one more week + random fun stuff

Okay, first off, I have ONE spot left for this coming weekend Oct 10th @ 3:30 in West Hollywood at a super rad hotel.  Hair and makeup artist will be available in suite.  Come get done up, get some rad pics, then go hit up Sunset blvd since you’ll be there anyways (and feeling and looking hot!) Shoot me an email at desireehayesphotography@gmail.com or give me a ring 951.440.9939 (email is faster today, I currently have Rockband playing kids in the background which is no bueno for talky talky.)

So after you book the session above, HAHA, you all have to go check out Eitak Designs blog! She did a boudoir shoot a few months ago (and was sooooo fun! You rock, Katie!) and look how she displayed her images (THE FOLLOWING IMAGE IS FROM HER BLOG.)

Isn’t that the awesome-est!? She is sooo creative. I would have never thought of that! If you are in Southern Cali, check out her website.  She does murals, faux finishes, invitations, graphic design, lots and lots of creative awesomeness!

Hmm, what else? Oh I know, I was going to ask what your favorite book recommendations were? I am going to be doing a lot of flying soon (boudoir marathons, wooo!) and could use a few book recommendations!  Oh and on the flying front, Dallas is fully booked, thank you DALLAS! I do have a few openings for Scottsdale, AZ (November 13)  San Francisco, CA (November 20) and Atlanta, GA (Jan 14-15) <– yes, pimping again, that’s my job, I have to! Haha! Have a great Sunday everyone! Don’t forget to throw some book recommendations in the comment box!

P.S. If you aren’t sick of me already and want to check out a Q and A thingie I did last week go on over to Wendy VonSosen’s cool blog and check it out! Smooch to Wendy for being so sweet!

Boudoir Albums

Here are a couple of pictures of what the boudoir albums look like. Perfect size for your underwear drawer. Wait, did I just say that? If I ever die, please do not look in my underwear drawer (or nightstand.) That especially applies to my parents, inlaws, and children. :P

Anyways….these come in a ton of different colors and fabrics.  I do keep some in stock so I can have a faster turn around time but you can custom order any color or fabric you like (takes about 4 weeks.)

San Diego Boudoir: Sneak Peek for the beautiful *C*

You did fabulous, girl! What a great groom’s gift! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Bad Blogger……AGAIN.

Sorry! I am such a terrible blogger. I kind of figure people come here to look at pictures and not for my stellar writing skills (*snicker*) so if I dont have permission for blog sneaks I just neglect the blog all together!  I am working on putting up some pics of the albums so that will be up in the next day ish.

Hmm, what else? Ooh, I also started taking Zumba classes. Those are really fun! If you havent tried it yet, you should!  I have the coordination of a newborn giraffe so if I can do it, everyone can do it!

School is almost out! Yay! Waking a kid up at 7 am that doesnt want to be woken up (dont blame him!) is NOT fun.  Why does elementary school start at 7:40 anyways? I am SOOOO looking forward to summer break!

AND….because no blog post should be without images………

My little monkey, Daphne, acting crazy (gee, I wonder where she gets that?)

Daphne giving my niece, Sophie, a smooch

and see, I do have a son. He exists.  Jevin is not a camera fan.  Playing Rockband with papa.

See? I told you.  LOL He’s saying “no pics!”

Okay, I will stop now. ;) Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. I have some summer openings for boudoir sessions too, give me a holler if you are interested.

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. ;)
