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.

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 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. 

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

Pinup Salon – Home

Boudoir photography is nothing knew and it has its roots in history that goes back hundreds, maybe thousands of years.  If you were to look back in history there has always been tastefully done paintings of women is various states of undress.   Almost all of the old master painters admired the human form and tried to depict that on canvas in flattering detail.  These paintings were usually commissioned work and hence were expensive, luxury gifts for the very wealthy and these paintings are still prized possessions today.   Many years ago I used to live in Paris and like many new visitors to that wonderful city I would frequently spend time visiting the amazing Louvre Museum viewing as many of these old masters as time allowed. 

With the invention of the camera, the photographic process and then mass production printing, photographs and pictures of women in various states of undress became more widely available.   The ‘pinups’ girls have been around since the early 1900′s and as the century evolved the photographs became more risqué.  By the 1950s, models were posing in skimpier clothing, smaller bathing suits, lacy lingerie or partially nude.  During the major wars of the century, World War II, the Korean War and of course the Vietnam War it was not un common for solders to receive pinup photographs of their wives or girlfriends to remind them of their loved ones back at home. 

Today boudoir photography is about creating beautiful, intimate, tasteful and empowering fine art photographs.  Boudoir photographs allow you to express your sensuality, your sexuality, your beauty and most importantly your individuality.  Although these photographs are often taken with clients in lingerie or partially nude, boudoir photography is all about attitude and very little to do with your clothing, your figure or your age.
