Tips For Taking Tasteful And Creative Boudoir Photography

There is a surprising trend happening in the world of photography that involves women taking sexy portraits. These two do not go together at all with traditional wedding photography or family photography. So, what could possibly allow a woman to express her self confidence and share intimate and personal photos with their special someone. This would have to be boudoir photography for sure. These are not the old fashion studio photos where you got the impression that you were looking at pictures taken in a hotel that rents by the hour. Boudoir photography is very tasteful with a hint of sensual and sexiness. Today's boudoir sessions are more about fashion and flair. Boudoir photography is about woman in lingerie and provocative poses.

Women are more comfortable with sexuality than ever before. It was only a matter of time before they demanded a change in how they were perceived in boudoir photos of old. The old dreary color faded photos of the past were no longer going to be acceptable. This is not about creating a porn video either. It's an art form and it's not about taking your clothes all the way off. It's about creating a look that shows how amazing a woman's body really is. Photos they can share with their loved one that just say wow how amazing is my body and I'm proud of it. There are a few steps to keep in mind when creating and properly executing a boudoir photo shoot.

The best way to make your client feel comfortable during the shoot is working on your posing. Boudoir photography is no different than other forms of photography when it comes to creating comfortable and manageable poses. If your clients are uncomfortable then it will most likely show up in the shots you take. You need to bring out the best parts of each individual client's best features when shooting boudoir photography. Every woman is different as far as their sizes and shapes. So, you have to be able to figure out what parts of the body you want to feature. If your client has very large hips and she's extremely conscious of them. You want to take shots from the side and from above instead of head on in front of you. It's best to try and establish a rapport with the client to help them feel at ease. Do not just bring them in and start shooting.

You could go out and hire a bunch of professional to help build your portfolio and practice your skills. I feel it's better to work with regular everyday clients to work on improving your skills. With professional models it can be hard to determine which feature is their best. It can also hard to find out what is their worst. There is one plus to working with even amateur models and that is they are good at finding sensual poses that you can work with. It may take your clients awhile to get comfortable and they may not know how to position themselves in a sensual manner. This is the one area you may benefit from having amateur models to provide you with examples to use on our clients. Your job is to highlight the parts that your client feels are her best physical qualities and hide those that she does not feel comfortable about.

Lighting is very important in boudoir photography as it is with most photography in general. Flash photography can be very unflattering to natural skin. So, you want to use as much natural light as you possibly can. Avoid at all cost direct flash and use as little off camera lighting as you can get away with. Use soft lighting during your shoot which will allow for softer skin tones. Split lighting is a technique that I like to use in my sessions. I've tried this with natural lighting, but this does not work as well as use one main source of lighting. You place your light source at a 90 degree angle and prefer use off camera lighting that simulates natural light. This allows me to create a dramatic and a definite mood in my shots.

Picking the proper lens will also help you get the wanted shot you are looking for. A zoom lens and the right camera angle is really all that's needed to get the perfect shot. You do not need multiple lens changes or camera changes during your shoot. You want to shoot level with the client and not from above. This will help make sure the proportions are correct and not unflattering.

Picking out the right outfit is another issue that you want to work with your client on. You do not want to pick out your clients outfit. You want them to feel comfortable in whatever they decide to wear. The item could have a special meaning or it could just be an item of clothing that they share during special intimate moments. You want your client to at least bring two or three different items for you to work with. You want to bring items that are a combination that allow you to undress and reveal another more provocative outfit underneath. This also allows the client to become a little more comfortable about taking their clothes off while a camera watches their every move.

You want them to stay with neutral colors like black, beige, and red. These work best with most skin tones. You also want the items they are wearing to fit. You do not want an outfit that is too tight on their skin. You also do not want one that lose fitting and falls off during the shoot. Remember you are not shooting porn. You are creating tasteful art that is not showing full nudity. Picking a favorite team jersey or a work shirt is always recommended as one of the outfits you'll want to use.

The biggest hurdle your going to face while shooting boudoir photos is getting your client to relax. If you are able to get past the nervous issues that arise. You should be able to create sexy and provocative photos for your clients to share with the loved one.

How To Achieve Professional Results When Painting Your Kitchen Cabinets

I have been getting a ton of questions via lately about one of our Facebook postings in which I painted our kitchen walls and cabinets. Most people are curious and want to know how to paint kitchen cabinets, and how much it cost to get our cabinets looking like new.

Our house is very old and so are our cabinets. It did not bother us at first but ever, we got sick of looking at that ugly veneer look so we decided it was time for a makeover.

