Ms. Kimi - Santa Clarita Boudoir Photographer

This girl is just way too pretty for her own good... She was so much fun to shoot with and so easy! She took direction well and was just as sweet as pie! Can you believe this was her very first shoot...EVER? Hair & Make-up done by the one and only Alaina Manibog. You did amazing Kimi, and I can't wait to work with you again, whenever that is! :) I'm sure I'll see you in magazines one day... and I can say I was your first photographer!!! :-P Enjoy!

Mrs. Columbia

Isn't she just gorgeous? After Alaina and I finished this shoot, Alaina brought up that she looked a lot like Sandra Bullock and even Kim Kardashian! She totally does! Silvia is a Columbian native who is surprising her husband with some absolutely stunning pictures for his birthday. He's currently deployed, and he's being led on to think that she's buying him something...which, is the truth...somewhat! I can't wait to hear about his reaction when he receives that package! She's done some modeling work back home, with some big names like Guess. I love the dynamic of women that I do sessions for. Women who are experienced in modeling, and women who have never had any type of photo shoot other than those cold and awkward "tilt your forehead towards me, chin right, ear down, shoulder back, OKAY HOLD IT!" school photos.  It really makes my job a lot more fun having such a great mixture of clients.

Thank you Silvia, you did an amazing job and you look amazing!!! Your husband is one lucky man!

Curvy beauty!!!

I really, really couldn't pick which ones to share with you all. I just loved every single one of the pictures that I edited of Ria. What it really came down to was what ones I found appropriate for sharing. :) She was such a sweet girl, her beauty really does run bone deep. Ria contacted me a few months ago, and we set up this session around her family vacation. She drove all the way down from San Fransisco to beautiful San Diego for this shoot! I was so flattered that she chose Alaina and I to work with her! These are going to be an anniversary gift to her fiancé. SO excited for him to see these! Prepare Ria, he will be at your feet! Hehehe.  You did such a great job, you would have no idea that this was your FIRST shoot ever!!!

Just one!

Here is a preview of Ms. Ria's boudoir I did yesterday. She couldn't stand to wait and just wanted to see ONE picture!!! Just one! :) Gorgeous!!!

Timeless Beauty

There is something about vintage anything that is SO appealing to me. You can find me in antique malls and flea markets for hours just rummaging through what looks like to be junk and coming back with some definite finds! I love the 70's back (sorry 80's, but you were a little much... And don't even get me started on the 90's! Well, I take the back, Full House...I will always love you, not matter how cheesy!) but my absolute favorites have to be 20s-50's. I am so in love with the clothing back then. The suits, the fedoras for men and the beautiful hats for women. *Sigh* Things were still kept classy, and I think that's why I tend to be attracted to this time period. I find a lot of my inspiration from vintage photography, especially for boudoir sessions. I just love, love, love those old risque photographs that were oh-so-scandalous back in the day! Women didn't have to bear all and it was STILL so sensual.

My last boudoir session was so much fun. I met Nikki through Alaina because Alaina actually assisted her when she was getting her hair career started years back. Nikki does all those fun runway shows and is a part of the set team at Rust Salon in Hollywood. She contacted me because it was her man's birthday soon, and she wanted to surprise him with some special pictures. :) Now, before every shoot, I always brainstorm and come up with a theme that I want to stick to. I'm a big supporter of "tear-outs." Whether it be a certain type of edit, wardrobe, props, whatever...if I see something I like online or in a magazine, I tear it out and use that as a reference to what I base my shoots off of. Nikki said she wanted something along the line of pin-up and something retro so that's what we had originally had the idea of doing. I always try and make each session unique...and you see pin up as a regular and common option for boudoir. Don't get me wrong, I looove pin up. Elvgren and cheesecake...classic! But I wanted to spice it up a little bit more and give her something that you don't see often. Alaina and I were brainstorming the night before and were throwing out different ideas. And all of sudden, BAM, I knew what I wanted this shoot to be! I told Alaina and we got all giddy like girls do late at night...Hahaha. I couldn't think for the life of me how to describe those pictures in google so we could search for them... A long time later, it came to me and we found a lot of inspiration for our shoot. We showed Nikki the next morning and she fell in love. Good thing Nikki brought her whole lingerie drawer, because we found the perfect pieces to put together to fit the look we wanted. She looked beautiful with all her hair, makeup, and styling finished. She was shy and reserved at first, but by the first couple of poses, she had it down, and she knew she looked good!!! Hehehe.

Nikki, thank you for trusting us to do your photos. You were so much fun and did an awesome job as model. :) Here are some of my favorites. We also did a few 70's themed photos. I would have loved to post more, but those ones are for that lucky man only! :) Enjoy!
