Take a look at what I’ve been up to…
Not only is she stunning, but to make this photo 10x more exciting, this is one of the first shoots in my brand spankin’ new studio! Well, not new, to be technical, as the building is over 100 years old, but certainly new and fabulous to me.
So, that’s what the blog silence has been about. Busy, busy, busy getting everything set up, moved in, and carefully working on a branding facelift all at the same time.
Next up is a look into my new beautiful industrial loft world, stay tuned.

This post is a great example of something new I am working into my boudoir advertising, “Fashion Boudoir”. This will be offered in the top boudoir package and available as an add on to any other package. Leaving your clothes on has never been sexier!
Here is Isabel in her Fashion Boudoir session shooting in the Paris Metro. Enjoy!
Back at the beginning of April I took an incredible, photographer-inspiring, boudoir-filled, trip to Paris. Many thanks to Marissa Boucher & Kimberlee West, of The Boudoir Divas. You girls sure know how to organize the ultimate boudoir photographer’s party!
First up is Isabel, she’s from the states but currently living in Paris. We spent the afternoon in a hip Parisian flat using the fabulous decor as our backdrop. I had a seriously difficult time narrowing down photos to share on the blog, and this is still about twice as many as I usually post!
I feel the need to say that she is not posing in these, this is just how good she looks taking a coffee break!
Interested in your own boudoir shoot in Paris, or another destination city, such as Las Vegas, London, or Barcelona? Email me for all the great information on “The Destination Boudoir Experience”.
Techatticup? Thankfully I’m able to type this post, because I’m afraid you may stop following my blog if you had to listen to me struggling to pronounce that word. I may not be able to say Techatticup with ease but I had no difficulty shooting it! Of course, having the georgous Jessie as the main subject was not so shabby either.
This gem of a location is nesstled right on the edge of Nelson, Nevada, a tiny unsuspecting town about an hour from Vegas and about two minutes before the border of nowhere. It really was a photographers heaven, I could have spent a week shooting the great old treasures scattered about, it gave a whole new meaning to desert oasis!
This shoot had a bit of everything- fashion, boudoir… and would make an awesome (and one of kind) spot for senior portraits.
Vegas Recap : Day 2, Part 2
Ok, so I should clarify that our Sunday shoot was on the way to Red Rock, but not quite there. Our caravan of photographers headed out a little late in the day, so in order to catch the fading light we pulled off on the side of the road, and I think this location served us well.
Something you may not notice in the pictures from this post and the last was the light dusting of snow on the ground! Both Jessie and Elly handled themselves beautifully, I’m not sure I could have worked it for the camera baring either a short dress or strapless dress, especially surrounded by bundled up photogs who are able to keep moving to stay warm. So thank you girls.
Here’s Elly… oh, by the way, Elly is actually wearing my wedding dress! I’m thrilled that thing got to come out of the closet another time. However, getting it to Vegas was not as thrilling. I left for WPPI on February 14th, that’s right folks, Valentine’s Day. Carrying a wedding dress through in airport and onto a plane is sure to warrent a few “Awww’s” on it’s own, but carrying a wedding dress through an airport on Valentine’s day on your way to Vegas, and alone, was quite a conversation starter! Not to mention that thing gets heavy.
Ok, now here’s Elly… 
Who needs a bouquet when you have tumbleweeds…

After the shoot we headed back to the house to warm up and have some grub. A big thank you to David for making us some delicious rosemary potatoes and making up some killer marinade for our steaks, and an equally big thank you to Chris for being grill master. I miss our household dinners and conversations!

Vegas Recap : Day 2, Part 1
So in my last post I believe I referred to my Vegas housemates as “pure greatness”, and I’m confident I could go on and on about how that’s so but I may lose your attention. So here’s just a little proof for you, when I walked into the kitchen Sunday morning Pat (affectionately known as Tom Brady) was making PANCAKES! He even did the dishes afterward, what a terrific start to the day.
After a tasty breakfast a few of us had planned on going to a large shoot out in Nelson for the afternoon but, to my dismay, it was canceled. That was two shoots in two days that something had gone wrong, I was starting to become a bit worried. So with nothing but time on our hands Cailyn and I set out for a drive. We decided to cruise the strip, which takes a surprisingly long time to do!
It turns out there was no need for my morning worry after all. Last minute shoot, in the middle of nowhere- I’m in!
These photos are of Jessie. She is an aspiring model in Virginia beach, personally I think she should drop that “aspiring” part. You’ll be seeing more of her on the blog later because I had the privilege to shoot with her twice more last week!
I had a very specific goal with these images, from the way I shot to the way I post processed. Something about Jessie’s dress, peace earrings, great hair, and the surroundings just screamed “modern retro”. I realize I wasn’t even born in the era we now call “retro” but I imagine these pictures would be something I’d want to see while flipping through a 1971 issue of Vogue.
More stories and pictures from day 2 to come…
