What to Bring to a Boudoir Shoot?

Boudoir bookings are taking off!  I am optimistic about being one of the only female photographers in the area offering high quality, full service, beautiful boudoir photography. Every photo shoot has been a blast.  Being able to show women how absolutely gorgeous they truly are has been awesome.  Women are finally opening their eyes! I wanted to make a post about the biggest question I get: "What should I bring?".

First of all, come with just foundation if you have chosen to have a make-up artist lined up for you that day.  You can also choose to have someone do your hair with your package.

Bring something sexy that isn't necessarily lingerie.

Bring at least one set of matching lingerie.

If you don't have it, don't worry.

Not sure your man will ever notice if it matches or not.

 Jewelry and accessories are important.

They can really add dimension to your photos.

 Maybe a jersey...

 Or clothing of his.

Another great idea is something that has meaning to him.

 I've seen military gear, fire fighting gear, police hats, guitars, and even motorcycles.

A pair of heels and anything else that makes the shoot your own.

 Bring a pair of stockings and a garter.  I think it's one of the sexiest pulled together looks.  I just bought one the other day at Victoria's Secret on sale for just $6 so they are not expensive.

Keep in mind- I emphasize your assets and hide things that may not be.  I also offer to fully retouch all of the images you select for printing and your album so everything is shockingly beautiful.

If you have any other questions or would like to book your shoot, get in touch!

Hope to see you soon!

Erin's Boudiors

I've been waiting for quite some time to share these with my blog viewers. We were waiting until after she gave her groom his album as a gift on the day of their wedding. I had a blast with Erin. She was so excited to give such an awesome gift to the man of her dreams. Afterwards, she sent me the sweetest messages about how I made her feel so comfortable, but most importantly, BEAUTIFUL. I'm sure you'll agree on the beautiful part!!

A big thank you goes to Brandy who did Erin's hair and make-up for the day. Awesome job!

The month of November only, if you come in for boudoirs you will recieve $25 off your package price. If you bring a friend, you both will recieve $50 off your packages. The regular package is $250. Calendars are an awesome holiday present ladies! I'm also entertaining boudoir bachelorette parties. If you come in with 4-6 girls, the future bride gets her entire package for free. We'll have drinks, music, relax and have a ton of fun with hair, make-up and some hott photos!

Electric

I was shooting some boudoirs yesterday and I just had to post this shot. There's just something about it I love. Maybe not for her album, but I love it as an image by itself.What do you think?

Boudoirs Are Back!

Awe yeah. They are back again. More boudoirs. Unfortunately I'm not able to reveal her face and stunning eyes, but she is letting me post everything else in the photos. Call today to book a session and take advantage of the boudoir special!I thought this was a great idea.

Her eyes are KILLER in this shot and I think they make the photo, but at least you get the idea.

Emily's Boudoirs

Emily totally rocked this shoot. I'm constantly amazed by the beautiful images I capture, but to be honest, I think I have very little to do with it. It takes awesome clients with great personalities and gorgeousness to make beautiful images. I know I know, less typing and more boudoirs. Here are some of the shots she chose for her album...I love this next series of 3 photos taken on my living room floor.

This whip/feather toy was a bacholorette gift from Emily's sister. A pretty awesome prop and a great source of jokes!

Thanks girls for being so much fun, I'm really looking forward to Saturday!

Texas Hold 'Em

It's how we met for the first time. Over a deck of cards and a plastic cup of beer. I first met my husband at a Texas Hold 'Em game at his house. This weekend he took me to a cabin to get into a tornament. "It's pointless to play. I'm always one of the first ones out. It's just a waste of $25. Why don't you just play and I'll watch? I'm not that great at poker." 4 hours later, I was still in it. I ended up taking home the winnings of 3rd place out of about 68 people! Now my husband is jealous :)

Every post is better with a photo, so here is a sneak peek of some boudoirs I'm working on...

Happy Valentine's Day!

A few weeks ago I announced that I would be running a special on boudoir photos for Valentine's Day. I had only a handful of ladies sign up, so I have decided to do the special again next year as well, only start advertising in December, rather than mid-January. This should give everyone time to work out and go tanning- not that you're not already TOTALLY beautiful and your men (or women) love you just the way you are! It's also a great idea as an aniversary or Christmas present.

During this shoot we had so much fun. I was even able to get someone to come do professional make-up from Empire Beauty Schools. Joy was awesome to work with and I will be able to help her build her portfolio. Give me a shout if you want Joy's info to have your make-up (she even does hair) done for your wedding day, or for any photoshoot or occation for that matter.

This is Joy on the left.

I started with some bridal shots for Andrea, which she is planning on using later as a groom's gift for their wedding that I'm photographing in May.With this Valentien's special, the girls each got a 10 page (20 sided) 5x7 album that was amazing. The special also came with full retouching of the photos. For any horizontal photo, I split them and made 2 5x7s into a panoramic 7x10. I must say that it was a brilliant idea.

If you think these photos look good, you should see them prined out in the ablums! I'm so happy with the way everything turned out. I hope their guys like them just as much.
