Why do a boudoir session?

Just squeezing in a quick post from a recent session. Having the kids home all summer and maintaining a full workload is leaving me with little time to blog. Hope it's not looking to sad and lonely.

One reason a lot of my clients come in to do a boudoir session is to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Whether it's been 1 year or 20, a boudoir photo session is a seriously unique gift, that captures your femininity and beauty, and one your partner is not likely to forget for years to come. 

This lovely lady came in to celebrate her anniversary by giving her husband exactly that, an unforgettable gift. Her boudoir photo session was so much fun. She is a gorgeous woman with an amazing smile and I just really enjoyed working with her. Her hubby is a lucky guy.

Before and After

Makeup and hair by Jennifer Mantura- one of my personal favorite Richmond, VA makeup artists.

She seriously rocked this jersey too. It was a great that she brought in her own, rather than his, the fit was right on and we were able to play with it more.

Sexy little sweater coupled with fun, colorful panties worked well for her too.

We worked in a teeny bit of bridal boudoir styling into the session too by using her veil.

I'm sure this is an anniversary gift he couldn't get enough of.

Don't just take my word for it. 

"So Ginger...

Let’s ring in the New Year baby!

This past year has been a blast. Business has been great and I have met some seriously amazing people. I know 2012 will be just as incredible, strike that, it’ll be better. With so much fun stuff on the horizon I’m feeling ridiculously excited about the coming year.   

2012 is a year for me to have some fun and explore new ideas with my work too. I’ve got a 12 in 12 plan. What’s that? One of my goals for 2012 is to do 12 themed sessions in 12 months all revolving around themes I want in my portfolio or things that I just love to shoot.  This is in addition to the classic sets you all know and love. Along with the 12 in 12 I’ll be offering Album sessions, calendar sessions and whole line up of hot new products that you are going to want for yourself. I’ve got so many new things in the works that it’s well worth checking back often just to see what I’m up to.

Since January out to be national boudoir month (in my opinion anyhow) and our boudoir albums are on the top of every guys list for sexiest gifts you can give, I introduce part 1 of my 12 in 12. January is Noir Boudoir month. This session features all the intensity of classic Hollywood Film Noir and a seductive blend of Modern Boudoir and is sure to please your Valentine. Stroll on in for a full hour photo session complete with 2 outfit changes. You can add hair and makeup styling to your session to complete the look. This set utilizes our classic boudoir set with some old Hollywood touches. This Valentine’s Day indulge in a Noir Boudoir session and give a gift that will really leave him wanting more.   

 

Want to do a classic pin up session instead?  you can use either the Domestic Diva set or the Malt Shop. Additional sets may be added for an additional fee.

Summer is a tricky time for me to blog. I've got family and friends coming and going and I'm squeezing in a bit of travel here and there myself so the blogs will be less frequent.

This week I'm going to focus on outfits that would be perfect for our new permanent set. What's a permanent set you ask? It's one of the fantastic beauty sets that 422 Studio offers year round. As of right now we have 2, the Modern Boudoir set and the Domestic Diva set. Each set has it's own unique features and styling. I am launching the new set next week.

The Modern Boudoir set is a set designed to look like a bedroom. It's for my clients who would like to have classy, sexy pictures made with a more modern feel to them. The end result is similar to these.

Modern Boudoir is a fabulous way to give your special someone a completely unforgettable gift. The clothing selections are easy to find and you probably already own something that would be ideal.

The other permanent set that I currently offer is the Domestic Diva set. This is the retro styled kitchen. Previously it looked like this.

And after it's recent facelift it looks like this:

The Domestic Diva set is the perfect set for a bridal pinup session, grooms gift, anniversary gift, birthday present or just because you want to show off how hot your domestic goddess skills are. This set is flexible enough for a multitude of retro style dresses and even lingerie. It's as sweet or as hot as you want to make it.

Now lets get down to the new set. First off I am so excited about this set. It is the biggest of the permanent sets. I'm not going to tell you what it is today (that's Monday so come back!). I am going to get you guessing by leaving you with the fashion finds that I think would bring all the boys to the yard . These sexy little costumes are sure to make you all scream. Pair one of these with bobby socks and high heeled Mary Janes and you've got a sweet treat for the new set.

Can you guess what the new set is? Pictures coming to the blog on Monday so be sure to check back to see the new set.
