Valentine Boudoir | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

Starting The New Year Right!

It’s been busy here behind the scenes and as we are getting ready to put 2011 behind us, I have taken some time to review the year. I decided to make some changes to our price menu by adding boudoir packages with the favorite products from past clients. By bundling the session, hair/makeup and products into one, we can save time on decisions so you can sit back and enjoy the experience worry free. PLUS, I can offer  some wonderful savings to you all and let’s face it, that’s always awesome! There will still be the option to add different products to your final order so you are sure to get all the items you like or you can stick with the option to go a la carte… whatever makes you happy. It’s a win-win for everyone!

January is shaping up to be a busy month already but I wanted to offer a Valentine’s Special to kick of the new year. Sweetheart photo sessions are very limited so I can guarantee delivery of all finished product by Feb 14th!

So come and enjoy some sexy pampering that will be sure to get those love kindles burning this Valentines Day!

Oh, I can’t forget… here’s a glimpse at the fabulous new “Elegance” frame added to our Boutique menu. This beauty is our special gift to included in the above Sweetheart Special! I’m in love. ♥

Launch Party | San Jose Boudoir Photography

The Studio Is Ready

Dec 2nd, we held our Boudoir Coterie photography studio launch party and it was so much fun! Thank you so much to all the wonderful ladies who attended, making the night a success! It’s always nice meeting new faces and sharing what I do. Guests sipped champagne, enjoyed cupcakes, mingled and even got to see a live demo, thanks to my very brave and beautiful friend Devon, who was willing to be my model for this mini boudoir shoot. What was even cooler(for me at least) was that another friend, Ramona, took some snapshots of everyone, including me in action. She managed to snap a few images that show my angle during the photo shoot and I can show the finished image- how cool is that!?

Here are a few finished boudoir images from that demo- now I will be honest I much prefer natural light and this was a night time, one light demo, slightly out of my comfort zone(not to mention I had a freakin’ audience…  not nerve wracking at all… hahaha). But in all seriousness, I had a blast! So again, THANK YOU to everyone who came… and especially to my amazing husband who put all the finishing touches on the studio the night before and to my wonderful assistant Hope, who helped pull the party together! ♥

Sweet Valentine: San Jose Boudoir Photographer

Valentine Boudoir

Boudoir Coterie Sexy Boudoir Photography

Yeah, I’m going there. As much as I hate holidays being promoted months in advance I really have no choice in the matter. Why? Because custom photo gifts take time. Our Luxe albums can take up to 4 weeks to have made once they are ordered. Add on the time from your session, editing and ordering and you could easily have a 6 week span. So if you are thinking about giving your sexy self to your Valentine this year via some amazing images, NOW is the time to book your custom session.

Oh and for being so smart and sexy for booking early, we will give you a complimentary gift- a Bedside 5×7 Metal Folio($100 value).

Call or email to start planning your fabulous boudoir session today!

Signature Coterie Girl- We Want YOU! | San Jose Boudoir Photography

I’m tingly with excitement!

Alright ladies now is your chance… and before you get all shy and bashful, just note that you don’t have to be a size two to rock the boudoir world. In my studio everyone is sexy and gorgeous, so take a deep breath and give it a shot(even if you’re not chosen you’ll get a sweet little gift just for being brave enough to try). 😉

Without further adieu…

Beautiful San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

So here’s a little more info and a recap of the details:

  • You MUST be at least 18 years of age.
  • There is no cash value for any prizes awarded.
  • You MUST be willing to sign a model release to use your images online, in print and in promotions.
  • You will NOT be asked to shoot nudes, it’s about your comfort level and we will NEVER cross that line.
  • You absolutely, positively need to be available for the test shoot on Jan 7th. No exceptions.
  • Past clients are more than welcome to enter, why the heck not, right!?
  • The three sessions will take place throughout the year and we will of course, work around your schedule. Please do  not enter if you are hesitant about this or know you will not be available to do three shoots during the 2012 calendar year.
  • Any referral credits you earn can go towards purchases you would like to make of images from your sessions or towards your own custom session at full price.
  • Voting will take place online. I am still looking for a blog poll option but it may happen using FB image “Likes”. I want something that restricts multiple votes from one person. 😉
  • You do not have to lose “that last 10-20lbs” to look fabulous… trust me, you look gorgeous just the way you are, right now!
  • We reserve the right to veto votes, and if need be, cancel the contest or void the chosen winner if circumstances change. But we don’t want to do anything negative so let’s keep this clean, fun and drama free ladies!
  • Feel free to share this with anyone you think might make the perfect Signature Coterie Girl… mother, daughter, sister, friend…
  • Send an email the includes one head shot and one full body shot, your name, and phone number and why you would make the perfect Coterie Girl to: bcoterie@sbcglobal.net. FB entries will not be accepted.

*** The question about what type of images are needed for submitting has been brought up. The answer is any sort of image that let’s me see what you look like, I don’t care if you have makeup on or not, are standing with your ex and his pet turtle, or wearing clown shoes. I just need to see what you look like, just an idea. Why does it not matter if it’s an awesome shot of yourself? Because ladies, I am going to take your picture and create gorgeous shots for the voting process. seriously all I need to see is facial features and body type. Easy peasy!

 If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask them here on this blog post comments section(found at the upper right of this post). I will respond here so that others who might have that same question can see the response also.

I am so excited about this and hope we receive lots of entries!

Good luck everyone!!
