Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting this courageous, confident woman named Trisha. She traveled all the way from New York to get her boudoir session with our studio, and the best part: it was her birthday! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a boudoir shoot! Trisha came in with some hot outfits, and some fabulous SHOES (my fave!). Once she arrived to the studio, she decided that she wanted to upgrade to our Supermodel Package (the top package)… which means she also gets a VIDEO of her photo shoot! She’s already agreed to let us use her images and her video on the blog, so I’ll definitely be posting those soon. But in the meantime, here’s a quick little message that Trisha wanted to share with all of you ladies out there who are thinking about booking a shoot with us. By the way… one of the perks of booking a shoot with our studio is the fact that you’ll be able to see your images on the SAME DAY, just one hour after your shoot! It’s so much fun to be able to have this amazing experience, and then view your images immediately afterward. During Trisha’s viewing, I just couldn’t help but smile, because all I could hear from the viewing room was ‘OhMyGosh’… ‘WOW’… over and over. There is nothing better than to know that I have been able to help a woman see herself in a new light, to help her gain a little extra confidence, and to show her that she is gorgeous! Thanks, Trisha, for celebrating your birthday with The Boudoir Divas, and thank you for trusting me as your photographer. You absolutely ROCKED your photo shoot, and I can’t wait for you to see the final result – with your album and with your Supermodel video! Happy Birthday! -Kimberlee
This is one of the hardest posts I have probably ever written on all our blogs. Crystal our studio manager will be leaving her normal duties for the fabulous gift of motherhood. Although we are so happy for her and hope that she will eventually still be able to be a part of the team in other smaller ways, it’s time to start the difficult task of trying to fill her shoes. Crystal thank you so much for lending us your talents to make our wonderful studio what it is today. Aside from your incredible photography talent, more than anything I am going to miss your dedication and fabulous work ethic. You were never afraid to get your hands dirty, and you never complained ever. I love your spirit and your attitude. You are a fab example of a team mate. Our days just won’t be the same without you and I hope we still see a lot of you.
With this change we are also looking to do a little bit of restructuring. The position that we will be looking to fill now is the studio concierge position as a trial that may last for a few months. If all goes well the new concierge we will be given more responsibility and a higher title. We ask that you email us your resume and tell us exactly why you are interested in this position and why you believe you would be a great candidate. Please note that this is not a photography position. The hours we be 30-40 hours per week and would vary based on the schedule. Our email address is [email protected]. When you email us we will also provide you with a more detailed description of the position.
and create even sexier, even more fashion forward images. Gone are the days when boudoir looked like it was shot in front of a backdrop. We want it to look like the boudoir photo was ripped right out of Vogue or Maxim. We are always striving to make sure our clients images are nothing but the best.
Right now I am having some fun working on our new “Set Menu” and I came across these images of Miss B. This pretty lady had her shoot a couple of weeks ago and she and I had so much fun creating this look. It is a variation on our “Fashion Loft” set and Lady B rocked it brilliantly and was so fun and easy to photograph. Thank you so much for giving us permission to share B.
Ladies what do you think? Are you loving this burlesque stage look? Do you want it for your boudoir photo shoot?
The package that Miss B got included an 8×8 Designer Bombshell Book, but she chose to swap it out for our 10×10 Art Book for no extra charge, and then she added spreads because (as I knew she would!) loved the photos and wanted more in her album and the Art Book is the best way to make that work.
Yes, we know it’s no longer Spring, but what the heck. We want to make our clients happy. So for now, the special stands 🙂
Psst… hint hint… we use Bay Photo for our Art Books, they are called “Print Press Books” on www.bayphoto.com
So I was waiting to blog about it until I saw Crystal talk about it on Facebook. Because as we all know, once it’s on Facebook it’s officially world-wide public knowledge. She said this the other night on the FB, “felt baby kick/move last night while my hand was right next to him/her on my tummy…cannot stop thinking about it & smiling. Overjoyed.” We are too Crystal. We know that this baby will be beyond blessed with love and the true gift of having parents who love Him, our Lord. We love you and are so proud of you.
FYI: As I am sure you all know Crystal is our fabulous studio manager and photographer. She is probably the best studio manager on the planet. What in the heck are we going to do with ourselves without her???
Ps. Congrats to Mr. Carr as well. We didn’t forget you Brian 😉
The other day we were opening our mail, and getting excited about all the new Boudoir International sign ups we have been receiving, when we came across this photographer and addition to the Boudoir International site. Erin Michelle wrote one of the sweetest notes we have ever received and she was kind enough to let us share it with you all! This is definitely one of the best parts of our job and thank you Erin, for taking the time to write us. You can check out her site at The Boudoir Maven.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a little adventure of what happened at the Phoenix tour stop. Just another one of those random situations we get ourselves into. 😉
We’re really enjoying being a part of Showit‘s FREEDOM TOUR 2010… there is some amazing talent on this tour… and we are also meeting some amazing photographers! We’re currently in Washington DC, at this awesome coffee shop where the showit tour is being held tonight, and we are pinching ourselves as we realize that this is our job. How freakin’ lucky are we? We’re excited to sleep on the tour bus again tonight, heading to New York for the next tour stop tomorrow night. There are still some tickets available so if you’re interested, check it out here! We’ll be shooting a few more videos of the randomness that happens on this tour, if you’re interested. You’ll be getting an insider’s view of where we’re sleeping on the bus… and also a new boudoir posing idea from Promise Tangeman… so stay tuned. 🙂
We also have to give a huge shout-out to the wonderful musical talent on this tour: Miss Molly Jenson! She’s currently playing some beautiful melodies w/ very cute lyrics… I’m enjoying listening to her play as I’m sitting here blogging! if you haven’t heard her stuff, you’ve got to go check it out – and then download her music!
So we have been toying with the idea of the Caribbean and the votes are definitely leaning in that direction majorly. I was just day dreaming today when I should have been working so I wanted to post my happy little fantasy up here to share. No matter if we go to Paris or the Caribbean we will be opening our shop to reserve your spot for the special boudoir workshop mid to late July so start your planning. The workshop should be either late April to early May depending on availability. These workshops are serious wealth of info as we don’t hold back anything! Not to mention you get to write off your vacation!!! We are so lucky to be photographers!
Check out this sweet review on the Surefire Photography Blog! We’ve got a video that we’ll be posting soon (it documents a trek through the desert of Arizona)… We had a great time in AZ; thanks to all the awesome photographers who made it out! Looking forward to the next 2 stops on the tour that we’ll be at: Washington DC & New York next week!