It's not very difficult to paint over veneer it just needs the right prep work. If you hire a professional I would suggest trying to do as much as you can yourself such as taking off the doors and hardware and maybe sanding them lightly with a 220 grit sanding block. Just a light scuff will do (imagine you are cleaning a window). That will save you a few dollars. But if you decide to do it on your own here are some tips on how to paint kitchen cabinets and get amazing and long lasting results.

Preparation When Painting Kitchen Cabinets

After you remove your doors (or just masking your hinges) light sand / scuff the surfaces that are being painted with a 220 grit sanding block. Use a type of degreasers such as Windex or Zep Citrus Degreaser.

Next, you have 2 options.You can use a 220 grit sandwich and lightly scuff your surfaces or use Krud Kutter-Gloss Off which you can wipe on using a rag and let it sit for 10 minutes. Your surfaces will be deglossed without having to sand them.

Using a good quality paint will help you get the best finish possible. I suggest using Benjamin Moore Advance Alkyd. It is very easy to work with and dries to a hard and durable finish.

Using a 2-inch Nylon paintbrush start cutting in around the hardware (if you did not remove the doors) and any places Your Whizz ™ roller will not reach. Next, use your Whizz ™ roller to apply your ALKYD enamel. Try to paint in the same direction as your grain (if your cabinet has a fake wood pattern). Let it dry overnight and repeat. You can hang your doors now but keep in mind that even though the enamel will dry overnight, it still takes 30 days to fully cure so be careful and try to avoid scrubbing them before those 30 days.

Increasing the Efficiency of Your Air Conditioner

Any air conditioner, whether it's a single room unit or central AC, made after 1990, will typically have what is called a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) or an EER (Energy Efficiency Rating). These ratings are going to be printed on the unit's ID tag. Any units that have the SEER of 12 or more, or for units that have an EER of 10 or more, are considered to be Energy Star ranked. If you are looking to improve the efficiency of your air conditioner there are a few. Here is a brief overview of a few steps and tips to try.

Things You Will Have to Have:

• Hose

• Metal duct tape

• Air filter

• Programmable thermostat

• Vacuum

To begin with, ensure the system's air filter gets changed out with a new one. This should be done each month. For AC units that are single room, you should wash the filters under hot water or in the bath tub. After it's rinsed, shake any extra water out and ensure it's completely discharged out before you place it back into the unit. When you are doing this or dealing with the filter area, ensure the unit is turned off.

If you see any dust or other dirt built up, vacuum it. Look by the coils and inside the coils as well as areas when changing the filters. Dirt, dust, and other debris tend to build up over time, and can affect the efficiency of your air conditioner. It blocks coils and restricts them from working efficiently.

Use the duct tape and seal all areas that are exposed in the open near the ductwork. This tape is designed to stick well to metal housing, including it seals effectively.

With a hose, clean outside coils as dirt and other debris accumulate and can get on the units fins of the coils. By always ensuring the coils of the air conditioner unit you can ensure that it will not have to work so hard to cool your home. You are also going to help increase air flow through the unit and reduce how hard the actual unit has to work.

Consider installing a thermostat that is programmable, as this helps to reduce how often the AC kicks on during the day. This is true when everyone in the home is gone for vacation or when you are at work. You might want to have a professional help install it as it's often going to be tricky to do on your own. This can also depend on what type of central AC unit you want and currently have. When you are not in a room, turn off your window units or other AC devices.

Make sure that you have the proper size of AC unit for your needs and based on the amount of space you want to cool. You need to have a unit that is going o cool your desired sq. footage, and in some cases, especially when using a portable air conditioner, you may need to have a few units. Having a nair conditioner that is smaller or even too large is going to reduce its efficiency.

How Much Does Your Meal Cost? Can You Cut it Down?

You may complain your government a lot recently that you can not buy anything with one dollar with this economic crisis and inflation rate. But did you know how much is a US dollar worth in each country? I do not mean conversion rate but I mean "worth". In many countries in Africa and Asia, a dollar could buy food for a week. No kidding it's true.For example,

* In Thailand, a meal such as rice with spicy chicken or pork cost between 20 and 40 Baht per portion. That is about 1 USD a meal.

* In India, food is extremely cheap. A kilo of tomatoes or most vegetables cost approximately 0.28 USD, a loaf of bread comes for about 0.23 USD, half-kilogram butter for 1.28 USD, 10 eggs for 0.50 USD.

You may think I'm living in USA. I can not afford to live there just for cheaper cost of living. Yes, it's not necessary to move just to cut down your meal price. There are tips and techniques that you can follow to cut the cost down.

1. Planning menus in advance for a week. You will see what items are needed. You can compare this list of items against weekly grocery for the best price.

