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!

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

Living in a world where we are constantly bombarded with pressures of having the perfect body, it is easy to get caught up with negative thoughts about your own body. Kimee came across this image below and I think is a great reminder to everyone that beauty doesn’t just come in one pencil thin package. Each woman is unique and beautiful in their own way. Model Lizzie Miller talks about how this one little photo made such a huge impact in the lives of women across the world without it even meaning to. To see a beautiful model with a little belly roll is foreign to most of us but very encouraging at the same time. I think Lissie looks absolutely beautiful in her natural form, and is a reminder to all of us that we should focus on positive healthy views about our bodies and ditch the negative ones….after all confidence magnifies beauty ;)

LOVE :)

One of our amazing clients mailed us a hand-written thank you card this week. We are so honored to be a part of this experience for women. We all feel blessed to have such a rewarding job. xo, Crystal

Crystal and Deena,
My boudoir Divas experience has come full circle. My husband’s reaction to his gift was priceless… there was a lot of laughing combined with questions of ‘when? how? where?’ He loved loved LOVED it! We were on our way to the airport and he had to download the pics onto his laptop before we left! We just started trying to have a family ad he said that day, he wants me to go back and have pictures taken by you with my big belly. It is difficult to put into words what this experience meant to me. The two hours I spent at your studio made me feel sexy and beautiful. From the different outfits, and poses, to seeing the finished product, and holding back tears of excitement! Thank you for the work you do!!
Sincerely,
Liliana

Congrats Lili ;). Thank YOU for the card. It was a pleasure to work with you on this special gift! Crystal

We are so excited about our boudoir editorial photo shoot that we got to do earlier this week! We absolutely LOVE our job, and a huge part of that comes from the opportunity we have to be creative. There is nothing better than to take an entire day & plan a fashion-forward boudoir editorial photo shoot – JUST FOR FUN!!!! Want to see the result? Check out the behind-the-scenes video below:

Hi Crystal,

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!

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:

Marissa recently came across this gorgeous ad and just had to share…

She told me that it reminded her of this photograph of Marilyn..

Which was recently duplicated by Lindsay Lohan…

Love this one and wanted to share it too…

Marilyn: we heart u.

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

Last week, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Gretchen’s boudoir session here at our San Diego boudoir studio… and let me just say, this gal is GORGEOUS! It was such a fun shoot… I did the photo session… Marissa was doing all of the video shooting… and then we had a lot of fun putting together her Cinema Short! Gretchen also sent us the SWEETEST email after her shoot (read her testimonial underneath the video). Thanks so much, Gretchen, for coming in for your boudoir shoot with us, and thank you SOOOO much for letting us post your images & video!

Hi ladies,

I just wanted to thank you all so much for one of the most memorable experiences of my life! I had no idea when I booked my photo shoot with The Boudoir Divas that every expectation I had would be exceeded. I came in from Arizona especially for my shoot, and from the moment I pulled in to my cute VIP parking space, I felt like a star! I am a stay-at-home mommy who is lucky to put on a little mascara on a good day, so I definitely loved starting my shoot getting pampered by Peggy while sipping a glass of champagne :) . She made me feel right at home and my hair and make-up were exactly what I had envisioned.

I was a little nervous starting my shoot, but my photographer, Kimberlee, and videographer, Marissa, made me feel super-comfortable. With their helpful tips for cute poses, I felt like a pro in no time :) . I had a blast on the different sets (all gorgeous!) and by the end of the shoot, I was feeling so sexy, sassy and confident! Kimberlee’s photos just blew me away, and I can’t wait to see the video footage. These are two very talented women.

The icing on the cake was meeting with Ashley for the viewing of my proofs. When the very first image came on the screen, I was speechless. I never, ever thought I would be able to say I loved so many pictures of myself…..Ashley, thank you for your expertise- I know I was so indecisive :) !

I viewed my album proof today and again was so incredibly happy with the photos and design. Deena did a phenomenal job of putting it together. It looks exactly the way I want it, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I also wanted to give a special shout-out to Crystal. I must have called her at least a dozen times to go over ideas, suggestions, and information, and she was extremely helpful and sweet.

I can’t wait for my husband to see the album!! I just know he’s going to absolutely LOVE it. I am beyond happy, and I just wanted you all to know how special of an experience this was for me. Everyone and everything at Boudoir Divas was top-notch. I kept telling myself during the shoot to soak in every moment because this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Ha, not quite….once I viewed my photos, I decided I want to come back after the next baby :) ! A million thanks to the best team of women- you ladies are awesome!

Gretchen
