It’s getting a bit chilly outside. I LOVE IT!! When that happens there are certain favorite fabrics that come to mind for everyone. For me, my favorite has always been and will always be VELVET. It’s soft to the touch, flattering on the form and toasty during a frosty night. Even a trim of the alluring fabric sends the imagination soaring. The wonderful thing is I am not the only one who thinks it’s time to roll out the velvet. In fact, Victoria’s Secret has the best collections in this material. They have also dedicated an entire section under Victoria’s Secret Fashion Hub that illuminates this trend in so many diverse ways. Here are some of my personal picks from their Velvet Collections…

Sizzling Steampunk

It’s October, so that means it’s time for Halloween! There’s still time to choose what you want to wear to the party of the year. But this blog is about what to wear after the party when you want to do some trick or treating in the boudoir. One of my favorite ideas is SteamPunk!! What’s steampunk you ask?

dec_border

 

Steampunk is a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction. In other words, it is the most badass costume idea since the Gothic Vampire. From head to toe, you are transformed into a fine Industrial Lady with a bit of battle in her and a lot of elegance from a very different era. Here are some of the most exceptional examples of this timeless and daring fashion choice.dec_border

Hats/Head Dresses

Mask/Goggles

Jewelry/Gloves

Fans/Parasols

dec_border

Lingerie/Bolero

dec_border

Corsets/Intricate Bodices

dec_border

Skirts/Garters/Stockings

Shoes/Boots

dec_border

Halloween is about being the most unique character and having fun doing it. It doesn’t always have to be spooky or gory. It can be leather clad, metal trimmed, doused in lovely lace, and uniquely mechanical.

 

So if you decide on this lively vintage look you will be the invention of a science fiction dream. No matter where the party takes you to have a safe trick or treat

(adult style, wink wink)!

The F Words of Fall Fashion Friday | San Jose Boudoir Photography

dec_border

FALL IS FINALLY HERE!! I know I’m not the only one excited about unpacking all my fall fashions. With all the right boots, jackets, furs, hats, dresses, and scarves you are set for a fantastic season. But today I have something better in mind. What better way to start than what goes underneath all the wardrobe and what comes out in the boudoir.

 

 

 

For this Fashion Friday Fall edition, we will be exploring the F’s of this fun season. They’re colors, fabrics, emotions, and nature. Each individual word holds a special meaning to everyone and evokes different images. These are the images and thoughts that come to my mind.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

Fuschia is the hottest fall color this year and for all the right reasons. It’s colorful and vibrant with a bold attitude all its own. Though it is a risky color it is worth how it makes every one of your features the center of your lover’s world. Whether head to toe or just a dash, it’s a color that brings out a passion other colors forgot even existed.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floral patterns are not exclusive to flowers or even a warmer season. It is the natural beauty falling delicately from the trees after the emerald leaves have become golden. It is the lone blossom which refuses the autumn change. Let the deeper more enchanting hues inspire your best self. Let that spirit guide you when you choose the perfect floral lingerie for the boudoir.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have an inner sexy that sores above any woman you know. There are many materials to express this part of you, but feathers are always best. Feathers are an erotic gesture meant to tickle the fancy and always leave them wanting more. So feel free as a bird to wear a simple trim or all over the body. No matter the amount the allure is unchanged.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

 

Fierce is the feeling you get when you know you’re in control. It’s the pussycat in you aching to let the leopard come out and play. Knowing the sound of the leather stretching on your body as you bend him to you makes him break a sweat. This is a powerful word that requires a powerful outfit matched with a fearless attitude.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And leather is not the only way to evoke that inner rocker chick. Fishnet is my favorite fabric for the fiercest look. The eyes go wild with how very revealing it is. The texture is sensual, like fur it provokes a similar sensation. Comfort is always guaranteed as it moves with every twist. Feel vulnerable, unstoppable and just a little nasty all at the same time.

dec_border

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fantasy comes in many forms. It comes in whatever form your heart desires most. For your lover, you can be a superhero, a belly dancer commanded by the king, a warrior princess, or even a brocade beauty waiting ready for her Lord. It is all about the character it brings out in you, for in a fantasy you are never yourself but always out of this world. Use that when you find an outfit that brings out the unreal you.

dec_border

 

Of course, I must end the best with the last. Savage X by FENTY!! The newest, absolutely hottest must-have lingerie brand of Fall 2018 by singer, actress, makeup and fashion mogul Rhianna Fenty!! My girl RiRi is on FIRE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These looks undoubtedly encompass all the F Words of Fall Fashion! These masterfully designed works of art from Fenty closed off New York Fashion Week a month ago and are still the unending talk of the world. The collection represents every woman, every curve, every color, and every unique attribute that makes a woman everything she desires in herself.

dec_border

 

 

 

No matter the word chosen, make sure to embody it. Who cares what it means to everyone else. It only matters what it means to you because you are the only you who knows your desires. Have a splendid equinox filled with fun.

Facing Breast Cancer Head On

Last year as I was scrolling through my FB feed while sipping my morning tea I came across a post from a friend where she was bravely sharing her breast cancer diagnoses and upcoming mastectomy. My heart broke for her, for her family and her two young boys. My immediate thought, as strange as this may seem to some, was that she needed me now more than ever… to take her pictures. Ha! To be fair, she has expressed interest numerous times so when I contacted her later that morning, it wasn’t completely out of the blue. With the whirlwind that had just become her life, she agreed that now was the time and so we got the ball rolling on this very meaningful session.

