I think they made this wine for The Boudoir Divas!

All of us ladies here love Marilyn Monroe, in fact we have all 5'6 of her standing in the dressing room in our boudoir photography studio. You know, to help you channel your inner diva. It is like she is standing there rooting you on during your shoot. I found this wine a little while back and just had to blog about it. This has to be the best bottle ever created. Thanks for being so fabulously glamorous Marilyn! -M

"His side"

Usually, the last thing I say when a client is walking out the door with her completed book/gift in hand is, "keep in touch and please let me know how he reacts!" Some girls might think I'm just saying that to be nice, but I truly mean it! It really brightens my day when a client who recently gave her guy the gift of sexy photos emails me with an update :). I received a cute note such as this from Carrie a few days ago. She gave her new hubby his book as his groom's gift. Congratulations, Carrie, and thank you for sharing! Here's her note followed by the photo she emailed me...





And here is the infamous photo currently on "his side" of the bed ;)...



When Carrie and I were discussing her outfits and set choices before her photo shoot started, she pulled a couple of colorful scarves out of her bag and said, "I wear a lot of scarves and thought it would be fun to incorporate that into my photo shoot." For a second I started to feel nervous because I worried that if she were wearing a scarf, she would be all covered up, and how is that sexy? But, then I realized that the scarf could be the outfit, and all of the sudden it was totally sexy! It was fun that her style shined through.

Here are a couple of my other favorite images from Carrie's boudoir session...

Pin Up Party... Military Style

We had such a blast with these hot military wives! The girls came in on a Thursday afternoon armed with a bottle of wine, sexy lingerie, and fun-loving attitudes! The whole Woman Captured team worked together in order to make the shoot run with ease. Because each girl chose a different set, Deena and I shot simulatiously. Marissa helped to process the photos to prepare them for viewing and Amanda walked the girls through their "Premier." Amanda commented that it was the most fun she's had since working here! The girls had a great time helping each other choose the photos for their books right after their photo shoots.
Thank you, ladies, for letting us share about your boudoir party. We hope your hubbys cherish their books on deployment.
Lots of love,

Crystal, Deena, Amanda, and Marissa

PS. Girls out there these boudoir parties are also perfect for bachelorette parties in Florida, bachelorette parties in Arizona and bachelorette parties in Texas!

Every Woman is Unique & Beautiful

Even though our photography style is pretty much consistent, each and every photo shoot is different. Every woman who steps into our studio has her own style & personality which shines through in her images. Here are a few recent shots of girls who granted us permission to showcase their uniqueness. Thanks ladies; you are all beautiful! Crystal

We Love Pin Up!

Laura came in for her 1940s Pin Up style photo shoot back in August!! She surprised her husband with sexy photos for their 3-Year Anniversary gift! Here's what she wrote me about her hubby's reaction to receiving his anniversary gift:

My hubby absolutely LOVED his gift!!! He definitley wasn't expecting anything like that! He said the pictures were "hot" and "sexy", but all he really kept saying was "WOW!" He commented that he wished this was a gift he could "show off"....needless to say, he was VERY pleased with the album!
I just wanted to thank you again for putting me at ease and making me feel so incredlibly comfortable! I have been passing the word on about you ladies and how great your work is! I would totally reccommed anyone to do a photo shoot like this...I had so much fun and definitley intend on doing this again one day!!
Thanks Crystal!


Thanks for letting us share, Laura!









OK, so I got a little behind on blogging my recent photo shoots who gave us permission to share their photos. For all of you lovely ladies who have been anxiously waiting to see your spotlight on our blog, I have not forgotten about you! Keep an eye out for more recent shoots coming very soon!

Nightstand Portraits. Boudoir for the Bedroom!

I went to my friend Alice's house a while back, I had done her boudoir photo shoot and on her hubby's nightstand there was one of her gorgeous portraits in a beautiful frame. It was a black and white image, classy, but still very sexy. It was the perfect spot for a photo of her, after all "boudoir" means private bedroom. It got me to thinking about just how perfect boudoir photos are for a bedroom. Finding the perfect bedroom artwork has always been a challenge for me because you want it to be personal, romantic, and still not too girly. Before seeing Alice's bedroom portrait I had always thought that the album was the best way to display these intimate photos, but I now think that the bedroom portrait is a must-do accompaniment to the album. I realized that if anyone comes into your bedroom it is a close gal pal who knows you well anyway and has more that likely already seen your photos. So plaster away, you know your hubby will love it! Every type of boudoir portrait looks good, from pin-up to artsy, but my ultimate fav is black and white like Alice had in her room. -M
