Welcome to another wonderful Tushy Tuesday!
This lovely shot was taken during a Sun Kissed evening session at our San Jose studio. I love the soft sun light!
Tushy shots are almost always approved for sharing, which is pretty awesome, and what woman doesn’t want a great shot of her tush? Let’s face it, we usually only see those ones that were taken at the most unflattering moment. Haha. Let us capture that gorgeous tushy shot that you can be proud of!
Happy Friday, everyone!
So Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was a few weeks ago, and I have to admit, although I blog about fashion (and watch Project Runway), *that* kind of fashion is something I know little about. Even when I lived in New York City all it really meant to me was a few extra crowds on my commute.
Anyway, I caught a snippet of news a week or so ago from Fashion Week that I thought was interesting, and filed it in the “I should blog about that†part of my brain. I nearly forgot about it, but thankfully it popped back into my mind just in time for this week’s post.
Ready (I guess you probably already know what it is from the title of this post)?
Britney Spears has launched her own lingerie line called The Intimate Britney Spears (pretty clever name, huh?). While I’ve never been a huge Britney fan, and she’s far from the first celebrity to have a lingerie line, I was very curious about her designs. I didn’t really know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. They’re cute, classy, fairly affordable, and appear to be pretty wearable too! Here are some of my favorites: 
This bra and panty are from the Angelica Story (story=collection) and I think the colors are so soft and pretty. My favorite part, however, is the back of this panty, which has Tushy Tuesday written all over it! 
 
I also love this soft pink kimono, which is also from the Angelica Story, and is perfect for a boudoir session. It could be paired with a pretty bra and panty set underneath – or nothing! 
Taking a turn from soft and pretty is the Anemone Story, which is a bit more overtly sexy, but still has some soft touches. 
And finally, this set is from the Amaryllis Story, which is totally sexy and super timeless. You can’t go wrong with black lace and cream! The Intimate Britney Spears is available online and in a few select boutiques in North America and Europe.
In addition to boudoir-worthy styles, the line also features quite a few everyday basics too. What do you think of Britney’s new line? Let us know in the comments!
If you are happening on the blog for the first time, welcome to this fun feature that I lovingly call Tushy Tuesday!
Since most women don’t feel that they have an ideal tushy, I try and capture a cute tushy shot during boudoir photo sessions in hopes that each lady will see that her tushy is quite fabulous. Then, if given permission, I share that fabulous tush here on a Tuesday, because tushies come in all shapes and sizes and they are all worth showing off. So behold, another fabulous tush!– oh, and cute hubby to boot, ladies. 😉
P.S. This wonderful tushy, belongs to a fellow photographer, Leslie, of Lavish Boudoir in Georgia. Be sure to check her out if you’re in that area!
This is a sneak peek of a fun session to come. My girlfriend Devon(who you’ll see featured below) helped me make my first tulle skirt for the studio. It’s black and it’s really pretty! I have plans for at least two to three more(white is next, which will be amazing for bridal sessions!!!). These are pieces that will be available for use in the studio. We already have a few items and I’m excited to add some more glamour piece for clients to use. I’ve had one client wear the skirt topless with strategic arm placement. *wink, wink*
So many possibilities!
This first look is softer and brighter.
This second look is a little more artsy.. in the hallway with an edgier processing. So MANY possibilities!
So there you have it, a fun and fabulous skirt that is now available for use during your Beauty or Boudoir session.
Watch for more images coming soon!!
  I finally got to shoot my first mother/daughter session and it was AMAZING! These two ladies were gorgeous and a BLAST to work with. I know you’ve heard me say that we laugh a lot during sessions but this one had to take the cake. They were so goofy and I could not believe how many laughing shots I got, which of course became some of the favorites from their session!
They chose to do a formal look and a casual look and no matter what they wore they both looked fabulous. During a double or even triple Beauty session (I think this would make for an amazing generations shoot) I take some time and do individual shots, as you will see below. So now take a peek and let me(and these lovely ladies) know what you think!
They totally cracked up right after the “Now try and look a little more serious…” I mean come on, I can’t even look at these shots without giggling– plus, they are both so beautiful. 🙂
I took some time and played around a little with this flower shot. I want to get into doing some digital art for myself and this was a fun shot to play with. I love the sun kissed results– this was done inside the studio… no sun.
So there you have it a beautiful mother/daughter session that they will have to cherish for many years to come!
So are you ready to book YOUR beauty session in our lovely San Jose studio? Want to make it a day to remember? Why not do the shoot with your bestie, sister, cousin… there are so many possibilities!
I love Fall! Starbucks and Peet’s tell me it’s already here with their sweet pumpkin treats, but the weather here in sunny Southern California proves otherwise. This is my fourth Fall in California and I wish I could say I miss East Coast Fall less and less, but the opposite is true. Of course, these feelings quickly fade when my old hometown is buried in snow and it’s below zero outside, but I do long for the beautiful foliage and crisp cool days.
This year I’m in luck because I’m heading to Connecticut to visit my folks next week. While it’s 88 degrees here, it’s about 68 degrees there, and I couldn’t be happier.
The irrational part of me wants to go shop for some new Fall clothes, but with a new home currently under construction, that’s probably not the best use of cash right now. Besides, my warm clothes have been hidden in the back of my closet for so long now that they’ll probably feel new anyway.
I will, however, be getting a nice Fall mani/pedi next week. I’m a little too excited about this, and already purchased my polish at Target a few days ago. (I like to use my own polish for mani/pedis before I travel so that I can easily fix any chips.) I decided to go with Essie’s Berry Naughty, which is a gorgeous deep berry, and thought it’d be fun to daydream about some new Fall duds to go with it. Here are some of my favorites:
Friday already? My brain is still on Labor Day Weekend mode, but I guess I’m a little behind this week.
I’m still in a post-vacation fog after returning from my second trip to Las Vegas this summer, so I took to Etsy this week to dig up some fun fashion finds for you. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a big fan of Etsy and have a real appreciation for anything hand made.
Since just about anyone can open an Etsy shop, there’s often a lot of junk to weed through, but that’s kind of the fun part, and makes it even more rewarding when you find something good.
It didn’t take me long to find something good this time around, and that something good is a handmade lingerie shop called “On the Inside.†I was immediately drawn to this shop because of their tagline, “Comfortable Lingerie, Lovingly Made.†Sexy + comfortable is a winning combo in my book, and I think shop owner Elise Olson really hit the nail on the head with her company description.
In addition to being incredibly cute, most of the lingerie can be ordered in a standard size OR custom made based on your own measurements at no extra charge, which really alleviates the risk of buying lingerie online.
And now for some of my favorites from the shop…
**Please note that these are not Boudoir Coterie images, they are directly from the Etsy shop**
I love everything about this set! I love the color, the fact that it’s made from soft bamboo jersey fabric, it’s sexy, and being modeled by a gorgeous woman with curves.
I’m a sucker for a pretty nightie that’s actually comfortable enough to sleep in, and this one looks like it fits the bill.
Here’s another great set. I love the how the black lace and bold colors make it perfect for a boudoir session, but it’s also practical enough for every day wear.
In addition to all the unique styles on the site, On the Inside also offers panty and lingerie set of the month clubs. How neat is that? It’s never too early to start holiday shopping!
