New Brag Book video

One of the things that I’m secretly passionate about is being a nerd.  In my own words, being a nerd involves being a crossword puzzle lover, getting the word of the day from dictionary.com, and having an (over) active imagination.  Last week I actually got paid to indulge my nerdiness, and you will all get to benefit from that too – we’ve got a new video up that showcases our brag book package. Melissa and I had a whole lot of fun creating this, we hope you smile when you get to watch my nerdiness.  

Happy watching!

A quick preview of Ms R in beautiful natural light

I absolutely love this photograph of Ms R.  While we were shooting, the natural light in our boudoir studio was gorgeous, so we turned off our flashy strobes (heehee!) and snapped some beautiful silhouettes of her.  Aside from the aesthetic appeal of this photograph, it also illustrates how things happen organically here during a shoot.  Every client is different, every day is different, and for those reasons everyone’s photographs are unique and representative of the moment.  It is continually amazing to watch each session unfold, and I always feel like a greedy kid tucking into a bag of Skittles (ok, I still do that occasionally) every time I sit down to process a fresh batch of photographs, still warm from the CF card.  Mmmmm!   

Another thing that was different for this shoot was the reason for her doing it.  We have had quite a few wife’s and girlfriends of military men come visit us with the goal of sending beautiful photographs to their loved ones, but this time Ms R is actually being deployed herself and the gift is for hubby who is staying at home with their son.  It brings home that its not just gals who are being sent overseas these days.   With that said, please enjoy this photograph of her, thanks – Merilee.

Santa knows you’ve been nice!

OK, so I am personally opposed to advertising for the holidays before Halloween has even hit, but in this case I am totally justified. 

The reason is that photography takes a bit of time – after a client comes in for a session it takes about a week to coordinate schedules to get them back in the studio to choose photographs and display options.  From there it can take us a week or more to put the finishing touches on the selected photographs and order the appropriate products.  So, we’re talking 2 weeks minimum for turn-around time for prints or framed pieces.   However our albums, which are very popular gifts, are custom made for each client, because you get to choose colors and materials and they take much longer, in the three to four week timeframe.   On top of that our weekend boudoir dates are limited, so if you are at all considering doing a shoot for a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/George Costanza made-up holiday gift, don’t procrastinate. 

We want to make sure that everyone who wants a shoot gets one, so book asap so that we can do our best to make that happen.  See you soon!

 

Hubby’s wonderful birthday present

We have been really lucky to spend lots of time with Ms G recently, who came into our boudoir photography studio a little while ago.  Now we are able to share a couple of Ms G’s photographs here, only she is the photographer this time!  She and her husband jaunted down south to Portland and stayed in lovely hotel for his 40th birthday.  Little did Mr G know what was in store!  

Ms G went on to say  “Things with the birthday celebration and gift went really well.  I decided to give him the photos before dinner hoping to give him something to think about all evening.  I also put the black lingerie outfit [from the session] on and wore it under my dress the whole time too!  It was so much fun!!!  He loved the pictures and was very surprised.”   We have now met Mr G as he came back into the studio to look at all their photographs together and we are working with them to come up with some other ideas to display them, yeah!  

So – here he is, getting his wonderful birthday gift.  Thanks a lot, Merilee.

 

   

 

Our clients words – introducing Ms E

Hello ladies and maybe a few gents, its Nicole here and I would like to introduce Ms E to you all all.  We had to wait an awful long time to show off these gorgeous and playful pics because she did the shoot 4 months ago as a wedding present for her (now) husband.  We all had such a great time that we asked Ms E to talk with us on the record about her experience.  I think this video demonstrates a few things:

1. If you don’t think you’re photogenic, we’ll prove you wrong.
2. Any misconceptions you have about boudoir photography will be dismissed.
3. The experience alone is well worth the trip to the studio. 

And without any further ado…

Some beautiful Seattle Boudoir Photography previews of Ms C

 

If it’s possible for a pixie to have long legs, than that’s Ms. C!

She, with her sassy haircut and beautiful brown eyes, came to Seattle Boudoir in order to create a special gift for her boyfriend.  She wanted to do something original, and during her quest she came across our website online, made a spur-of-the-moment decision and decided to just go for it!  She was a teensy bit nervous when she first arrived, but she soon relaxed, had a great time, and she has an awesome set of photographs to show for it. 

Check out just a few of her faves here as well as a cute candid that we took of her when she came to pick up her wall display piece.  That beautiful piece is now on display in their bedroom and reminds him how lucky a man he is, both the framed prints and Ms C are simply gorgeous!  

Photographs from our recent Boudoir Appreciation Party

Here at Seattle Boudoir Photography we are truly blessed with an amazing clientele.  We are constantly meeting people that we love working with and getting to know.  In an effort to celebrate and thank our ever-fabulous clients, we recently hosted our first appreciation happy hour party here at the studio!  It was a ton of fun, replete with cocktails, awesome shoes, and a hilarious bout of YouTube-ing (isn’t that how all parties end these days?!).   Along with the magic of the internet, we all just had a plain ol’ good time chatting, laughing and taking silly pictures. 

We’ve classified the unmentionables, but a few of the best are below for your viewing pleasure.  Hope we’ll be seeing even more of you for round two – enjoy!    Merilee
