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. 😉

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! 🙂

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!

Need more wardrobe inspiration? Once your session is booked we’ll plan a wardrobe consultation(complimentary for all my clients) where we’ll look through what you have and hit some local lingerie stores if need be. Gail at Besos in Los Gatos is wonderful and she carries some gorgeous lines! With your outfits chosen and ready to go, you’ll be all set the day of your shoot and not worrying about what to piece together.
If you’re ready to start planning your perfect outfits, give me a call 408.460.1855 or email me at bcoterie@sbcglobal.net and we’ll get you booked in.

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.

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!)

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! 😉

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*

San Jose Boudoir Photographer: Football Is Sexy!

Today while talking with a client on the phone, we discussed incorporating her hubby’s favorite sport into a few shots. Let’s face it most guys are into some sort of sport and that sport is often football. Now what man wouldn’t like seeing his sexy lady looking all hot in her boudoir images while wearing his favorite teams jersey and cute panties? Well Victoria’s Secret has taken it there and created a women’s line that fits a woman’s curves. No more over sized, bulky jersey. Now you can have your own cute top and spicy panties to boot.

Here’s a small sampling of some of the items in this NFL line. Oh, and I am really not into football(don’t judge) so I was a total girl here and picked teams that had the same colors as my website. *snort*

Click the image to check out the team lineups, shop for your favorite team and then contact me to score your session date. I’ll give you the details play by play. So bring your A-game and I’ll promise you a win that will be a real confidence booster. Don’t get on the defense, you’ll be the MVP for the day. – See what I did there? Yes, I am easily amused. Haha.

Sheer Sexy

San Jose Boudoir Photography

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a little bit of covered skin can be just as sexy, if not more, than bare nekkid. They may not all admit it, but men love a little teasing. A hint of skin, a peep of naughtiness and you can have them eating out of your hand. Other benefits to having a little skin covered up- it’s a great way to discretely hide areas that you might be a little self conscious about. Having a boudoir shoot does NOT mean you have to be naked or in lingerie only. Beautiful and sexy outfits can be found everywhere when you think out of the box.

I’ve decided to start “Sheer Sexy” posts. These will be outfit ideas from lingerie to a sports jersey. Items that will make you feel and look gorgeous for your Coterie session.

Today I’m showing off some cute sheer tops. Sheer clothing with a little bit of pattern can be amazingly sexy when going bare underneath. Of course I wouldn’t recomend the bare look if your running to the grocery store but I’m all for it if you’re in front of my camera. You may even have items like this in your closet. Pairing these tops with different foot wear can create wonderfully different looks. Sweet, flirty, classy, glam. High heals are a must for sexy boudoir shoots. Don’t wear heals or own anything photo worthy? Don’t want to spend a fortune on shoes you may only wear once(or twice if your man requests the live view of your gorgeous images). Well you’re in luck, I found these amazing websites that have an enormous selection of HOT shoes for very little money. These pewter knee boots are $16!! No more excuses. 😉

All these fashions can be found at urbanog & Pink Ice
