Real Women - Real Answers - What's Yours - #1

I'm starting out a new theme of posts each Monday.  Why Monday?  Because we are back at work and bored.  Right?  You've got the whole week ahead of you, so you can totally procrastinate a bit.  I'm not sure if you noticed, but today is in fact Tuesday.  Yesterday was a holiday and I hope that you had better things to do than check out blogs.  (Even though I'm sure this is the highlight of your day, right? Wink wink.)  Today, unfortunately means it feels like a Monday, but the good news is that you're just four days away from the weekend! Whenever your browsing for lingerie, you've got one of two people in mind... you or your guy.  We all know that he likes just about everything that involves you in something sexy, but

What type of lingerie do you wear to turn HIM on?

My guy is absolutely crazy for stockings and thigh-highs.  Silk, nylon, with or without garters, he LOVES them.  These are THE best.  Gorgeous, right?

Miss A... - Sacramento - Lavish Boudoir

First thing is first.  If you know Miss A... please do not spoil the surprise for her hubby.  After the wedding, I'll post them without the anonymous cropping.  Thanks!  

Miss A... was referred by a former client of mine (thanks Miss K) when I was home to Sacramento for some weddings and some shooting.  A... made a brilliant decision to hire Courtney of Kiss & Makeup to bring out her sexiest self.  A glass of champagne in hand, a best friend for moral support and she definitely felt at ease by the time we began shooting.  A... was game for anything and rocked it out like a star.  She brought the most adorable lingerie, including a sexy little slip from the Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Bride collection and a gorgeous pale lace slip and panty set.  Amazingly enough, her fiance had picked out that second slip for her.  It's really not often that guys pick out such beautiful pieces.  A... will be married later this year and present a gorgeous Supermodel album to her beloved.  Isn't that the perfect way to kick off a marriage?  Lucky guy!

Thanks A... for being one of the best of the best clients and for letting me share some of your favorites here on the blog.

Miss J's before & after - Atlanta, GA

We did J's shoot at a hotel in Atlanta.  The makeup artist, Latonya Beckum, had arrived so I went downstairs to greet her.  Standing in the lobby, this adorable woman walks by lugging a giant Victoria's Secret tote.  Of course I assumed it was J, so I stepped out and said hi.  J was so focused on mentally preparing for  her shoot, that she totally walked right by.  I was so embarrassed and figured that I had just greeted some random lady.  Turns out, it was J.  We laughed and got her straight up to the room to get her dolled up.  We talked about her kids, her husband and life in general while Latonya worked her magic.  The shoot was flawless and we ended up going a bit over-time.  Oops!  It was a treat to work with gorgeous J and I can't wait for her second shoot!

Miss K's Transformation - Before & After Boudoir

Miss K was such a delight to work with.  She was part of the boudoir marathon in Sacramento last summer.    Isn't she a knockout?  I think she looks like a young Nicole Kidman.

This gorgeous girl did everything right.  She knew what kind of pictures she wanted and practiced her expressions in the mirror.  As a result, every picture we shot was perfect!  We'll be shooting pin-up next week and I'm hoping she'll let me share an image or two from that.  Thanks K!

Miss C's Transformation - Before & After Boudoir Photos

I absolutely adore Miss C.  She and I actually go back a few years to her wedding day when I photographed the big event.  Since then, we've stayed in touch.  She is the first client who has permitted me to show a before and after boudoir photography.  She is a beautiful woman inside and out and it's a pleasure working with her.

Miss J - Highlight Reel

Miss J and I have done two mini shoots together.  One was boudoir and one was pin-up.  I had so much fun working with her.  Her enthusiasm and adorable personality makes her the ideal model.  Thanks Miss J.  I can't wait to shoot your bridal boudoir!  If you're having trouble viewing the video, click here.
