"I believe in pink..."

A beautiful, positive outlook for today from a beautiful woman, inside and out. With class, style and elegance Ms. Hepburn serves as an inspiration to this day.

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
Audrey Hepburn

The Everyday Woman

It seems more often than not we hear "I coud never do that" or "I don't look like that".  What most women don't realize is YES you can "do that" or "look like that"  It's always fun when the women that come to our studio allow us to use their photos.  We always take a before picture so they and everyone else can see just how beautiful they are!!  Here are just a few ladies who so graciously have allowed us to use their photos.  We think that they are just beautiful, hopefully you do too!!

All Things Pink!

Can't believe it's been since October that we wrote our last blog!!  Guess we've been busy.
But, with the anticipation of spring being "right around the corner" we found these pictures to be refreshing!            

Happy spring everyone!

Behind the camera!

One of the best things about our job is knowing when the ladies leave our studio they couldn't feel better about themselves!!  We have had the privilege of meeting some of the best around!  Everyone has a story and each one is a bit different and unique in their own way!
Everyone comes with butterflies, (some more than others) but it's so rewarding to see the smiles on their faces as they walk out our door!  Here are just a few "woot woots" we've received lately and a couple of "behind the scenes" pictures.

"I love the pictures, they turned out so perfect!  Your work is fantastic!"
Thanks,
Laura

"Just wanted to say thanks again for everything you ladies did for me and Carries last night.  It was awesome!  You really took your time event though it was getting so late.  It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to get my teaser picture today"
Stephanie
                                                                    

"Hey, thank you again so much for last night, we had so much fun!"
Kendra

"Being a plus size woman, my biggest fear about my photo shoot was my body image.  I have to admit that the two of you were so amazing that for a couple of hours I think I actually forgot about all the extra weight.  The whole experience was so empowering and I had such a great time that I can't wait to 

do it again.  I am going to recommend Pixies to anyone who will listen!"

Shannon

"What a wonderful time, you made me feel so beautiful would love to do it again sometime!"
Wendy

What to bring to your boudoir shoot?

This is something that we get asked often.  Here are a few ideas of what you can wear for your shoot.

LINGERIE:  Baby dolls, corsets, teddies, bra pantie set, garter belts & stockings all look great!  If you want more shape, maybe pick a corset. Want to camouflage your mid-section, use a baby doll.  Pick colors that you feel look great on you!

CASUAL:  You don't have to wear lingerie for your shoot, there are a ton of other great ideas.  Baggy sweaters with a pair of panties look really cute!  A little black dress (or your favorite dress) can make you feel good.  Even robes and coats can be fun.  Look through your significant others closet, maybe one of his shirts and ties, jerseys or any other fun thing that you can find.

ACCESSORIES:  Shoes are a definite must!!  Jewelry looks good too.  It just adds a little something to your outfit.  Try adding gloves, long satin ones can look great.  Another thing that can really add something to your photos is a hat.  Whether it be a fedora, cowboy, baseball etc...

Here a couple of other things to remember before you come to your photo shoot.
1.  Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and good about yourself.
2.  Clean the bottoms of you shoes before you arrive.
3.  Wear loose fitting clothing to your session to prevent lines, dents & marks on your skin.
4. Tan lines can be hard to photoshop so try to come without any or maybe wear something that hides them a bit.

Last but not least.  Enjoy yourself!  Don't stress too much if you don't know what to wear.  That's what we are here for.  You can always email or call us if you have questions about anything.  We will be with you EVERY step of the way.

Yes, blogging is new for us.  And we do have good intentions to be diligent with our posts.  However, this week has been super crazy busy (which is a good thing)!!  So since we haven't been able to put much time into a blog we thought we'd share some more of our photos with you...

The Tufted Velvet Chair

What every boudoir studio needs it a tufted velvet chair.  We've been on the hunt for months.  The few we have come across sold before we could get our hands on them!  Below are a few we would love to have at our studio.
