Welcome to THE BOUDOIR DIVAS' San Diego Blog!
HI LADIES!!! THE BOUDOIR DIVAS SAN DIEGO (formerly known as WOMAN CAPTURED) is a full-service boudoir studio that has become Southern California's premier boudoir studio in just a few short years. We absolutely adore that our job allows women to do something a little out of their character and gives them the chance to feel like a SUPERMODEL for a day, with a gorgeous photo album as a lifelong token to cherish.
The Boudoir Divas San Diego is a studio made up of six fabulous women, and we absolutely have a blast working together. We'd all probably admit that we have a dream job, and we can't wait to share some of the fun with you. Visit our website for more info about our studio and your photo shoot! www.TheBoudoirDivas.com
I (Crystal) was emailing back and forth with a client yesterday regarding her order and at the end of an email wrote, “BTW, what did you think of your supermodel video? What did your hubby think of everything?!!” Her response is priceless….
My oh my, I can’t even replicate the sound that came out of his mouth when he saw the photos; it was like an animal growl. He loves LOVES them to say the least, as do I.
I know he thought I was beautiful before, but the level of sexiness and sex appeal that the photos show just brought it to a new level. And for once, I feel the way he sees me! I think as women it’s hard to see ourselves in that way when we look in the mirror because we see the everyday woman in looking back at us, with all of the things we dislike about ourselves. But for some reason, seeing myself in print was completely different; I didn’t see the things about myself I don’t like, I saw the whole package…and I love it! The airbrushing helps of course (lol) but even with the non-retouched images, it’s the same. I am so grateful for this experience. I am telling everyone I can about it and I really hope my friends get to experience the same thing at some point.
I haven’t given him the video or greeting card yet, I want to save those as little surprises on a random day or for a weekend alone without our kids =) but the Supermodel Video was so fun to watch and I like how it brings the photo session to life, it’s awesome.
I want everyone to know about your studio and what a PHENOMENAL job you women do at making other women feel as amazing as you made me feel =)
Thank you!
Jessica
That is AMAZING! Wow, Jessica, you put it into words so well! It is wonderful to hear that you can see yourself through new eyes. The way you explain the end result is so powerful :). Thanks for sharing your experience.
Marissa just raved about how much she loved photographing Jessica’s Supermodel session. Check out some of Jessica’s album spreads!…
Thank you for the email and the teaser pic. The teaser picture made me even more excited to get my proofs back!! It looks awesome and I cannot wait to see the rest. The pictures you took looked amazing as is so it makes me curious/excited to see them touched up.
I am flattered that you guys would like to use some of my images on you blog, website, or portfolio and would be more than willing to sign a model release.
I would like to thank you so much for such a fun and wonderful day. It was such an amazing experience and I definitely plan on doing it again! You made it so easy to feel comfortable and at ease with a situation that some may feel to be awkward. Thank you for making be feel as beautiful as I should have that day and everyday for that matter. To be completely honest, your photo shoot made me feel more confident about myself and my body which is something that I have not had in a very long time. I really appreciate your time, hard work, and dedication to your craft of photography and making it such an enjoyable experience.
You can trust that I have already told many people about it and I will continue to as I think every women should have as much fun as I did that day!
I can’t wait to see how everything turns out. Hopefully I will get to see you when I get to pick up my book or at another shoot. If not, good luck with everything and especially your baby. Enjoy every moment of motherhood as I hear time flies by!
Talk to you soon and have a great week,
Amanda
………..My response…………….
Amanda,
Your email almost made me cry (in a good way!). That is one of the most well-worded testimonials I’ve ever received. What you wrote is exactly what we hope will happen! I sincerely do feel that every woman needs this reminder that she is beautiful, and I am SO glad that this experience brought that out in you :).. and that I was a part of that. Now my week is complete because I accomplished what I set out to do ;), which is to remind you that you ARE sexy & beautiful!! I hope that refreshed confidence carries over to your wedding! I really enjoyed working with you too. You were great at quickly figuring out the poses and had such great variety of expressions. Plus, you are simply just easy to get along with!
I put a “model release” form in your file for you to fill out when you pick up your completed order.
We will be emailing you the proof soon!

I got the BEST Thank You card! Look at this beauty made by hand form one of our AMAZING clients.
It reads:
Thank You! Before coming to you guys I was unsure about spending the money or getting down into my skevvies in front of strangers, but my husband is worth it and so was the major self-esteem boost!
It was like a “high” for two weeks after having my pictures taken! Your makeup artist, Peggy, made me look absolutely unlike myself…meaning a hotter version! I swear I didn’t want to take my makeup off!
And Deena was a sweetheart and I instantly felt comfortable around her.
Not to mention she is an utterly amazing photographer! I can’t say enough about your studio and the entire presentation. It was fabulous! I cannot wait to see the look on my husband’s face when he gets his hands on this “unique” anniversary gift! Many thanks!
Sincerely,
Jessica
Thank you Jessica for taking the time to make such a beautiful “unique” thank you card!

