Fashion Friday Behind the Scenes | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir Coterie Portrait photographyFriday 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 – Anthropologie 

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!

Fashion Friday Bridal Boudoir | San Jose Boudoir Photography

Boudoir Coterie Portrait photography

Happy Fashion Friday!

Bridal Boudoir is becoming more and more popular these days (if you don’t believe me – take a look at Pinterest!) and there are so many cute outfit options. If you’re planning a bridal boudoir session and need some inspiration, read on!

I had a boudoir photo session about a year ago as a gift for myself (okay, it was actually a gift for my husband-to-be, but if you’ve had a boudoir photo shoot you know what I’m talking about!). Bridal was one part of the session, but looking back I really put a lot more effort into my other two outfits. With all of the other wedding planning I had going on, when it came to the bridal part of my session, I just grabbed a cute white bra and panty set from Victoria’s Secret and called it a day. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a good bra and panty set, I was really just in a rush and had no idea how many other options there were.

If you’re in the midst of planning a wedding AND a bridal boudoir photo shoot, here are some fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Now that I’ve found all of these, I might just have to have an anniversary session one day. White isn’t really just for brides anyway. bridal boudoir

 

Clockwise:

When you’re planning for a bridal session, don’t forget about accessories. One of the easiest things to do is to wear your wedding accessories if you already have them. Might as well kill two birds with one stone. Flowers also make a great prop and they don’t have to be anything too fancy. I’m a big fan of a simple bouquet with just one type of flower like we have shown HERE in one of my past bridal posts. It’s a great way to add a pop of color without being a distraction. Or, if you happen to be splurging for a trial bouquet and time it right, you could always use that too.

Want to schedule a bridal boudoir session? Give us a call or shoot us an email today!

Fashion Friday Sheer & Sexy for Spring | San Jose Boudoir Photography

Boudoir Coterie Portrait photographyIt might not feel like it for most of the country, but here in California, Spring is in the air!

While you might not be able to wear your Spring wardrobe quite yet, this is a great time to clear out, re-organize and revamp your closet. That goes for lingerie too!

I’m good with my “regular clothes,” but more often than not I’m guilty of buying new lingerie instead of re-wearing my favorite pieces, but I’m trying to get better. (Though I do have to admit, I do love when I re-wear something and my husband asks if it’s new. LOL.)

Anyway, if you’re guilty of the same crime, I think one of the best ways around it is to buy items that can be re-worn in different ways.

One great piece that fits the mold is a robe – and no – I’m not talking about the cozy fleece robe you wear to keep warm (I’m not the only one, am I?). I’m talking about sheer and sexy robes.

The beauty of a sheer robe is that you can switch up what you’re wearing underneath. You can wear it over a teddy, nightie, bra and panty set – or – nothing! Here are a couple of my favorites:

I really like black lingerie because it’s so versatile and always classy. There are so many different things you could pair these robes with. I like the idea of going for a mostly monochromatic look, with fun details or small pops of color to spice things up. Here are a few bra and panty sets from journelle.com that would work well.

Black is always a safe option, but if you’ve got room and your budget  (and your closet), don’t be afraid to go for a little color too. I love the bird pattern on this one. There happens to be a bra and panty set to match, but I also think it would look great with something cream colored underneath.

Now that you’re feeling inspired and ready to re-vamp your closet, why not schedule a boudoir session with your sexy new stuff? We’re now offering Coterie Petite sessions for ladies with a tight budget too!

Surgery Update | San Jose Boudoir Photographer

I wanted to let everyone know that I am doing well.  The surgery was a success.  The surgeon discovered that all artificial knuckles were still inserted in the bone.  We had suspected that they had all come out when in fact all four joints had simply dislocated.  This was good news because we were worried that if the joints had come out of the bone, replacing them with the futile.

Thankfully my pain has been minimal, it’s just frustrating only having one hand to use.  On Friday my boys accompanied me to the doctors, both were dressed as clone troopers and I felt like I had personal bodyguards. HAHA. Unfortunately it seems that I will be living in sweat pants for the next few weeks.  Most of my pants are too hard to do up with one hand, well, my remaining crippled hand that is. 😉

In other news, I discovered that my computer has voice recognition software.  I was getting really frustrated trying to type and use capitals with one hand and was mostly giving up so I was typing with all lowercase.  Would you believe that I’m dictating this whole blog posts?  This is so awesome and I am so excited, like giddy child just given ice cream on a hot day, excited. Like, husband handed an album full of pictures of his sexy hot wife, excited. Wait, not quite that kind of excited, but you know what I mean.

As for appointment times I may have one or two sessions still available in May(three consultations this week so those might fill quickly) but I still have spots available for June, perfect for late summer and Fall brides!

Lots of sexy images to come in the following weeks!

Sexy Sports Theme Boudoir | San Jose Boudoir Photography

With Major League Baseball Season fast approaching I only thought it fitting to share this session and dangit if it hasn’t been on my “To Share” list for 2 years now. Pathetic, yes I know. But what’s awesome is that this fabulous client is now my fabulous assistant. Hi Regina! Not the first, nor the last client to enjoy herself so much that they wanted to join the Coterie team. I guess that means I’m doing something right! 🙂

I often get gals wanting a few shots with that special someones favorite jersey, or maybe a football or some sort of sports memorabilia but this is the only full set I have done in all a teams glorious gear and it was a lot of fun! I wish I had some football shots to share as we have all been bombarded with football this past week and all the excitement that surrounded the playoffs and oh to have some Superbowl Boudoir. Sigh. Maybe someday. Hahaha

But for now, it’s baseball, so here you go folks and if your an Oakland A’s fan… even better!

I love that she brought the bat too! 🙂

P.S. If I remember correctly, I think this is her hubby’s favorite team, not hers. Oh the things we do for love. Hahaha.

So what is your favorite sport and who’s your favorite team?
