Boudoir Sessions

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!

Crazy Move: Campbell Boudoir Photographer

Okay, Okay… I am not MIA but things are a bit hectic and crazy around here. We have officially moved the studio to a larger unit down the hall. This past week has been INSANE! Not only did the current tenants renege on their offer to let us into the pretty much empty space early to start working on the floors, but we also went and got a dog last weekend. This past week has been spent scraping, prepping and painting concrete floors and juggling toddlers and a new puppy(who thankfully doesn’t act like a puppy and who has been so sweet and well behaved through the caos that has been the last week). Sadly we are still not finished the floor but will continue to finish it in sections…. then to do a floor and all the way up ONTO the ceiling paint job(throw in some drywall reconstruction into that mix) Oh and did I mention the past tenants were graffiti artists and tagged the space EVERYWHERE, but did attempt a coverup with this yucky beige paint. Sigh.

Anyhow, things are starting to look great and the floor is coming along quite nicely… unfortunately, in my exhaustion I left the point and shoot at the studio and therefor the studio progression images will have to wait for another day. I can, however, show you a sneak at some experimental floor art… and no, the floor is no longer white, that was just primer and base. πŸ˜‰

My awesome hubby working hard…

For those wondering what this is, it’s a gorgeous wall mural from Stickerbrand. My original intent was to use it as a stencil and do the texture painting over top and then peal it off. However, it looks so cool with the texture we put down that we’ve decided to leave it down and are crossing our fingers that all the coats of Urethane will keep this bad boy protected! More transformation shots to come…

Now, because you are probably all dying to know… *snicker*… this is our new pup, Osgrrr and he’s about 1 year old according to the vet- creative spelling was my hubby’s idea. πŸ˜‰ He appears to be a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix and is a deep chocolate brown with black patches, or black with brown patches(whichever) but in low light he’s just black. Ha! We got him at the San Martin Humane Society and he seems to be house and leashed trained. He also goes in his crate very well but we haven’t really used it much. We figured it would take weeks to find the prefect dog but this little guy, our last and hesitant option the day we went to visit the shelter since we didn’t actually want a dog so young, came bouncing up to all of us in the play yard and immediately wanted tummy rubs. The main seller- he wasn’t shy with the boys! Γ’β„’Β₯ He has officially become my “bodyguard”- hubby quote, and has even started barking when he hears strange noises, however the barking seems to only occur when Jeff isn’t home, and I’m totally cool with that since it’s very infrequent. P.S. He’s very camera shy, especially with my big gun, but he’s much more perky than he appears in this sad and pathetic image. Hahaha

Now, because I can’t have a post without a gorgeous gal in it AND I just happened to shoot one last Thursday morning AND it was the last shoot in my previous studio… well here ya go…

Nice gams Miss D! πŸ˜‰

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. πŸ˜‰

 

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.

Sizzling Summer Boudoir Special | San Jose Boudoir & Glamour Photography

Let’s Celebrate!

Summer is just a few short weeks away and it’s already getting hot in here at our San Jose Boudoir Studio. We got the fans going and that’s just fine- it makes for some sexy hair shots. πŸ˜‰ But I want to turn up the heat a little more and get some of you gorgeous girls into Boudoir Coterie for your own personal pampering day. What? You think your too old? Too fat? To thin? You don’t feel gorgeous? You’re lacking that sexy feeling? Nonsense! Just call me Stella and I’ll help you get your groove back. I promise. It doesn’t matter if you want a glamour or boudoir shoot, ah heck, do both! You will have one of the BEST experiences from our first consultation to the day of your shoot with one of my fantastic MU artists and the magic done by a divine hair stylists from Atelier SalonSpa and Studio in Santana Row.  That’s right Atelier has joined our team(FYI, I am so stinkin’ excited about this!) and they do such a rockin’ job keeping every hair in place during your shoot. The best part is your reveal session when you come back to the studio to see just how sensational your session really was! Oh, and of course the day I hand you a pretty package with all your goodies and you get to touch and feel your fabulous products!

Still need a little more incentive? Okay, I hear ya. How about this…

Book any package by June 15th to take place between now and August 18 and you will receive a marvelous booking bonus! Each bonus can be used towards any additional products we offer. Maybe you want a canvas print or a bedside folio? Or maybe you want to use it for a package add-on or album upgrade? It’s yours to spend however you choose!

Here’s the details on what you will get with each package:

Starlette- Receive a $500 spending bonus

I do not allow package substitutions and hair and makeup is mandatory. If you choose to have your hair done elsewhere it must be done professionally and no moneys will not be subtracted from your package price, it is what is, my dear. But hey, it really is one of the best parts of the day… sipping a glass of wine while being primped and pampered, who’d refuse that? Not I! LOL.

