Fashion Friday | Santa Cruz Bay Area Photographer

Hi ladies! Devon here with this weeks Fashion Friday. I’m so excited to share some ideas with you today. And actually I’m going to be sharing them with you every week as I’ll now be authoring all the Fashion Friday posts.

Today I thought it would be nice to show some examples of the outfits Danea suggested for the new 2015 Summer Special.

Danea’s first suggestion was a little black dress. Who doesn’t have at least one LBD in their closet? I know I have at least 3! Everyone loves a little black dress because it helps us feel a bit sexy and a bit sassy.

 

Little Black Dress

Don’t forget your favorite stiletto’s and that statement piece of jewelry. If your shoes aren’t black that’s ok. Who doesn’t love a pop of color with a black dress.

Next up we have the gowns. We all have at least one fancy dress that we wore to that wedding and now it just sits in the closet gathering dust?! Short, long, tea length, whatever yours looks like, if it makes you feel good then bring it!

Gown

 

You know that one pair of jeans you have? THAT ONE PAIR that fits so well it hugs every curve of your body and you make you feel amazing. We wanna see them! Your favorite jeans will look great paired with your favorite blouse and some cute ankle booties.

I came across this pin on Pinterest (I’m addicted!) and thought this was a great time to pass this information along to you. The tips are pretty helpful, but of course do what you feel looks best for you and your body type. You can read the full article here.

I hope this helps you ladies plan your outfits for the Summer Special. I know what’s going through your head right now, “My jeans would look great with that blouse in my closet and I have the perfect shoes”. Call us today and show them off!

Fashion Friday | San Jose Boudoir Photography

We’ve had several beautiful ladies come in to our San Jose studio recently with some special sportswear of their fiancee’s. Does your significant other have a favorite team, player, or do they play a sport and have their own jersey?  This can be a great way to personalize your session with something special. If that special jersey is huge on you, try a girl cut tee instead. Did you know there is a website especially for women’s professional sports wear?! This can be a great way to personalize a bit of your session with something meaningful, while still showing your sensual side.

Here are some great options; a longer shirt if you aren’t as daring, or a short crop or even folded shirt to really show off! Victoria’s Secret has a great half-zip sweater for their favorite college team. Whatever look you go for, you can be sure that they will go crazy when they see you. Imagine the smile on their face every time they see their favorite team play from now on!

We want your Boudoir Coterie photo session to be amazing and adding a personal touch is a great way to show off another side of you!

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!

Tushy Tuesday | San Mateo Boudoir Photographer

It’s that time of the week when we celebrate the tush. Women seem to love either love their tush or hate their tush and my goal is to show clients how fabulous their tush can be! It’s not something we get to admire ourselves and when we do, it is often from unflattering mirrored angles. This is why I always try to capture a great tush shot when a client comes in for a photo shoot. Why not? You’re here in the studio, you rarely get to admire your own butt and it’s very likely your significant other has, so why not have that shot that makes you say “Damn, that IS a mighty fine ass!?” Hahaha

Last week I posted a VIDEO about my new favorite tushy pose and today’s shot is just a slight angle variation of said pose.

Be sure to check out my YouTube channel and even subscribe if you are so inclined. 😉

Now without further adieu, admire away…

No Excuses! | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Finally!

Early last year I had a few ideas for some promo videos. Unfortunately they have sat on the back burner for months and months. Finally, just over a week ago I realized that now was the time and I had the perfect person for my first shoot. I gave a past client, Miss F a call. It has been a year since she graced my studio but she had given me a full release and I figured she might be game. I pitched her my idea and what it would require from her(you’ll see), she laughed, paused and then agreed. Yay! We got together at the Boudoir Coterie San Jose Studio on Tuesday morning and with the help of my lovely assistant, Devon, shot everything we needed to make this happen. Of course the artist in me kept thinking of so many more things I could have done with this during the creation process but I am pretty dang thrilled with how it turned out!

This is the first video from my “No Excuses” campaign which will address some of the reasons I hear from women as to why they “can’t” book.

Can you guess what this video is addressing? Hahaha

So without further adieu, my video promo debut!

If you guessed nerves or embarrassment then you win! Yeah, so you don’t actually win anything but the satisfaction of being correct. Go ahead and give yourself a high five, smarty pants!
And now, click HERE and book yourself a session! I promise it will be just as fun as in the video and no, you won’t fall. That was totally staged, and she did a fantastic job at it, don’t you think!? Haha.

Fashion Friday – Another Etsy Holiday | San Jose Boudoir Photography

I seriously don’t know where this year has gone, but apparently it’s holiday shopping time already (at least according to the 900 retail emails I get each day). Last year I put together a fun Etsy gift guide, and since it’s Fashion Friday, I thought it’d be fun to do another one with a focus on accessories and other things you can wear. Who doesn’t love a cozy scarf or sparkly jewelry?

In case you’re not familiar, Etsy is an e-commerce site that focuses mainly on handmade and vintage goods. Since almost anyone can open up an Etsy shop, it’s a perfect place to support small businesses and to find some really unique stuff. Of course, the downside is that there’s a whole lot of garbage on Etsy too, but that’s always good for a few laughs.

One of the things I really love about Etsy is that you can find unique gifts at all different price points, and no one needs to know how much you spent! I tried to include items to fit every budget, and there is nothing more than (or really even close to) $100. No matter the cost, I always think it’s special to receive a gift that’s handmade or one of a kind. You can’t put a price tag on that.

An Etsy Holiday

1. Blue Lapis Necklace – $49

2. Coin Purse – $16

3. Plum Druzy Earrings – $75

4. Stained Glass Pendant – $33

5. Tempe Messenger/Make-up Bag – $24

6. Homestead Rustic Triangle Bra – $55

7. Small Stud Earrings – $12

8. Handmade Wool Knit Hats – $49

9. Blanket Infinity Scarf – $46
