On March 30th & 31st, Metropolitan Imageworks completed their 7th Intimate Moments Marathon! What’s an IM Marathon? It’s when we book a couture hotel room for multiple days and bring in the fabulous Nikolina Apostolovski of Moya Make-up for hair and make-up styling, and book 6-7 girls each day for their own personal Intimate Moments photo shoot with me! Why a hotel room? We book swanky hotel suites in the heart of downtown Chicago which allows the living area for hair/make-up prep and staging. My lovely associates, Kira and Ariel, are typically on hand to welcome the clients in, show them samples of finished albums, talk about the process and of course mix mimosas. I use the bedroom part of the suite for the actual photoshoot, which allows for maximum privacy. And yes, I use the entire bedroom from the bed to the nightstands to desks and tables and onto fun balancing acts in windowsills. No portion goes un-photographed.
These are some delectable samples from prior IM Marathon Sessions the Metimages team has coordinated. Our next one is scheduled for May 27th and 28th in another awesome hotel just off the Magnificant Mile. Email me at rachael@metimages.com for more details and to schedule your own session. These make GREAT gifts too!
