I'm working on improving my off-camera flash and so I took my husband up to the top of the hill in my neighborhood and grabbed a couple shots of him looking pretty awesome this evening :) He is the chief of Shavers Fork Fire Rescue in Snowshoe, WV. (and devastatingly handsome if I do say so myself) <3 <3 <3

Snowy Winter Engagement Session at Snowshoe Mountain, WV | Kirsten Boehmer Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:45:00 +0000

Shann and Drew chose the beautiful Snowshoe Mountain Resort in WV as the location for their beautiful snow-filled engagement session. This was the perfect choice since they are on the mountain every weekend. It turns out that we have tons of friends in common and yet had never met! Since then, I've seen them everywhere! I love that!! The other thing I love is the amazing compliments they gave me on their photos. It was my pleasure because I truly love what I do. So looking forward to photographing their wedding in March!! Want to see more? Find me on Facebook HERE

2012-2013 Senior Ambassador and Senior Model Application

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:49:00 +0000

Thank you for your interest in my Rockstar Senior Model Program! I have completely changed my model program for this year and can't WAIT to see what fun these next sessions will bring!

Some of the cool stuff I have planned this year:

1. One hour "how many outfits can we do in an hour?" shoots
2. School Spirit Contest
3. Themed shoots
4. Party Shoots with props and friends
5. A Posing Guide featuring my Models
6. A revealing party for the above pictures when the guide is complete
7. A Photo Safari (Wait 'til you hear what THIS entails!!)
8. Free Apple products (including iPads) for hitting certain levels!!

and I'm sure we'll think of more fun stuff to spend your points on because we're just cool like that!

So how do you get to be a part of all this fun and festivities? It all starts below, by filling out the application. If you are selected, (based mostly on where you go to school, what grade you're in, what activities you participate in and how awesome you are), you will receive a confirmation of interest. At that point, we'll set up a consultation to go over both sides of the points system that runs the Kirsten Boehmer Photography Rockstar Model Program. It's easy to earn points, and it's easy to spend points, but understanding how it works... not always so easy. And you'll need to bring a parent so that they understand what is involved as well. From there, if you are a good fit, we book your first session right then and there and start planning!

I have two levels of Models - My Rockstar Models and My Rockstar Ambassador Models. My Models have the chance to earn cash and products for simply referring other students to me for their photos. My Ambassadors are the "Faces" of Kirsten Boehmer Photography each year. This is a smaller, elite group of students who do more, and earn more - including cash, prizes, additional photoshoots, getting famous by being on my marketing materials and other cool awesomeness.

Before your shoot, you will receive guidance on planning your shoot to make it the absolute best it can be.

At your shoot, you will receive:
- The option of a makeup artist at a discounted rate
- Additional ideas/images to make sure we get exactly what we're looking for to market you as an amazing Model or Ambassador
- Advice, encouragement, and tips on posing and expression

After your shoot, you will receive:
- Your own website to show off your images, as well as making it ridiculously easy to track your referrals with zero effort!
- Images for Facebook, Tumbler, Pinterest, etc. to let the world see how you nailed your shoot
- 10% off your order on the day of your premiere
- Your face all over my marketing materials including my new Posing Guide
- Cold Hard Cash and points for every referral that comes in through you
- Bonus Points you can earn easily and spend on cool stuff like free photoshoots, free products and more!

- Plus more perks as they come along!

The groups of Rockstar Ambassadors are my A-List group and get the most benefits and opportunities. Ambassadors are generally kept under 10 people so that it's an easily managed group of fun teens from several different schools and so that you are one of the elite in your own school! Rockstar Senior Models are different from ambassadors and are limited to the first 25 students who have their senior sessions completed and sign up for the model program. Models earn a different level of rewards. This will be explained at your consultation. :)

I know you're thinking... what is this going to cost me?? That is where even more awesomeness comes in. It will cost you NO MORE than a regular shoot whether you pick one hour, or 3 hours!! AND you get the discount when ordering AND the opportunity to shoot several more times during the Spring and Summer Session for FREE, and earn cash, products and other badass prizes! We'll talk about all that and more at the consultation, but I knew you'd be wondering!

