The Lovely Ms. B

Just wanted to get these up before my family and I leave for vacation! Ms. B is a beautiful person inside and out. She is always giving me gorgeous clothes from her closet too! =) Ms. B, I'm so glad you had fun and I hope my abs look like yours when I grow up =)

Ms. A's Reveal

You may have seen the sneak peeks I put out last week, but I saved the best for this post! Ms. A is one of the sweetest, most gorgeous girls I know (and a darn fine hairstylist too!). Her beautiful skin and eyes made my editing time a breeze. I just LOVE these photos. Ms. A- you are stunning!

One of my all time favorites...

October Special!

Here it is ladies, our amazing October Special. With makeup by Lindsay Schneider, the Makeup Madame, this is a killer deal. Spots are limited so reserve yours soon!

Ms. J's Beautiful Photos

Ms. J found me on Google, which I was pretty darn psyched about. Then when I saw how gorgeous she was, I was even more excited. Her eyes are so blue, I didn't even have to touch them with Photoshop! To top it all off, she let me use whichever photos I wanted. All this combined made for a wonderful shoot experience.

Like most of the women I shot last week, Ms. J is a mom and just wanted to take time out from the "mom" scene and do something special for her hubby. I'm sure he'll love them!

Here are a few of my personal favorites. Thanks Ms. J!

Miss A's Gorgeous Photos

I've finally had some time to edit a lot of the photos I took last week. Since Ms. A has so generously given me her permission to share some with you, I thought I'd start with her.

Miss A. is a neighbor of one of my good friends, and I met her at her Avon party. When I started photographing boudoir, I knew Miss A. would be perfect. She had the most gorgeous eyes and perfect boudoir hair! Although it took awhile to get her to come in, and she was still nervous once she did, she had a great time and her photos came out just as gorgeous as I thought they would!

Thank you Miss A. I hope you felt beautiful, because you are!

Fine Art Piece

The Complete Pin Ups- the art of Gil Elvgren

Pretty much everyone has seen them, the beautiful old-school pinup paintings of women making every day tasks look flirty and sassy. Gil Elvgren is the artist behind these American icons. I recently picked up a copy of The Complete Pin-ups...a GORGEOUS book showing off more than 500 of his paintings and sketches.

Though his career took off in the 1930's, in the 40 years he was an artist he captured the true beauty of ordinary women and made their everyday tasks look like fun. This book has SO many great ideas for future shoots. If you are interested in doing an old-school pinup style shoot, look up some of his work online, or grab a copy of this book to get some ideas. Here are a few of my favorites:

Who knew a towel on the head could look so darn cute?! LOVE the bathtub one.

Everyone loves a French maid...and how about that first pose? Better start practicing that one!

Love this one for a military wife checking out a letter from her man.

I always wear a teddy when I'm washing my husband's long johns, how about you?!

The Maven Mixer Promo Video

I've been working on this here and there for awhile now. I am not a movie-making whiz by any means so don't be a hater! But I did want to do a little something to show how much fun boudoir parties, or Maven Mixers as we call them here at the Boudoir Maven, really are. Thanks to all the girls in this video, my good friends and the first ever Maven Mixer attendees!
