Sexy & Giving back!

Hi Everyone!!
As a woman who is a few years older than 21 ;-) a few recurring topics come up: feeling not so pretty, getting older and breast cancer.

Yes these three things affect us in one way or another.

-Everyone has a day when they wake up and UGH! I feel fat, I have nothing to wear, I'm having a bad hair day or simply UGH!

-NO matter how hard we try- time cannot be stopped, We all get older (eventually)

-Breast cancer. The C word. It's such an ugly word. Statistically speaking we all know at least one person affected by it. Someone who has been diagnosed or someone who has lost a mother, aunt, sister, friend... to breast cancer.

I am only one person but I can help in more ways than one! I can get you in front of my camera and capture your beauty! I can "freeze" time by capturing you as you are now in an image. And most importantly I can help fund breast cancer research and help build awareness!!!

WOW! HOW you say?

well...

For every Boudoir session booked during the month of October, I will be donating a portion* of each Boudoir session booked to National Breast Cancer Foundation. This goes for all sessions booked by October 31st! If this wasn't enough of a reason.

Femme Fatale... Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! I had a marathon Femme Fatale session last weekend. It was my first marathon session and truthfully - I'm addicted. It was an absolute rush. I teamed up with Jessica of Elements Photo. These sessions were a little long, each lady had her own time with each one of us. They were well worth it! There are soo many gorgeous images.

What is a Femme Fatale Session? What I now call Femme Fatale sessions in the past have been called Boudoir, Pin Up or Glamour portraits. These terms seemed a littel dated to me, although calssic terms they don't reflect my style nor my clients. A Femme Fatale session is one where the focus is to capture not only your outer beauty but your inner beauty as well. My approach to these sessions is to talk about those thing which you LOVE, this typically lets that big bright smile shine through or that silent serene expression appear. The outcome is goregous, sexy with a hint of Oh so naughty images.

Why the name Femme Fatale? Throughout time the term has been tied to woman of all sizes, shapes and colors. Femmes Fatales have been viewed as both good and evil. However I always think of the strength, beauty & determination of such women.

The style of imagery varied as each woman is unique & also dependent on comfort level.

And without much more yapping, for now. Here are a few images from such session. OH and I would also like to add these ladies are not Models- but if Tyra's scouting--- she can call me I'll hook her up! ;-)














I will be offering these sessions once a month with limited spaces available, the first session will take place (tentatively) on Sept. 13th. If you are interested send me an email or leave a comment.

As an introduction to these amazing sessions I will be running a contest. The lucky winner (or two) will win a free session. I will be posting contest details soon... stay tuned.

We also had help with Make Up & Hair from Mary of Salon Rouge in Los Gatos & Brianne of Capelli Salon in Los Gatos. They did a fabulous job!! Steve Smith was on hand for lighting support and last but not least John of Dark Side of the Moon was nearby to lend some creative direction . It's awesome to have such talented Friends who are always willing to share their knowledge! But don't worry not every Femme Fatale session will be such a big production. Unless you request it! ;-) Femme Fatale photography packages are custom designed to suit your comfort level.
