Beautiful Miss M on Our New Set

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:14:00 +0000

This gorgeous client was making a gift calendar and gave us permission to use her March selection on the web. Not only does she look fantastic in the purple outfit but it makes quite a stunning image on our new set with the red sofa.

I like to add texture overlays to the wall during the retouching to give it different looks such as plaster or an old brick wall. This one has an overlay that gives it a painterly effect.

Guys, Here's a Great Gift Idea for Your Best Girl

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:45:00 +0000

It's that time of year again. You have to find the perfect gift for your girl to top last year's gift. How about wrapping up some sexy lingerie and tucked inside is a gift certificate from Houston Boudoir Photography?

Give her a gift you will both enjoy, a sexy boudoir and glamour photo session. She can schedule her shoot any time. Let her see herself the way you see her. Sometimes a woman needs to be reminded that she is sexy. Call us to arrange one for you.

Gorgeous Miss M

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:43:00 +0000

Miss M had a fantastic session recently and approved publishing a few of her beautiful images. Our red satin sheets combined with her dark hair and red lingerie make a striking image for a Christmas or Valentine's Day theme. I also love the image of her in the black corset on our dark red bench. I couldn't decide which one I like best so I thought I'd just treat everyone to both.

New Pin Up Website Ready

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:41:00 +0000

We've been quite busy lately with getting our new pin up website ready located at http://www.houstonpinup.com/.

This next picture isn't from a recent session but the pose is classic pinup. I just went back over it and gave it a pinup treatment. I think it came out fantastic.

Super Pinup

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:00:00 +0000

My first photo session after coming back from the California pin up workshop was of a wonderful client that wanted to include some pin up in her session. Yeah!!! She had a great pinup-styled swimsuit with polka dots that worked out perfectly. We added some of our props such as the Chinese umbrella and chrome stool to give some variety to her look. She approved these for use on the web. Enjoy!

New Pin Ups

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:11:00 +0000

I've been in southern California this weekend at a pin up workshop learning a new technique for pin up photography. The workshop was given by Robert Alvarado, a photographer whose pin up technique I just love. I can't wait to get back home and start giving my clients this wonderful look for their pin up pictures.

While I was in California, I heard about a Frederick's of Hollywood store that had everything on sale for some crazy low prices so I just had to go by and see what I could find. I scored several pin up style outfits that will be coming home with me.

It's Been A While

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:12:00 +0000

I'm so bad...I've had so many gorgeous clients over the past few months keeping me so busy that I've not gotten around to posting any of the beautiful images that they gave me permission to use.

Here's Shelley. She wanted to do some pinup last month as well as some glamour styled pictures with our one light set. I think they came out fantastic. The top one looks like it came straight out of a magazine. The bottom one looks like it should be printed on canvas and hung on a wall.

Erica

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:30:00 +0000

A few weeks ago we photographed a beautiful client who wanted to do some Marilyn Monroe-styled poses on red satin. They came out fantastic as you can see from one example above. We wrapped the session up with some shots on our one light set up.

I just love our one light work. It's very mysterious, sexy, and glamorous all at the same time and has been a big hit with our clients. The images make wonderful black and white or sepia-toned portraits.

And the cool thing is that we can make it work for every body type!

Erin

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:00:00 +0000

Erin is going to be celebrating her wedding anniversary soon and thought how special it would be to not only do just a boudoir shoot but also unpack her wedding dress and veil for some fun and flirty bridal boudoir styled shots for a present to her husband. My favorite was this one of her in a beautiful black corset with hot pink garters! Oooh la la!

Krystle

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 06:20:00 +0000

Krystle wanted some nice glamour and boudoir photos for a Valentine's Day gift for her guy. She chose our black set for a glamorous look, especially with our pearls and faux fur props. It showcased her beautiful blonde hair perfectly. She was nice enough to let us share these favorites with everyone.

Andrea

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:24:00 +0000

Andrea came to us recently to get some boudoir and glamour portraits for a Valentine's Day present to her fiance. And, since she's getting married in a few months, she's planning a special album for later that includes some bridal boudoir portraits.

I love this one in black and white. Her beautiful eyes just pop off the screen. This canvas is going to look so fantastic hanging on a wall.

Jessica

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:24:00 +0000

Jessica wanted a special gift for her husband for his birthday. She wanted to knock his socks off. After seeing some of her pictures during and after the shoot, I think we succeeded. This one reminds me a bit of Marilyn Monroe, especially the eyes.

Jessica's portrait was done on our all white set which we use for pin-up as well as soft and romantic shots.

