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. 😉

 

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.

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!

Peek-a-boo Boudoir

Dress For Success | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

A “successful” shoot that is.

I like to remind my clients to bring something that isn’t lingerie so we can get some gorgeous shots that she will want to share and won’t blush about(well she might blush a little with the amount of FB “Likes” and comments on her newly uploaded profile picture. Haha). In my last Polyvore fashion inspiration post I may have mentioned that I am not a huge fan of red lingerie. I hope I didn’t get anyones panties in a bunch over that. *snicker* It’s just that in my personal opinion, red lingerie is something to be reserved for the bedroom… in most cases. It’s sexy and fun but rarely does it shout out classy. Sadly, red lingerie often shouts trashy- but not always, so don’t be sending me your hate mail  because I have shot some gorgeous gals in lovely red lingerie. Moving right along…

Today I will share two things… a pretty outfit inspiration that is very simple and it shall feature RED lingerie. Yup, you read that right. The trick with red’s is to make sure they match, so if you are wanting to accessorizes with red on red, take your pieces with you when you shop- this includes shoes!

So here is a simple wrap dress and accessory options that would work wonderfully for a few shots that could then be slipped off to reveal some sexy red pieces. How fun would it be to tease him with the undressing shots?! *wink*

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*

Wardrobe Inspiration | San Jose Boudoir Photography

Ok, so yeah, I have been a little MIA the past few weeks. I had foot surgery and have been recouping, wrapping up current clients and getting some business ducks in a row. I am happy to say that this *time off* (Hahahahahahahahahahha, time off, that’s a good one. *Snort*) will soon come to an end. April is officially booked but I do have May sessions still available so for those of you still on the fence, give me a call and we can meet at my San Jose Studio for a complimentary consult. I don’t pressure anyone to book, consults are simply a way for you to get to know myself, my products and how a session with me goes down. 😉
