Seattle Boudoir Photography previews of Ms C

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. 

Seattle Boudoir Photography previews of the lovely Ms V

I heart Miss V!

V, as I so lovingly refer to her, is awesome. From the start she was amped about doing her own boudoir photography session but she was definitely nervous. Her husband actually got the shoot as a gift for her around Valentine’s Day but with specific instructions that this gift was just for her. He loves his wife and thinks she’s beautiful, she did however, need a reminder. So V came to us for a studio tour and pre-shoot consultation and man of man did she have a lot of questions. By the time we were finished (almost two hours later!) she had all but picked out the product she wanted. Everything V does, she does 100% and with gusto, so when shoot day came she was ready, set, go. From her attitude to her a wardrobe to her choice to bring a friend, she was committed to enjoying herself to the fullest. And enjoy herself she did! She laughed (giggled really), danced and posed the afternoon away. As you’ll see below her photos are gorgeous and when she arrived to pick up the 12×12 folio and the Gallery Framed wall art with, not 1 but 3, 8×10 photos, she was ecstatic. 

Happy Monday, Nicole

Seattle Boudoir Photography presents Ms L

Check out these simply lovely photographs of Ms L.  When she came into the studio she was a little nervous at first, but after sitting down with one of our amazing hair and makeup artists, the lovely Jen, she soon relaxed and started to come out of her shell.  We ended up using three completely different sets and outfits that day giving her a wonderful range of choices for her final prints.  Here are some of her favorites that we loved.  Although its fair to say that hubby wasn’t content with just a few photographs as he ordered a beautiful 40 photograph album that we did a whole bunch of design work on, which they just love :)

Seattle Boudoir Photography black white previews

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

Seattle Boudoir Photography Previews of Ms M

Ms M came into our studio a while ago and I’m super happy to report that she gave us permission to use her photographs online.  Like many of our clients she is a military lady although you would never guess it looking at these beautiful and sexy photographs.   Nicole and I both did a double take when she came back into the studio for her Preview Meeting in her military greens, just so differant from her lingerie!  I just love the outfit choices that she came in with and the colors popped so well contrasting with her beautiful fair skin.    Happy Friday everyone

Check out Ms S awesome array of props

Ms S is stunningly beautiful and an outdoor enthusiast.  For her boudoir shoot she did not bring much that would be considered standard, but she really nailed her wardrobe by using an array of awesome props.  She went with a range of outfits that really represented her personality and interests, from a pair of skis to a climbing harness replete with D-rings and a helmet!  So far she is the only one who has brought that combination of pieces in, so we really had fun with the creativity of it all.  It just goes to show that a boudoir shoot is truly about highlighting you, and that is one of the sexiest things that can be captured in a photograph.   

Seattle Boudoir Photography Preview of Ms E

Ms E was so much fun to work with!  Her personality was relaxed and open, and that comes through in her lovely photographs.  She did, however, stretch us to the max.  The max height that is.  You should have seen the platform heels she was navigating in – we were all very impressed!  We had to raise our curtain stands as high as they could go because, in those shoes, she was one of the tallest clients we have ever had.  And, of course with those legs, we had to get some great standing shots!  Suffice it to say that I’m sure her boyfriend enjoyed his gift very much

Ms E was kind enough to let us post some of her photos, so here are a few!   We will have more coming soon to the main gallery.

Boudoir photographs previews – they sent him over the edge!

Ms A came in for a shoot in our boudoir photography studio in Seattle with some very interesting props.  As well as some beautiful lingerie, she also a fantastic fluffy red feather boa robe and a cute black and white parasol.  Others were more relationship-specific.  Like the Dungeons and Dragons Manual and a mouse, the kind with a USB plug to go along her cat ears. 

“My boyfriend is a total geek,” she explained, and she was really excited to incorporate his interests into some of her photographs.  We had a whole bunch of fun with Ms A during her very creative shoot, and we she recently emailed us to let us know that her boyfriend is officially her number one fan – they are engaged!   Our warmest congratulations to the happy couple!    He actually proposed just after receiving his gift of boudoir photographs.  Apparently he had plans to pop the question, but the photographs sent him over the edge and made him realize what a cool chick Ms A was. 

So, Seattle ladies who are in a ‘relationship’ and looking to increase the romance why not come in for your own session and see what happens.  No matter what he thinks we will make sure you will have a whole lot of fun, and you will walk away with some beautiful photographs, so give it a try.        

The perfect wedding day gift – boudoir photographs of yourself

As you can probably tell by the beautiful blue sky’s Ms C came in several months ago to create a wedding day gift for her (now) husband.  As well as a hardhat and work jacket that she borrowed from her husband; she had the fantastic idea of bringing in her wedding dress as one of her outfits.  We shot most of her wedding dress in one of our bedroom sets, but we did go outside to the roof top deck first. If you thinking about joining us for a boudoir photography session in Seattle in the summer and want some outdoor shots don’t forget to ask us about our fabulous deck with wonderful Seattle views. 

She also brought another accessory – her mom!  We often have clients bring a friend for extra fun and support during a shoot, but this was a great first for us.  As Ms J’s Mum said, “She didn’t know what she was getting into!”  The two of them had a great time, we got Mum’s approval which meant a lot to us, and she got a beautiful photograph of her daughter in her dress.  See for yourself!

Seattle Boudoir Photographs of Ms J – the smoking hot Santa

 

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. 

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.

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!  

Caution: Sassy breast cancer survivor below!

We are so thrilled to be sharing Ms. Kim’s extra special photographs with all of you today!  She was incredibly moved by the whole experience both during the shoot itself and then again after viewing her photographs.  To quote her, “This whole thing has been one of the best experiences ever.  It’s almost like the icing on all of what I’ve been through to see myself like that.  I felt so empowered after.  This is definitely something every woman should do for sure.”     To see a quick video of her reaction to first seeing the photographs click on the video below

“For other women to see photographs like this of someone who’s survived cancer has had successful reconstruction and still looks great, hopefully it’s empowering and (…) takes away some of the anxieties of having to go through something like this.”    Ms. Kim we can’t thank you enough for your kindness and generosity.  You’ve certainly left an amazing impression on us in the studio, and we know that your story is impacting other women, women with breast cancer, survivors, and the people in their lives.  Her are some of her favorite photographs from the shoot.

Ms. Kim says don’t forget your mammogram appointment

A couple of months ago we decided to do a fundraiser that would benefit breast cancer research and awareness.  A friend of mine, the lovely and amazing Ms. Kim, is herself a breast cancer survivor.  She went through about a year of diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and a hysterectomy, and today she is healthy and cancer-free.  When I first told her about the boudoir photography fundraiser we were planning she immediately offered to help us out. 

She has generously and fearlessly decided to share her story with all of us and even had her own boudoir session post-reconstruction here at the studio.   I genuinely hope you take a few minutes to watch her video.  Her experience and outlook on life is moving and compelling, and you’ll get to hear about her reaction to her boudoir session and final photographs (direct quote: “I am blown away!”).   And speaking of photographs, there’ll be a sneak peek of a few of Ms. Kim’s great shots in the video, but keep an eye on our blog as we’ll be posting the photographs soon.  

If you or anyone that you know are interested in joining us for this wonderful fundraiser you can check out the details here.  Please pass the word. 

That’s it for now, Merilee.
