Miss L - Live Boudoir® Shoot

When I decided to host an open house, I knew that I HAD to do a live boudoir shoot.  Every single client of mine says, "I don't know how to model," or "I look awkward in photos and don't know how to be sexy."  I am constantly reassuring women that I will pose a client from lashes to toes.  I would never point a camera at woman and expect her to know what to do.   Trust me, I'd never sell a single photo.  :-) So when I put out the casting call, L bravely volunteered.  I wanted it to be just like a real client's shoot (with the addition of an audience), so we did a pre-shoot consult to talk about her wardrobe, her concerns and to get her psyched about her shoot.  What I did not do is coach her ahead of time.  She went into that day with as little prior experience as any woman.  Just as expected, she rocked it. Special thanks to Adeana, who created the flawless look which is such important groundwork for what I can do.

1) What did you take away from watching me shoot?

2) Isn't she stunning?

My first boudoir Studio Before

It's not official yet, because I'm working on the financial aspects, but here is the space that I'd like to turn into my dream studio.  Thank you for being part of making my dreams come true.

P.S. Tell your friends about me.  This studio is not cheap.  Haha.

Winks by Georgie

Holy cow, it's been ages since my last blog post.  Between the new baby and my work baby (the upcoming party), lavishboudoir.com has been severely neglected.  My bad.  Forgive me? So I want to introduce you to a fabulous new luxury I've discovered through a past client.  Winks are the most lavish way to get full, sexy lashes for special occasions, and of course a boudoir or beauty shoot.  The company is cruelty-free to animals and has a great little compact for storage and re-use.  I think that's freaking awesome because I'm constantly misplacing my lashes, or leaving them spider-like on the bathroom counter (which always startles whoever uses it after me).  The best part... the creator is from Georgia!  These lashes are sold in Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and other fancy retailers.

Thanks to the awesome company, I'll be giving away a gift set of lashes plus a compact at my party.  Don't forget to RSVP here to get two raffle tickets at the door!

Limited Time Product!

Another photographer introduced these to me and I thought that they were just too fun not to offer to my clients.  For the month of July, you can order one of these awesome retro-style image viewers.  Leave it laying around where your guy will see it and test how long it takes for him to pick it up and take a peek.  It will be his new favorite toy (well, second to you).

Viewer & One Reel - $75

Viewer & Two Reels - $100

Each reel features 7 portraits.

Introducing Leo!

He's finally here!

Baby Leo

Born June 14, 2012

7 lb. 2 oz and 20"

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers.  I'll be back to working with you beautiful ladies as soon as Leo can spare me.  I think he's going to have his mama's aptitude for photography.  He's already very visual.
