m obsession, I mean I am obsessessed.

Boudoir Session Inspiration

I’ve known ever since I opened my first studio here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, that I wanted a neon wall or area all my own.  The glow of neon signs and the melding of colors speaks to my artsy and creative soul in a way that I don’t know how to describe.

The inspiration for my little Neon Alley isn’t hard to find: back in the city we lived in in Colorado, there’s a very unique local attraction in the downtown that is known as Neon Alley.  The name is much more fitting in that case.  Pueblo, Colorado’s Neon Alley is a literal alley spanning a couple of city blocks with several businesses on either side, and wired all over up and down that alley are neon signs of all styles and sizes, from well-known restaurants, to random winged horses, to an extremely large Hollywood sign.  It’s really no surprise that it’s a huge destination for all manner of portraits.  (Although I’ll admit boudoir would have been a challenge, since it’s a public place.)

 

It was one of my favorite places to photograph in, and was one of the things I missed when we moved.

Bringing Neon Alley to the Fox Valley

After a visit back to Colorado this summer and re-visiting Neon Alley, I was determined to make my dream of a neon space in my own studio a reality.

Once we returned home to Wisconsin, we set out to work.  My husband, who is very handy and a much better builder than I am, helped me fix up an unused space in the studio basement to bring my vision to life of an “alley” with neon signs and a white brick wall.  The vinyl records on the walls were my own little idea, and I’ll admit I’m kind of impressed with how they reflect the lights from the signs when lit up.

All-in-all, it took about a week of set up to bring my own little slice of Neon Alley to the Fox Valley for all of my boudoir sessions to enjoy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I love Neon Alley so much, it’s STANDARD for EVERY boudoir session in my Downtown Oshkosh studio!

Honey: That deliciously sweet sticky nectar of the bees. 

You can put it on your breakfast, in your warm beverage, lick it off your fingers, and now – you can even put it on yourself.  Who would have thought that honey boudoir could be a thing, right?!

I, personally, love honey.  How how it tastes, and that it’s a delicious natural sweetener.  I LOVE when I can find sticks of it at the Oshkosh Farmer’s Market and can just walk around Main Street with that little sip of sweet right in my hands.  And I know I’m not alone – there’s a HUGE market for honey, and it just doesn’t get any better than the local stuff.  A sweet treat AND support a local business?  YES, PLEASE! (Check out https://www.wihoney.org/ to find some local Wisconsin honey – YUM)

We all lick honey off our fingers

So why not let your partner lick it off of you?

Better yet, use some during your boudoir session, and then let them lick it off of you!

You Need A Honey Boudoir Session

When I finally had the chance to shoot a honey boudoir session in my downtown Oshkosh boudoir studio, I just KNEW I had to do it.  Honey is one of my favorite things!  And with a little careful planning (read: a plastic table cloth laid down) the mess was non-existent, and clean-up took only a matter of minutes.

And now, the gorgeous rock star Christina has some super sexy, super sweet images to give to her partner – right before he licks some of that honey off of her  

What do you think of a honey boudoir session? Is this something you would enjoy doing? Or does the stickiness seem like more work than play?

And let’s be real here – who doesn’t absolutely love fall?!  The beautiful fall colors, sweater weather, and the flavors you wait ALL YEAR for.

Oh, what a wonderful time of year!

And then there’s Halloween.  The creepy vibes, scary movies, costumes, and so. much. candy.  

I don’t know about you, but Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday.  I love everything about it – the history, the myths and legends, the jump-scares….

And especially the decor.  The Gothic-styled look of Halloween sets makes me swoon.  The beautiful, ornate wall hangings, the bizarre knick-knacks, the absolutely stunning adornments in every corner and on every shelf.  Every part speaks to my soul.