So decide if you think this is something for you, talk to a parent if you feel you need advice, fill out the application below if you think this will be a good fit for you ... and then sit back and start mentally planning your photo shoot! Even if I don't have room for you as an Ambassador during this session, it doesn't mean that I don't want to meet you and make you one of my Models. Chances are, if you do something cool that I have an idea for, we could still plan a pretty awesome photo shoot AND that might just put you in the front of the line for the next session I do!

Hurry - The first schools to fill up are always Pocahontas County High School and Tygart's Valley High School, since I'm right in Slatyfork! If you are from one of those schools, definitely get your application in asap!! You do not have to be local to my area! I have photographed students from schools up to 3 hours away and would love to have Models and Ambassadors from those schools too!

An ocean of love - A St. Pete Beach FL wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:51:00 +0000

Maggie and Matt met in Snowshoe, WV. She a Florida girl, he an Ohio guy. They were married in October at the Sirata Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach, FL. This wedding was especially meaningful to me because Maggie is my cousin, who I watched grow from a baby. Gotta say, the pressure was on, with this being a family wedding! I hope you all love the results: View in a new window

A Greenbrier Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:03:00 +0000

Erin and Brent were single, both at a friend's wedding reception. They were checking each other out in secret. Erin sent a friend over to scope out Brent's hand to see if there was a wedding ring on it or not. (There wasn't). Brent assumed someone as beautiful as Erin would have been there with a guy. (She wasn't). They met on the dancefloor that night and their lives would never be the same. It was fitting then, that their Greenbrier wedding would have a stunning wedding dance to bring it all full circle.

He tells me that he loves her eyes, her smile, that she is so laid back. He loves that she loves football and other sports so much. He loves that her mind is like a steel trap, and loves what an independent woman she is, as well as loving the way she loves her family.

She tells me that she loves how authentic and genuine he is. She loves his kindness, and his heart. She loves how smart he is, and his open mind. She swoons over his dimples and dark curly hair every time she sees them.

Love for them is cooking together on Sunday, watching football, tailgating at college games, watching True Blood, working out, going to happy hour, traveling and just dancing together in the kitchen.

Erin and Brent, I wish you endless years of happiness, love, fall ballgames, laughter, and cooking together, in-between your perfect kitchen dances... Congratulations on your wedding and thank you for letting me be the one to preserve the most important day of your lives together.

Matt + Maggie Engagement "Save The Date" video | WV Engagement + Wedding Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:24:00 +0000

Two lovebirds, two afternoons and over two thousand photos, met the rocking sounds of Queen's "Somebody to Love". The result was my very first (and hopefully not my last) Stop-Motion Save The Date announcement, telling in a couple minutes the story of the love between Matt - a Snowshoe mountain bike park crew member, and Maggie - an EMT with Shavers Fork Fire Rescue. Created entirely around the Silver Creek area of Snowshoe Mountain Resort in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. I hope you enjoy- I really love it.

Wedding Venue Interview | Nancy Nester at Snowshoe Mountain Resort | West Virginia Photographer Kirsten Boehmer

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 03:39:00 +0000

Today I'm starting the first in a series of interviews with fabulous vendors that you may want to be aware of when planning your wedding day!

The first one is the fabulous Nancy Nester from Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Nancy is a wedding specialist and she's darn good at what she does. Snowshoe is where I have made my home since 1996! My husband Shannon and I met while snowboarding at Snowshoe Mountain (little-known fact about my husband and I: we met while taking the chair lift up the mountain!!) and Nancy worked with us when we planned OUR wedding in 2007. Since I began shooting weddings, Nancy has been a wonderful friend, advocate, and business associate. I am beyond pleased to say that I will be photographing HER wedding, as she was recently engaged (on the slopes at Snowshoe)! Want to learn more about planning your wedding at Snowshoe? Read on!

How long have you been in the wedding business?

I have been in my role at Snowshoe for 4 ½ years. Prior to working at Snowshoe, I was with The Greenbrier resort for eight years and worked with several weddings a year there.

