One of the top categories of products that our clients are looking for are albums.   Because everyone’s taste and style is so different it quickly become apparent that we needed a range of albums styles that appeal to different clients.    So we ended up with three styles, our Classic Album, our Contemporary Album, and then we have our Chic Album.  A few examples above.  All albums are available in both landscape and portrait orientations. Once you have narrowed down your favorites photographs, one of our design consultants will work with you to layout the photographs in a dynamic fashion so that your photographs will really shine.

Here we have some examples of our timeless Classic Album with its silky black cover.  As an artisan studio, we assemble our archival quality products carefully by hand  and each photograph in our Classic Album is carefully printed and mounted in-house by our skilled framer, Kimi.  Our Classic Album is offered in a variety of sizes and dimensions ranging between 8×8 and 11×14. With photographs mounted directly onto pages, these entirely handmade albums are durable and substantial – a true work of art.  In addition to the black cover there are a number of other covers available for those of you that would like a little bit of color in your bedroom.   Our classic albums start out with eight photographs, but clients can add both extra photographs as well as extra pages.

Here are some sample shots of some of our classic albums, aren’t they pretty!

We will be adding more blog posts over the coming months on our different display options, but don’t forget we offer studio tours so if you want to come check out the complete range you can.

Cheers, Phil

For the last few months we have been working on the idea of a winter promotion.  We are super excited today to announce that we have just launched a very special deal this morning with Groupon, the very popular deal site.   We have taken our mini session, the Tasty Teaser which is normally priced at $250 and made it available for just $49.  In addition this special offer also includes two 5×7 prints.    

This offer is for one day only.  We have also put a cap on the number of sessions sold so make sure to buy the deal as soon as you can to take advantage of the savings.   Once purchased, you will have an entire year to schedule your photography session.   We are also offering upgrades to our Pamper Me Pretty session and our Sexy, Party of Two session.   Many of you have already been in for a boudoir session and this is the perfect opportunity to come back for a second shoot, either on your own or with your partner.  For those of you that are already scheduled to come in the future, should you decide to purchase this deal, we will honor your deposits and allow you to use that amount for upgrades or for prints.

Please note that we are in the middle of our holiday rush and only have a few sessions left that will ensure your prints will be ready for the holiday festivities.  However, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we would be happy to schedule your session with more than enough time to have a sexy gift ready for February 14th!

Happy Friday everyone

Hello Seattle Brides!   I love this time of year.  Helping brides prepare for their big day is so exciting.  I have lovely ladies of Seattle come to Sync Fitness every year to get their rears in gear for their wedding day.  Of course every bride has her own body wish list: cut shoulders, 6 pack abs, ripped back, smaller hips, firm buns and toned guns.  We work hard to check off each item on that wish list. Of course, every bride wants to get the best results in the shortest amount of time (because, let’s face it, as a bride-to-be, there are NEVER enough hours on the day!)  So my secret weapon for brides is combining strength and cardio into each and every workout.  This is entirely possible and can be done in a short amount of time.  Give me 30 minutes and I’ll have you huffing and puffing and begging for more!  The key is to keep your heart rate soaring during your workout.  So choose exercises that make you pant!  Here’s a little sample workout that you can do in under 30 minutes: Jumping Jacks Push Ups Walking Lunges Pull Ups (weight assisted or negatives if needed) Plank Body Weight Squats (GET LOW!) Mountain Climbers Full Sit Ups Burpees Tricep Dips Jump Squats ***Perform each exercise for 30 seconds.  Perform 3 rounds of this workout.  Try not to rest between exercises.  Rest for a FULL TWO MINUTES between rounds.  This rest will allow you to PUSH, PUSH, PUSH during each round.  ***

These are the kind of workouts you can find me doing with my bridal clients in my Boot Camps at Gasworks Park.  If you’re interested in checking out Boot Camp, click here for full details.  Please contact Sync Fitness to ask about bridal discounts!  I hope to hear from you. I would love to make you sweat!

There are many reasons that our clients come into our fabulous photography studio in Seattle.   Just a few examples are …..they have a wonderful new boyfriend that they are excited about, they have a guy serving overseas in the military that they miss, they are getting married and they want to remind him how lucky he is, it’s his birthday and its about him, they are celebrating XX years of marriage and want to spice up their relationship.  We have so many more that are way too personal to share here.      I know we shouldn’t pick our favorites, so I won’t exactly, but up there close to the top has it be “because it’s just about you and no other reason”. 

Ms C is one of those amazing ladies that decided to do her own boudoir photography shoot for no other reason than she is simply beautiful and she wanted to celebrate that.  She has this amazing energy and love for life and this completely came out in her shoot and photographs.   She was a pure delight to have in the studio and we had such an amazing time with her and her many friends that we have seen since.   Here are a few of her favorite photographs, she looks simply beautiful.   

