Change is in the air around here. We have had such an awesome team and we know that it is the people that we select that make our fabulous Diva experience fabulous! Recently we had to say a very sad goodbye to Danielle, who Dad’s health (please say a prayer for him although he is in recovery now) had her jumping to her family’s aid in a time of need. In the same couple of weeks we said bye bye to Ashley as she left to work at Barona (she went to school for hotel management so it makes sense). That left Deena, Crystal, Kimee and I (Weston helped with a lot too) with a lot on our hands and on a mission to find the perfect peeps to fill these wonderful ladies shoes. It was a hard task but with the help of our network of amazing friends, and tons of resumes to sift through we found the gals!

Next week we will introduce the new Boss Lady in charge of running the whole place, you may know her, then we also found our new Princess of Production, we hired a perfect fit for Photographer and Customer Service, then we even added another Photographer and Make-up Artist. Whew!!! We were busy and we love what we ended up with. We will make their big debut on the blog and site next week.

For now here are some teasers….

Tune in next week to meet them all!! xoxo- Marissa & Kimberlee

I love Fridays at the office. Friday is the day that we are typically the busiest and it is when the entire staff is in the office at the same time. So there is a lot of hustle, bustle, teamwork and silly banter going on. A couple weeks ago Deena (Diva Photog and Designer) told us all that she was going to start making sure she appreciated every little detail in her life, and that every morning she was either going to tell us or email us three things she was grateful for. They could be big things or little silly things.

Deen has stuck too this somethin’ fierce and, not only am I proud and inspired by her, but she makes me smile everyday with her morning list. I wanted to share a few with you….

Today I am grateful for:
My new shower head :) so amazing
That I got to see Crystal and her bundle of joy. She looks AMAZING!
and
Cheddar cheese pringles :)

Today I am grateful for:
Center Park [the place we order lunch from]
File folders
The Boudoir Divas

Today I am grateful for:
My Ugg boots!
Central heating
My computer is working great, unlike my hard drive :)

TODAY I AM THE MOST GRATEFUL FOR
Children’s hospital
Landon’s Nintendo DS
Landon’s cute ass mohawk, he is so cute. He makes my heart melt. [Landon is one of Deen's adorable kiddos above]

Deena we are so grateful for a friend and co-worker who is an amazing single mama, who works full time and never complains (even though she is completely allowed to), and is so giving of her love and time. You are the best!

We just wanted to post a quick note to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth yesterday at the Bridal Bazaar! We had SO much fun at our booth, and we loved chatting with all of you lovely ladies!

By far, the BEST part of our booth was this little beauty…

We gave away SOOOOOOOO many amazing prizes yesterday – including 3 LUXE photo shoots, TONS of Victoria’s Secret gift cards, and some “PRODUCTIONS” that you can use at The Boudoir Divas San Diego studio.

We also put together a little video that shows off how much FUN we had at our booth! Check it out…

One of the mottos here at the Boudoir Divas studio is: “EVERY WOMAN DESERVES TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL!” Check out this video to hear more of our heart on this issue…

Jennifer Lary is awesome! She is so beautiful inside and out. When I first met Jennifer I thought for sure she was a model then, as I started talking to her during her viewing I found a little more about her. She said that her friends were NOT going to believe her when they see her photos! She mentioned how she was a super casual girl who wears pigtail braids almost everyday! My jaw dropped when she told me this! I couldn’t believe what this super hot, model material girl was saying to me!

Hi Crystal,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone there for such an amazing experience!  Thank you for working with me on my payments.  You were very pleasant to work with.

I loved the whole thing!  I went from looking like a 16 year old girl to my actual age of 28 in those photos.  I loved them.  I know you guys have tons of ladies that come in and probably cannot remember everyones names but please tell Marissa, Peggy, Kimberlee, Deena thank you for all of there hard work.  Oh can’t forget the new girl (Danielle) that helped me pick out my photos, she was cool too!

I will let every lady I know to come to you guys.  Even if they don’t have a man to give these to, they should be getting them done for themselves like I did.  I can’t wait until I’m 80 and then I will really get to show my photos off  lol.

Anyway, if you would like to use my photos for stuff, please do.  You guys are amazing.  Have a wonderful week!

Jenn

Thank you, Jennifer, for letting us share your images, videos, and email here on the blog. We absolutely LOVE it when our clients let us ‘flaunt’ their photos here, because it gives other women the courage to think, “Hey, I could do that!!!” So, Jennifer, we just wanted to let you know how much it means to us that you’ve agreed to let us share your gorgeous photos. Thank you!

Check out Jennifer’s Supermodel VIDEO…

Here is part two of yesterday’s blog :)… a few more gorgeous girls who came in for photo shoots this Fall! Thank you for allowing us to share these, ladies! It is so fun to see all the variety. Every single photo shoot is unique, just like every woman who walks through our door ;). xo, Crystal

Lucky for us, a bunch of our clients have been signing a model release lately and granting us permission to use their photos if we wish! I wanted to share a few recent shoots. These sessions took place this past summer between June and August :). Enjoy! xo, Crystal

First off:  I LOVE Jennifer Love Hewitt. Always have!  Ever since her “I Know What You Did Last Summer” days :). She has such a sweet and wholesome look/demeanor while being knock-out sexy at the same time.  We even have one of her music videos on our playlist.. “BareNaked”.. fitting, right ;)?  Anyway, I wanted to share this YouTube video of a recent interview with Maxim Magazine.
Her responses to the questions about her Maxim photo shoot(s) remind me so much of what many of our clients say about their photo shoots with us! She mentions that each photo shoot represents a different time in her life. A lot of our clients return for second and third shoots with us just for that reason. Every single photo shoot is different. Whether it be different sets and outfits, or a different hair style, the sky is the limit as far as variety!
I also couldn’t help but love her “See, Mom was hot one day” joke because so many women who do a boudoir shoot feel the same way! Almost every day, I hear women say they want to book their shoot with us before they start having babies. Of course, I just laugh whenever a girl says that. I can totally relate, but I also think women can be sexy at all ages :).
One other quote that stood out to me was, “It was really fun to see how sexy I could be for the day.” That is something I also think our clients can absolutely relate to! It is exactly what we mean when we use our “Supermodel for a day” tagline :).
Check out the video and let me know what you think!
xo, Crystal

All of us had such a blast at the San Diego Style Magazine party a couple weeks ago! As we walked up to the top floor of Downtown Hard Rock Hotel we were given a warm welcome from the soldiers working with Toys for Tots.  After the gift giving we immediately made our way to the food tables! There were so many delicious dishes and treats to choose from! My personal fave was the teriyaki hot dogs, which sound a little interesting but trust me, they are soooo good!  Definitely look into TK & A Custom Catering to see their awesome menu!  In between the food and treat tables, we managed to fit in some fun photo sessions! Get flipped had a had a really cool photo booth where they took two photos and turned them  into a plastic “flip photo.” Starlight Photo Booth was also there making everyone look like rock stars!! Both booths are a great addition to any wedding or party! Definitely check them out! Below are some of the crazy photos they took of us!!

SDSW throws this fun event every year to celebrate the launch of a new magazine. Keep an eye out for our SDSW 2011 Ad!! Here’s a sneak peek!
