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 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

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

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

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.

Intermittent Phone and Internet

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:25:00 +0000

Ever since Ike blew through our area our Internet and phone service has had intermittent outages. If you try to call us and you get a fast busy, please call back later or just use our contact form on the website to send us a message. Email is getting through and we will get back to you.

At least our power has been stable so we aren't expecting any problems with completing sessions in our cool air conditioned studio.

Escape Ike's aftermath for a couple of hours and schedule a fun photo session with us. Make September 2008 memorable to you for doing something special just for you or for your guy.

We Survived Hurricane Ike

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:10:00 +0000

Just to let everyone know, we survived Hurricane Ike and are open for business as usual.

Your Privacy is Respected

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:17:00 +0000

Hi all!

We had an outstanding client over the weekend that wanted to surprise her husband on their upcoming anniversary with some sexy photos of herself. We took some terrific pictures that came out just beautiful. However, she expressed concern about someone from her work might see her pictures and get a wrong idea. So, I thought I'd post something about our policy of showing examples of our work.

All the pictures you see on our blog as well as on our website (and in-studio samples and marketing material) are used after receiving permission from our clients. If you want us to take some very personal and intimate portraits for you to give to your someone special, then we believe you should be able to do that with the complete confidence that it will be kept confidential. You have the option of releasing individual images as well as releasing none at all.

We love to show our work and everything we show is going to be flattering to both us and our clients. After we see your gorgeous images, we may contact you later and ask (beg) your permission to use a particular image but feel free to tell us no. You are not obligated to say yes. We may cry a little but we'll get over it!

Our ultimate goal is to make you a happy and satisfied client who will recommend us to their girlfriends. We love referrals. We even have a referral coupon that is good for a free 5x7 when you refer a friend who books a session with us.

If you are thinking about having boudoir or glamour portraits made but have questions about the process, give us a call. There's no obligation. We love to talk about what we do just as much as we enjoy doing it!

Ashlee

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:10:00 +0000

We had the privilege of photographing beautiful Ashlee for her birthday. I don't think I've had as tough of a job of selecting my favorites as I had with her session images. I finally narrowed it down to about half a dozen to go in her Artist's Choices folder in her proofing gallery. I could easily have had 50! She simply was a joy to work with!

Christina

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:41:00 +0000

We recently had the honor to photograph lovely Christina. She wanted a one-of-a-kind birthday present for her husband.

She gave us permission to use a few of her pictures on our website. This image is one from her session. It's become one of my all time favorites and is definitely going on display on our studio walls.

Mary

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 01:37:00 +0000

What a joy it was to photograph Mary last month! She was planning a surprise anniversary gift for her husband and picked a location that held sentimental meaning to them.

It was a beautiful setting with rich colors and fabrics. I just love this one of her in the red chair. It's so glamorous.

Drop-Dead Gorgeous Kim

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 23:31:00 +0000

What can I say? Kim is an incredibly beautiful woman who decided to surprise her husband with an album for a one-of-a-kind birthday present. We had so much fun photographing her and trying to keep up with her quick outfit changes.

We were so lucky to have gotten this last shot. Just minutes after capturing the pool table shot above, the power went out due to an afternoon thunderstorm and didn't come back on. Luckily there was a big picture window in the next room so we just moved in there and got some great natural light images.

Pin Up Style

noreply@blogger.com (Norma) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:07:00 +0000

Here is an example of our images that has pin up style processing applied.

It's a different way completely than our usual processing. Nearly any image can have a similar treatment for variety in your album. Just ask!
