MIA

Sorry everyone for being MIA for so long! The last month has been a crazy whirlwind to say the least. I was in the hospital for a week, had surgery, had a booth at a bridal show, my daughters 14th birthday, and a conference in Vegas. Not to mention a few sessions in there too. Whew, I am tired just typing it all! Well, I am back and ready to hit the grindstone again.

Dont forget if you are not a fan of my Boudoir Fan Page on Facebook, you are missing out on some AWESOME deals!!! http://www.facebook.com/RedShoeBoudoir

The Girls - Houston Boudoir Photography

Last weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with these three beautiful women. Each of these girls is just as beautiful in person as they are in these images. We had a good time, lots of laughs were had. We used every inch of the room in our shoot. We even shot in the bathroom and the patio(with a few admirers watching!). LOL I had a great time ladies and I hope you love your sneak peeks!!!



P.S. There was supposed to be a 4th lady but she is dealing with some bad morning(all day really) sickness. Poor thing! But the good news... She is having twins!!! CONGRATS Heather!!!

Ms M - Houston Boudoir

Last weekend I had the priviledge of shooting two fun, sweet and most of all sexy women. We hung out at one of my fave boutique hotels in Houston and had a girls night. Despite a few hotel equiptment malfunctions, the evening was a success!

The first of these two ladies is Ms. M. She is such an outgoing person and just a natural in front of the camera. I hardly had to give her any direction. I had a great night and I hope you did too! Here are your sneak peeks!!!

Industry Secrets...

I talk to women daily who want boudoir portraits done but worry about their percieved trouble spots. "My thighs are to big, my breasts are to small or saggy, I have strech marks, I have acne, etc...". I hear it everyday. "If I looked like Jessica Alba(insert celebrity you wish you looked like here) then I would do it in a heartbeat!" Well guess what? They dont look so perfect in real life. I found this website to show you ladies what these "beautiful" people look like before and after a photographer gets a hold of them. http://www.iwanexstudio.com/ Just click on portfolio. With the right angles, lighting, and editing ANYONE can look just as glamous as these stars. I use basically the same technicniques to achive similar results. This over the top editing isnt for everyone. So if its not your cup of tea, dont worry. I can also be very conservative with your editing. During your shoot I will talk to you about what kind of look you are after. Do you want a more glamorous "Hollywood" look? Do you want a more naturual sexy look? Dont be afraid to tell me what you want.

My point to all of this rambling is, dont compare yourself to others. I can help you hide or fix any problem areas you feel you may have. So dont let that hold you back from having beautiful boudoir portraits.

Mrs. A

So sorry it has taken me so long to get back to my poor little blog. Things have been CRAZY busy around here! I am not complaining though, because I have had a BLAST!

Mrs. A came to see me for a boudoir session last week. She was very shy and nervous, but by the end of the shoot I had her laughing and enjoying herself. She is married with 3 kids under 4 years old, so it was fun for her to do something for herself for a change. Not to mention something that reminds her of how beautiful she is.

New Special!

Ok, I have decided to have yet another Grand Opening Specail!!! I cant help myself. I love these shoots so much that I cant get enough of them. Ok, so here is the 411. Any session BOOKED(not shot) in June will get your session fee for $75! Thats HALF OFF! How it will work is, you will still pay $150 to book your session. Then $75 of that will go towards your order when it is placed. How cool is that? Same rules apply as usual. All of this only applies with a signed model release. When you sign a model release, you still have a say in what images are used publicly. I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience all the way!

Oh, I almost forgot! I got the new music up on the site. What do ya think?

All spots are filled!

WOW! I am so excited about the response I have gotten so far. I have filled all 5 model spots. They are all spread out throughout this month. So by July you should see a few new faces(bodies) on my site. Speaking of my site, I "plan" to take it live this evening. I have been working on a few last minute things for it. I still cant find music I just love, so for now it may go without it at all. Hmmm, maybe I should have a contest for who can find my music for me... Maybe I will. (hint hint hint)

Ok, I hate not having something fun going on. So the next five women to book, will get a mini accordian album(3x3) as a gift from me!

Oh, and check out my pimpin new blog! Itsnt it awesome! I love it. Nancy did it for me and I will provide her info as soon as she gives it to me! lol
