Tushy Tuesday- 50 Shades of Grey, Style | Santa Cruz Bay Area Photographer

With so much buzz surrounding the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie, and these awesome fuzzy handcuffs making an appearance in our San Jose studio, how could I NOT do a 50 Shade’s inspired Tushy Tuesday!?

Personal tidbit– I’ve never read the books. 😉

So now I have to ask, would ya’ll like to see a 50 Shades inspired photo shoot? If I get enough feedback I will play around and share, but I need to know there is interest for it!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Tushy Tuesday | San Jose bay Area Boudoir/Glamour photographer

If you are happening on the blog for the first time, welcome to this fun feature that I lovingly call Tushy Tuesday!

Since most women don’t feel that they have an ideal tushy, I try and capture a cute tushy shot during boudoir photo sessions in hopes that each lady will see that her tushy is quite fabulous. Then, if given permission, I share that fabulous tush here on a Tuesday, because tushies come in all shapes and sizes and they are all worth showing off. So behold, another fabulous tush!– oh, and cute hubby to boot, ladies. 😉

P.S. This wonderful tushy, belongs to a fellow photographer, Leslie, of Lavish Boudoir in Georgia. Be sure to check her out if you’re in that area!

Mother/Daughter Beauty Session | San Jose Glamour photographer

Â Â I finally got to shoot my first mother/daughter session and it was AMAZING! These two ladies were gorgeous and a BLAST to work with. I know you’ve heard me say that we laugh a lot during sessions but this one had to take the cake. They were so goofy and I could not believe how many laughing shots I got, which of course became some of the favorites from their session!

They chose to do a formal look and a casual look and no matter what they wore they both looked fabulous. During a double or even triple Beauty session (I think this would make for an amazing generations shoot) I take some time and do individual shots, as you will see below. So now take a peek and let me(and these lovely ladies) know what you think!

They totally cracked up right after the “Now try and look a little more serious…” I mean come on, I can’t even look at these shots without giggling– plus, they are both so beautiful. 🙂

I took some time and played around a little with this flower shot. I want to get into doing some digital art for myself and this was a fun shot to play with. I love the sun kissed results– this was done inside the studio… no sun.

So there you have it a beautiful mother/daughter session that they will have to cherish for many years to come!

So are you ready to book YOUR beauty session in our lovely San Jose studio? Want to make it a day to remember? Why not do the shoot with your bestie, sister, cousin… there are so many possibilities!

Women’s Wellness Event Giveaway! | Boudoir Photorgapher and Inspirational Speaker

I’ve never really thought of myself as inspirational.

I’m just well, me. However, in the past couple years I have heard from those around me that say I am inspirational and I should be more vocal about who I am and how I got to where I am today. So I am doing just that(and nervous to boot).

On Sept 13th, I will be attending a Women’s Wellness Sunflower Retreat and I will be speaking about my story. I will be talking about my Arthritis, what my parents were told when I was young, some of my struggles, but mostly my perseverance. But it’s not all about me. Actually it’s very little about me, this is going to be a FABULOUS day filled with fun classes, wine tasting, delicious food, raffles, wine tasting, hanging with other fantastic women, wonderful goodie bags. Oh, and did I mention wine tasting!?

So please come and check out the site and learn a little more about this exciting event! Women’s Wellness Sunflower Retreat.

Keep scrolling past this beautiful image of me, looking awesome for some more fun…

… and here we go.

BUT WAIT… that’s not all!!!

I have some even more exciting news… I have ONE ticket to give away. This ticket is valued at $250!!! The raffle will begin at midnight tonight and end at midnight on Friday. Please ignore the date and time left as it wouldn’t let me change that. So you have THREE days to get as many entries in as possible!

Good luck and I hope to see you all there!

Welcome to another wonderful Tushy Tuesday– and with a twist.

A twist, you ask? Well sort of, you see yesterday I did something that I haven’t done in a very long time… I photographed a client in her home and it was so much fun!! It also resulted in another very favorite image that is perfect for our Tushy Tuesday feature AND it actually shows a little face. Soft, feminine and sexy, all wrapped up in one.

What do you think? 😉

Looky, looky, it’s here again!! We are bringing it back again for a limited time only…

White Sheet sessions are a wonderful way to have the beautiful and pampering experience without the hassle of deciding what to wear! I find that all women who choose to do a sheet set end up looking the most beautiful and relaxed during this session and so I decided to offer them as a stand alone special. you can see more sample images HERE.

Availability is first come first serve and spots are limited so book early before time runs out!!

Fashion Friday- Maddox Kai Salon Spotlight | Los Gatos Boudoir Photography

I know this is not the typical fashion Friday. Nicole is in the middle of a move to southern California and I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all about Elizabeth and her gorgeous Los Gatos Salon– Maddox Kai. Besides, hair IS fashion and every time I see her she’s sporting a fun new style.

Last year, I not only had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth on a few shoots(she did hair and makeup) but I also had the pleasure of photographing her! Elizabeth is the owner of the Maddox Kai Salon in downtown Los Gatos. They offer not only fabulous cuts, but color, up dos and Brazilian Blowouts! So definitely check them out and be sure to LIKE them on Facebook too!

Now on with some great shots of Miss E looking smokin’ hot! She’s sweet, fun and she had a very playful and flirty side during her mini shoot! I LOVE the glasses and blazer mixed with lace top stockings and feminine bustier! 🙂

And then of course, we went a little softer…

… and then softer still with some beautiful sheet shots. I love the cream flower and the pop of her red lips, so vintage Hollywood. 🙂

Thank you so much Elizabeth! You were a blast to work with and so beautiful inside and out! So again, go check out the Maddox Kai Salon on Santa Cruz Ave in Downtown Los Gatos!
