Tushy Tuesday | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

It has been a crazy day… amazing client reveal first thing in the morning. She loved her images and I will admit she looked fabulous! Then I spent 3 hours at the bank dealing with fraud on my account. Some evil doer attempted to steal $2000 from my business with an online transfer. The good news, I didn’t lose money. The bad news is that I had to close and reopen all new accounts which means losing some of the awesome perks that I used to have but no longer exist. πŸ™ But enough of all that, it’s Tushy Tuesday so let check out a tush!

That Lane is one luck man. πŸ˜‰

Happy Accidents

We’ve all had them… that “Oops…Oh hey wait, that works!” That’s what happened with this shot, just as I went to click the shutter I moved the camera just a tad and got this sun flare. I did that little cuss in my head but was happily surprised when I started culling this sessions images. The sun flare made this nice circular frame around her tushy and I don’t even mind the few random spots. It’s almost like you can hear the angels sing… hahaha.  πŸ˜‰

Do You Pin? | San Jose Sexy Boudoir Photography

Pinterest, that wonderfully, evil, inspirational time suck. If you haven’t jumped on board you are either smart or missing out. Haha.

I love it and although I have been REALLY good about keeping it for business and posing inspiration I have noticed a few crafty things slipping into my boards, and I am sure more awesomey goodness will makes it way in, especially with Halloween right around the corner– it’s my favorite holiday, right next to Christmas, seriously they are kinda tied for the bestest most awesomest holidays in my books. I wonder how many words I made up in that last paragraph? But I digress…

I have many boards started and categorize mine by set… standing, sitting, bed, etc… this helps me with new ideas when flow posing.

I encourage clients who are also Pinterest users to start an inspiration board. It doesn’t matter where they find the images as long as they are images they love– meaning they do not have to be from my website but that is always a bonus. Hahaha. Actually I think it’s kind of cool when I see images posted from fellow photographers that I know personally, heck I post their images too! I even pull up Pinterest boards while clients are getting beautified. It helps me get into a creative zone and it inspires me to try new things in a shoot. I don’t copy images outright but I may try a pose or an element from a pose. I also look at body types and what poses might work for different clients. For example, we once tried this pose of J-Lo only to discover that girlfriend must have some very long legs, or a short torso or something because it just didn’t work… but it did make for a lot of laughs. πŸ˜‰

So there you have it, yet another inspirational way to use this amazing site– Boudoir. So do you use Pinterest? Would you use it for shoot inspiration? I believe they now have private boards so really there is no excuse. And yes we can pull it up during your shoot!

So go ahead, be inspired by sexiness. Pinterest isn’t just for recipes, kid crafts and home improvement anymore. *wink, wink*

Ready to put that inspiration to good use? Contact us today and I promise I will make you worthy of being pinned(even if they will never actually make it online). πŸ™‚

P.S. Of course you may pin from this site!

San Francisco’s Ultimate Women’s Expo | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Oh look, it’s all about me. Awkward.

Boudoir Coterie

I am so excited to announce that not only will Boudoir Coterie be attending the SF Ultimate Women’s Expo, I will be getting up and speaking. Like, onstage. Just me. In front of everyone. By myself. What have I done!?

Okay in all seriousness, I am probably more nervous that no one will actually come and listen to me speak(except a handful of friends who have already expressed their support, YAY! At least some seats will be full) than I am about being on stage. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty sure my heart will be in my throat for the first couple of minutes but the truth is, I really don’t mind public speaking or being onstage.  Not a shocker that I am no wall flower, huh? Ha! However this will be my first time doing so and talking all about me. <— THAT is nerve wracking. I kinda think most people will be a bit more excited to hear Joan Rivers and Niecy Nash, but thankfully they aren’t speaking when I am. Phewf. I am not going to go into all the details of what I will be speaking about but it will be some form of elaboration about my life, my disease, some stories and ultimately– how I ended up with my own boudoir photography business. πŸ™‚ Side note: “Disease” sounds so harsh, like it’s contagious… reminds me that I once had a boyfriend ask me if Arthritis was contagious because his hands felt achy. Dumbass.

You can read my seminar description HERE. As of today, I am the second one down or scroll to the date: Saturday Oct 5th at 11:30 am. EEK, first thing in the morning. Yikes!

Okay, so more fun info… my lovely assistants Regina and Nicole along with this years Signature Coterie Girl, Kristina, will all be joining me in the booth. I am so thankful to have them all with me and they will be there to help answer any questions you might all have. P.S. They are all past clients so they have some inside knowledge. πŸ˜‰ I will have show only booking specials and a take away card with booking specials for those who are unable to book at the show. This card will be good until Dec 31st. So you will definitely want to come by the booth. We are in BOOTH 532, which is almost show center, middle aisle!

