Introducing “Minus the Boobies” Mini Sessions

You are probably wondering “what the heck is that?!”  Well, here goes. HAHA The past few weeks I have been getting A LOT of requests for headshots and sessions for up and coming models who are building their portfolios.  They didnt really want “boudoir” but I got emails that said “we love your style, can you still help us?”  I thought about it and yes I can! It’s just LIKE boudoir, MINUS THE BOOBIES!

If you are interested in booking one of these sessions (limited dates available), shoot me an email or give me a holler at 951.440.9939.  A new FAQ about these sessions will be available on my website tomorrow.

Meet Zoe

Haha. This is my boxer, Zoe, aka crazy long tongue.  Was trying to take some pictures of my daughter and she kept getting in the way.  I told her to move and she gave me this “What, you dont love me?” look. Goofball.

San Diego Boudoir Photographer | Random Jabber

Doesnt the post title look funny?  I always feel like the biggest dork putting “San Diego Boudoir Photographer” in my post titles but I do that for Google so potential clients can find me. Just thought I should mention that so people dont think I am crazy and having to continuously remind myself of my own job. HAHA!

Okay, so onto the random jabber.  Great weekend, fun clients. Love meeting new people!  Hmm?  What else? I moved a few weeks ago so I am still trying to play catch up. I should take a picture of my home office. It is a mess. It’s kind of that extra room we threw all the random boxes into an just never unpacked.  Somehow my kids tipped over a box of random pictures and I was looking at the stack on the ground thinking “what is that? Oh great, its a picture of a placenta.”  Yes, disgusting. I know. Why I even have a picture of my placenta I have no idea.  You’d think that puppy would be stashed away somewhere never to be found again but nope, right on top.  Fabulous. The picture underneath of it wasnt so fantastic either.  Just sayin.

Okay right, back to my original thought….(I am sort of ADD)….boxes, moving, catching up! I’m hoping by TOMORROW (actually today, its 1:20 am, I had a coffee @ 11 to try to keep me awake) all of last weekend’s shoot galleries will be ready! Weeee! Thanks for hanging tight this week, girls! You rock!

Ooh, another thing, just hit 550 fans on the Facebook page. Double weeee! I swear I dont spam people so for them to just add me on their own makes me happy!  Smooches to all of you!

Last random thought, google Lillian Bassman.  She’s 93 year old New York photographer and I just find her work from the 40s and 50s soooooo inspiring! It’s kind of boudoir-ish. Maybe more to the “glamour” aspect but wow, I love it.  I also love her love story.  In love for 77 years until he passed away at the age of 94.  Gives you chills, right?

Okay, I should stop my middle of night blabbering.  Here is a picture from today.  Dont expect it to be awesome, its from my camera phone.  Don’t let my husband see either, I tell him how hard I am working when I’m at my studio while he is home watching the kids. ;)

Sorry and Daphne

I know I have been a bad blogger! Sorry for that! This month has been a little nuts.  Had some great sessions with some great people, am getting ready to move (locally), and preparing for Micah and Emily’s wedding on Saturday.  Stay tuned for that blog post in a few days!

In the meantime here are a few pics of my daughter from last week. I woke up to plastic doll feet being bounced on my face and when I opened my eyes saw that my four year old had an entire crew sleeping with us in the bed.  Yes, she still crawls in our bed every night (actually early morning around 3-4 am.) I hear my creaky door open and it used to scare me thinking it was a knife wielding murderer but it’s always a small girl with her hands full of her “friends.”  Which I guess could be equally scary if you werent expecting it or dont have a small girl living with you in your house.  LOL Anyways, I will stop blabbering now.

P.S.  If you see drool on the pillow, let’s blame the kid.

Daphne and Lola, her Build-a-Bear that she got with my grandparents.  She hasnt lost Lola’s shoes yet which means she EXTRA loves her.
