Happy Tushy Tuesday!
Unfortunately I was VERY sick last week so blogging got bumped, but I’m now back in the game!
Here’s a lovely tush to get back on track.

Friday already? Where did this week go?
I was browsing the Anthropolgie website while trying to come up with ideas for this week’s post, when I found this gorgeous pajama set (pictured in the graphic below). I quickly saved it to Pinterest (my birthday is coming after all) and moved along.
Still stuck on ideas, I decided to check out lingerie on Pinterest, and came across a cute lace racerback bra that I see getting re-pinned quite often. That’s when it hit me — what did the cute PJ set and this lacy bra have in common — they are both pretty from all angles!
Let’s face it, most of the time we focus on what we can easily see in the mirror, and forget about the other side.  I know Danea features some fabulous tushies every Tuesday around here, but what about the rest of the back side? It’s not just all about the booty!
I love the simplicity of a gorgeous back shot. While a woman’s back is totally sexy on it’s own, sometimes it’s nice to add some pretty lingerie to accentuate it even more.
Here’s some lingerie that’s eye catching from all angles:
Clockwise:
1. Bryony Sleep Set – AnthropologieÂ
2. Eberjey Colette Racerback Bralete – Journelle
3. Strappy Slip – Victoria’s Secret
4. Strappy Back Bra – Free People
I’m really loving this sleep set from Anthropologie because it’s totally sexy, but looks really comfortable for every-day wear. That gives it an A+ in my book. You could also swap out the bottom for a black lacy boy short for a different kind of look.
On that note, I think any of these pieces would be fabulous for a boudoir session. Ready to show off all of your sides? Gives us a call or shoot us an email today!

It’s been over a year that I’ve been sitting on these images. Last March I was able to attend WPPI, a large photographers convention in Las Vegas and attend a couple workshops. One small workshop on lighting was hosted by Chuckie Arlund. It was a group of 8 or so photographers in a small hotel room, one nervous but lovely model and the teaching about Radio Poppers and playing with lights. Each photographer had a few minutes to play with the poppers which was pretty cool. Here’s a behind the scene shot of Chuckie with the light meter, my friend and fellow Boudoir photographer Petra(holding the light), and the lovely Dana.
I couldn’t tell you which the following images were done with the radio poppers and which were natural light etc… it was too long ago, but there sure is a difference in the light and colors among these images. It was fun to get to play with these and I was pretty sure I was going to order them, but I didn’t get around to it after my trip and now I would need a refresher course to remember how to use them. Haha. Regardless I enjoyed the workshop and I couldn’t just let these lovely images sit in a folder. I may have only had a few moments with her but Dana did a wonderful job and I wanted to share the few images I took. Thanks again, Chuckie and Dana!

Welcome to this weeks Tushy Tuesday! This is a bit of a throw back so I hope you enjoy!
I have this image in a set from a previous blog post that has gone a bit crazy on Pinterest. So I figured why not highlight it on it’s own since I love the shot… and the shoes! The lovely Miss M was one of my first clients when I finally got a studio in downtown San Jose and she was so patient with me as we had to work around building supplies as we were still renovating. LOL.
Enjoy!

Earlier this month I mentioned the launch of our Coterie Petite mini sessions and I was able to change payment options thanks to some new studio management software(thanks Pixifi!) You can now pay the $200 retainer upfront and make payments on the balance prior to your Petite session date! Wahoo!!
I have also had a few people wonder what a set of ten images may look like. Here are ten from a regular shoot but these were taken in less than 15 minutes and we even had time to go inside while she was just in the bra and panties and do a few more poses. However, I only have permission to share the shots from the hallway but this just goes to show how many gorgeous images you can get with one outfit.
Next week I will share a sheet set and again, 20 minutes 10 fabulous images! Doesn’t Miss J look fabulous!? I LOVE this outfits and all the textures, so HOT!
I told you they were great and now you too can have your very own sexy mini model session. What are you waiting for? You deserve it, beautiful!

Happy Friday, everyone! For this week’s Fashion Friday, I wanted to share some fabulous vintage finds from eBay.
I have to admit, eBay isn’t the first place that comes to mind when I think of lingerie shopping, but after Danea scored a gorgeous vintage nightgown this week, I decided to give it a gander.
Browsing eBay is not exactly like walking into your favorite lingerie shop, but if you keep an open mind, you’re bound to find some unique vintage pieces and even a few bargains.
eBay obviously doesn’t have quite the same aesthetic as a Victoria’s Secret catalog, so you have to use your imagination a little (not that Victoria’s Secret catalogues are an accurate depiction of reality anyway). Most items are poorly photographed, loosely draped across creepy mannequins, and are often set against distracting backgrounds.
See what I mean?
Is she going to the beach in that??
That wallpaper….
However, once you look past all of that, how gorgeous are these nightgowns — and how amazing would they be to rock for a boudoir photo session? I love how they’re classically sexy and would be flattering for many figure types.
Don’t forget, Boudoir Coterie offers wardrobe consultations with many of our packages, so if you aren’t sure about something you want to purchase for a session, you can always send Danea a link before you bid.
Here are a few of my favorites that are still up for auction (at the time this was originally posted):
This sheer mint nightgown is gorgeous and a perfect color for spring.
I love how this color really pops and is another fabulous option for spring.
This nightgown has really gorgeous lace detailing on top.
This one is vintage Christian Dior. Check out that lace!
So what do you think? Would you buy lingerie on eBay? Are you ready to add one of these to your collection? If you’re ready to show off your awesome vintage eBay find, give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule a session today!
