SIGH. Excuses. Excuses.

As a New Jersey Boudoir Photographer, I hear them all. I hear them all the way across the bridge from NYC, too. Women want to do a session. They want it badly. But they won't allow themselves.

BUT Not until… (fill in the blank)

"I figure out how to lose 10 pounds".

"I feel sexy again"

"I have a boyfriend"

"I'm getting divorced"

"I'm getting married"

"I get plastic surgery"

The list goes on and on and on. I have heard them all. It's not that I want to "corrupt the world" into thinking that everyone needs to do a (although I wish I could). It's really not for everyone. (Like complete Type-A control freaks, for example.) But it IS for everyone else.

What I want to encourage is to let go. Let yourself be photographed. Allow yourself the honor and celebration to be at one with yourself. For once.

There are a lot of fears and misconceptions about photo shoots, and I shatter them here.

You can help me shatter a few more of your own. Want to discuss? Contact me today!

RED BANK RESTAURANT WEEK IS HERE AND NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK CITY (NYC) BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER CATE SCAGLIONE IS OFFERING BOUDOIR PHOTO SHOOT SPECIALS 2/16/15-2/26/15

RED BANK RESTAURANT WEEK JUST GOT A LITTLE SEXIER!!! — RED BANK RESTAURANT WEEK JUST GOT A LITTLE SEXIER!!!

It's that time of year again, RED BANK RESTAURANT WEEK, when food lovers descend upon RED BANK New Jersey's culinary capital. Red Bank is also the home to my boudoir photo and portrait studio, Life As Fine Art by Cate Scaglione.

For me, one of the best things about living in Monmouth County is being so close to Red Bank. It is where my husband and I go to enjoy a chic, upscale evening with the best food outside of New York City. One might even argue, it's a better date night, with its old world charm and wonderful main-street vibe to stroll.

We love dining in Red Bank, and this year I decided to invite the rest of you all into town, to experience our little slice of culinary and shopping heaven.

As a boudoir photographer who creates glamourous photo shoots f or women, men, couples boudoir photo shoots, and even Boudoir Bachelorette parties or Ladies Night Outs.... I thought to myself, what could be a more spectacular evening than to start with a sultry, empowering photo session?

I have scheduled a week of photo sessions so my clients can enjoy my time, along with Red Bank Restaurant Week.

Imagine having your hair and makeup styled to perfection. Then having a chance to feel like a supermodel for an hour or so. Then, head out to this sexy little town feeling amazing! Sound good?

Here's the details:

Schedule your photo shoot between 2/16/15 and 2/26/15.
Hair and Makeup will be included.
Choose from a Boudoir Photo Shoot, Couples Photo Shoot, Glamour Ladies Night Out Photo Shoot, or Bachelorette Boudoir Photo Shoot
A Luxe Hotel location for your photo shoot shall be included, with an optional overnight stay (available for an upgrade).
Choose from Among 25 Red Bank Restaurants, each with a prixe fixe menu special, (some even offering dinner entrees for TWO for $30!)

In the weeks following the photo shoot, we'll meet to review your session and dream up the many gorgeous ways to display it. It's a night out, commissioned art, and vacation getaway all in one!

If this sounds like your idea of a perfect date night, please contact me ASAP at 732.676.3700 or Cate@LIfeAsFineArt.com
