What To Wear Wednesday | Los Gatos San Jose Boudoir Photography

The Perfect Panty

With so many different wardrobe choices for a boudoir shoot, it could be a bit overwhelming. To help you make the best decision we’ll focus on one attribute at a time.

It’s all about showing off your best assets and being comfortable in your own skin. The particular asset we are showing off today is the posterior and the beautiful panties that could go on it. Yes, there are still so many choices, but at least all we have to worry about is that terrific tush!

There is a panty for every personality; let’s find yours.

Lace Up Panties

Weather they lace from the front or the back, this ethereal design is always flattering and flirty with a breath of elegance. It comes in an unending array of colors, styles, and fabrics.

Sporty Panties

Cozy and casual can be sexy and seductive. Sporty styles not only give you unbelievable comfort, but it also lifts you in the most flattering places. It makes you feel as flexible as an acrobat and most importantly it will make you feel free and at ease, while doing killer poses.

Strappy Panties

Going with a strappy design shows how bold you can be with your sexual heat. Its intricate style is often times the most visually intimate and favorable to almost every figure.

High Waist Panties

High waisted styles are so versatile and comfortable without sacrificing elegance. Designs range from a vivacious vintage to a marvelous modern and shows as much or as little as you want.

Floral Print Panties

Floral Panties are delicate and exquisite. They bring a very natural essence to your derriere and can be as sophisticated or as simple as you want. It wears well with a lace trim to accent its beauty. Fabrics and cuts are quite variable, but the elegance is always the same.

Fantasy Panties

This is the wow factor! The fantasy would come true with a lovely string of pearls, a salacious peekaboo or a revealing chain ensemble. Whichever is chosen, each is unique and the most provocative of statements.

Funtime Panties

Sometimes it’s fun to leave the elegance at the door and have a little fun with your panties. Bring out that good humor, inner geek or even just the downright naughty side of you.

Animal Inspired Panties

Though leopard is a true classic when it comes to animal inspired panties, there are other creatures in this world and that means there are many creations that these animals have influenced such as feathers and fur. Or go outside the box with peacock print instead. The choices are numerous and all gorgeous!

Classic Garter Style Panties

It’s always best to end with a classic. The timeless enchantment this garment elicits is undeniable. It accentuates every curve, flatters every figure, and truly drips sex and sophistication. The style will never die for exactly these reasons.

Final Touch

Whatever style you choose to accentuate your asset, keep it true to you. No matter the personality, there’s a panty for that.

Fairytale Boudoir | Los Gatos San Francisco Bay Area Photograpghy

Disney has embraced the look and feel of innocence for the younger demographic, as it should. When you are a child you look at a princess through your eyes. No one else’s eyes will do. But I must confess, and I know I am not alone in saying this, I am still a huge fan of all the Disney Princesses, Villains, movies, various characters, ect.. But I look at them through different eyes now; adult eyes. Yes, that makes me look at their outfits and mannerisms a bit different. I mean, come on, Pocahontas or Ariel of the Little Mermaid! And I am definitely not the only one who has envisioned what these beautiful princesses would wear for princes in the boudoir.

These fantastic drawings of just that vision are represented here by an artist from Mexico named Biaani (https://biaani.deviantart.com/). Her concept is exactly what I always think when I watch a Disney movie. With these images, many young ladies give you their take on a sexy Disney Princess look, all while using Biaani’s work to inspire them. Let’s start from where it all began.

Once Upon a Time…

Snow White goes down in history as the first Disney Princess ever! Her voice is lilting and innocent. She created the mold of the Disney Princess standard. So I can see why the artist used a more gothic tone. With evil lurking in every corner in any disguise who wouldn’t have a little touch of darkness show through. With a look like this, she will need to be the one to kiss life back into her Prince.

Cinderella’s image is undeniable and virtually unchangeable. Everyone has even the same color blue in their mind when hearing the name Cinderella. The artist kept to the very classic feel of the legendary princess as well as the featured lingerie. It’s a timeless image loved by all. Prince Charming couldn’t help but be charmed by this.

Aurora was a beauty like no other princess. She had a poise and grace and slept for 100 years without aging lol. In the movie, she wore two very distinct colors: pink and sky blue. Everyone has their favorite color she wore. Flora and Merryweather even fought over it. But here the artist and I have something in common, we both love her in the pink. I absolutely believe she would wear pink when she wants alone time with Prince Phillip.

Ariel is the princess of the ocean and her personality and style flow so freely and can’t be contained. In fact, she was the first Disney Princess to show as much skin as she did which was a direct reflection of her uncontainable spirit. I think the artist captured that perfectly. Prince Eric would never again fall under Ursula’s or anyone else’s spell with such an exquisite lingerie choice.

Belle is a character with as much beauty as brains and makes a beastly prince see the true meaning of goodness with feisty persistence. Such a princess exudes strength no matter what, and the artist pictures this incredibly. Though she had other outfits she wore, her most iconic was her gold ball gown. It captured her essence, and so too does the choice of lingerie pictured here.