2. Cut food waste. Buying food in volume may give you bargain power but it will save no money if you have to throw the waste out. Consider investing in a freezer to store food until it is needed.

3. Be self-discipline. Buy only items you have planned. Impulse buying can destroy a budget.

4. Use coupons first. Coupons can reduce the total cost of groceries by 50% or more. There's a woman on TV program said she can prepare food for the whole family of 2 adults and 3 children for a week with less than 30 USD. This is awesome.

Follow the 4 steps repeatedly every week then compare your receipts wherever your average meal cost is lessen. If not, let's find what goes wrong each week. The first few weeks may be tough for the beginner. You have to believe in yourself and be more disciplined. Probably consider go shopping alone next time so you can control the shopping list.

If you have done everything you can but you still can not cut the food cost down, let's think positively that you may reach your lowest point already.

Credit Repair Tips

There are many methods to credit repair and if you have poor credit scores then you should consider restoring your credit. You will enjoy an increase in your financial freedom when you take steps towards bad credit repair.

Bad credit can be detrimental to your financial well being. You may have constant phone calls to your home from bill collectors and the battle may seem impossible. You might make less money than you can financially afford to pay towards your monthly bills. This is called being "upside down in your bills". It is possible to get on the path towards credit repair even though it might seem impossible.

You may have bad credit for many reasons. You could have medical bills, credit card bills, and many more bills that are overwhelmingly high. No matter what the reason is, when your credit scores are low it is viewed a number of ways. First, your debt to income is reviewed. Creditors look at the amount of money you OWE on your credit versus the amount of money that you MAKE. Also, if you have many debts that are small amounts unpaid, this looks very bad too. However, the largest way a company looks at your credit score is that it shows you do not pay your bills. This means you can not be trusted with paying back a credit or a loan. The better your credit score is then the more a business will trust you with paying back the loan.

When you have bad credit it is next to near impossible to get a loan for anything. You will not be able to get credit cards, buy a home, a car, or get credit for anything you might need. In most cases, if someone does extend you a line of credit then your interest rate is very high. When you are given a high interest rate then you are almost paying double for the initial line of credit.

When you make the decision to repair your credit with a 'repair my credit toolkit' then you are taking the first step to a better financial situation. Remember, bad credit means higher interest rates. It also means when you have a financial emergency, you can qualify for a line of credit to help you make it through your problems. You have the financial freedom to buy things like boats, cars, and more. You also have a better interest rate on your line of credit.

Through our credit repair tutorials you will find that the first thing you need to do to take a step towards free credit repair is to get a copy of each of your credit reports. There are three primary credit reporting agencies. These companies are Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. You are entitled to one free report from each of these agencies a year. You should compare the three reports and write down all of your debts that appear to be damaging to your credit.

When you begin your credit score repair the quickest way to get started is to highlight all of the small amounts that you can afford to pay. If you have any amounts that are less than $ 100 on your report then you should pay them immediately. These look the worst on your credit. If you think you can repair your credit on your own then you can. You should start with the smaller amounts first. You should call one creditor at a time. Call each of the creditors and ask them for the payoff amount. Most creditors who show negative on your credit will be happy to get anything. Most of your creditors will accept a deal to pay 60% of the debt owed rather than the full amount. If they accept a deal with you then you should have this agreement faxed to you. You should also demand a receipt for payment and attach to the agreement.

Once you pay on a debt on your credit report it may take up to 60 days to reflect on your credit report as being paid. Keep in mind that despite you pay a debt off on your report, it will remain on your report.

If you need credit repair help because your debt and bills seem too overwhelming for you to handle then you can find many places that offer free credit repair. You should be cautious about people you use to help you repair your credit because there are a lot of fraudsters out there who will make promises they can not keep.
The most important thing is that companies who offer to repair bad credit for free should never charge you for anything up front. They may offer services that do have fees in addition to repairing your credit. These fees may include the cost of copies being made and other things. However, you should not agree to any fees if a company tries to charge you for repairing your credit.

Another thing people forget is that when they go in to 'restore my credit' businesses they may hear that debts can be erased from a credit report. Many people who are dishonestly trying to provide services to people with bad credit will make promises like this. No one can erase negative information. The only type of information that can be removed from a credit report is information that is incorrect. If there is a debt on your credit report that is not valid and that you do not owe then this is the only thing that can be erased. Information that is accurate will remain on your credit report for 7 years from the date the debt is recorded. A bankruptcy will also remain on your credit report for ten years. If you had bills like credit cards and you fell behind on them for a month or two and then cached back up on them, this too will reflect on your credit report. Falling behind on your bills can remain on your credit report for up to seven years, even if you have been brought up for a year.

