Confessions of a Boudoir Photographer | San Jose Bay Area Photographer

Juicing healthy veggies san jose

Gah! Why does being “healthy” have to be so time consuming?

You know what makes me feel better than a coffee in the afternoon… and I mean immediately feel better not that high and low? Fresh juice: as in 2 carrots, one apple, a little bit of kale, cucumber and a handful of spinach.

Instant energy boost and in a good way. But hell if that isn’t messy and time consuming. Popping a k-cup in the coffee maker, a splash of Baily’s creamer(non-alcoholic… most days)and whip cream is so much easier and let’s face it, ummm tasty.

Damn you evil conveniences!

Alas, I know which makes me feel better, truly better, so let’s just hope I can fight the convenience voices in my head and stick with the change this time. Pretty sure juicing three times a year isn’t quite cutting it. Neither is throwing away veggies because I never got around to actually juice them. And did I mention the cringing at how much I spent on that space consuming, dust collector that should be used for making me fresh juice?

Three times a week. That is my new goal.

Let’s do this!

P.S. Yes, I actually like the taste of these juices. Hahaha

Makeup Monday |San Jose Bay Area Photographer

Hello dolls!!! Mari here with makeup Monday!

So, eyes are the windows to our soul right?! And those brows are the frames to that pretty face. Today we talk about brow basics. How many times do we see a beautiful face or great makeup and see some questionable brows? Sometimes we might not know where a brow should start. Where does the arch go? How long should the brow be? Well I’m here to help you out with that!

Let’s start with some basic TIPS. A nice, fuller brow will always give us a more youthful look. Let’s think back to our early years before the tweezing began lol.  An overly arched brow will give you that evil queen look, we definitely DON’T want that! The biggest brow NO NO as a professional makeup artist are those spaced out brows; when they are over tweezed in the center, making the brows and eyes look too far apart.
Here’s a handy little grid to show you how a brow should frame the eye. Take an eye shadow brush and hold it against your eye to follow the grid lines of where to start the brow, where the arch goes, and where it should end. Pretty easy once you follow this!!! Fill in with pencil or powder and work on letting those brows grow in where necessary!

Happy Tushy Tuesday everyone!

White and Red.

I really like how her nails pop on these cute boy cut panties. This style panty is a guy favorite. I have had some many men confess that they like the little bit of cheekiness they give and that they prefer them over thong.

And that was your fun fact for the day. You’re welcome. Hahahaha

Fashion Friday– Go Wild! | San Jose CA Boudoir Fashion

I cannot lie, I love animal prints. I mean I don’t wear them every day, in fact I used to have a lot more than I do now, but I think they make fabulous statement pieces when matched with colors and other subtle prints. These three outfit suggestions can suit anyone’s style. Whether you want bold, in your face animal print sexy, or just that hint of wild, these are all fabulous and flirty looks that would be amazing to photograph.

P.S. Animal prints go with ANY color! I love the purple orchid shown here but turquoise, green, red or even a rich black would look amazing, so accent with your favorite color to help customize you look!

I think I need to get a few leopard accessories in our San Jose studio!