Oh hey, did I mention that there will be a drawing for a 30 minute White Sheet session? If you want the details you will have to come and see us! Sneaky, huh?

And lastly, I will be giving away 5 Free Tickets good for Expo entry for TWO people each. All you have to do is leave a blog comment by Monday Sept 23rd when I will randomly draw the names from all entrants. I will post the winners on the next Tushy Tuesday post.

Alright, now I must get back to writing my presentation and designing my booth. Trying not to stress out. It will be an amazing event, full of fun and shopping so please come by and say hello! I just hope I will get some time to do a little shopping myself. πŸ˜‰

Tushy Tuesday | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Cute bum shots, I think every client wants them. πŸ™‚

So I have a friend… okay, so I actually have more than just one friend *snicker* but this friend  in particular that I am speaking of today, is a fantastic boudoir photographer up in Denver Colorado. Her name is Brooke and she is the owner of Brooke Summer Photography. She started a feature a while back called Tushy Tuesday where every Tuesday she features a cute tushy on her blog. Yup a post about bums. Haha.

I think this is a cute idea and I am going to join in on the fun. So here is our first ever Tushy Tuesday feature. The lovely Miss L and her adorable satin bow pink panties.

Happy “Tushy” Tuesday Everyone!

Now get out there and shake that thing. πŸ˜‰

Embrace Your Curves | San Jose Bay Boudoir Photography

Okay, so I will admit that I may have a few curves that I wish were in a few different places BUT that doesn’t stop me from loving my body and it certainly didn’t stop me from getting in front of the camera myself a few months back. Sure it would be fantastic if my boobs were bigger than my belly but hey, it is what it is. LOL. My point, lovely ladies, is that I know curves and I definitely do not shy away from them in the studio and neither should you. It really truly does not matter what size you are, every woman deserves to feel beautiful and sexy at any size and a pampering Beauty or Boudoir session at Boudoir Coterie can do just that!

I hear all the time “I will book as soon as I loose 10 pounds.” or “I would love too but I feel too fat right now” Ummmm? Sexy is a state of mind and your weight shouldn’t stop you from feeling fantastic. I have photographed many a lady who felt they could stand to loose a few pounds, and you know what, they LOVED their images and they got to see what I see in them, a beautiful girl who’s “size” doesn’t mean a thing! One of my good friends Miss A(and HERE)still, after two years, raves about her images and I want you to feel that great too!

So here are a few tips to having a successful session at ANY size.

  1. Make sure it fits! I offer wardrobe consultations for all my clients. There is nothing worse than bring lingerie that doesn’t fit. You won’t feel good and quite frankly you won’t look so hot either. Ignore the size, it’s just a number(or letter) and buy what looks and feels right.
  2. Wear what you love. We all have outfits that make us feel fabulous so make sure to bring items that make you feel like a superstar. Anything can look sexy, so bring that dress or favorite blouse and own it!
  3. Purchase items that flatter your figure. It might not seem fair but bra’s come in different sizes and shapes for a reason so be sure to try on items that work with your body type. Not sure what the right shape is? The owners of both Besos, in Los Gatos–Gail and Curvy Girl, in Willow Glenn– Chrystal, know their stuff! Both lingerie stores carry a variety of items and between them and myself, we will have you looking smoking hot!!
  4. Stay away from flashy trends. There are many sexy and cute lingerie items that go fabulously in the bedroom but I will be frank– don’t photograph as well and can sometimes look cheap in your images. Florescent bright colors, glittery and apron cuts may be cute and trendy and get his motor going but after spending $$$ on your images, I don’t want you shaking your head and asking “What was I thinking?” 10 years down the road. Think Hollywood Starlet, clean lines, flattering cuts, blacks and rich & mono tones.
  5. Don’t be afraid to mask some areas. I get it, I do. You really don’t want a bare mid-drift, then don’t bare it! Maybe wear a sexy corset or bring a sheer shall. There are many ways to be sexy and beautiful and still diminish those areas that no matter what, you can’t help but feel a little insecure about. Believe me, images taken by a photographer who specializes in Boudoir such as myself, knows lots of posing magic. πŸ˜‰
  6. Most of all relax, let go and have fun.

Here’s the beautiful Miss N rocking a gorgeous corset in true Hollywood fashion. She’s got amazing curves, chose fabulous outfits for her session and these images will remain timeless.

Way to work it Miss N!
