A Boudoir FAQ: Should I create a new business name if I want to start shooting boudoir?

By Boudoir Tips2 Comments

Hey fellow boudoir enthusiasts!!! One of the most common questions people ask us regarding their boudoir photography business is if we think they need to change their name? Like… do they need a separate name for their boudoir business vs their, say, senior portrait biz? Check our thoughts on that one in the video above.

Why boudoir photographers should do their own boudoir shoot :)

By Boudoir TipsOne Comment

I know, I know…almost every photographer we talk to about doing a Boudoir Shoot at our studio says the same thing: “Oh, no, I’m much better BEHIND the lens than in front of it!” However, we have many reasons why you SHOULD have your own boudoir shoot…let us explain our top two reasons 🙂

-A HUGE reason is that boudoir photography is like no other genre out there.  Your clients will be more nervous here than with any other kind of photography and it is really an amazing experience (and advantage!) to be able to say you have been in their shoes and know how they are feeling.  And you really will know how they feel!  It will help you relate to them and say the right things to make them feel at ease.

-We, along with most boudoir photographers agree, that this is truly something every woman should do at least once in her lifetime.  Who doesn’t deserve a day to feel completely spoiled and taken care of and be able to leave with a killer album to show off and remember how hot you looked that day!

Recently, Kimberlee had the pleasure to photograph another photographer.  The beautiful Tracy had attended one of our Boudoir Workshops in the past, and when she got the opportunity to come back to San Diego, she decided it was time: time for her to experience her own boudoir shoot.  Please read an article she wrote about her experience at our studio.  This article was taken from her site: Be Beautiful Photography.  She even posted some pictures of herself from her shoot on her page!  Check those out here.  Gorgeous. (We also included a couple below the article; thanks for letting us share Tracy!)  🙂

Thanks again, Tracy, for sharing your experience with all of us!

Boudoir Divas Product Testimonial

By Boudoir Tips, WorkshopsNo Comments

Got the SWEETEST email last week, and it just made my day!!!! Here it is…

“I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything you two are doing for the photography industry. I had no intention of offering this line of imagery prior to going to WPPI last year. I bought your entire package and let me just tell you that it was worth every penny! I am the first in my area to offer “Little Black Book” sessions. I had my first pilot run on Tues. and it was AMAZING! My goal to have women feel empowered, sexy and beautiful was received beyond my wildest expectations. I have no idea why I waited so long to try this. Anyhoo! Enough babbling… THANKS!” Sincerely, Nissa Olson, Ideal Photography

Photos with sex appeal; as old as the camera….

By Boudoir Photo Shoots, Boudoir Tips2 Comments

… photos with sex appeal for the every day woman; boudoir! These sexy shots of Blake Lively are gorgeous. And a sexy gorgeous photos will never go out of style. I adore how even a simple, sexy black dress can be as hot as lingerie. We always suggest our clients get at least four “Productions.” That way she can have a ton of variety of herself in lingerie and then still have one set in a dress to show to friends and fam or even Facebook.