In addition to having lots of fun and ending up with multiple photographs that she loved, she also wanted to have some of her photographs framed and placed on her wall.  We specialize in this and nothing gets us and especially our wonderful framer Kim excited than having our clients on their walls.  We worked with Mc C to select some beautiful silver frames that are going to look amazing with the photographs and her home décor.  A quick iPhone snap shot on all three pieces with Nicole below.   We can’t wait to see what these get hung. 

At only $450, sometimes bigger really is better!   Check out this photo to see the difference in size.

Ms A came into our boudoir photography studio in Seattle after a recommendation from one of her best friends who had visited us last year.   We had a huge amount of fun with her and as you can tell from these few photographs we ended up going for a very moody look for her shoot.  I especially like the nurse props that she brought in with her, not surprising really as she is a nurse.   I’m excited to see her again as apparently her hubby wants to come back in and see all of the other photographs which isn’t surprising

Valentine’s Day Boudoir Photography – get your cupid on! | Seattle Boudoir Photography

Anyone that has visited our photography studio in Seattle during the last few months will know that we have been dealing with a large window replacement project.  This started way back in the summer in the 90 degree temperatures that seem like a distant memory now and its only just wrapping up now!   To say that this has been driving me nuts would be an understatement but the results are going to be wonderful with new windows that don’t leak – yeah!   However maybe there is another good side to this, as the one thing that we pride ourselves on as a photography studio is being flexible and creative when dealing with challenges and this has certainly given us a few challenges!   So, a few weeks before the holidays when we found ourselves with this rather large and very yellow piece of scaffold in one part of the studio rather than cancel the sessions that we had that day we adapted the studio and used the scaffold as one of our sets.

This set of previews was of our second client that day, the wonderful Ms J and here she is on the scaffold.   She came into our photography studio with a tall order – to create a series of pin-up-style photos from which a tattoo for her boyfriend would be designed.   Now we have lots of our clients that have tattoo’s but this is the first time our photographs were going to be used as the inspiration for the tattoo.   She was really happy with the results of her shoot and is contemplating having a poster designed as well.  

Now I realize the holiday season is basically gone now, but we couldn’t resist posting some of her ‘Smoking Hot Santa’ series.  This was the last set of the day and when we used the scaffold to create something fun and different from her.  I still smile at ‘The Original Multi-Purpose’ label on the scaffold, I can’t imagine that the creators ever thought that it would ever have this purpose.  

With that said, here is the Hot Santa and the Scaffold, enjoy. 

I asked Melissa and Merilee to put together a small promotional video for this special.  They decided to focus their creative attention on the …. ahem, explosive reaction that may occur when gifting a Valentine’s Day folio.  I’m sure you all can read between the lines and get the gist!  To book now enter your details here or call us.

And, in the spirit of the season, we’d like to share this little present with you –  it’s all wrapped up with a bow and everything

As part of the process we always have a bunch of outtakes of the team and tonight I thought I would post these, mostly of Merilee this time, with a brief cameo from Nicole.   Before each client comes on the different sets Merilee and I test and make any last minute adjustments to the lighting based on the outfits that clients are wearing and the mood we are going for.   Seeing as I’m typically behind the camera, I torture Merilee with her sitting, standing, climbing or her favorite laying down and ask her to pose for me.  And at times it gets a little silly as you can see from these – fun times for sure!

If for some reason we forgot to include you (sorry) or its your first visit to our web site,  just go to our newsletter signup area and we send it out to you straight away.   Here is a quick screen grab of the opening section.   The newsletter was designed by Heather Musil of Little Bird Web Design & Development.  I’ve worked with Heather before, she does excellent work and is great to work with.  If anyone wants to develop a newsletter I would definitely recommend Heather and her work is for sure worth checking out.

If you got the newsletter what did you think?    Did it look good on your monitor and email program?    Is there content areas that you would like us to include in future editions?    We would love to hear feedback from you, good and bad.

So when I asked her if she was ok with us posted some previews of her I was so excited that she said yes.  I’m sure hubby with get a kick out of seeing these as well !    I’m getting ready to update  the main gallery photographs and have a few more of Ms N for that as well

Over the last couple weeks we have been working on our planning for the remaining part of the year, and even further out – believe it or not we are already working on ideas for our boudoir photography sessions for Valentines Day 2010!   During this process we have been thinking about how we can offer more client sessions in one day, as typically we can only schedule four or maybe five sessions each day. We also know that some of our clients can’t easily commit to the full two plus hour session, as time is a precious commodity in our lives.

