One of the rising trends in boudoir photography is the “boudoir marathon.” This is a great business idea, and it’s PERFECT for anyone who doesn’t have studio space. Most boudoir marathons take place in a hotel room… you’ll book the hotel for a few days, then book up as many boudoir shoots as you can in those days! Such a cool way to do things. We’re super excited about our Vegas Workshop because we’re going to be shooting in a hotel suite – which will be perfect for those of you who are planning on doing marathons in a hotel! We’ll show you how EASY (and inexpensive) it can be to get it going. With just a few simple lighting set-ups and a couple innovative ways of looking at the hotel room, you can transform it into a sweet boudoir studio! Want to see more about the Vegas workshop? Click here for all the details. We have just a FEW spots left, so if you’re interested in joining us, email us soon! ([email protected]). Thanks!

We wanted it, and we got it! Even though the we lost the pink vs white vote, they still gave it to us. Can wait to do a 10×10 studio sample! Thanks Kevin and Shaun for stroking our ego and telling us it was “Just for us!” The girl in us eats that right up, but I can’t help but believe that there are going to be a lot of boudoir books coming your way cuz of this color. Yes!
That’s right, I could barely believe it myself, but we got 500 additional hits from this inexpensive and focused advertising direct to our ideal clients. This one took a lot of expensive mistakes to figure out, so we are only telling our workshop attendees. Plus it wouldn’t be as valuable if everyone was doing it. So a big hush, hush workshop peeps.
Hi to all of our Vegas workshop peeps! Just wanted to let you know that we’ll be sending out a newsletter over the weekend with a few more details for you! We’ve booked our hotel suite where we’ll be holding the workshop (SOOO excited to tell you where it is!!!) 🙂 So we’ll get that info over to you, along with some other details. If you have any questions after looking over the newsletter, you know you’re always welcome to email us with your ?s! We’re looking forward to seeing you all in Vegas, Baby!
Valentine’s Day is a huge part of our biz so I just posted this reminder on our Woman Captured blog. We have a big promo going here in the studio, if we reach 28 boudoir shoots between now and Feb 14th all the hardworking gals here in the studio will receive a bonus. I think they will get it by the looks of
things! -Marissa
I received the email below last month and I figured that this may be a question that a lot of you have. Here is the question.
“Hi Marissa,
I just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration in my boudoir work and your images are absolutely stunning. I just wanted to ask how you talk so many clients into agreeing to reveal their faces for your website and blog? I’ve YET to have a client that has agreed so all of the images on my blog are well…..faceless. They agree to sample albums but nothing online… Thanks so much and enjoy your weekend! -Eric, Raw Photo Design
Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for the kind words. No need to make my head big! 😉 When we started out we had that hiccup in our marketing plan as well. We started asking gals in a way that made it seem more like privilege rather than a favor. Something like, “Your photos came out so wonderful, we would for you to be one of the gals we feature on our blog and website in hopes that it would encourage other wives to come and do a shoot.” Now it seems that girls want to be on our site and bring it up even before we get the chance to ask. Like a bit of a status thing. We also tell them that the only way to keep us from eventually deleting their photos after their order was to sign our marketing/model release. Another option is to let them choose the photos that they are comfortable with showing. Maybe some that are bit less racy.
So K n’ I didn’t have to time to make a fun episode out of this question….. so I will just sing the outro song. Na na na na naaah, nu nu nu nu nu NAH! 😉
