Walk This Way

Boudoir Photography San Jose Bay area

Sunday I went shopping with a girlfriend to purchase a new birthday outfit for Saturday’s hot date with the hubby. I purchased a dress- something I don’t wear much of, mostly due to having a hard time finding pretty and sexy *flat* shoes. At the store we were shopping at I discovered Kitten Heal shoes- thanks Devon for giving them a name for me. 😉 I have rarely come across this style shoe while on my never ending hunt and sadly the one pair I liked did not have my size. Thus began my online search. I came upon Shoes.com and yes I managed to find lots of possible low heal options. However, like always, my not so secret longing to wear actual heals lead me to a line called Naughty Monkey- who could resit a name like that? Not I! Wow, do they have some fun and sexy shoes.

As I’ve said before, sexy heals are a must have for boudoir shoots. This doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on a one time wear. You can borrow from a friend or scour some online deals if heals are just not your thing. I am hoping to eventually start a collection of shoe options to offer clients but until then you can all gaze longingly, like I do, at some super hot heals here on my blog.

I will always be a sucker for animal prints and check out the heal design on that gray shoe- pure sparkly awesomeness! Many of these styles come in multiple colors and patterns so go check THESE out- you naughty little monkey you. 😉

P.S. How many of you started singing “Walk this way,talk this waaay… ♪♫ ♪” by Areosmith and Run DMC after reading that title? If not are ya now? Ha.

Let Me Work It

Redwood City Boudoir

I love me some before and after shots, and who doesn’t really? There’s something about seeing a lady transform into a beautiful and sexy woman! I remember being home sick from school and getting so excited when the talk shows were doing before and afters. Jenny Jones always seemed to have them- did I just date myself with that reference or what? Haha.

I also love it when clients allow me to show their true nakedness, and by this I don’t mean in the buff- well, not this time at least. Miss Pinky allowed a before shot and I want to share. Boudoir photography isn’t all about the makeup and clothes(but an awesome MUA can REALLY help- props to my girl Julie). A great boudoir photographer knows how to work it- angles, poses, lighting and just the right amount of digital enhancing. Yes, I soften skin but I don’t remove all signs of age. Pinky has gorgeous skin and personally I love the soft lines (I hate the terms crows feet) at the corner of the eyes. It shows laughter, life experience and yes, beauty. I won’t reveil her exact age but I will say that I can only hope to look this good in my 40’s. 😉

If you haven’t happened upon it, then I have to let you all know that I have officially posted my Elite Coterie Party packages. Parties are for 4-7 girls and can be  planned for any occasion! Bachelorette, birthdays, celebrating the completion of the last load of dirty laundry- you name it, we’ll plan it!

So get your girls together and enjoy this amazing experience. Each lady chooses their preferred package, the hostess and I work out all the details and everyone enjoys a personal boudoir shoot. It’s a win-win for everyone. Oh and did I mention that there are hostess perks? You REALLY want to be a hostess- trust me. When 5-7 girls book the hostess receives a complimentary package!!

Make your next gathering one to remember & party like it’s HOT!

Back On My Feet

San Jose Boudoir Photography

For the past two weeks I have been quite ill. What started as a sore throat, turned into the loss of my voice and a weekend in bed. Thankfully I am finally starting to get my energy back and can get some work done around here!

Before this virus kicked my butt I had been working on some marketing items. I created some very pretty gift certificates to hand out to a few local boutiques. I also got in touch with my crafty side and made this very lovely bouquet for Melanie at Dutchess Intimates Boutique. I have to admit I have quite enjoyed seeing it sit on the cabinet behind the dining room table since completing it and I will be a little sad to see it’s cheery blossoms leave our home.
