Miss M - Lavish Boudoir

I thought M was in her mid-20s until she mentioned that she has a grown-up son!  Holy crap she looks phenomenal.  I loved everything about her unique look from the pixie hair cut to her teeny little ballet figure.  We had to cut her shoot short a bit so that she could get a few hours in at work, but we got some fantastic portraits of her.  Thank you, M, for finding time in your very very busy schedule to let me photograph you. makeup: Makeup by Adeana

My Christmas 2012

I've had a few clients wish to see a bit more of my (undoubtedly less sexy) personal life.  So I wanted to share some pics my mom just sent me from this past Christmas.

Ms. C - California - Lavish Boudoir®

I freaking loved C.  Here's my favorite C story.  Because I did this shoot in California, and we were extremely rushed to make the holiday deadline for my album company, I did a Google Hangout to show her the pictures.  I'd signed on just to check my settings and an invitation to "hang out" pops up from C.  I figured, "No problem," we could do the reveal then and there.  We connected and I started showing her pics.  After a couple of pics I realized she kept looking over her shoulder.  I asked her where she was and she told me she was shopping!  She couldn't even wait to get home to see them.  She is so beautiful and sweet.  C, thank you for allowing me to photograph you and trusting me to advise and style your shoot.  You're fabulous!

Ms. K - California - Lavish Boudoir®

When K and I met she was barefaced and had some adorable new bangs.  She was totally striking.  I hadn't met her before and I hadn't even seen a picture on Facebook.  My amazingly talented makeup artist Courtney Carmack of Kiss & Makeup gave her a glamorous cat eye and neutral lip.  We became friends on Facebook after the shoot and I was blown away that her style was so different from how we did her pictures.  K is self-proclaimed not to be much of a lingerie girl, so she asked if we could shoot without. Absolutely.  Her timeless look helped create some of my favorite portraits ever.  Thank you, K, for letting me photograph you (and for doing all that yoga that made you a great poser).

Ms. M - California - Lavish Boudoir®

M and I went to high school together. We hardly knew each other then, but mutual friends brought us back together for one amazing shoot.  Here's the thing... M came in absolutely gushing about how nervous she was.  I have a very hard time believing her because this girl nailed it.  We chatted about her 4 kids (yes you read that correctly) and how her husband would just love his Christmas present.  We had so much fun and I loved getting to know an old classmate.  Thank you, M for letting me share your beautiful portraits.  Good luck to you on #5.