A credit repair company helps many people with bad credit report repair issues. Most of the companies will sit down with you and total all of your debts. They will offer you consolidation services to help you pay back your debts. Consolidation of your debts is often the best solution if you are paying a bill here and a bill there. It is easy to lose track of which bill to pay this month or next month and a credit repair company can help you get back on track financially.

A credit repair company will use credit repair software to help you organize your debts. You will work with a consultant who will go over all of your bills and your current income. It is important to remember that your most important bills are the bills of necessity for living. These are your rent, electricity, water, trash, and food. Any other bills you are used to paying will be set with with your debt and not listed as living expenses.

The company will also help you look at your spending habits. You might be used to shopping online or eating out at a restaurant every day during the work week. Your spending habits will be assessed and stopped. You can save a lot of money by taking lunch to work with you or by going home for lunch instead of eating out.

Once the company has estimated your bills, your income, and your spending habits that will figure out how much additional income you can afford for a monthly payment towards your debt each month. The great thing about this is that when a company consolidates your debt for you, then you make only one monthly payment towards your debt. The company will disburse your monthly payment among your creditors accordingly.

If there are things on your credit report that are not accurate the company will help you prepare a credit repair letter to the reporting agencies to dispute things on your credit. They will help you every step of the way work toward getting your credit back on track.

When you make a decision for bad credit report repair and to go with a company then you will receive a detailed written contract. By law, if you go through a company that is for profit, nonprofit, banks, credit unions, and creditors, you are allowed three days to back out of the written agreement. They must give you a full explanation of all of your legal rights. In addition, they can not demand any form of payment until all promises have been kept by the company. If the company is claiming money up front then you should go with a company who is not in it for the money. Remember, there are many nonprofit governmental agencies designed to help people get their credit back on track.

There are many things you should be aware of when you are thinking about credit repair. If you receive an email about credit repair then you should be leery. Be sure to research the company and confirm they can really help you. Most emails sent out about credit repair are commonly fraudulent and dishonest. Just remember never to pay any money up front for your credit help.
Another thing you should keep in mind is that some fraudulent companies tell consumers that they can help them create a second credit file. They may offer a new social security or tax identification number. Not only does this promise not work but it is considered illegal. The term for a promise like this is called 'file segregation'. No one can give you a new social security number but the Social Security Administration office. There are very rare instances of new numbers being given out in situations of witness protection programs with the government, and serious cases of an identity being stolen. Remember that what you feel to be serious and what they consider serious are very different. There are also thousands of identity thefts that occur on a daily basis. This also has caused the Social Security Administration to consider these issues even less today. If a credit repair company makes a promise to you that sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

Many people say "I want to restore my own credit." You can. The first thing you should do if you have credit problems is get counseling. You can call your local Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS). They can give you advice on how you can build your credit record back to something acceptable. They can also help you find an agency that can help you if they can not and you can trust the information you receive from them. The CCCS can help you make payment plans with bills you have fallen behind on. The services offered through the CCCS are usually free but if they do charge you then they are at a very low cost. If you need to find the nearest CCCS office so you can get started on your credit repair, then you can call toll-free 1-800-388-2227.

When you make a decision to repair your bad credit you are taking the first step towards your financial freedom. You can repair your credit on your own or you can seek credit counseling from a credit repair firm. This is usually the best option for people who are upside down in their bills and the phone will not stop ringing from creditors. A company can help you prioritize your monthly bills. They can also give you the benefit of one easy monthly payment that will be applied to all of your debts. You will not have to worry about your creditors anymore because they will take care of everything for you.

When you repair your bad credit then you can have the financial freedom to have credit extended to you for those things you really want or that house you have been working so hard to qualify for. Do not let your bad credit be a detriment to your financial freedom with poor interest rates and denials anymore. You can get back on track with a positive credit score.

Showing Gratitude - How to Be Grateful for Your Happiness

Gratitude begets happiness and happiness leads to gratitude. Gratitude increases happiness and frees or distances one's attention from sadness or negative thoughts and feelings. The more grateful a person is, the happier one becomes. Although happiness naturally comes in response to good times, gratitude for the reasons of such happiness has to be worshiped and practiced as it does not come natural. It is only when the attitude of gratitude is nurtured that it becomes a 'natural' and spontaneous response to happy experiences. So, how can one be grateful for one's happiness? It is by willfully demonstrating gratitude.

There are many ways to show gratitude depending on one's experiences and reasons for happiness. Lists of practical recommendations could me limitless. From experience, let me share easy tips which have helped me feel happier every day even in tough moments.

