Pamper Spa and Fun Photo shoots | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

Today was fun. I did my first “commercial” shoot working with a local mobile spa called Pamper. They have a cool Mobile app!

All you have to do is download the app, book the service you want and they will come to you! I’m excited to not only be working with them in the way of marketing photos but also to add their services to some of my own promotions, including two special announcements in the video below. So watch the video to find out more!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!

P.S. One of my favorite shots from today…

Tushy Tuesday | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

It’s Tushy Tuesday time and this week I thought I would have a little fun with it and highlight today’s feature with a video! I’m going to let it explain everything since I took the time to shoot it last week in our San Jose portrait studio, so sit back and relax… oh and did I mention that I really don’t like being on video? Hahaha. You’ll see at the end. 😉

Tushy Tuesday | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photo Shoot

Yeah, I have been slacking on the Tushy Tuesdays, please forgive me. I am hoping that this sexy tush will make up for it. She got this adorable garter belt skirt from Besos in Los Gatos. It has the matching bra too, which isn’t so important in this shot but comes into play in others! Luckily you’ll get to see more of this fabulous bridal session soon and this will be one grooms gift that he will remember forever!!! Lucky dog!

Oh, and next week I’ll be doing a fun little twist on the Tushy Tuesday so be sure to check back. 🙂

Makeup Monday

Smashbox primer water

Smashbox Primer Water

Good morning lovelies!!!! Mari here bringing this weeks makeup Monday. Today I wanted to discuss one of my new faves!!!! Here’s a makeup artist secret which is totally affordable too!!! Living in the Bay Area we know we must be ready for a sudden change in weather pretty often, hot sunny San Jose days or chilly foggy San Francisco nights! One way of keeping your makeup beautiful is with the new Smashbox primer water!!!! It’s amazing!!! Use it under makeup to prime the skin and then over your finished makeup as a setting spray. This is an awesome alternative to traditional primer which can feel to oily or have too much slip on the skin. Primer water will help seal in your beautiful makeup while refreshing and giving electrolytes to the skin. Perfect for long work days, weddings and of course your Boudoir Coterie photo session! Check out this product inside Macy’s or Nordstrom here in San Jose or the Smashbox website which I linked. Hope you enjoy it and send in any of your personal feedback on it!

Stay Beautiful!!! Xoxo Mari with Dolled Up Services

No Excuses! | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Finally!

Early last year I had a few ideas for some promo videos. Unfortunately they have sat on the back burner for months and months. Finally, just over a week ago I realized that now was the time and I had the perfect person for my first shoot. I gave a past client, Miss F a call. It has been a year since she graced my studio but she had given me a full release and I figured she might be game. I pitched her my idea and what it would require from her(you’ll see), she laughed, paused and then agreed. Yay! We got together at the Boudoir Coterie San Jose Studio on Tuesday morning and with the help of my lovely assistant, Devon, shot everything we needed to make this happen. Of course the artist in me kept thinking of so many more things I could have done with this during the creation process but I am pretty dang thrilled with how it turned out!

This is the first video from my “No Excuses” campaign which will address some of the reasons I hear from women as to why they “can’t” book.

Can you guess what this video is addressing? Hahaha

So without further adieu, my video promo debut!

If you guessed nerves or embarrassment then you win! Yeah, so you don’t actually win anything but the satisfaction of being correct. Go ahead and give yourself a high five, smarty pants!
And now, click HERE and book yourself a session! I promise it will be just as fun as in the video and no, you won’t fall. That was totally staged, and she did a fantastic job at it, don’t you think!? Haha.