Jasmine is one of the sexiest princesses of all time. All of her outfits were so very seductive and exotic, being that she was from Persia. Her personality was as bold and exciting as her style and her undying loyalty makes her that much sexier. Above all, it seems the artist got into my head once again! I can only picture an out of this world belly dancing outfit. It’s the perfect look for all her qualities.

Pocahontas is not only represented as a fearless native princess who fell deeply in love with John Smith in spite of his differences, she is also the first Disney Princess to be based on a true historical figure (though this story is much different in real life). She is the first Disney Princess of the Americas. I thank the artists especially for creating such an astonishing image that represents her natural spirit. You can almost see the colors of the wind blowing through her hair.

Tiana is an inspiration! She is the first African American Disney Princess, she is the first to own her very own business, and was the second Dinsey Princess set in America ( In New Orleans no less!!) She is exciting, She is independent, she is vivacious, and everything about that screams sexy! The artist did a great job creating exactly that. And the young lady who chose the lingerie inspired by Tiana did a phenomenal job embracing the spirit of New Orleans.

Rapunzel is a young woman trapped by an evil witch, but nothing will stop her from breaking free. With her trusty hair and her hunky savior, Flynn Rider, she escapes peril and lives as happily ever after as all the rest of them. I can imagine her looking exactly like the artist has depicted when her and Flynn got their own tower, with a touch of regal purple, soft lavenders, long flowing tresses as golden as the sun.

Merida became an absolute favorite of mine among the Disney Princesses because she saved everyone with her bow and arrow, her witts, and absolutely no Prince Charming needed, ever. In fact, she is the first Disney Princess never to marry. I envision her being as provocative as she wants in her private intimacies with no cares about what anyone thinks. that is why the artist has inspired me. She so effortlessly depicts these traits in her art.

The newest Disney Princess is Anna. She is quirky and daring. She is impetuous and stubborn. She is everything a young girl is. And she has a sister who is as cold as ice but loves her all the same. Anna is soft and kind and finds her charming Kristoff while saving the kingdom and her sister. Her portrait and choice of lingerie is a definite reflection of her adventurous restless spirit and cold surroundings.

Last, but certainly not least, we have Queen Elsa. Yes, the only Disney Princess to become a Queen in her own right and the first to have magical powers. She is also seen as more of a villain in the beginning, which is a first for Disney. She is misunderstood, isolated and temperamental. She is also fiercely loyal and strong-willed and develops the ability to rule an entire kingdom. This artist is truly talented at being able to embrace these very awesome qualities in a stunning, and especially sexy way.

And they all lived happily ever after!

These princesses have inspired so many girls and women alike and are held in their hearts forever. Even as we see them through a more provocative light then we are used to it does not sour them for us. It endears them to us and makes them grow with us. It helps us to choose what we would like to wear for our Prince Charming. I thank Biaani for sharing the same vision as many of us and inspiring many young ladies to choose these fantastic lingerie inspiration based on her art. It’s truly amazing.

Celebrating Burlesque | Los Gatos San Francisco Bay Area Photography

Gypsy Rose Lee and Dita Von Teese: Fabulous Forces of Burlesque

I have always loved the art of Burlesque and how it titillates the senses. And when the word Burlesque is said, two very prominent names come to mind; Gypsy Rose Lee and Dita Von Teese! These fabulous women are known for their wit, their beauty, and most importantly their style.

Rose Louise Hovick, better known as Gypsy Rose Lee, joined the ranks of burlesque after a grueling childhood career in vaudeville with her talented siblings and her controlling stage mother, Mama Rose. Burlesque was her way of breaking from her past and embrace a form of entertainment that really brought her true essence to life. She also changed it in ways one would never imagine with her sharp wit and her expensive couture taste that dazzled the world over. She has been immortalized in the theater with the award-winning show Gypsy and literature with not only her own best selling novels and memories but literally hundreds of different pieces written in her honor. The show Gypsy has also been made into several different film renditions as well as appearing herself in many movies and TV shows. The best of all is grande modern burlesque shows, one most famously done by Dita Von Teese, all honoring how forever fabulous she is!

Here are some inspirational fashions from the ever enchanting Gypsy Rose Lee!

Heather Sweet, know the world over as Dita Von Teese, was a small town ballerina with bigger than life dreams of glory through glamor. She yearned for the old world existence of her role models from vintage Hollywood and the elegance the exuded. The moment she stepped into the big city there was no stopping her. She reinvented herself in the world of fetish modeling, often drawing inspiration from women like Bettie Page. Then she does it once more by reigniting the world of Burlesque, drawing from the only inspiration to draw from; Gypsy Rose Lee! She has since launched various different clothing, lingerie, hair, and makeup collections along with appearing in many movies, music videos as well as being a best selling author. She is truly an unstoppable woman!

Here are some inspirational fashions from the lovely and enticing Dita Von Teese!