The 31st is Now Booked

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 00:28:00 +0000

Unless we have a last minute cancellation, we are booked until after Valentine's Day. I can always put your name on a wait list in case something becomes available. Call us if you want us to notify you first.

Now is a great time to schedule a spring boudoir or glamour session for a few months away. It will give you a target date and some great incentive to help you keep that New Year's resolution you made whether it's to get in shape for bathing suit season, loose 10 pounds, use that fancy eye cream daily, or just simply drink more water to keep your body hydrated. We're here to help and just a phone call away.

January 18th is Taken but the 31st is Now Open

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:04:00 +0000

I was able to shuffle a session from the 31st to the 18th. So, the 18th is no longer available. However, the 31st is now open. It is the last day that we would be able to book a session for a Valentine's Day delivery.

We Have a January Opening!

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 03:07:00 +0000

We have an opening on January 18th due to a reschedule request. This date will allow time for a Valentine's Day gift. Boudoir and glamour portraits make wonderful surprises for your sweetheart.

Call us to reserve this session. It's the only opening we have during the month of January and it just became available today.

A refundable $100.00 deposit is required to reserve the session. We accept MC, VS, and AmEx. The first paid deposit gets the session. Calls will be returned in order of timestamps of email and/or voicemail messages.

We're Booked Through Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:58:00 +0000

Well, we had so many girls wanting Christmas sessions that we couldn't fit everyone in so some spilled over into January for Valentines Day gifts. Now, we're all booked up through mid-February.

My suggestion to everyone is to go ahead and book your session well in advance of when you need your pictures in order to guarantee the date you want. A refundable $100.00 deposit will hold your date for months.

Brides, you girls are perfect! You know when you need your pictures months in advance so book early and schedule your boudoir bridal session 4-6 weeks before your wedding. That way you won't be rushed and can relax and enjoy the session knowing we will get that album or photo box ready for you on time to present to your fiance.

We Have A Last Minute Opening!

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:36:00 +0000

Due to a reschedule, we have Sunday, December 21 open if anyone is looking for a last-minute boudoir or glamour session before Christmas. There's not enough time for an album before Christmas, for course, but it IS plenty of time for us to get your online gallery posted along with 3 or 4 fully retouched and airbrushed Artist's Choice examples using images from your session.

You have the option of purchasing a 5x7 custom greeting card with a beautiful airbrushed image of you on the front. The message inside can be either blank (you write your own) or we can print a personalized message of your choice. The card is suitable for framing later.

Afterwards, you can decide together which images are the favorites from your proof gallery and let us create an album, calendar, or individual prints for you.

We Do Gift Certificates for Christmas or Anytime!

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 04:32:00 +0000

Just because we're booked until after Christmas doesn't mean you fellas out there can't give your sweetie a very special gift this year. Give her the gift you will both enjoy, a sexy boudoir and glamour photo session. She can schedule her shoot any time.

It's always the right size and the right color. No guess work here. Our clients love to see just how beautifully we capture them. It's perfect for a woman of any age.

Let her see herself the way you see her. Sometimes a woman needs to be reminded that she is sexy. Call us to arrange one for you.

More Pin Up, Glamour, and Boudoir Portraits

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 03:46:00 +0000

We had the pleasure of working with a wonderful gal a few days ago and got some great images with several of our new sets including the all black and all white. I absolutely love the first picture with the reflection. I think this is now my all-time favorite. Her hubby should really love his Christmas present - gorgeous, sensual photos of his beautiful wife.

Booked Solid through Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:51:00 +0000

Hi everyone. We are booked completely up until the weekend after Christmas. We're already scheduling January sessions. So, if you're thinking of a Valentine's Day gift of boudoir photography for your guy, don't wait too long because the cutoff date will be January 31.

Becky

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:46:00 +0000

Becky surprised her husband on their first anniversary with some beautiful boudoir portraits. I just love her eyes and expression in this one.

Smokey-Eyed Bride-to-Be

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 03:01:00 +0000

We had this very beautiful young woman come to us recently wanting to do an album for her fiance as a wedding gift. She wanted to have her pictures be a little dark, a little mysterious and definitely sexy. I think they came out wonderful and so stunning. I always come back to how smokey her eyes are.

Julie

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:52:00 +0000

Julie's getting married soon so she booked a boudoir session with us so she can surprise her fiance with a wedding gift from the heart of an album filled with incredible pictures of her. What a lucky guy!

Sandra

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:45:00 +0000

Things have finally started to return to normal after the hurricane. The last few weeks have been busy shooting and airbrushing our clients' images. Beautiful Sandra had her session back in September and allowed me to post these two favorites.
