Boudoir Divas Pin Up Parties are SO FUN!

The Divas — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:08:09 +0000

Our whole staff has sooo much fun each time we hold a Pin Up Party at our studio. All of the girls attending have so much positive energy that it feels like it projects onto us! The ladies are all dolled up with hair, make-up, heels, and sexy outfits, and are having a great time with their friends. My favorite part of the day is when I hear the group watching a slideshow of images from one of the girls’ photo shoot. You can hear anything from squeals of excitement to “oohs and ahhs” or “you look HOT!” and “you look beautiful!” I smile every time. The Pin Up Party we held about two weeks ago was no exception to this. The ladies were gorgeous and super sweet. The hostess sent me a little thank you email the next day and I wanted to share it along with a couple of group photos… xoxo, Crystal

P.S. I would also like to shout out a big THANK YOU to our fabulous stylists Peggy Rogers and Christa Thorton from Elite Salon who did the hair and make-up for the party!

Crystal,

Just wanted to thank you and your staff so much for the whole experience at our pin up party this past weekend (6/26/10). You ladies really made us feel comfortable and beautiful. All the girls were very pleased with everything from hair and make up to the actual photos. Can’t wait to see the final product!! Thank you again to you and your staff for a wonderful experience.

Kind Regards,

Kim F

Summer Wedding Trend: Hot Pink & Black

The Divas — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:00:38 +0000

AKA: DIVA colors!!

We recently learned of San Diego Wedding Insider, another Fab online resource for Brides & Grooms (specifically in San Diego)! We saw their blog post about this popular San Diego Summer Wedding color scheme, and HAD to share! We’ve been loving the Hot Pink & Black combo for some time, and it is so fun to see it pop up in weddings! Plus the little collage they put together is cute eye candy for our blog!

Also wanted to share that SD Wedding Insider wrote a little blurb about us!

::TheKnot.com:: A Great Resource for Brides

When I started planning my wedding about 3 years ago, the first website I visited was www.theknot.com. I found myself on the website late at night searching for all things wedding-related. Throughout the months of planning, I browsed through gallery after gallery of wedding hair styles, shoes, and more. The Knot has a stellar reputation among Brides-to-be, and girls are more than happy to tell their friends about it. That’s how I heard about The Knot. We just wanted to share some love with The Knot today :). If by some chance any of you soon-to-be-Mrs. haven’t checked out their website, we encourage you to!
While visiting their site, you may also catch a glimpse of our new banner ad that launched this week :). We’re pretty excited about it! xoxo, Crystal

Beautiful Mama-To-Be

The Divas — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:00:40 +0000

I had the pleasure of working with Katie for her Mama-to-be photo shoot last week. Katie has great style and it was fun to see that shine through during her session. As a result, she has a blend of sweet, sexy, and artistic images. Thank you, Katie, for granting us permission to share your ‘Hot Mama’ pics!

xoxo, Crystal

Sexy ‘Skin It’!

The Divas — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:57:06 +0000

I just HAD to share this with all of you! I recently came across an awesome Google review written by one of our fabulous clients, Christa, about her experience at our studio. I literally laughed out loud when reading Christa’s genuine, and plain funny review…

I set-up a Pin Up Girl party for a bunch of co-workers and we had an absolute blast! All ages! All body types! Every single lady walked out of there with a confidence boost after previewing their pictures. I am talking about women here. We never like a picture of our face, much less our scantily clad body! When we got the hard copy albums, everyone was so proud of their hotness that they brought them to work and showed anyone who asked! So many perks for the host! Crystal is amazing! I know that it’s their job, but they actually make you feel like you missed your calling to be a model. Every girl should do this at least once. I am planning on going back once a year. My husband loved the pictures and has them all over his locker at work and even made a “skin” for his phone. When people comment on it and he tells them, “that’s my wife”….they call him a liar. He LOVES that and so do I. Check my profile pic. Enough said. Crystal shot it. I had pics taken a few years ago at another studio BEFORE I had a baby and had a perfectly toned stomach. Those pics actually are repulsive to me, now that I have these. Thank you Boudoir Divas!!!!

By the way, I was hesitant to blog that review because she mentions me a couple times, and I didn’t want it to seem like I’m all, “Hey everyone, I’m great!” Ha ha, BUT, the point is I had never thought of the idea of making a phone “skin” out of the photos! I asked Christa to email me a couple pics of her hubby’s phone cuz I was dying to see! Check it out!

Awesome, right?! Anyone else think so??
xo, Crystal

P.S. I figured some of you reading this may wonder about how to acquire the digital images from your photo shoot with us. Some of our packages DO include a disk of images or you can purchase a disk “a la carte.” Along with your disk, we will give you a permission form that allows to make reprints for personal use :). A phone skinit on your husband’s phone is completely considered personal use ;)!

Studio Stories | Marissa Takes On The Day

The Divas — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:42:00 +0000

Morning everyone! We always say that we have so much going on here, just complete randomness galore. So I wanted to just walk you through about half a day here so you can get a visual of what really is happening in this big ol’ studio. For the most part I feel a little lost through out the day, me n K’s matching dry erase to-do boards are absolutely essential (as I wrote that sentence another to-do just popped into my head and I just had to add it to my board before I forgot what it was entirely, change our Client Lounge to talk about our Supermodel Cinema Boudoir Short on our Supermodel Boudoir Package). Thanks for stopping by our blog y’all. It always amazes me when I look at our google analytics stats and see a combined total of 30,000 plus hits per month on our sites, wow. Who woulda ever thought our wacky world would be so interesting to people. I feel very lucky.

xoxo, Riss

HOT Mama!

The Divas — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 22:17:09 +0000

As soon as I met Brooke and Ryan on the day of Brooke’s Mama-To-Be photo shoot, I knew it was going to be a great session! Brooke is a beautiful girl with adorable style and when that is combined with the expectant mommy glow, she is stunning! A girl who knows what she wants; Brooke told me she liked the soft and sexy style of our boudoir photography, but with a soon-to-be mama twist ;). I have to give a shout-out to Deena who I called my “Creative Director” while helping out in the studio that day!
xoxo, Crystal

Out with the old, in with the NEW!

The Divas — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:50:04 +0000

Does your husband have any posters, calendars, or magazines on display with images of other scantily clad (half-clothed) women? Have you asked him to take them down (with the very valid reasoning that the calendar is two years out-dated)?! Have you even taken them down to find that he put them back up because he claimed that he didn’t have anything to replace it with? WELL. If you can relate to any of this, then I’d say you’ve found a way to replace his cheesy, outdated workspace decor ;)!

Call us to book a shoot and we’ll help you print up a calendar or your own “Maxim” style magazine to replace his old collection! It will be the best gift he’s ever received! (858) 485-0443. xoxo, Crystal

Hi Crystal,

So here is the before and after on the calendar and he loved it… when he opened the card he didn’t even realize it was me! He can’t stop looking at everything! This was the best gift he said he ever got. He even asked if I would do it again. I told him (the investment amount) and he said he didn’t care about the money because it’s so worth it. Will you send your new pricing?

Thanks again for helping make this a great Valentine’s Day for Aaron.
