If you haven’t happened upon it, then I have to let you all know that I have officially posted my Elite Coterie Party packages. Parties are for 4-7 girls and can be  planned for any occasion! Bachelorette, birthdays, celebrating the completion of the last load of dirty laundry- you name it, we’ll plan it!

So get your girls together and enjoy this amazing experience. Each lady chooses their preferred package, the hostess and I work out all the details and everyone enjoys a personal boudoir shoot. It’s a win-win for everyone. Oh and did I mention that there are hostess perks? You REALLY want to be a hostess- trust me. When 5-7 girls book the hostess receives a complimentary package!!

Make your next gathering one to remember & party like it’s HOT!

Oh what the heck, let’s add even more fun to this news: Be the first to book an Elite Coterie Party and EACH girl will receive a complimentary mounted 5×7 print!

Have questions? Want more info? Give me a call or shoot me an email! 408.460.1855 or bcoterie@sbcglobal.net.

Back On My Feet

San Jose Boudoir Photography

For the past two weeks I have been quite ill. What started as a sore throat, turned into the loss of my voice and a weekend in bed. Thankfully I am finally starting to get my energy back and can get some work done around here!

Before this virus kicked my butt I had been working on some marketing items. I created some very pretty gift certificates to hand out to a few local boutiques. I also got in touch with my crafty side and made this very lovely bouquet for Melanie at Dutchess Intimates Boutique. I have to admit I have quite enjoyed seeing it sit on the cabinet behind the dining room table since completing it and I will be a little sad to see it’s cheery blossoms leave our home.

For the 55 and up Crew

Campbell Boudoir Photography

It’s one thing to have the love and support of your family during your business adventures, but it’s truly divine when that support comes in the form of a curvaceous, and might I add HOT mom of 58! Yes folks, this is my mother(grandmother of 6) who graciously allowed me to photograph her while she was in town. Not only that but she’s letting me post some of the shots! Now THAT’s what I call supportive!

What I love about these images, besides the fact that she looks amazing, is that she has proven that you can look sexy without revealing it all. I get a lot of woman who say “When I lose 10 more pounds…” or “but my tummy is just too big…” My response is that we all have “trouble” areas and that’s normal. Most of us could stand to lose a few pounds but who cares! Besides, no one said that having a boudoir shoot means you have to be naked, or completely in your skivvies. It’s about seduction. It’s about femininity. It’s about YOU, and the beauty that you are. Mom chose to keep the cardigan on, it’s what made her comfortable and that level of comfort shines with great confidence in her images.

Who says you have to be young to be sexy? I say that sexiness comes from embracing yourself and who you are, at ANY age!

Go forth ladies, show ’em what you got and be proud of it!

… and for you mom, keep on representin’! 😉

P.S. The gorgeous lace bra featured in these photos is from the Dutchess Intimates Boutique. If you haven’t been to there yet, you really should check it out!

Introducing…

The wonderful Miss Julie!

San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

This lovely lady is my makeup artist aka my MUA. *Note I may be using the MUA abbreviation in the future as it’s so much easier to type- some might call that laziness I like to think of it as a great time management skill. 😉 She has been doing such an amazing  job with our clients. She received her license from the Redkin Academy for salon Professionals here in San Jose, where she is now an assistant teacher, so proud of you girly!!

Miss Julie is friendly, easy going and so much fun to work with. My playful sarcasm is bounced right back at me, just another talent this lady has. Ha! I can say with assurance that Julie will do an amazing job with your make over and I am thrilled that she is on my team, which will undoubtedly be growing into an amazing all female crew!

Thanks Miss Julie for doing such a great job, you’re awesome!

Hot Fun and Flirty

Redwood City Boudoir Photographer

I cannot express enough how fun this shoot was, but let me first go back a little so you can have all the details…

A few months ago I was at a car show with my boys when I saw this fantastic pink  ’58 Studebaker. My mind went instantly to beautiful women having their pictures taken in an around this “Ultimate Chick Car!”- said by Pinky herself. 😉 So I made some arrangements with Miss A (aka Pinky) to plan some future car shoots and mini marathons but first we needed to show everyone just how cool and sexy a boudoir car shoot could be. I asked the lovely Pinky if she would do me the honors of posing for this shoot and she happily accepted!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session. We really only hit the tip of the ice burg before the sun finally set on us. There are just so many possibilities with a car like this! Want to see more images? Check out the Car Shoots Gallery.

**Mini Marathon dates will be posted soon! However, this car is available for private full sessions with me AND private parties! So please contact me if you have any questions about using this car for your shoot & available dates. I promise, you will LOVE this fashion magazine meets pin-up session!

Just A Little Tease

Redwood City Boudoir Photography

We had such a great time at Sunday’s vintage car shoot! I am excitedly working away on the images so I can have them posted within a day or two, however I thought it would be fun to post a little teaser of the first official shot of the day. My MUA(make-up artist) Miss Julie had just pulled her hand away after positioning this romantic flower in Miss A’s hair. It’s a candid that I love, soft and romantic- just one of the styles we played with that late afternoon…

Sexy Little Valentine

Campbell Boudoir Photography

I am very excited to show off this HOT little album! Not only is it sleek but it’s full of gorgeous, color rich images of one fine chic. Her Mr.Right is going to be thrilled to receive this little beauty for Valentines Day!

6×6 albums come in a variety of leathers and each album is custom designed to match your style. They can be as simple as white or black pages with a single image per page or as detailed as this one with gorgeous details and style to compliment the images from your photo session. These albums have luxurious thick, lay flat pages, and come with your choice of fabric Boutique Bags. I’m partial to this textured, black silk beauty- a definite match for any style!
