Mississippi Boudoir Photography - website is LIVE!


I have been working on my boudoir website for some time now. And it is TIME to launch! (work warning, there's music - so if you are at work, turn those speakers off)

Let me introduce you to MISSISSIPPI BOUDOIR!

Tilley Photography has a dedicated division just for boudoir photography. Yes, I'm still the photographer for both Tilley Photography and Mississippi Boudoir - but I wanted to separate the two. My boudoir sessions have become so popular that it made sense!!



Not a single one of the beautiful ladies on my site ia a model - they are all REAL women. (although, I think you'll all agree that they look like models!)

I'll be adding more information and photos to the website in the coming weeks, so check back often!! And call me today to schedule your boudoir session. I'm booking now for fall to make for GREAT holiday gifts!

Mississippi Boudoir serves all of South Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana including Gulfport, Biloxi, Jackson, Mobile and New Orleans!

South Mississippi Boudoir Photography

Oh, my poor neglected blog!! I've had a busy spring and summer (good thing) - although it leaves less time for blog sharing. But I can't stay away too long, so I'm going to share a few teasers photos from a recent boudoir session!

Of course, her face is hidden until she presents her husband with his awesome wedding gift - but until then, I thought I'd share some sneak peaks.

If you're getting married, or already married (and perhaps your hubby is serving our nation abroad) - what better gift than a boudoir album to show him how much you love him?

Mississippi Boudoir / Tilley Photography is Mississippi's premier boudoir photographer! I'm scheduling sessions for September and November. November is a perfect time to get your man's holiday or Valentine's gift ready!!

Sessions are tasteful and discreet. My make-up and hair godessses will make you model ready and we'll have a fun session complete with some bubbly to celebrate. And I have a new sexy black on black damask background being delivered any day now! Call me today!!

Oil Spill reaches Long Beach and Pass Christian, MS

Well, I knew it would happen - but somehow held some hope that the oil would never reach our beaches.

I chose to move back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast because I grew up here. I love the beach and the pelicans. I love the calm surf and the serenity of the drive along highway 90. And now, I'm not sure what will become of our beaches.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the area five years ago. Things are still not the same. But the Coast was bouncing back, little by little. Surely we do not need another setback. Surely we could be spared another catastrophe - this time it wasn't mother nature, but humans to blame.

Oil has landed on the beach along South Mississippi. Our birds and sealife are in grave danger.

As I drove along the beach on Thursday I saw clean-up crews in Long Beach. I stopped to take some photos. On my way home, I stopped in Pass Christian and photographed the oil there.

Keep the Gulf Coast in your thoughts. Do what you can to help. Visit the lovely area and show your support!!









The following were taken in Pass Christian, MS near Menge Ave.

Published in the July issue of Parents Magazine! Nathan's Story.

To know Nathan, is to know a real tough young man. Nathan was born with a congenital heart defect. As a very young child he endured multiple heart surgeries, only to learn he also suffered from Congenital Kyphosis. Which meant more surgeries. You wouldn't know it by looking at him. He's full of life and courage. we could all learn a valuable lesson by knowing his story, Nathan's Prayer.

His mother, Karen, is a talented writer, hoping to one day publish their story. Until then, Parent's magazine chose to share some of their story in the July 2010 edition of the magazine. Find the story online here.

You can imagine how honored I was to take photographs for the magazine article, and I'm excited to share them here! Pick up your copy today!


South Mississippi Engagement Photos - Nikki and Daron

Oh, my poor neglected blog. It's ironic really - when I have lots of sessions, I have lots of fun stuff to blog - but no time to blog it! I'm really working on getting caught up, and hope to post some really great things soon, I have 4-5 weddings, a bunch of engagements, even some steamy boudoir photos.

Nikki and Daron are getting married this October in Ocean Springs. They are a fabulous couple and I'm so excited to be a part of their big celebration. AND many of my brides and clients may recognize Nikki! That's right, she's my fabulously talented hair and make-up diva! If anyone needs wedding day hair and make-up, email me for her number. She'll have you looking like a goddess in no time (okay, maybe about an hour). Also, she just joined Salon H, a new salon and spa in Bay. St. Louis! Check them out!

Attention iPhone users!!

You can now view my entire Tilley Photography website on your iPhone! While my blog is 100% iPhone friendly, I chose to use Flash for my website, making it difficult for iPhone users to see the portfolio and pricing site from thier phones.

Well guess what! Cloud Browse has the solution! It's a new iPhone app that allows you to view Flash sites on your iPhone!



You can read more about this new app on the DWF Blog!

YAY!!!!

It's that time folks! Vote for the couple you want to win FREE wedding photography. View contest details here.

We had our mini sessions during the past week or two. Both couples are really fun and also great people - so I'm glad it's not up to me! They both deserve to win in my eyes! But the decision is up to you!

Every person gets two votes. One on the blog, and one on my Facebook Page. You *must* be a fan of Tilley Photography's facebook page for your vote to count (it's called "Like" instead of fan now). I will be going back and checking, so when leaving a comment, you must use your facebook name. Leave a comment below and use either the couples names, or their couple number (1 or 2). Voting ends at noon on Friday, May 14th.

Yes, both grooms are named Ryan, so be sure to specify which couple :)

Couple #2 - Jennifer and Ryan, also currently from the Ocean springs area, getting married at the Old Place (La Maison) in Gautier, Mississippi






Good luck everyone!!!