So we have come up with a new concept and we are super excited that that we are announcing our new Mini Boudoir Sessions.   These sessions will include makeup that will last for about 20 minutes combined then with a 30 minute photography session.  Between getting settled, enjoying a glass of bubbly and a fabulous shoot, the new Mini Boudoir Sessions will last about an hour.   The only other difference is that the new Mini Session will focus specifically on a theme with one outfit and one set.  So far we’ve come up with some great ideas!  Once we lock in some itty, bitty details we’ll announce the dates for our first awesome promotion with these mini sessions.   Apart from that our clients will still get the same super fun and empowering experience, the same creativity from the team at Seattle Boudoir and beautiful photographs that you will treasure for ever. 

BTW, we are also getting ready to send out our first newsletter and if you haven’t signed up for that yet you might want to do so now , as the grand announcement of our first Mini Session will be included, among other things!  To sign up, enter your details here. 

We are also planning to add new dates for the end of the year for ladies looking for some sexy holiday gifts, more news on that soon.   OK, off to lunch for me

Ms B visited our boudoir photography studio in Seattle a little while ago and we had a wonderful time with her and her girlfriend who came along as support.  We are just wrapping up some printing for her and she gave us permission to post these photographs of her.   To me there is something really special about the colors in these prints, the dramatic red contrasting with the white sheets were some of Ms B’s favorites.   We also loved the richness of the blue sari and then the ones of her in the guy’s shirt and tie were just so cute!   And lets not forget that she looks simply beautiful!

This reminds me that I need to update the main gallery with these and others that we now have permission to post   Updates coming soon. 

Here is a quick blooper reel that I put together from the few clips that we didn’t use, if you have a spare minute and want a giggle hit the play button below.  

These were taken at our last promotional weekend in Seattle.  We chose to blur some the faces of the ladies as they haven’t yet given their guys the gifts, but these give you a sense of what it is like. This particular weekend we had the two Jen’s, Nicole, Phil and Merilee all working and taking care of our clients.   We just love our clients and can’t tell you how much fun we have.  These photographs taken by Merilee Jones. 

I thought I would post this quickly before signing out, now its time for a glass of wine!

During our special May Boudoir Photography weekend we got to meet the amazing Ms P.  She was looking for a really special gift for her boyfriend who is so far away right now serving in Iraq, and wanted to find something for Armed Forces Day and decided to come into our photography studio in Seattle for some intimate photo’s.    Although she was a little nervous at first she soon relaxed and Ms P was a complete dream to work with and we had so much fun calibrating with her to create something pretty special.   She brought a number of prop’s that had special meaning to them, the bottle of wine above is one that is being saved for the day that SGT B returns.  

We just received an email from Ms P to say thanks and letting us know the reaction of SGT B, its so special that we asked if she would be willing to let us share the details on our blog.  It feels so good to know that our work is bringing loving couples closer and its why this is so rewarding for all of us.  We super excited to get to meet him when he comes home and can’t wait to have them both back into the studio.    Her note is below, then I posted a few more previews for them both.

———————————————————-

I wanted to let you know that the mail service did their job.  I expected the photos to arrive in Iraq on Thursday, but low and behold they arrived today, on Armed Forces Day.  If I had attempted to to make that part happened, it never would have.

I asked SGT B to wait and open the box after he was on Skype with the webcam tonight.  The first photo he opened was the corset and wine bottle.  He thoroughly enjoyed that and decided he was taking that one to his office for his desk.  I had included a silver shadowbox frame for him to use.  When he opened the two-fold leg shots, he was speechless.  Seriously speechless, and very emotional.  Soldiers don’t cry, but he was teary-eyed.  By the end of our conversation he was taking the two-fold to work so that he had something to look forward to everyday when going to the office.

I replayed as much of the ‘shoot’ day for him as I could remember, from what I had written as a reminder.  Unfortunately, it was a bit of a blurr.   It sounds like I will be back for another shoot, with SGT B in tow this time.   He was enthralled with the whole process and then had to look at your website.  I don’t know if you have a link or can show him some of my other photos, but he would like to see some if you can, and may be emailing you with that request.

Phil, you did an incredible job capturing “me” for him.  Jen, you made me beautiful beyond belief, and Nicole…… thank you for helping me choose the best of the best for him – and putting my wardrobe together  

Thank you for the encouragement all of you gave me to make this such a successful opportunity to do something special for SGT B.
Armed Forces Day was a success with your help! 

Thank you so much!
Ms P

I’ve been finishing up printing some wonderful photographs for one of our fabulous clients that came into our photography studio in Seattle for one of our boudoir specials.  Ms R originally was planning to  purchase one print with multiple photographs in it for the wall of their bedroom.  That was until hubby found out about her plans and managed to get a look at the previews.  He quickly determined that the initial size was way too small and he wanted something much bigger, he also determined that he wanted additional prints framed on their wall.   Knowing how lovely his beautiful wife is we were hardly going to complain were we!   Here are a few of the prints that she gave me permission to post that didn’t how too much of her. 

