Boudoir Teasers for Sarah

October 20, 2008 – 10:14 am

Last week, Sarah came to my home studio for her boudoir session and we had a blast creating these images for her to give to her new hubby on their wedding night (they are getting married this December and I am so bummed that I wasn’t available to shoot their wedding!)  Sarah was so much fun to work with and I just love how her photos turned out.  Isn’t she gorgeous?  And she totally has that sassy look down too.  Thank you so much Sarah for an awesome session, and for letting me share so many of your photos.  As usual with boudoir posts: this content is not safe for work!  Please continue reading only if you are comfortable with viewing gorgeous images of a sexy lady wearing very little clothing.  Thanks!

Boudoir Session with Kat

September 28, 2008 – 12:49 pm

So … I am about three months behind schedule with my boudoir blogging (which means lots more boudoir teasers through the winter, yay!)  I am so behind, in fact, that the gorgeous and amazingly photogenic Kat had to remind me to post her boudoir teasers.  Oops!

Kat came to my home studio a few months ago to get photos for her groom’s gift (she got married in Montana this month) and we had a blast getting not just the standard lingerie shots but also some pretty racy images with a few props she had brought along, as well as some gorgeous fine-art nude photos.

Please note that the content below is not safe for work, and if you are offended by nudity and/or bedroom accessories, then this post is not for you!  And for those who are dying to read on … enjoy!

Boudoir Session: Mrs. A

August 20, 2008 – 3:31 pm

A few weeks ago, the beautiful and lovely Mrs. A came to the studio for a boudoir session.  She wanted some fab photos to give her husband for their anniversary - and we got tons of gorgeous shots.  I am so happy that she gave me permission to share so many with you - she was happy to show pretty much anything that wasn’t ultra revealing!

Gosh, summer is really here, and don’t I know it … it’s been crazy crazy busy here and my blogging schedule has fallen a little behind!  So here’s the first of two posts for today - teasers from one of my wonderful wedding client’s boudoir session.  The fabulous Ms M came to my home studio a week ago, and we had such a fun time creating these images.  I am super excited for her wedding in the fall … thanks, M, for sharing some of your favorite pics!

Sunday at Tyee: Jenny + Jerrod

July 6, 2008 – 1:12 pm

Last Sunday, I photographed Jenny and Jerrod’s wedding at Tyee Yacht Club.  It was like photographing old friends - we’ve met so many times now - and I’m hoping they’ll be having babies so that I have a good excuse to keep on photographing them!

Boudoir Teasers for Ms A

July 1, 2008 – 11:38 am

Yay, another boudoir session I can blog!  I am always excited when I get permission to share boudoir photos with you, and the lovely Ms A has very generously allowed me to share almost all of her photos - so many, in fact, that I had a hard time picking just twenty five to share with you here!  As with all of my boudoir posts, many of these photos are not safe for work … so click through with caution.

Boudoir Teasers for Ms M

June 26, 2008 – 9:45 am

You know how I promised lots more new boudoir recently?  Well, the selections are trickling in and I should have two more gorgeous ladies to show you soon!  The photos below are of the fabulous Ms M who came along to my studio last Friday for her individual session.  She is celebrating a significant weight loss, and the photos are also a gift for her husband … so if you know the couple, please don’t let on!  And these are not particularly safe for work, just so you know …

April Boudoir Marathon: Teaser Photos!

April 16, 2008 – 10:57 am

Last weekend I had so much fun! I had a fully-booked boudoir marathon with ten ladies over Saturday and Sunday - I can’t tell you how exhausted I was by the time I got home Sunday evening, but it was well worth it.

November Boudoir Marathon Teasers

November 20, 2007 – 5:59 pm

What a crazy weekend of boudoir! Back at my usual studio in Ballard, this time I had seven boudoir sessions spread over Saturday and Sunday, and all of the ladies were awesome. It was a really nice number of sessions to have scheduled, and I didn’t feel *completely* burned out by Sunday evening, which was definitely a plus. I also had time to do a couple of fun self-portraits for my 365 project - remember that? - I haven’t been posting them (I’ve had too much work going on!) but I’m on track with my one-portrait-a-day and it’s day 41 already.

I think everyone really enjoyed their sessions - here’s some of the feedback I got after sending the teasers out yesterday evening:

  • OMG I LOVE IT!!!! I seriously can’t wait to see the rest of them … That photo makes me look like a pin-up model, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for. :D
  • I can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you so much, I had a such a great time!!!
  • Ohmigawd! Is that really me? … I have already told a bunch of my friends about how cool this was! Don’t be surprised if some of them want to come for boudoir sessions too!
  • I think the picture is beautiful. The lighting makes my skin look amazing!
  • Wowser! It’s beautiful Kate, thank you so much! I love it … you’re an amazing photographer and you made me feel so comfortable!

Anyway, four of the ladies were brave and generous enough to allow me to share their photos with you - so here are their teasers … enjoy!

Boudoir Teasers for Four Friends

September 21, 2007 – 2:33 pm

Oops, I’m a little behind on my blogging at the moment, but it’s been a very busy few weeks - what with weddings, boudoir marathons and getting the new website up and running. I’ve also been meeting with clients several times a week in preparation for next summer’s weddings … so please forgive me!

Anyway, here’s what you’ve been waiting for - teaser photos from four of my lovely boudoir marathon ladies. You may recognize three of them from my previous post about the marathon - and the fourth is another friend who attended one of my Sunday sessions two weeks ago. Thanks for sharing, ladies! And I am so excited to get your slideshows up for you … hopefully that will be in the next week or so!
