YAY! We are sooooo excited to announce that….
That’s right… the Boudoir Divas photography studio will be featured on the news tomorrow morning, on FOX channel 5 news! Heather Ford (the fabulous Fox 5 reporter) will be here doing a few features on our studio, all about the boudoir experience, our “Mama-To-Be”™ maternity photo sessions, and our Pin-Up Parties!™
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.
So I know we told you all that invites were going out yesterday, and sorry if we scared any of you waiting for an invite and you thought you didn’t receive one! BUT, they have finally been sent out! There were so many wonderful photographers it took us awhile to compile the list and we are so grateful for all your patience and support as we launch this new venture. 🙂 So check your inbox in the coming hours for your invitation. We are very excited about this International Boudoir Referral List and we hope you all are too!

Ashley here 🙂 Kimee and I are just starting to get back to a regular routine at our San Diego Studio after being in Paris for two workshops and dealing with all the chaos the volcano in Iceland caused: disrupting travel plans, delaying flights, canceling our models and many attendees trips, and over all making it much more stressful than it needed to be! Marissa and her hubby, Weston, are still doing a little traveling on their own and we can’t wait for them to get back! But even with all the craziness, it was still a successful couple of weeks and we enjoyed meeting all of our amazing attendees! One of our attendees, Laura from Laura Evans Photography, joined us at our second workshop, just posted a blog about her experience at our workshop. If you have been considering a workshop, and maybe wanted a little insight from someone who has been to one already, check this out. Thanks so much for sharing Laura and we are so happy you joined us and enjoyed your time at our Paris workshop!
The Boudoir Divas were invited by PPA to host a webinar on March 22nd, and for those who joined us, we hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed hosting! If for some reason you were unable to watch the live PPA Webinar, or would just like a copy to keep and review, you can go to the PPA Webinar section to download it!
Don’t forget that we (Marissa, Kimberlee, and Ashley) will be heading to PARIS next week to teach two workshops! For those who attending, we can’t wait to meet all of you. 🙂 For those who can’t make it, make sure to keep checking this blog and our TWITTER account for updates!

We’ve been dropping hints about our referral list on our blog for a while, and a few of you have already emailed to tell us that this is something you’d be interested in. And the great news is that it’s coming SOON! We’re working on the finishing touches of the referral list, and we’re about to start taking applications for photographers who would like to join! Why did we decide to create our referral list? In short, it’s because we get TONS of inquiries every week from potential clients from across the US and around the world who are interested in finding a boudoir photographer that has a similar style to our photography… and we would LOVE to have a place where we can list the TOP BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHERS in every city, state, and country worldwide! So… wanna join our list??? Well, once this baby is officially launched, we’ll have a lot of info & details, but in the meantime, here’s what we’re asking you to do in order to start the process of joining…
SEND US AN EMAIL! ([email protected]), and tell us:
1) Your name
2) City (where you’d like to be listed)
3) A link to your website/boudoir portfolio
We’ll be finishing up the boudoir referral site SOON, so we’ll get in touch with you if we’d like to feature you as a part of our Boudoir Divas referral list! Thanks so much to all of the HUNDREDS of boudoir photographers from around the world who have already submitted your requests to be added to our list. We’ll be in touch soon! xoxo, Kimberlee & Marissa