• Saturday, May 2nd and Sunday, May 3rd
• Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th
• Saturday, June 27th and Sunday, June 28th
• Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th

If you can’t make one of the exact dates listed, please give us a call anyway, if we get enough demand we might try and add an extra day close to these dates.

We promise to make your boudoir experience relaxing and fun. Feel free to bring in your favorite music on your iPod and a friend if it helps you feel at ease.   Of course we will supply the drinks and snacks to help as well.  Our special days are just $295 including hair, makeup and photography time.  Feel free to check out our boudoir packages as well.  If you have a girlfriend that wants to take part too,  we will give you $100 off for the second appointment.

If you are interested in discussing this please call Jennifer at (206) 250 6903 or enter your details here and we can help with scheduling and any questions you may have.  Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I was swapping email with Ms B who just returned from a romantic weekend away with her very lucky boyfriend.   She has visited our boudoir photography studio in Seattle for one of our fun sessions just before valentines day.   Her goal for her session was to create some beautiful and classy photographs to give boyfriend as a unique gift that they would both treasure for a very long time.  Not surprisely he completely loved the gift and was completely speechless when she gave it to him.   She told me it was ok that I post these two snaps that she took in their hotel room – isn’t love grand!     

Ms X gave me permission to share a few teasers and I finally got the chance to do so this morning, so here they are.  There are lots more for her to choose from that I now need to upload for her. 

One of the questions that we often get asked for those that have booked sessions in the coming weeks and months is what should they do to get in shape for their session?    The first thing I should say is that no matter what you size or shape you are we always work to highlight the parts of your body that you love best, and not focus on the parts that aren’t your favorite.   We firmly believe the human body is an amazing art-form to capture and we take great pride and care to do that not matter who we are working with.

That all said I know clients often want to take a little bit of time to create the perfect curves define those arms or legs and for those of you that fall into that category we might have perfect solution.   I wanted to introduce Sara Sutherland Dean who is the owner and trainer behind Sync Fitness, one of Seattle’s up and coming personal training services.   Sara has been a personal trainer in Seattle since 2003 and has a unique balanced approach to allow her clients to have a better quality of life and feel good about what they see in the mirror or at the end of our camera!   Like many people I’ve had a love/hate relationship with exercise over the years, but ever since I started seeing Sara I actually started to enjoy it for the first time since I was 16.   I even feel bad when my crazy schedule doesn’t allow me to get to see her, which has never happened before!    For our future clients, or any lady that has a boudoir session scheduled, who wants a little help in feeling comfortable in their own skin to enhance their curves and tone and define those arms, those abs and create a beautiful back I really recommend that you check out Sara’s site and give her a call.   She is seriously one of the best personal trainers in Seattle and a dream to work with.   After all, every client deserves to feel beautiful, breathtaking and a little bit buff for her boudoir photography session and Sara can really help. 

Two of the ladies that came to our Valentine boudoir days in our photography studio in Seattle had guys that were in the military and they both bought outfits and accessories from their guy to be photographed in.   Here we have the wonderful Ms K dressed in his shirt and hat looking all beautiful and sassy as she played around on the bed in the studio.    She is coming in tomorrow to meet with Nicole to review all of her photographs but I thought I would post a few of the previews for her today.  I’m excited to see what she thinks of the photographs. 

We have written up a little bit about the experience here but we thought that we should create a quick video that can actually shows you what our clients get to experience.   We have spent a lot of time designing our sessions to be very encouraging,  very comfortable and relaxing, safe and professional and this, combined with the amazing talents of Jennifer and Phil helps us get wonderful results that our clients love.   The one thing I forgot to mention which seems to be a natural result when you get a bunch of really cool people together, our sessions are a whole lot of fun!   So if you are looking to create some beautiful and artist boudoir photographs made of yourself and if you want to have a lot of fun doing it give us a call.   

This small video which lasts about two minutes was put together containing multiple clips from our recent boudoir photography sessions in Seattle.   Make sure you have your sound turned up so you get to hear the great music and all the laughter. 

Bestow is a small online boutique with a lovely selection of apparel by designers and fine stores that might be perfect if you are looking for something for one of our boudoir photography sessions in our Seattle studio.   If you are looking for some romantic or fun items this store might just have the perfect item, like their silk corsage camisole and brief set, their lace Teddy or their simply fun weekend knicker set!    Don’t forget to check out their accessory pages as well.   Just so fun.

Valentine’s Boudoir Photography Days | Seattle Boudoir Photography

Here are just a few teasers from some of the wonderful ladies that visited us last Friday.   We have lots more to come and we are currently scheduling client preview meetings with the ladies.