What inspired you to become a wedding specialist?

Working with weddings is a great mix of very detailed paperwork (contracts, billing, catering forms, reservations), interpersonal interactions, with a lot of creativity sprinkled in. I like to have a lot of variety in my work, and weddings never disappoint in that respect.

How long has Snowshoe been in business/ How long has it been a wedding venue?

Couples have been getting married at Snowshoe as long as the resort has existed, 36 years! However, weddings at Snowshoe have increased dramatically with the addition of beautiful St. Bernard Chapel in 2005. St. Bernard Chapel is a very unique Catholic church, in that it is open to couples of all faiths celebrating their wedding ceremonies.

What makes your venue unique?

The views are spectacular. St. Bernard Chapel is beautiful, such a perfect complement to our surroundings. The climate is great….summertime high temperatures rarely get above the low 80’s, and winter is an absolute wonderland. And there is so much for families and friends to enjoy, from golf to scenic chairlift rides to skiing and snowboarding.

What is your company’s philosophy when working with wedding couples?

The only surprises should be happy ones! I want to make sure that couples know the full spectrum of options, as well as the costs involved, as I would never want a couple to have an expense they had not budgeted for.

Tell us why you think Snowshoe is a popular choice for brides and grooms.

In addition to the natural beauty of Snowshoe, couples love the location. Snowshoe is located within a day’s drive of almost half of the US! Couples with families in Pennsylvania & North Carolina, Ohio & Virginia and points beyond find Snowshoe to be a great location to minimize drives and maximize their time together.

Is there a particular niche you target?

Due to our location, most of our weddings are destination weddings. The couples, their friends and families are most often traveling to Snowshoe for the wedding celebration.

How do you help couples customize their weddings?

It is important to take the time to answer questions and get to know couples, to help guide them to the products and services that are right for them. I believe that one of my most important roles is to help couples spend their money intelligently, so that they receive the most bang for their buck.

Need a vegetarian buffet dinner including vegan options, we’ve done it. Want the entire wedding party to do a “nuptial” run down the slopes right after your winter vows, we can arrange that! A pet-friendly accommodation so that Fido can attend as your ring bearer, we will find it. A deer and her fawns grazing in the distance during your reception…well, maybe we can’t guarantee everything, but that one will happen more often than not!

At what point in the planning process do you typically work with couples?

Usually from the time they become engaged, until the day of the wedding. Some couples, I have worked with for well over a year from our first conversation until their wedding. I have also worked with couples who have booked their wedding date just two weeks out.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your business?
I am continually blown away by the creativity of both couples and wedding professionals. From do-it-yourself hand-made, to jaw-dropping décor and floral arrangements by the pros, to the cakes…oh, the cakes!

Most amazing, though, are the moments captured by the incredible professional photographers. After the “big day” is over, after the gifts have been unwrapped, the thank-you’s written, the honeymoon over, you have two things: your marriage and your pictures.

Is there anything else you'd like to share... oh I don't know... about exciting new things happening in your life recently?? (*wink, wink*)

Hmmm, well, let’s see…oh yeah, I recently got engaged! :)

Shawn Owen Music | Snowshoe WV, Annapolis MD Photographer Kirsten Boehmer

Just wrapped up another shoot today for Shawn Owen's new album coming out soon. Shawn is a talented musician whose work has an awesome rootsy reggae vibe mixed with a Jack Johnson sort of thing happening. However you describe it, it's awesome. Me, being the massive reggae fan that I am, leaped at the chance to take the shoot we did a few weeks ago to the next level with some studio lit work. I had this concept in mind for a while and was stoked Shawn was up for the challenge.

This was done with some white seamless, three strobes, (one in a softbox, one in a shoot-thru umbrella, and one bare on a stand), two ladders, a whole mess of plastic and several assistants. I added a little tweaking of the color and contrast in post, but pretty much that's it. Set up took about an hour, the shoot itself took about 20 min and a long shower for Shawn.

Here's hoping this one makes the album cover in some form or another... Shawn's music will be premiering on my new website very soon as well!! I'll make an announcement about it when the new site goes live...