Empowered, confident, intelligent women are the sexiest women alive! What better way to celebrate it than to honor the goddesses of burlesque!

Sexy Accessories | San Jose San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Photography

When doing a boudoir photo shoot keep it unique and keep it about you. It’s time for that sexy side to sizzle. The best way to do that is through accessories, but you never want to over accessorize simply because IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!! There are so many fun ways to do this that will not take away from that perfect shot!

Let’s go from top to bottom!

Hats are a great start. Often times you can play with a lot of different close-up shots. And there is a hat for every look and every type. Everything from a big Hollywood glamor look to a rustic cowgirl look, you’d be surprised about its versatility.

Now, personally, I am not a hat person. I’m not the only one either. But I can’t help but love a good headpiece of some kind. A great flapper style headband adorned with ornate fabrics and designs is one option that will enhance every picture.

Tiaras and different bejeweled hair accessories are essential for the perfect boudoir bridal photo. The tiara is best when worn with an elegant veil, but is just as stunning by itself to make your inner princess come to life.

But I can’t resist just keeping it simple and sexy with flowers in the hair. You can have a single rose sitting delicately on one side or have an entire arrangement placed throughout your hair of any flower you wish.

Make a statement with an alluring mask. Entice those who look to stare deep into your eyes and become mesmerized. Be as subtle or as decorative as you wish with this fanciful accessory.

Chokers are the sexiest types of necklaces. It hugs the neck with elegant styles and materials that make this ever sensual part of your body look longer and more delicate.

Pearls are as simple as can be along with being as sexy as ever. Pearls pair well with every boudoir outfit, but it is even more desirable when it stands alone. Wear it close to your neck like a choker, wrap it with layers around your neck, or wear them long as the pearls follow down the center of your body.

Go big and rocker with various types of draped chain. Gold is another personal favorite and letting the layers drape long and proud down every curve is so sexy.

One option, if you are not into a chain like I am but still want to make a big statement, is to go with big colorful beaded pieces. The more colorful the better!

But who could resist a wonderful jewelry set being the only outfit you wear. Let your jewels inspire the sexy in you.

And what better to match with your exquisite jewels than a stunning fluffy fur stole or fur coat. It can be faux or no, colorful or simple, and always soft to the touch.

Add a silky touch of something extra sexy with a pair of luxurious gloves. With such choices as lace, chiffon or satin, how could you not look glamorous? Have them long and simple or short and decorative to show off a unique you.

Fans are the most beguiling accessory and always makes for a fabulous photo. Even more so than then any hat, the fan can be a great prop for a captivating close-up like no other.

Body chains are the sexiest trend in boudoir accessories and with as many styles as there are ways to wear them you can not go wrong. When used for a photo shoot it often highlights the most arousing features.

Belts can also be a great addition to your choice of outfit. With a corset waist belt, you can cheat! You have the same classic look of a corset without having to lose your breath or deal with to many ties.

Chain belts are another great way to enhance your outfit and give you an edgy look that snugs closely and enhances your racy side.

Garters! Need I say more? And with so many styles to choose you can be anything from a blushing bride to subtle hints of s&m, however the mood strikes you.

Stockings? What’s more risque than stockings held up with a classic garter belt? It’s that vintage look that will never go out of style because it is so perfect, especially for a boudoir shoot.

You’re going to need one sexy pair of pumps to really make your stockings complete. Any color, any style and however high you want them is the best way to make your luscious legs reach to the stars.

But it’s not the only way to make your legs look spectacular. Boots! The higher the thigh the better! Make them look even more scandalous by wearing only your boots during your session.

From head to toe and everything in between, make sure the true sexy vixen that exists within every pearl clutching lady shines brighter than a diamond.

What To Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Photography

It’s night time and not a thing left to do. Date night is fun, but you want to make it unforgettable and dazzling. It’s time to go into your closet and pull out your trusty ‘After Dark’ look, complete with the perfect lingerie to finish the night off.

Purple is the color of royalty and you deserve to look like a queen. It can be a very dramatic statement or show a softer side of you depending on the shade. From it’s darkest to it’s lightest shades this versatile hue never ceases to impress your love.

Black is a go-to classic! It caters to every event. Whether it’s a gala gown, a little black dress or a wild rocker piece. The thing that makes black truly the best is the ability to mix and match colors and patterns since black goes with everything.

Red is the color of love, lust, desire, and everything that makes an after dark date even more fun. It’s an extremely powerful color that evokes a very raw emotion in not only the person wearing it but the person staring at you from across the room.

Dark teal is a color I feel is often overlooked for such an occasion. It is as versatile and sexy as your more classic colors. It also compliments every skin tone and body shape. Think of a colorful peacock when thinking of this magnificent color.

I know solid colors are fun and flirty, but you want to spice it up even more. Well, all that glitters is glamor for your date night. Don’t be afraid to sport those hand-sewn crystal embellishments and shimmery sequence with a boost of color!

No matter where the night takes you and that special ‘After Dark’ date, make sure it leads you to new adventures and experiences.
