The Posebook Video is FINALLY HERE!!!!!

By Sales & Contests11 Comments

Well after a few roadblocks, well let’s be real here, a lot of road blocks, our gift to those who bought THE POSEBOOK is finally ready for viewing! YAY!  It’s a video showing us, The Boudoir Divas, demonstrating some of our favorite boudoir photography poses and giving tips on how we photograph  boudoir sessions.
here
Unfortunately, the file was too large to post on our Boudoir Shop for downloading so we have posted the boudoir posing video in two parts on Vimeo.

HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR LINK AND PASSWORD:

*Email [email protected] , subject line “Posebook Video”
*Include your receipt for purchase of the Posebook or attach a photo of yourself holding your Posebook

We will email you a link and password. Your password is only valid for 48 hours so you will need to download the video asap.
Do not send the email until you are sure that we will be free in the next 48-72 hours to download, since we probably won’t be able to answer your email ASAP.

*Please note that Kimberlee and I simply don’t have the man power to answer your email immediately. We will try to respond within 48 hours, M-F, with your links and password. Also once the email is sent, we ask that you please follow the directions within 48 hours. Again this is meant to be a free gift, and we don’t have the resources to be answering questions or resending the email multiple times. Sorry! Hate being a toughie. But I would hate for you to feel neglected if we don’t get back to your questions.

PS. The audio isn’t fantastic. While filiming we were focusing more on the visual aspect of how we interact with our clients. So I apologize that the audio quality isn’t great. So we ask that you techies out there hold off on emails letting us know that the audio is terrible, as my spanish teacher Mrs. Legg always said, “a caballo regalado no le mires el diente.” Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.  Lol!

Hope you all enjoy the videos! We suggest putting them in your itunes or on your ipod! If you find posing the most difficult aspect of boudoir photography, than the more you watch the video, the more comfortable you will be posing your boudoir clients.

xoxoxo- Marissa & Kimberlee

Psssss.  Kimberlee devoted an immense number of hours to this project so I would really love it if you all gave her a shout out below! Thank you K!

*EDIT: Dawn Norris was having difficulty downloading the videos yesterday. If right  clicking and selecting “save as” doesn’t work (hers must be the MAC solutions, yes, I am still a PC) she figured out the problem, thanks for sharing Dawn!

“Hi Ladies,

I reviewed the download instructions again and did some troubleshooting for the PoseBook videos.  I know you can’t answer every email but did want to let you known that when I held down the control button and clicked on the mp4 link download link in Vimeo I did “save link as” to my desktop and it worked.  A bit different from an automatic download to iTunes (I’m using Mac too) just in case others have a similar problem with the directions (I did read them ;).

Hugs,
Dawn”

Rediscovering…

… Some shots from past shoots!  Lots of fun images that I never really did anything with… I think I might design an album w/ some of these shots of Vanessa. Getting ready to travel to Africa (tomorrow morning!) So excited! I’m especially excited about my 2-day stop in PARIS on my way back home. Photos to come when I get back. xoxo -K

Hmmmm…. something’s off here….

By Personal5 Comments

marissa_kimberlee Designing a little Paris boudoir promo thingy this morning and I went to use elements from this PSD that K designed for us awhile ago.

While totally adorable K, there seems to be something a little odd about us. First off, didn’t you know that tripods are totally out these days.

And secondly, I personally liked having arms. Did you decide you didn’t like yours? What gives? Lol.

Packing!

I just LOVE all of these little accessories! (All found at my absolute favorite vintage store) 🙂 So I’m in the midst of packing today, and I’ll be gone for the next 2 weeks… first stop: Denver! Then Burkina Faso (Africa), and then just a couple days in Paris on the way back from Africa. I’ll be sure to post pics when I get back home! xoxo, K

San Diego Studio Manager, Crystal…

and also photographer extraordinaire,  we just wanted to give her a shout out. She posted this image on our San Diego blog last week. I am always so impressed with her and Deena’s work. They have done me proud. Just had to brag about them for a moment.

And this pretty lady featured is Kathie. Thanks Kathie for letting us post your images! – M

I am in shock by the fantastic prices on Orbitz for a flight to Paris during our workshop.
From San Diego it is $635 plus booking fees and taxes. Last year we paid about $1300 per ticket. This is wonderful news… more money left for shopping in Paris!

For those of you who are considering booking the workshop and want more info. Please visit our Paris Boudoir Workshop blog post for more info!

Summer reading

By PersonalOne Comment

K knows me well! She got me this book, Shanghai Girls, for my birthday. Lisa See is my favorite author. Last year I was all over her book, The Peony Pavillion. And, the year before that it was Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. She has to be one of the most clever fiction writers I have ever read. And I love that she has researched Chinese culture thoroughly and incorporates it into her novels in a way that makes you feel like you are being given the loveliest history lesson of your life. Her characters are always flawed in a way that makes you identify with them so much more than your average fiction heroine. And, she teaches lessons in her books that sit with me for years even after I read them.

Just wanted to say thanks for the book K! You are the best bitner ever. I will hand it over to you when I am done. – M

Remaining Workshop books for Sewing Machines

By Personal11 Comments

As you all know, we’ve just put the Workshop Book into the Diva Vault forever! Over the past few days, we’ve had several emails asking us if we had ANY more books available. Well, we have decided to open it up to sell FIVE MORE books… with 100% of the proceeds going to THIS CHARITY.

world-vision-sewing-machine-cop2y

We love that World Vision allows us the great honor of providing women with sewing machines! What better than having the funds from the last 5 Workshop Books we ever sell going to other women entrepreneurs in need?! We are thrilled! The $285 will cover a sewing machine and the shipping and handling to send you the book. Only five left so please buy ASAP! (Simply click on the Paypal button below… it will send you to a link for you to pay the $285… once we’ve received notice of the payment, we’ll send you the Workshop Book in the mail!)

IMPORTANT! It looks as though Pay Pal is acting odd today. If you have trouble with the button above please let us know via email, [email protected]
and we will send you a Pay Pal Invoice.
On another note, World Vision is an amazing charity that we love. We donate $5 from each shoot to their Girls in Crisis Fund. You can check out our running total at www.firstgiving.com
One of my favorite things World Vision does is create a way to buy the perfect gift for the people in your life who already have everything that they need, by buying items for needy people in their name. You can buy chickens for a family, vaccinations for children, a bicycle for parents to get to work, etc. To buy gifts visit www.worldvision.com
