So a couple weekends ago we went to San Diego’s annual Bridal Bazaar held at the San Diego Convention Center Downtown. It was a great turnout and we met a ton of potential clients! We have even booked 4 shoots in just 5 days after the show 🙂 Here is a short recap of the bridal bazaar and what we used for our booth this year.
Thanks to Bay Photo for providing our awesome products!
We LOVE the fact that we’re finally able to say… “BOUDOIR IS BACK!” The Divas’ San Diego studio was lucky enough to be featured on our local news (“Good Morning San Diego!”)
We’re so excited, and so honored to have been featured this morning on KUSI‘s “Good Morning San Diego” show!
You may have seen us this morning on a few live segments between 7:30-8:30am. If you missed us, we’ll ALSO be on again tonight, on the 6:00 news! It’ll probably be toward the end of the evening news, between 6:45-6:55, so check it out! (Channel 9 for KUSI in San Diego) We are so honored that KUSI is featuring The Boudoir Divas San Diego! If you’re interested in booking a shoot, please feel free to give us a call here at the studio, and we’ll give you pricing information and chat with you about the photo shoot experience! (858-485-0443). Or email us! [email protected] or click here to fill out our contact form for more info.
Mike from KUSI cracked us up as he told San Diego who and what our boudoir photography studio was about. We especially loved the boudoir poses he demonstrated! Too funny. They may become a Boudoir Divas staple.
Total hams here, how I love being interviewed for publicity sake! Yes! Thank you KUSI for exposing boudoir photograph’s new fresh facelift.
Here is what happens if you set down a mic in our studio….Ashley and Peggy steal the show, literally. Looks like they had a lot to say. Thank you to Miss Peggy Roggers who hooked us up with majorly fabulous make-up and hair. For those of you booking a shoot with us, Peggy is our in house make-up gal extraordinare. You will be in great hands.
Thank you to April, a sweetheart of a client who got up at 4am to help us out with the segment.
And another thank you to Stephanie who helped us out tremendously as well. It can be hard to be “sexy” at 5am and these
girls pulled it off brilliantly.
A reminder that we will be on the 6:30 news tonight on KUSI! Tune in. 🙂 Just goes to show that if you don’t succeed, try, try again. It took three press releases over a years time to get this fab news station in our door and we are thrilled to say the hard work pair off. Thank you again KUSI.
The Boudoir Divas received the cutest and sweetest gift from Michelle OCampo, Michelle OCampo Photography. She found it at a thrift store and thought it would be a perfect addition in our San Diego Studio, and she is totally right! We love seeing all the old Pin-Up poses and women!
Thanks again Michelle, you are awesome and so thoughtful! 🙂
Yes, we use the word “Favie.” And yes, we know it’s not a real word. Whatever. Ok, SO… if you watched our video from yesterday (see the next blog post)… you’d know that we’re ABOUT to decide whether or not we’re going to add on an extra workshop week in Paris! All of this Paris talk has got us thinking about how much we LOVE it over there, and we’re already making a plan of all the places we HAVE to see again. At the top of the list is this: The Chateau de Versailles!
It was one of our absolute FAVORITE places to visit, and while we were there, we definitely channeled our “inner Marie Antoinette!” And, as usual, we had to document our adventures with one of our dorky little videos! 🙂
So we’ve already started planning our next trip to Paris, and we’re thinking about all the things we’d like to do while we’re there. At the top of the list is Versailles again. Last year we spent the whole day in a few of the gardens; we never even got to venture inside the palace! And I also just recently discovered that there’s an entire area that we didn’t get to see last time – Marie Antoinette’s estate, including the Petite Trianon, and her living quarters (such great inspiration for boudoir!) Check out this website for an interactive map (it’s the best map I’ve found for Versailles!) If you’re planning on joining us for the workshop in Paris, we HIGHLY recommend that you stay a few extra days for sight-seeing… and if you’re anything like Marissa & I, who love this time period and all the French inspiration for boudoir, you have GOT to take a day trip out to Versailles. Oh, and also… If you haven’t followed our blog for very long, we should probably explain the 2 guys in the video… first, there’s Marissa’s husband, Weston, who is an amazing photographer – and he’s also in a sick band called Spero Lumina. So then his best friend Brian is the other guy… while in Paris, these 2 were quite helpful with some of the technical details we needed to work out for the workshop (thanks, guys!) They became known as the “Broadies” — and we all had tons of fun in Paris w/ a great group of friends, photographers, and models! What could be better than living in Paris for a few weeks?!
Let us know what you think about these 4 ideas… leave your feedback in the comment box below, OR shoot us an email: [email protected]… Thanks!! xoxo, The Divas
Our San Diego workshop is just around the corner! It will be held in our adorable 4,500 square foot studio between February 9 and 11, 2010. The workshops held at our studio are extra special because you get to see EVERYTHING we offer to our clients AND shoot models using some of our custom sets to add to your portfolio! Here are what past attendees are saying:
If you are still on the fence about attending our San Diego Workshop and want more information, this video talks about EVERYTHING The Boudoir Divas go over at our workshops!
Reserve your spot now by going to our Boudoir Shop! If you have any additional questions, feel free to email Ashley at [email protected]. We hope to see you in February!
The Boudoir Divas just wanted to share our newest backdrop addition to our San Diego Studio! Drop it Modern has some awesome backdrops and they are such great quality! I couldn’t believe how thick and heavy the backdrop was and even with it all folded up (and in beautiful packaging) that it wasn’t wrinkled at all when we put it up. Go here to check out all their fun options!
ALSO, if you are attending any of WORKSHOPS coming up (even our Mini-Shop in VEGAS!) you will get a chance to shoot using this backdrop! THANKS DROP IT MODERN!
Hmmm… ok, that’s a complete lie. I think I have pretty much the BEST job in the whole world. M & I spend a LOT of time in this office… sometimes 12 or 14-hr-days… so sometimes, we just need to take a quick break and have a little fun. I have a folder on my computer titled ‘Random Office Videos’ – and there are TONS of crazy/quirky/dorky videos in there. Here are just a few of the random scenes from recent months:
Ha! Ok, so on another, more serious note… we’ve got a newsletter going out later today or tomorrow, so be sure you’re signed up on the list to get the news! We also still need to announce the winners of our drawings for the Posebook & the Boudoir Party Packet (the 2 names will be drawn from all of the peeps who came to hear us speak at Imaging USA).
We would like to extend a big congrats to fab boudoir photographers Carolina and Zekeshem at www.Room3307.com
You won the Totally Rad contest and we will be sending your “Dirty Pics” Prize via email. We loved this shot and we look forward to seeing how you use the textures for your upcoming boudoir photos. Best of luck to you and your biz!
xoxo-Â The Divas