Here’s one last little push… since we all love a Before & After.

The lovely Miss R came into the studio with the belief that she simply wasn’t photogenic but really wanted to do something special for her boyfriend. She had one of the greatest reactions of any client I have seen and I was quiet surprised that she genuinely was shocked at how gorgeous she is. Yesterday I delivered her album and she couldn’t stop flipping through the pages, smiling and giggling. It was AWESOME!

 Making women feel this good, is THE BEST part of my job!

Call me now 408.460.155 Shoot me an email: bcoterie@sbcglobal.net or fill out this Contact Form. Yup, it’s that easy!

P.S. I am NOT a high volume studio. I choose to limit how many clients I book each month so I can give them my devoted time and attention. This means that sadly, spaces are limited for this deal and it’s first come first serve. And, as always you can always come in for a complimentary consultation to see if I’m the right photographer for you.

Saying “I Do” To Bridal Boudoir | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Bridal Boudoir

It’s becoming one of the hottest grooms gifts and a very personal one at that. With wedding season upon us, now is the time to make it happen. A little piece of you, what more could he ask for? Imagine slipping him the album as you part ways the night before your nuptials. Or even better, have it delivered to him an hour or two before walking down the aisle and have your wedding photographer there to capture his reaction. No matter how you choose to gift your special man, any cold feet vibes he may have been having will quickly be out the door and he will be anxiously awaiting your arrival at the alter- tapping his toe and checking his watch. πŸ˜‰

Bridal boudoir is a wonderful way to capture some of those special details in a more intimate way. From your garter and veil to the delicate diamond earrings borrowed from your grandmother. Beautiful images of yourself for you both to cherish. You’ll love seeing how gorgeous you look in that sexy bustier that is hidden under your dress or those flirty little “Bride” panties you wore to your rehearsal dinner. There are so many ideas and images to capture that will complete your custom boudoir album.

My gorgeous Coterie Girl Andrea and I, had some fun shooting a bridal session recently. Flirting with her her veil and looking gorgeous in a white lace t-shirt, she made a stunning bride!

What you need to know…

Sessions, from the first consultation to the delivery of your album, can take 6-8 weeks. Yup, you read that right. So be sure to plan accordingly. The gift of digital files would be much faster and there is often the option for rush delivery but it will tack on some extra dollars to your purchase.

Although the images in this post are just bridal theme, make the most of your session and bring non bridal outfits also. We’ll plan the perfect wardrobe prior to your session day so you will be stress free and ready to go the day of your shoot.

As always I am just a phone call or email away if you have any questions about booking your bridal boudoir session. 408.460.1855 or bcoterie@sbcglobal.net. I look forward to hearing from you and making the prefect sexy little grooms gift the most memorable gift you give him!

And yet again I apologize for having removed these images as I can longer have my business associated with the person in these shots. I will soon post better bridal shots, I promise! πŸ™‚

The Beauty Of Boudoir | San Jose Boudoir & Glamour Photography

In recent months I have been putting a little more emphasis on the beauty factor during my shoots. By this I mean capturing those shots that my ladies can show off. These images are sexy, but not too revealing. Sometimes this is done while they are wearing lingerie, like this gorgeous shot of Miss M, who is wearing a slinky negligee that could easily be passed off for a pretty blouse or dress. It’s a beautiful image that could be shared with family and friends or displayed in her home.

San Jose Glamour and Portrait Photographer

The reason that I have been taking the time to include a few images of this style was due to the feedback from clients who have loved their images but wished they had something they could share without the worry of the images being too risqué for public viewing. Let’s face it, most of your boudoir images might be “for your eyes only” but as women, we ALL love the idea of having a gorgeous photo of ourselves to display with pride and why not make that happen while you are looking so dang good!? Our San Jose natural light studio is perfect for this type of portrait too, I swear it makes everyone’s skin look so radiant!

I love this next set, you look so stunning Miss M! (this was a last minute set, I provided the lace top and flower and I love the results!)

San Jose Bay Area Boudoir and glamour portraits

Now for those of you thinking “Yeah, but I want some really sexy shots?” Well, of course you do and don’t worry, we get lots of those too. I just wanted to show off the different varieties of images you’ll receive when you book a session with Boudoir Coterie. Besides, sometimes the sexiest images aren’t the most revealing, it’s about feeling gorgeous and when that happens,  the “sexy” soon follows. Here’s a full body view… Smokin’ Hot! πŸ˜‰

Now go ahead and give me a call so we can discuss what style you would like the emphasis on. Every session is customized to my client so CONTACT me soon and we’ll start planning your dream shoot!

Special thanks to our lovely Signature Coterie Girl, Andrea Alarcon who did an amazing job with Miss M’s makeup for this shoot. She’s beautiful and talented! πŸ˜‰
