Extraordinary Eyes – Fashion Friday| San Jose Bay Area Makeup Class

I have decided to host my own makeup class but with full disclosure, I am NOT a professional makeup artist, but I do work with some so obviously I’m just like a pro. *snort*

I’m totally kidding, I’m notÂ a pro, just a gal who has a love for all things girly, including makeup!

This is going to be a fun class where I teach you all the tips and tricks I have learned over the years. The class will highlight a variety of products, what they are, why we use them, and HOW we use them! The best part is that you will be receiving a class kit(those are just some of the goodies pictured above) with ALL the products to take home so you will be able to recreate what we learned in class!

We will create a day to evening eye, which will include a beautiful smokey eye.

This class is all about the eye, I will not be teaching anything about foundations or contouring, it’s an eye class. Eye makeup only, I cannot stress this enough. LOL.

There will also be refreshments and giveaways and it’s on a Saturday afternoon so you can leave with beautiful eye makeup, ready to paint the town!

For all the details and more info please click right here. Or HERE, or even here. (It’s the same link, I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t missed. 😉

Spaces are limited and you only have until Nov 5th to purchase!

Can’t attend but want to get in on the fun?

Â Enter to win this bag with goodie!!!

Small makeup Case
Lotion wipes(my favorite!)
Black no sharpen eye liner
Lip liner in Raisin(another personal fav)
Eye Refresh
Earth tone eye shadow palette

**Please note, I will be checking the entries and removing those that did not follow through. I’m hard core like that.

Open to legal residents of USA and Canada only.

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!

Tushy Tuesday & Special Announcement | Campbell Boudoir Photographer

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…

Â

White Sheet Summer Special!

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!!

We had some fantastic sessions last year! The women all looked amazing and had a fabulous time… of course. 😉
