What to Wear Wednesday | Santa Cruz Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

Holy cow it has been hot here the last few days! When we get weather like this that stays hot for a few days in a row, all I can think of wearing is something lightweight, breathable, and cool. Jean shorts can be hot and uncomfortable. If you agree and are wanting a different option, try linen or cotton shorts.

What I like about these type of shorts is that they can be patterned or a solid color. This type of fabric is so lightweight and soft, exactly what you want on these hot days.

A patterned pair can be fun to wear, and some even have tassels or fringe to add to the fun look.

I just love how these shorts can be for a casual look

Or can be more of a dressed up but still casual look

A few more of my favorite ideas on how to wear these shorts is to pair it with a lightweight kimono for those cooled down nights

Even paired with an off the shoulder top for an ultimate summer look

What’s your favorite? Do you prefer to wear these fantastic lightweight shorts as opposed to denim?

What to Wear Wednesday | Santa Clara Sunnyvale Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

Every woman should have a few staples in her closet, the Little Black Dress (LBD) should be one. But what about another dress option, the Little White Dress?!! You haven’t thought about that, have you?! Today I’m going to make you contemplate buying one of these pretty dresses to add to your wardrobe.

A Little White Dress is a great option because since it’s a neutral you have so many different options in ways to wear it. The first step is to buy the silhouette that flatters your body. After that, let’s look at how to style it.

An off the shoulder dress is a fantastic option for these warm summer months.

Try pairing it with some gladiator sandals.

Eeek I love this one! A lightweight cardigan, a fantastic patterned belt that ties in with the shoes!! This is one fantastic outfit.

Of course you can always wear white with white.

Light colored accents can be just as great as bright ones. I love this blue bag and the long sweater is amazing paired with this LWD.

Of course feel free to wear those bright colored heels. They’ll look amazing.

Do you have a Little White Dress in your wardrobe? How do you prefer to wear it? Do you pair it with light colors or add a bright pop of color? Can’t wait to hear from you!

What to Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

I love a piece of clothing that can go from day to night and casual to classy. Today we’re gonna talk about the camisole.

A camisole is a great piece for a day to night, or casual to classy look. You can accessorize accordingly to the weather and wear a cute cardigan, a blazer or even a jean jacket. If the weather is warm you could even wear it without a sweater.

Let’s look at some ideas of how to wear it with a sweater or blazer.

J.crew cardigan, navy camisole & leopard flats

I love navy paired with grey, and the leopard print shoes totally make the look.

This is a great cool summer day look. Some Bermuda shorts, a gorgeous printed camisole with a lightweight sweater.

An open front sweater is a great option too, and I totally love this color combo.

For a hot summer day you can totally wear it without a sweater. Let’s see some options on how to style it.

What a gorgeous fun print with a cute neckline.

Or pair with some fun printed shorts and a neutral cami for an amazing warm weather look.

Do pair with a gorgeous pop of color.

What’s your favorite look? Do you wear this for a day to night look? What’s the color of your fav cami in your closet?

What to Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Altos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

I love finding new websites and new things to share with you. Do you ever feel that you are just seeing the same thing over and over and over in different stores? I know I do. So, this website I’ve stumbled across is called Lulu’s, and they have some super cute clothes!

Today I want to focus on some of their fantasticÂ dresses, since the temperature is rising and that means most people want to wear as little clothes as possible and dresses are a great option for that.

I love maxi dresses, or at least dresses that are roughly knee length. I enjoy that I found some fun patterns that I haven’t seen anywhere and of course the obligatory black maxi dress.

If you do like knee length dresses there are plenty of options as well. I can say that I am truly in love with this middle teal colored dress.

If you are more of a shorter dress lover there are plenty of options too. Some of these even caught my eye.

They really do have something for everyone’s style and look you are going for. From modest to more revealing, fun colors and patterns, long and short. Take a look around and show me your favorite!

How To Feel Sexy | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you need to be shown how beautiful you are…

All women struggle with feeling beautiful and confident. There are so many things in life that get in our way, change how we feel or how we look and sometimes we need a little reminder. I had the gorgeous Miss D in for a session a couple months ago. She was nervous but excited. She allowed us to play with her adorable pixie cut for some playful spikes, it looked fabulous on her! We raided the studio wardrobe for this elegant dress and a sparkly necklace. The low cut front and leg slits showed off all her gorgeous assets. She looked amazing and as always I love to see the transformation from shy and nervous to confident and strong. Miss D has it going on!

Those eyes!

This dress is a studio piece and looks amazing on!

Next, we got a little playful with this sexy little number, also a studio piece. We paired it with this gorgeous mask for the perfect match.

Seduction. When you feel beautiful, it can happen without even trying.

Miss D is wonderfully tall, perfectly shown off in this image. What you don’t see in this set is how much we laughed throughout her session. Some of these poses are not the most natural. Hahaha Modeling can be hard, but it can be rewarding also. After showing Miss D a few images on the back of the camera she did her best not to cry with excitement. I was able to show her how stunningly beautiful she is. To me, that has greater value than the images alone. I know I have said this a lot but there is so much more to a Boudoir Coterie photo shoot than having your picture taken, it’s an experience every woman should have. We all need to feel beautiful, sensual and confident.

Why yes, I do shoot topless, but I am not allowed to show it on my website. I think I found a way around this. 😉 If sensual images fit your style, then these sexy sheet set shots are the way to go.

Miss D was amazing and brave. For someone so nervous about being in front of the camera, she completely stepped out of her comfort zone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Her images are stunning and sensual. the perfect portrayal of this gorgeous woman.

You were a pleasure to work with, Miss D. Stay sexy!
