Midnight Magic Studios’ boudoir shoots aim to make women of all shapes and sizes feel glamorous, whether they’re stretched out on a posh bed or reclining on the sleek leather seats of a limousine. Photographer Leeann, who helms the studio with her husband, Don, specializes in making gals feel comfortable as they channel their inner sultry diva. With her relaxed demeanor and keen eye for capturing emotion, she elicits candid-looking poses and expressions rather than smiles held in place by duct tape. Leeann and Don collaborate with clients on each shoot to capture their preferred tone—from flirty sweetheart to smoldering temptress—whether it is a solo session, bridal-boudoir shoot, a Pin-Up Party for a group of friends, or a for-his-eyes-only gift for a spouse.

There are no waiters at Private Dinner Chef, but that doesn't mean guests lack personal attention—far from it. Instead, clients get the total attention of the chef from the moment they choose their menu until the moment they suddenly awake from their post-dinner nap. Before each meal, chefs visit local markets to get fresh ingredients for the dinner they'll be making that night. They know what to look for because diners select what their dinner will consist of in advance. The seven-course feast that follows might include steamed lobster in lemon butter sauce, boneless prime rib with a pepper-and-herb crust, or seared Atlantic salmon coated in red-pepper salsa. The meal takes place in a setting that's as sumptuous as the food: a private room within former bed-and-breakfast. Set amid dark wood is a fieldstone fireplace, in case someone has a letter they want to burn dramatically.

At Studio 102, photographer Randy Frank draws on 30 years of experience to tell his clients' stories through elegant images. His shutterbugs adjust the state-of-the-art lighting systems they use for fashion shoots to flatter each sitter's face and body, working to bring out individual personalities and disguise disgruntled second heads. An on-staff makeup artist and magazine-level retouching services also aid their efforts to capture clients at their best.

Many vendors offer special discounts available only on the day of the event, and all brides walk away with a gift bag and a chance to win a collection of elegant prizes.

Preacher and photographer Jim Eastin shares his passion for storytelling through Taking Better Photos classes and tours.

Photographers practice shooting, and Jim gives them tips on how to make a compelling photograph. For those who prefer to tour at their own pace, Jim’s tours are available on audio CD.
