We just LOVE Jolie Wraps. They have been so good to us and were kind enough to sponsor an album wrap for each attendee at our San Diego workshop in November (which everyone loved!). We saw Jolie Wraps announced this wrap is available for sale on their website now and wanted to give them a big THANK YOU for sponsoring these wraps and to tell everyone they are totally awesome and beautiful! Check them out HERE
Thanks for everything you do Jolie Wraps!
We seriously would not be able to put on our San Diego Workshop without these generous sponsors (in no particular order): Bay Photo, Jolie Wraps, White House Custom Colour, Totally Rad Actions, KISS Books, Neil Enterprises, ShowIt, and ShootSac

Hey workshop ladies! We wanted to let you know that we’ve opened up THREE appointment times for a boudoir shoot on the day after our workshop in November. One of our attendees has already snagged one of the shoot times, so if you’re interested in booking a shoot, you’ll want to get in touch with us ASAP to reserve one of the other spots that are still open. We really recommend that all boudoir photographers do something like this… it’s SUCH as great way to see what your clients feel like when they’re in a boudoir shoot with you. We have 2 different packages for you to choose from on the 13th; either the “Luxe” or the “Full” Package, and one of our studio staff photographers will be taking good care of you and giving you the full Boudoir Divas’ Supermodel Experience! Questions? Call! 858.485.0443
*****EDIT TO ADD: we only have ONE shoot left now! Call the office for more details: 858.485.0443
Ceremony magazine is so dang sweet to us. They will be doing a boudoir feature on us in the next edition, YAY!!! And we will also being doing a full page boudoir ad with them. This is where I need your help….So I can’t say that I am indecisive. No, I am actually quite decisive in that I answer very quickly. What I do tend to do though is change my mind five-ten minutes later. And then again, five to ten minutes after that. Well, I never said I was perfect. Lol. In fact I could never take myself too serious because then I couldn’t possibly be taken seriously. If you know me personally you prolly know exactly what I am talking about. ~M
SO PLEASE HELP US OUT!! LET US KNOW WHICH ONE YOU LIKE BETTER BY LEAVING A COMMENT BELOW. THANKS! 🙂
