Boudoir Must Haves

Sexy With Class | Palo Alto Boudoir Photographer

After months of gazing longingly at beautiful lingerie online, I will openly admit that I am truly in love with Aubade. They have such a classy fine detailed style. And this isn’t the first time I have drooled over their amazing artistry we call lingerie, you can see a past post HERE. Gorgeous and elegant, sexy and sweet. I fell in love with this collection of black and rose elegance. It’s so stunning and the color detail is amazing. The down side is the price tag however European styles are often worth every penny due to their quality and beautiful detailing. So imagine my excitement when I discovered that Chamelle28, a local lingerie store in Palo Alto- seriously close enough for all my Boudoir Coterie clients in San Jose and everyone else in the Bay Area to get to(*hint) carries fine European lingerie, including Aubade. *Swoon*

So if you get a chance to swing by, do so and see for yourself just how amazing this lingerie is! *Note that store selection will vary and I don’t know if they have this particular set and no I am not affiliated with Chamelle28… but that would be cool. 😉

 


 

Happy Friday Everyone… I’ll be relaxing a wee bit this weekend because I hired a contractor to do the drywalling in the studio and thus I won’t be spending the weekend in a panic about whether or not it will get done in time! hahaha.

Have a fabulous weekend and may you add a little sexiness in too… wait, I can help with that! Call me: 408.460.1855 or bcoterie@sbcglobal.net

She’s Got Legs | Santa Clara Boudoir Photographer

… and she DEFINITELY knows how to use them!

This session has been on my “to blog” list for way too long. So today is the day to show off this beautiful lady and her amazing legs and to also show that you don’t need fancy lingerie to look amazing. I have long said that you can easily rock what’s in your closet if you *think sexy*. This simple scoop neck top, sans bra, is smoking hot especially paired with plain black panties and amazing red shoes! It’s simple AND sexy. So go through your closet and see what you have, pair it up with some great shoes, legwarmers, cute panties or whatever might fit together and work it in front of the mirror to see how it looks. Give it a test run for that special someone if your not sure, then give me a call and we’ll capture your sexiness for both of you to enjoy for years to come. *Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.*

Thanks for the laughs Miss M, you look amazing!

Sweet & Sexy | San Jose Boudoir Portrait Photography

A few months back I had the honor of photographing this stunning gal. When I asked her if she had modeled before she admitted that she had not and thought she was not loved by the camera. What??? She was a total natural and we both had a chuckle when she confessed to practicing some facial expression in the mirror. To that I applaud her as I recomend this to my clients but few head my advice. Miss R nailed it, from coy to sex kitten she was throwing different looks at me and the camera was eating it up!

Last week we had a much anticipated meeting at a coffee shop so she could finally look through her gorgeous album. I love seeing a client’s reaction to how beautiful they look and the almost nervous giggles that they get while looking at sexy images of themselves. Miss R. had such a genuine, almost disbelief at how beautiful she is when she saw her images for the first time but seeing her album was even better. Heck, even I wanted to keep flipping through the pages! Hahaha. We parted with her having plans to gift her lucky man on the weekend… maybe. A few days later I received a lovely email from her with his reaction:

“Hi Danea,
I could not wait to give him the album, so I ended up giving in and giving it to him that day. I am so glad I didn’t wait. He absolutely loved the Album. He was so touched that I made him a gift. He couldn’t stop looking at the album. He really liked the close up picture of my rear end lol and the surf one. He kept reminding me through out the day how much he liked them and how the photos were really hot :)! I hope its okay that I used one of the photos as my profile picture on facebook. My mom loved the pictures I shared with her. She thought you did a fabulous job and she loved my hair and makeup. Thank you Danea for a wonderful and unforgettable experience! I felt so beautiful that day.  I really can not wait to do it again and bring a few of my girlfriends a long as well.
Gratefully yours,
Miss R.” -Yes, I changed her name as she doesn’t normally go be Miss R. 😉

 

So here is Miss R, looking hot. And what the heck, I’ve posted it before but let’s start with a Before & After for fun.

Peek-A-Boo Purple Boudoir | San Jose Glamour & Boudior Photographer

It’s no secret that I am partial to a seductive sexy and love, love, love sheer garments to accent beautiful lingerie. There is definitely something to be said for seduction and having pretty and feminine sweaters or blouses being worn without undergarments or with just a hint of a pretty bra and pantie set showing through, leaves the viewer wanting more. Plus, by layering such pretty fabrics and garments with matching accessories we have so many options for a gorgeous image series as we tease the viewer with a shoulder peek and remove items as we change poses- awesome for building anticipation in an album set! 😉

This post shows some gorgeous purple options. Adding a splash of color can add so much to a session especially if it is complimentary to your skin tone. The first set in this image is a lovely purple sheer sweater with a gorgeous neck line, worn only with a pretty lace pantie. To add some great texture it can be worn with a spicy stiletto like this hot black pair with feather accents and a chunky necklace that draws the eye to your neckline. The second set shows a purple bra and pantie worn under a sheer black blouse, again accented with a colorful pair of  heals and a beautiful hair flower. Heck, if purple is your color, you could easily wear both of these outfits for totally different looks but a very coordinated finish. Add a sexy black chemise or implied nude for a third outfit and you’re all set!

Dress For Success | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

A “successful” shoot that is.

I like to remind my clients to bring something that isn’t lingerie so we can get some gorgeous shots that she will want to share and won’t blush about(well she might blush a little with the amount of FB “Likes” and comments on her newly uploaded profile picture. Haha). In my last Polyvore fashion inspiration post I may have mentioned that I am not a huge fan of red lingerie. I hope I didn’t get anyones panties in a bunch over that. *snicker* It’s just that in my personal opinion, red lingerie is something to be reserved for the bedroom… in most cases. It’s sexy and fun but rarely does it shout out classy. Sadly, red lingerie often shouts trashy- but not always, so don’t be sending me your hate mail  because I have shot some gorgeous gals in lovely red lingerie. Moving right along…

Today I will share two things… a pretty outfit inspiration that is very simple and it shall feature RED lingerie. Yup, you read that right. The trick with red’s is to make sure they match, so if you are wanting to accessorizes with red on red, take your pieces with you when you shop- this includes shoes!

So here is a simple wrap dress and accessory options that would work wonderfully for a few shots that could then be slipped off to reveal some sexy red pieces. How fun would it be to tease him with the undressing shots?! *wink*

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*
