Let me preface this by saying that the site is still under construction. π Please be patient with us as we continue to work on it a little at a time over the next few weeks. With WPPI coming up, we’re working like mad to get everything ready for the workshop, KISS demo shoot, our tradeshow booth… and the launch our brand new product! With that said, we are just so excited and happy to announce that our new SHOWIT site has been launched! HERE IT IS!
Our contact forms aren’t up & running yet, but should be by the end of the week. Another thing we’re excited about… a place for you to vote for the next locations for our workshops! So much fun stuff on here, and we have a LOT more planned for the site, so be sure to keep checking in with it. π Ok, go check it out! TheBoudoirDivas.com

That’s right… Debi & her daughter Amanda are the 2 lucky ladies who just took the last seats for our Vegas workshop! We’ve capped the attendance at 14 people, and we can’t go over that – because we’re shooting in small spaces (hotel rooms!) If you’re interested in seeing us shoot a boudoir session in Vegas, we still have a couple spots left for our KISS demo shoot on Valentine’s Day! We’ve also got a fun mini-workshop set for early MARCH in DALLAS! Details will be sent out this week…
Looking forward to meeting everyone in Vegas!!!!
*New website will be launched!
*Our NEW SONG will be released! (Awesome song by Melissa Vaughan, written exclusively for the Boudoir Divas!)

***Edit to add: we’ll also be sending out some video tutorials on how to use our Boudoir Divas actions, for those of you who have purchased our bundle.
Oh man, ok… just thought of ONE more thing we’ll be announcing this week: Our mini-workshop (1-day event) in DALLAS TX!!! We’ve had quite a few people email about this possibility, so we’re going to go for it! It’s going to be a Saturday, all-day event focused on shooting & processing. We’ll get more details out there soon!
Hey everyone… yes, it’s true. We will no longer be offering out “Boudoir Bundle” after Monday, Feb. 9th. NO EXCEPTIONS – sorry! If you have our book and you’ve been thinking about upgrading to the bundle, you only have 2 more weeks to think about it. π If you want to purchase this baby [or upgrade], click here!
I made this little video for our DWF presentation, so that we could share a glimpse of Marissa’s beautiful baby… she & Weston and the rest of the staff at WC have worked incredibly hard on this place, and it is just such a gorgeous studio. At our Vegas workshop we’ll be giving a ‘virtual tour’ of the studio, with some longer video footage, so that our attendees will be able to see all the details and the whole layout of this 4500 sq-foot studio. For the rest of you, here’s that video, if you’re interested in taking a look! Thanks!

 ***Note about the video & studio⦠we are not showing this to say that everyone needs a 4500 sq-ft studio to shoot boudoir. You can be JUST as successful doing it other ways. For example, shooting boudoir marathons at hotels. In our book, we explain how we used a garage studio with very simple sets & easy lighting set-ups⦠and we made it work for our business. There are different ways of doing it; find what works for you!
Just a few more photos from our time in AZ for the 09 DWF Conference… Thanks again to Jeff Caplan & DWF for inviting us to speak this year!
One thing you must know about the two of us. We love to dance. This is a serious love. Like big-time, all-for-fun, not-caring-what-we look-like, don’t-leave-the-dance floor til they shut-it-down- kind of LOVE. Thankfully we have some friends who also love it as much as we do. We had so much fun hanging out with these guys… Shaun Austin, Kevin Swan, Nathan Holritz, & our wonderful friend Candice. Can’t wait for WPPI next month. If anyone is up for dancing, just let us know – we’ll be there. π
We LOVED our mentor sessions! It was so wonderful meeting each of you ladies, and we hope that our paths will cross again very soon. Thanks again, Jen, for arranging the mentor sessions this year!
Thanks to Larz for taking some shots of us during our “Boudoir Is Back” presentation. Check out some more of his photos here!
AND – we also have to give a big shout-out to our amazing volunteer model, miss Kate Wall. She was such a trooper, letting us put her in all of these crazy poses for the demonstration. Kate is also a fabulous photographer… check out her site! Thank you so much for your help, Kate! We can’t wait to hang out with you more in Vegas!
If you’re interested, here’s a [very] short, 20-second clip of our DWF presentation… Rather than just leaving you feeling inspired, our goal at every workshop & speaking program is to have you leave with solid ideas for your business. In our past presentations, we received a lot of feedback from people stating that the posing section of our talk was the most valuable. So for DWF 09, we decided to really focus on the posing aspect of boudoir. Thanks again to everyone who came to hang out! π

There are going to be some changes around here in the next week, as we get ready to launch our site! We’ll be moving our blog, so it may be unaccessible for you guys in the next few days. Please bookmark the following website, and then check back SOON because it will be switched over to this new domain! [http://www.thedivasblog.com]
We are also in the process of setting up a brand-new storefront – called the “Boudoir Shop”β’ – where you will be able to make purchases, register for workshops, etc… it’s going to be very user-friendly! We’ll announce when it’s open! π
And, of course, our new website. Coming very very soon! π
The title of our workshops… and the title of our speaking presentations…
We are just oh-so-excited to see that in a very short time, boudoir has finally started to make a very cool comeback! Over the past year, more and more photographers have started offering boudoir. More and more vendors are starting to create products & marketing programs that focus around boudoir. And boudoir is starting to get a fresh look. It’s just so exciting! π
Also, while we’re talking about workshops & such… it looks like we may throw together a mini-workshop in the Dallas area, probably in March. I’m trying to gauge the interest to see what location we’ll want to hold the workshop at, so if you’d be interested in joining us for a 1-day workshop (full day, about 8 hours)… let me know!