First, I show my gratitude to God. God already knows what is within my mind and heart and no thoughts or words are sufficient enough to express gratitude but I start my day by kindly thanking God who is the creator of my life and the author of my destiny. I am happy because I have life, I am still alive and journeying through life's roads. How can't I be thankful? So, in prayer, I silently count the blessings I receive and willfully thank in advance for those that have yet to come (which normally come due time). Part of the morning ritual is my prayer of Psalm 103: 1-5:

"Bless the Lord, my soul! Everything in me, bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, my soul, and forget none of his benefits!
He forgives all your offsets, He heals all your diseases,
He redeems your life from the pit, He surrounds you with grace and compassion,
He contents you with good as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like an eagle's. "

This prayer captures my gratitude for all that have been and my hopeful yearning for the good things yet to come. It helps me focus on the bright side of life in the light of faith especially when the going gets tough. As I am happy for being blessed, so I thank the prime source of blessings. By so doing, I feel even happier.

Second, I show my gratitude to people. Countless are the reasons for thanking the people who have contributed to make my life better and happier. From simple favours to enforced acts of generosity received, ways of thanking people are many depending on one's creativity. To my beloved ones near me (here in Brazil), hugs and kisses are deeply personal and culturally indispensable. To the ones far and away, messages and calls are a must. And to each one I meet each day, I show smiles, handshakes and hugs loaded with words of appreciation and intentional mention of the reasons I am thankful for. Simple words and gestures are often more than enough to make me and others feel happy and light. And when I can, I return the favors I receive by directly giving them back something or giving something to those who need it most.

Third, I show my gratitude to things. Yes, it is true. Things! Not only thank for them but also to them. Since there are countless things around, I single out some of them and highlight what they positively mean to me depending on the moment. I thank the cool air in the morning, the birds chirping at dawn, the trees that offer shades and filter, the car that takes me to places, the food etc. This practice, weird it may seem, just helps me feel happier through the day. Meanings change depending on how one attaches them to things or situations. I try to be grateful for the positive meanings things might mean to me and others. Otherwise, negativities in meanings and impacts abound to make one's life less of a reason for thanksgiving and joy. Opting for them is also a lifestyle but not worthwhile. Resistance to them is a defense of gratitude and of happiness itself.

Showing gratitude to God, people and things is nothing but a simple and less effortful demonstration of acknowledgment and appreciation for what one is and has become through them. Gratitude seems to cost nothing. More often than not, it costs a lot to one's happiness.

Tips For Successful Online Vehicle Merchandising

Digitization is gaining momentum and expanding across borders and continents. With buyers spending countless hours on the internet gathering all the information they possibly can, there's no denying the fact that they are now much more aware than they ever were. To cope with the increasing customer awareness, marketers need to modify their strategies and change the way they position and display their products. They need to bring every facet of their inventory above the fold. They need to know what drives sales. A simple set of changes today could have a huge impact on your sales a few months down the line.

Slowly selling inventory is a pain for every automated dealer and is something everyone has encountered at least once. Keeping the inventory moving is absolutely essential. And how do you that? You bring the products to the customers and not the other way round. For every vehicle in your dealership, there are thousands of buyers out there and it's up-to you to go out and find them. If not you, at least hyper-targeted advertisements can. Take an omni-channel marketing approach and distribute internal listings across highly trafficked websites like Facebook. Further, specifically target the buyers living in close proximity to your dealership. These personalized advertisements deliver extremely relevant traffic to your VDPs. With various solutions available these days, you get to create dynamic advertisements based on intended buyer's particular Google searches. Since the ads are not pre-designed and based on the information the buyers are seeking, they tend to be more fitting and increase the click-through rate.

When people land on Vehicle Display pages, make sure that they do not leave empty handed. Simply put, VDPs should be engaging enough because buyers tend to have very cramped attention spans. They would not hover around your website if they do not find what they came for. Some important points to consider:

• Do not use stock photographs
• Make sure that your inventory is priced. Inquiry increase by as much as 381% when inventories are listed with prices. Modern inventory pricing tools can be very helpful in ascertain the appropriate price.
• Use consistent and high-resolution photos.
• Videos are a rage: Buyers seeing their next vehicle is motion is extremely powerful.

The ability to take a virtual tour in and around the vehicle elevates dealership visits by 49%.

The leads you get from the VDPs should be converted into phone calls and E-mails. And then comes the most serious part that is dealership visit. Now this process involves human animals more than technology. Your sales are only as good as your hired employees. Your staff needs to be productive, technical, detail-oriented and dependent. It's preferred that you hire the right people rather than spending time grooming them. Put yourself in the buyer's position and work hard to make that experience as unique and as special as possible.
