Step by step guide to rocking your boudoir session!

Step by step guide to rocking your boudoir session....   #1 Book your session minimum 2 months before you want your album...  (His birthday, your birthday, Christmas, Valentine's day)  While shoot and burn photographers are popping up everywhen and can "toss your pics on a USB or send you your digitals quickly" a professional photographer, may take a week or more sorting and editing and perfecting your images, before designing the layout of your book for your final approval.  Then after your approval there is production and shipping time If you have to make a few payments then you have ample time to break up your purchase into manageable smaller payments.   #2 What to wear! I swear to you this is not as complicated as you think!  Find a piece of lingerie that makes you feel emotionally comfortable as well as being flattering If you aren't sure at all what to wear.... literally a black, high cut (French cut) teddy or body suit... you just can't go ...

"Hot girl summer...."

I believe we are all "hot" when we are confident and living our best life! I want to inspire us all to love ourselves as we are! I hope you see the images below and see the beauty in all of our sizes shapes and body types! 

How to have a boudoir face everyday!

In boudoir photography, we look to achieve beautiful smooth, glowing skin! I have special lights, makeup artist, and some times a little editing to eek out that list ounce of beautiful!  Like many of you I am beginning to see the age in my face but still deal with occasional break outs! Of course we all want to take care of ourselves and feel the best we can. Not everyone can or wants to go to the salon for treatments or have injections! But how can you achieve this boudoir ready look at home! It all starts with skin care!  Healthy hydrated skin just glows better! Here are a few product that I use!

Erotica Vs. Boudoir

  For me,  erotica  is about the beauty of fantasy and engaging in people’s sexual fantasies for their own personal pleasure. My desire has been to create and produce elegant, tasteful and arousing images together with  erotic  stories, and an elegant  erotic  photography gallery that women and couples would find acceptable and pleasurable. Boudoir:  a woman's bedroom or private room. Erotica :   literature or art intended to arouse sexual desire. As you can see just from the definition of boudoir, it leaves so much to the imagination! As each one of us are different so will your boudoir experience! I decided to write this a while ago and just needed to define, for me, and this studio how we will separate boudoir from our erotica. As many of you know I am down for a fun shoot, but I want to always have clear upfront communications with my clients to ensure the best experience for you!  During a shoot I will pose you and or instruct you t...

Women should stop BECOMING empowered!

Right now, today!!!  This for years has been a pet peeve of mine... people tell me all the time "I" empower women... sorry but that  is sickening to me.  I do NOT empower any one.  that is not my focus or my point.   This is my mission I want to offer a safe place for women to give THEMSELVES permission...….  permission to accept themselves, to love themselves, to explore a part of their mind and embrace their beauty! It is a safe place for women to be.....  Machines are powered....  we can place a battery in it and give it power, take the batteries out and you remove the power. Plug in your coffee pot... power, unplug no power.  I DO NOT give anyone power or my power and that is why I say women should not be empowered.  Here is what I say instead...  RETAIN your power, do not replace your judgment for some one else!  Implying we can be empower implies that someone else has our power and can giv...

Self care is self love

I posed a question earlier in the week.... "What do you do for self care?" an alarming number of women do NOTHING for themselves! We work, take care of our families, our clients (trying to write this blog I have already stopped 3 times for something the kiddos need)  Why do we feel guilty, taking time for ourselves? Why do we feel guilty for doing things for ourselves?! We do NOT HAVE TO BE A MARTAR!!!! We do NOT have to sacrifice until it hurts... us!  Taking the time to do things for ourselves does not hurt our family!  If we do take time to do things for ourselves... we can not properly take care of others!  We buy a coffee and a "treat"... (5 mins of enjoyment)             at $5 a few times a week that adds up to $260 a year Or we go a few times a year to get our hair done.... ( a few weeks and it fades)           That could run you $900 a year Maybe you get your...
