Is Black Naughty or Nice? | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

If you haven’t already noticed, I have a thing for classic lingerie. I prefer it over hot pink, red, glitter and trendy pieces. Not that the other stuff doesn’t have a place in the bedroom, but for boudoir sessions I recomend more timeless pieces. Think Hollywood starlet’s from years gone by. My main argument for this is so you never look back at your images and think “what the heck was I wearing?” Nope, I want you to open your album 20 years from now and gush over your images as much as you did the first time you saw them. Today I’m having a little fun with black. Not only is it slimming and sexy, it can have some naughty undertones. I paired this set with some fun jewellery for a “tied up” sorta feel. A layered necklace and bracelet and a very flirty mask with a satin tie. Don’t forget that a simple prop can add some playfulness to your session. Hopefully this set will inspire some sexy black boudoir wardrobes.

Wrap Me In Black

Black get’s my vote for BOTH naughty  & nice… it’s whatever you want it to be.  😉 *Insert whip cracking sound here*

Wardrobe Inspiration | San Jose Boudoir Photography

Ok, so yeah, I have been a little MIA the past few weeks. I had foot surgery and have been recouping, wrapping up current clients and getting some business ducks in a row. I am happy to say that this *time off* (Hahahahahahahahahahha, time off, that’s a good one. *Snort*) will soon come to an end. April is officially booked but I do have May sessions still available so for those of you still on the fence, give me a call and we can meet at my San Jose Studio for a complimentary consult. I don’t pressure anyone to book, consults are simply a way for you to get to know myself, my products and how a session with me goes down. 😉

Bare It All… Or Not | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

What you wear for your boudoir session is up to you, feeling amazing afterwards is non negotiable.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… sexy has nothing to do with what you have on, but how you feel in what you have on, even if all you have on is your birthday suit!

Sexy is a frame of mind.

Anyone can rock sexy.

In the words of Justin Timberlake – ♪♫ “I’m bringing sexy back…”♫♪

You know how I know I’m bring sexy back? My clients tell me so. They tell me how amazing they look and feel. That’s how. And THAT is the best compliment I could ever receive… making someone feel so good about themselves.

Here’s another fabulous gal who rocked her sexy. I love me a good before and after, don’t you? 😉

Miss K really worked it and was clearly having a blast in front of the camera, we were constantly cracking up!

You don’t have to take your clothes off…

But I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 😉

Last October I shared THIS SESSION of the the gorgeous Miss A. She was the lovely lady that didn’t want a “typical” boudoir shoot. She wanted flirty, sexy and beautiful without taking too much off. However, she bravely brought this pretty little number which made me think she *might* be more willing that she’s admitting and sure enough, I was able to twist her rubber arm and had her slip into it for a few shots. We even pulled out that handy dandy fan for some playful pillow *cover girl* shots. Yowza, this momma is hot!

I love that for a girl who was so shy about the idea of doing an actual boudoir shoot, she really let go and trusted me completely. Thank you for that, Miss A! I truly hope we get a chance to work play together again. 😉

One last shot… I can’t help but think she has a Vanessa Williams vibe going on here, there’s just something about her expression that makes me see the resemblance.
