4th of july pin-up

We love that one of the many styles of boudoir portraits includes the outrageously adorable “Pin-Up” styling!  Sexy, retro and just generally HOT, Pin-Up is a style that will, well, pretty much never go out of style. And we think that the 4th of July is the PERFECT time to celebrate our country in the sexiest of ways. Pin-up-Poster-Girl looks and Independence Day pretty much go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you have been considering doing a Pin-Up themed boudoir shoot, let us show you some inspiration that is going to make you want to get all dolled up as soon as possible….

And who can celebrate Retro-Pin-Up-Independence-Day without a fabulous outfit!? We love this one available on Baby Girl Boutique.
And you know we are all about styling from head to toe when it comes to photo shoots, so it just wouldn’t be right not to leave you with some delicious pin-up hair and make-up inspiration! I wonder, can I even get away with just dressing like this and hitting the town??

Be still my overly inspired heart….

By | Inspiration | No Comments

I know this isn’t a boudoir photography video. But something about it just gets me all…. (and I am sure I am not alone as a boudoir photographer thinking this)… sappy about wanting every gal to feel as womanly as Natalie Portman is obviously feeling in this yummy, happy, sexy video. Every woman deserves to feel that! To ignite that little part of her sweet woman heart that says, “dang I’m lovely aren’t I!?!” Lol. Well, you may feel something different after watching this, maybe you just want to go buy perfume…. or maybe it will be that push to finally book that boudoir shoot you have been dreaming of…..

Time to make peace with your body…

boudoir confidence beauty quote

 

 

A boudoir shoot isn’t just about gorgeous photos, it’s a decision to say I am beautiful as I am. A new chapter in your life that says…I love who I am… I AM BEAUTIFUL.

We see all kinds of woman walk through our door, but more often that not at the start of a shoot we see a gorgeous, sexy, smart, strong, healthy woman….. who swears she needs to lose ten-twenty lbs. Buzz kill ;( Which is never true. What we love about women who get up the courage to do a boudoir shoot is that somewhere during the process of the photo shoot you see their mentalities start to shift. They get into it, they are feeling it, the jitters are gone and what’s left is raw confidence. Then they see images and it’s like they now understand what everyone else sees when they are looking at them. They grab hold of that new vision and most often decide that THIS is the new vision that have of themselves. This is who they are. Not the false negative version they have been holding in their heads….. it’s a new chapter and we love it. As boudoir photographers we feel beyond blessed to be a part of it!

Boudoir photographers out there, if you would like to re-post this, go for it! We just ask that you please link back to the blog. Boudoir photogs unite!

Let’s give ourselves grace….

quote boudoir beauty confidence

“I will hold myself to a standard of grace not perfection”.

We have so many clients tell us that they want to book and boudoir shoot, but first they have to work on (fill in the blank). Whether it’s lose a few pounds, work on their tushie toning, or grown their hair out, the of reasons to not feel up to par for us ladies is endless sometimes. Writing this post, I feel equally as guilty.

But what if instead of striving for perfection, we just gave ourselves a little bit of grace and saw the all the good. What if were grateful for that instead of picking ourselves apart? Try finding parts of your that are strong, health and beautiful and celebrate THAT!

What we love about boudoir photography, is that the women that do say, “okay, I am going to do this regarless of the fact that I have been putting this off because I feel like I need to lose 20 lbs”, leave the boudoir experience thinking, “dang, I look great!! What was I thinking!” And so today we invite you to view yourself through eyes and a posture of grace and gratitude. Ah….. it feels so good doesn’t it?

A simple truth…

By | Inspiration | No Comments

This simple quote is so true isn’t it? As a boudoir photographer, it seems that the woman that are most comfortable in their own skin are definitely the most beautiful. It’s not about being a certain size or having perfect hair. It’s simple about a glow that radiates self acceptance.
