Offer good through Cyber Monday– or until sessions sell out!
Welcome to another installment of Tushy Tuesday.
Today we have a sweet and sexy image of the lovely Miss L. It reminds me of a lazy warm summer Sunday morning. However, today I am cold and even have my cozy blanket wrapped around my legs. I’m not complaining but I kind of want to hand her a warm flannel sheet. Hahaha.
Have a wonderful week and Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🙂
P.S. I am thankful for so many amazing clients who are willing to brave their insecurities, brush of that inner voice stating “when I lose 10 more lbs” and trust me behind the camera. I am also very thankful that so many allow me to show off their gorgeous images!
 The pages of this blog are often filled with all kinds of gorgeous lingerie, but this is the time of year when my appreciation grows for straight-up cozy pajamas.
My husband and I left for Hawaii on November 3, which was just a few days after Halloween and was also the day we turned the clocks back. Apparently while we were gone all of the Christmas elves were out and it became full-on holiday season. It’s time for Christmas music, holiday lights, and red cups at Starbucks. It’s also this time of year that my 87-year-old Grammy starts pestering everyone in the family for a Christmas list.
I’ve been making Christmas lists for Grammy ever since I was old enough to circle stuff in a catalogue. As a kid I loved making the annual Christmas list. Grammy loves gift-giving more than anyone I know, and she always bought everything on my list. As an adult it’s a bit more troubling. What’s reasonable to ask for? What stores are in a ten-mile radius of her house? What can she buy on QVC?
Each year it seems like pajamas always make the list. Gap Body and Victoria’s Secret are usually the winners since Grammy has both stores nearby and the prices are fairly reasonable. While pajamas feel like a kind of generic grandma gift, I love getting them. They’re not something I typically buy for myself, and having a brand-new pair of Christmas pajamas makes me feel like a kid again.
Here are a few favorites I found while browsing for my Christmas list this year. A couple of these are a bit more of a splurge (I’m talking to you gorgeous and cozy Anthropologie robe!), which I won’t be asking Grammy for, but it’s always fun to dream isn’t it?
The flannel slip was actually on my Christmas list last year and I love it. While it seems like an impractical piece of clothing (kind of like that short-sleeved pea coat I own), it’s perfect for Northern California nights. It reminds me of the soft and cozy like the flannel pajamas I had as a kid growing up on the chilly East Coast, but isn’t too hot, and is much cuter.
This year, I’m going with the Fireside Thermal Sleep-Shirt from Victoria’s Secret. I like the idea of being warm and cozy on top, but my legs always get hot in bed, so it’s perfect.
What are your favorite cozy PJs?

Have you squeezed a Tushy today?
I thought I’d invite a guy along in today’s Tushy Tuesday. Hahaha. I’m not sure who’s luckier, him, or her?
Now since this is a couple shot I would like to offer a special discount on a couples shoot. Normally there is an additional $200 added to couples sessions do all the extras that go into a couples shoot however if you mention this blog post, I will waive that fee! This offer is good until Nov 30. Wouldn’t this be the coolest joint gift for Christmas? It would definitely make Santa blush. 😉
I also want to remind everyone of our Mini Beauty sessions. Spaces are limited. I have never run a special like this and it will not likely happen again so get it while you can!
And of course, enjoy your Tushy Tuesday!

Ladies, today we’re talking underwear!
You know how they (whoever they are?) always say that you should get rid of anything in your closet that you haven’t worn in over a year? Well, I’ve been really trying to abide by that lately, and it’s definitely a challenge. Even though the walk-in closet I share with my husband is big enough to be a small bedroom in Manhattan, it’s pretty small by California standards, and I’ve filled it up rather quickly.
I’ve also been trying to apply the same rules to my bureau. The other day I decided to dump out my lingerie/underwear drawer and tossed all of the items that needed to be retired. When all was said and done, I realized I needed to buy some new underwear, so off to Target I went!
I guess you’re probably starting to wonder where I’m going with this, but I just like to provide a little back story. It adds color. The fun part is coming up!
When you’re preparing for a boudoir photo session, or looking to buy something a little more exciting than a four-pack of Hanes, Target might not be the first store to come to mind, but they have some really pretty lingerie.
I was mostly in the market for every-day practical panties, but when I found this Gilligan & O’Malley thong, I had to throw in something special. Turns out, not only is it super cute, but also might just be comfortable enough for every-day practical too.
The material is extremely soft and the lace details make it super feminine. Check out how the lace goes all the way across the top of the back. Gorgeous! And the best part? These underwear are only $5 each, or five for $20. I just got the purple color on the bottom left, but at that price, I might have to go back and get some more.
Are you brave enough to rock this feminine and sexy thong for a tushy shot? Give us a call today for a complimentray consultation in our San Jose studio.

Tushy Tuesday Anyone?
This lovely tush comes from a fabulous client who gave her husband a sexy Birthday gift. I love the pop of red from her classic black patent leather stiletto. Gorgeous!
Happy Tushy Tuesday everyone!
Beauty Mini Portrait Sessions
I have often been asked if I will do head shots. I haven’t done them in the past because of the amount of time and expenses that goes into such a short session. However I have teamed up with my amazing makeup Artist, Moni, and we have designated two days only for you ladies to do a mini portrait session. You can wear that favorite dress or gown, go casual, or keep it for business head shots. It’s completely up to you but now you have no more excuses to not have some stunning images taken!
Sessions are limited so call today to reserve your ideal time.
