I was suprised and happy to get a little thank you note in the mail today! My day is made and I am now even more excited for the boudoir marathon tomorrow.

The postman just delivered our new studio copies of Underneath It All by Jennifer Carroll and Kathy Schultz. Thumbing through, this little pink book is cute and informative on every topic from personal lingerie styles to how to care for your lingerie. It even covers a short history of lingerie! The Seattle Times gave the book a little love because Kathy is a Seattle shopping expert and Jennifer runs Bellefluer, a stylish chic boutique lingerie shop in Fremont. You can purchase the book on Amazon or schedule a consultation with us prior to your session and take a loaner copy home with you! Either way, step into Bellefluer for personal service and a luxury shopping experience!
Now I am going to start reading…
Boudoir photography is a sexy gift for your groom and a keepsake for yourself. You may have recently indulged in spa treatments, kicked your butt at boot camps, had a spray tan, and aquired a large collection of lingerie at your bachelorette party — so what are you waiting for?
We’re currently planning our first ever Bridal Boudoir Marathon on May 15th and 16th with ten fabulous soon-to-be-brides. A beautiful new bed set is in store for the event along with a small collection of bridal accessories. With brides heavy on my mind, I thought it’d be perfect timing to discuss what to bring to a wedding themed boudoir session. We have a helpful discussion on What To Wear to our regular sessions, but the tips below are specific to brides and even those planning an anniversary gift.
Wear white. Bring something white such as a vintage slip, a baby doll nightie, or a lacy white teddy. Complete the look with our strand of real pearls and various hair peices.
Accessorize. Even though we will have some accessories available, make sure to bring your own wedding day veil, jewelery, shoes, and garter — it will have more significance to that groom of yours!
Go casual. Check out www.theknot.com or www.etsy.com for casual wedding apparel. Find a way to custom monogram his name on a pair of white panties or bring a bridal tank top.
Bling. Don’t forget your engagement ring as it makes a great accessory and focus point for detail shots.
His wardrobe. Wear something of his such as a button down shirt with tie, a sports jersey, or his uniform.
This is just a part of your overall session, so make sure you also consult with our discussion on What To Wear to help complete the rest of your sexy book. Many bridal magazines and blogs have written informative articles about bridal boudoir photography. I’ve carefully linked some of them below for your enjoyment.

I don’t get out that much, what with all of the photographing, editing, and assisting clients that I do!
But, I do know that spring has hit! How? Brides planning their 2010 weddings are visiting our studio every week! They have their sights on the perfect gift for their groom. Ms T was no exception. She was fun to work with and we got a wide variety of images for her (now) husband. Enjoy!

Ms. I told me her 2010 New Year’s resolution was to do more for herself. And the first order of business, an intimate boudoir photo shoot! Although these sessions are “the perfect” gift to a loved one — let’s be honest — they’re one of the best gifts to yourself too!