That’s right, you guys – it’s FINALLY time for us to start posting some videos from Paris! :) Here’s one that shows our outdoor fashion shoot with our fab model LoArna… we absolutely LOVED shooting on the streets of Paris, and our workshop attendees also got some stellar images for their portfolios! We LOVE Paris! :)
We usually go to Paris every spring for the boudoir workshop we host for other boudoir photographers around the world, but in 2011 we are changing it up a bit and going to the Caribbean. Can you imagine how gorgeous boudoir images will be in the blue Caribbean ocean. Wow.
Miss Stacy Clark, this out-of-this-world singer/songwriter asked us to not only photograph her earlier this year but also, gasp, lets us use her songs for our slideshows and marketing videos. Well now this beauty is officially a celebrity! Yay, she is itunes featured free download this week ! You deserve every bit of the recognition Stacy. Although we already knew you were a star inside and out. xoxo- Marissa and Kimberlee
We’re SUPER excited to share that we were nominated/voted as “Best San Diego Wedding Vendor for Boudoir Photography” in the annual Bridal Insider People’s Choice Awards! The people (aka: YOU!) have spoken and we now hold the title of 1st Place Winners! We were also voted as Best Boudoir Photography Studio in the 2009 People Choice Awards, so we are stoked to hang onto the title for a second year!
According to Bridal Insider, “The People’s Choice Awards are the highest recognition given to a wedding vendor because they are chosen by a vote of the local brides and grooms that have used your services. This year, we had an amazing turnout with over 2,500 votes from Brides & Grooms.”
August 11, 2010 - 6:13 pmMelissa McClure - Congrats ladies, you deserve it, I voted for you! Sad there was no shout out for me though! just kidding!
August 17, 2010 - 3:04 pmThe Divas - Sorry Melissa, I totally missed that! Congratulations, you deserve it! Shout-out to Melissa: Best Wedding Photog!! http://www.melissamcclure.com/ :) Crystal
Happy Tuesday to our lovely blog readers! Marissa here, excited to share a recent SuperModel shoot! What I especially love about this shoot is that Teylor approached her session as “playtime!” She came in with a great attitude, ready to have fun, and totally open to my suggestions on outfits and sets. Usually, our girls come in with outfits and set choices ready to go, and that is great too.. but, every now and then, it’s fun to lead the way and style a client for her shoot! Here are some of my favorite album spreads from Teylor’s high-impact 10×10 Art Book…
Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful images, Teylor. It was a pleasure to work with you! xo, Marissa
PS… as a part of the Supermodel PACKAGE here at the Divas’ studio, you’ll receive a bonus video (called our “Cinema Short”)! Check out the premier of Teylor’s Cinema Short here:

We just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to Heather Ford & the team at Fox 5 news for coming in to the studio this week! We had SOOOO much fun sharing all about our Pin-Up Parties and walking through what a Pin-Up Party entails. These parties are becoming extremely popular (our Saturday Pin-Up Party dates are already booked through JANUARY!) So if you’re thinking of planning a Pin-Up Party™ for your birthday, bachelorette party, or just a girls’ day out… give us a call and we’ll get a date on the calendar for you! (PS… the hostess of the party gets her shoot for FREE – that’s the major perk you get for inviting your friends!) Our studio: 858-485-0443
Ok – so here’s one of the segments from the news (this was segment #4, showing the ‘viewing’ of images after the pin-up party shoot). We’re hoping to post all of the other segments here too, so be sure to check back!
And here’s a little ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at the day, from the Divas’ point of view! Enjoy!
At the studio RIGHT NOW… filming four different segments for Fox 5… go tune in in the next hour and check it out!
To those of you who have seen us on the news this morning, and would like to find out more information, sign up below (we’ll be sending out an email later today with TONS of special deals!!!) Join our list our sign up below.

If you received our newsletter this week then you probably already have the lowdown on this goodness, but just in case…. we are going wild with giveaways to our fab clients!!! If your shoot is booked for Sept or Oct by Sept 2nd, then you may be the recipient of one of these killers prizes. Call 858-485-0443 to start a chat about your possible photo shoot. Remember we believe that every woman deserves to do this for herself and we find that if a client hasn’t been in for a shoot it is only because she is making excuses not to. The time is now ladies, do this for yourselves!!! It will be more rewarding than you ever imagined.
I also want to thank my wonderful friend Baylee Strayer who will be giving the massage. She is an amazing massage therapist and is also a talented yoga and wellness instructor. Baylee is state certified and graduated from the International Professional School of Bodywork. In talking to Baylee more and more I’m learning how important massage is for mind, body and soul. It helps melt away stress, tension, and soothes and moisturizes the skin. Sounds just like what the doctor ordered! If anyone out there feels like there head is spinning half the time like me then you need this! It is our hope that the massage will be schedule right after the shoot while you are waiting for your images to be processed but only if there are no other scheduling conflicts.