You see, this was not my first pre-mastectomy client. I have been witness to more than one beautiful and courageous woman who wanted to teasure her body the way it was. Time brings changes in many ways but often we are not given a choice on what is to come, it is these times when we must stay strong, encouraging and do what we can to uplift others. My gift is with the camera and crafting beautiful, pretty, sensual and sexy photos for every women who graces my studio. Miss M was no expetion. She transformed from this sweet, soft spoken mom to a gorgeous, bold and sensual woman and thus, she has allowed me to not only share her images but a bit of her story and for this I am grateful.

From the lovely Miss M…

“A month before the shoot I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I decided to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. I knew my body would never be the same and I wanted to have a positive memory of my body. I also wanted to do something special for my husband. I’m so happy I went through with the photo shoot. Danea made me feel so comfortable from the beginning to the very end. My hair and makeup were both perfect.I knew that no matter the outcome of the surgery, I am beautiful no matter what. I am normally pretty modest and shy so I was surprised at how confident and empowered I felt AFTER the shoot! I’m now 5 months post surgery and cancer free. Thank you Danea for not only making me look beautiful but for making me FEEL beautiful.”

Summer Inside | Best Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

Bring The Sizzle Inside

 

 

Boy, is it hot out there! And you’ve been spending all day baking in the sun. That’s why it’s time to take the date inside. That’s when the night gets even hotter. What better way to make your lover break a sweat than with the perfect lingerie. Since it is such a bright time only bright beautiful colors will do. Start with all the colors of the rainbow and let the summery hues inspire you. So crank that AC and make the season come alive indoors.

dec_border

 

White

 

 

 

Divinely simple and always exquisite. A hue that brightens and softens all in one elegant entrance. Though white is often associated with the Winter season, with snow that sparkles like crystals, it is also a color that invokes the hue of summer.

dec_border

 

   Yellow

 

 

 

 

The flowers are in bloom and the sun is pouring in warmth and light. Oh no, I’m not talking about outside. I’m talking about Yellow and how it brings that exact summer sensation right into the favorite room in the place.

dec_border

 

Orange

 

 

 

 

Think of an adventure under a setting sun and the colors it produces. As the sun sets those yellows sometimes turn to orange. Those moments are the most romantic. That same romance can be worn as you radiate with the beauty of a Tuscan sunset.

dec_border

 

Pink

 

 

 

 

Another color a sunset often has are bursts of pink streaking through. On occasion, it encompasses the entire sky. Those are the sunsets that are the most passionate. Who wouldn’t want to wear the color of passion for a night destined to be filled with plenty of it?

dec_border

 

Purple

 

 

 

 

A regal yet relaxed statement may seem an odd combination at first, yes. But on a perfect summer night with a glass of wine and your handsome prince, this lovely statement is not only simple to achieve it is an absolute must for a most successful evening.

dec_border

 

Blue

 

 

Another regal yet racy color is blue and with the various shades, the stunning possibilities are endless, timeless and without a season. Let it remind you of the water that cools our bodies and quenches our thirst. Make this the inspiration you take with you to every room in the place.

dec_border

 

Green

 

 

 

 

Nature may come inside for a naturally sexy night with a brilliant shade of green. From emerald to moss, the perfect lingerie can bring that sense of spirit as you awaken your inner desires. Entice him further as the essence of the garden comes to life in the boudoir.

dec_border

 

Red

 

 

 

 

Make his heart race with the hottest color of all. A sizzling summer like no other is waiting for your lover. Turn the flames up a little more with a sheer material that leaves nothing to the imagination. Why keep him guessing when you’ve already made his blood boil?

dec_border

 

Black

 

 

 

 

Though, why change something classic? Are all those bright colors not much to your liking? Are you more of a midnight person with a dark an daring side? Black is your color, Black is intense and exciting, and black is always here to stay. Embrace your Dark Side.

dec_border

 

 

It’s almost too hot to stay inside! How could anyone stay cool, even in air conditioning, with all these perfect boudoir looks? So if you’re looking to make your summer never ending no matter where you are, there’s lingerie for that.

Independence Never Looked So Good | Santa Clara Los Gatos Holiday Boudoir Photography

Happy July 4th!!

 

 

Independence Day is the day we celebrate stickin’ it to the King of England! Just like the other countries of the world that celebrate freedom, we wrap ourselves in our flag and blow things to smithereens. It’s also a day where the adventures seem endless. There is always somewhere to go and something to do on the 4th of July! So I guess the only question is, what do I wear? Here are some inspirational ideas that will make you one hell of a patriot.

dec_border

 

When thinking of what to put together always think red white and blue. It’s your freedom to wear whatever colors you want, but it’s always fun to show your pride loudly and proudly. And plus you can’t go wrong with this color combination. Leave it to a woman, Betsy Ross, to make sure our colors were going to always be fashionable for generations!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let your pride fly as freely as the flag and represent the U.S.A with class. Always feel free to celebrate how you like, but please party safely and enjoy celebrating the independence of our great country by watching a light show blowing up the sky! Have a Happy Independence Day!
