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…

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  

 

Introducing ‘Tales from the Boudoir’

Today we sent out our first edition of ‘Tales from the Boudoir’ our newsletter.  Its been a fun couple of weeks working on the content and the design – we are super happy with it all.  In the first edition, as well as introducing the team we previewed our new breast cancer fundraiser that we are all excited to be preparing for,  a new referral program and our first client and friends soiree that is coming up in a few weeks.

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.

Top ten reasons to do your own boudoir photography session – with a twist

We wanted to write up a few of the many reasons why you should consider coming into our photography studio in Seattle for your own boudoir shoot.  We started to write this blog post ‘David Letterman-style’ but quickly found ourselves referencing something else, so we present to you ……………..

Carrie Bradshaw’s top 10 reasons to get your derriere to Seattle Boudoir Photography

By Merilee and Nicole

 

10.	Because you are celebrating your divorce
9.	Because you are celebrating your anniversary, and you and your partner want to come in together and avoid accidentally getting each other the same present by doing it on purpose
8.	Because your Steve deserves it
7.	Because you are engaged and want to give your partner something right before the wedding that will leave them with ants in their pants (or something else…!)
6.	Because it’s pretty much the best bachelorette party ever
5.	Because, like Charlotte, your cellulite is probably mostly just your imagination anyway
4.	Because you are pregnant and want to remember exactly how your baby bump looks forever
3.	Because if Samantha Jones gets to have her ass on the wall then you should too
2.	Because you want to document all your wicked awesome tan lines before Seattle’s 9 months of winter weather makes you pasty again.
1.	Just because it’s Tuesday and you’re a sexy beast

 

BTW, because Phil doesn’t own or watch TV he has pretty much no clue what we are talking about here – hee hee    So gals, don’t waste anymore time and come see us, enter your details here and we will be in touch!

Introducing the Fun and Flirty Girl, the Professional Futzer, and the Honorary Girl

We just got our new business cards in, and they look great.  We wanted to do a refresh on our marketing materials and make them a lot more fun and impactful.  We ended up going with a lovely merlot red color with a interesting font.  On the other side (not visible below) we have  one of our beautiful photographs.  We actually have a series of cards with different photographs for people to collect.    If you look closely you will see that each one has a professional title and a silly (but true) one!   We wanted to represent both what we each do in the studio but also add have something fun with a little bit of an inside story.  

I feel a little left out, seeing as this project was started before I joined and I didn’t get any cards this time, but I’m told I will get some soon    However one issue is that my silly name is still undecided, and I’m curious to see what it turns out to be, votes are coming in as we speak  – keep an eye out for that breaking news… 

If this is the first time visiting the site feel free to read more about the fablous Seattle Boudoir Photography team here   

  

And now a bit more about the cards themselves…These cards were designed by Shanda Smith, CEO and owner of Pixel Soup.   Phil met Shanda a number of months ago and he was quite impressed with her designs and creativity.  If any small or medium business is looking to refresh their brand logo or marketing materials designs, you should check her out.  Her designs are both fun and effective at conveying your message and she is a complete doll as well.  You can find her at www.pixelsoupcreative.com 

Next we need to update our web site a little to reflect the color changes.

 

Are you looking for a fresh and different Bachelorette Party idea?

A couple of years ago one of my dear friends got married.  She is this amazing, leopard print wearing, 80’s listening, dog loving, dancing queen,  pixie-sized woman with a wicked sense of humor, and I had the wonderfully special title of Maid of Honor at her wedding.  Therefore I was in charge of not only writing a humorous-yet-touching toast but, almost more importantly, planning the bachelorette party.  I went with the classic combo of limo and lemon drops and stuffing $1 bills into buff boys’ spandex fantasy outfits to celebrate her last few days of ‘freedom.’  Needless to say she and I have lots of photos in our secret archives that prove we had a fantastic time  

Fast-forward to the present, and I am once again the Maid of Honor for another amazing friend.  I knew the toast would be a piece of cake because of all the hilarious stories I have to choose to from!  For the party, however, I was struggling to find an idea that was fresh and different.  I wanted to host  an event where we could all have fun and connect, but also have it be more memorable and creative than the first rounds of parties we had already experienced in the past.  Then it hit me – boudoir!  Groups of two or three women often come in to the studio together for their own separate boudoir photo sessions, and they always have a total blast laughing, drinking champagne, and getting pampered by our professional staff.  Given the past experiences of women in the studio, I knew that the bride-to-be and her friends would love getting together for a photo session. 

And so the Boudoir Bachelorette Party was born…Yay!  More deets about the services included in this new package offer can be found in our about section, or just click here – you know you want to!

We are starting to prepare for our May boudoir photography weekend and we less than a week away.   I’m excited to announce that we are almost fully booked, but we do have a couple of sessions free on Saturday and one for Sunday.  If there are any ladies, especially Mum’s or Dad’s that are looking for a special treat for Mothers Day please call Jennifer at (206) 250 6903 or enter your details here and lets get you booked in.  

Seattle Boudoir Photography video

One of the frequent questions that we get asked by clients before their session is  “What will my session be like’?   

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. 

Our second Valentines Boudoir Photography Day is today

As the snow falls outside the windows this morning, we are excited that today is our second boudoir day for our valentines special.   We have 3 ladies joining us starting this afternoon and well into the evening which will be a lot of fun.    For preparation for these days, and other boudoir photography sessions we have been preparing a number of framed pieces of art to showcase some of our varied work.  They are now installed in our entrance way and makeup area in our photography studio in Seattle.  I finished this print the week before last and its the first framed print that folks see when they walk through the door. 

And don’t worry about the snow ladies, the studio is always toasty warm!

Seattle boudoir photography previews for Ms Q

I just finished up working on some wonderful photographs of Ms Q and thought I would post them here in the blog.   Ms Q came into our photography studio in Seattle during our busy holiday season with the goal of creating some beautiful photographs to celebrate the end of the year.  After finishing up a framed print for her I asked if it was ok to post a few of the previews and I’m delighted to say that she said yes!    We had a really great session as we worked to create both artist and fun photographs of her in a variety of outfits.  Here are a few of her favorites.
