Miss J – Boudoir – Valdosta, Georgia

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:29:01 +0000

I adore this woman. We met for a consultation before her shoot and she declares, “My husband told me I look the best I ever have. I want to do this now.” I have no idea what she looked like before we met, but she is a knockout now. We did a few shots at the request of her hubby (men love those daisy dukes) and some gorgeous girly ones for her. The best thing… she didn’t want to secret her pictures away in an album. She wanted a collage of 10 photos hung on her wall. I will update later if she sends me a picture of the display. J, I had so much fun working with you. I hope we’ll get to work together again.

Nicknames… some we love and some we hate. Either way, it means somebody has thought enough about you to come up with something original.

What is your nickname?

My nicknames I love and hate from the people I love:

CJ = Stinky (rolling my eyes) or Sexy

Friends = Les

Beauty Tip – Silk Bedding

Sounds like it’s simply a luxury doesn’t it? Actually, they can be fun at night and also make you look better in the morning. Silk sheets do the following:

1) Preventing creases in your face

2) It won’t absorb your expensive facial creams like a cotton pillow case.

3) Your hair won’t tangle and knot if you toss and turn

4) They feel delicious on your whole body

If you can’t afford silk, satin will suffice. Sweet dreams!

Mr. & Mrs. F

Mrs. F is a regular client of mine from the Bay Area of California. I shot her wedding way back when and have done 3 boudoir shoots with her. In fact, she was my first in a gorgeous suite in a beautiful San Francisco hotel. This time, I wanted to collaborate with my favorite Sacramento makeup artist, Courtney Carmack of Kiss & Makeup. We wanted to do a darker boudoir shoot with a sort of goth theme. I know… so different from my usual style. We started shooting and chatting. This girl can pose and sell it! Anything I asked of her, she was game. Anyway, we started talking about her husband’s tattoos. The three of us decided that we would have to drag him to the shoot and incorporate his ink and a little fake blood. (Yes, Courtney just happened to have fake blood in her kit. Ha!) He was pretty hesitant at first, but once we got “the shot,” and told him he could go, he said, “That’s it? Just that? No more.” I think he was enjoying his moment in the spotlight. I just wanted to share this shoot with y’all and say a big thank you to Mr. & Mrs. F!

“Aruba, Jamaica; Ooh I wanna take ya.” I hope you had a spectacular Labor Day Weekend! Sadly, that means that the summer has come to a close. Whether it was this summer or another time in your life…

What is the best vacay you’ve ever been on?

Hands down, it was my honeymoon at Petit St. Vincent. Beautiful island and the best service. Another thing I loved? They have golden labs running loose. Any vacation is made better when there’s a puppy’s belly to rub.

Beauty Tip – Faker’s Pedi

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:00:05 +0000

I’m not an advocate of faking it, but I must say that I’ve been known to fake a pedi. Well, CJ knows I do this because he bears witness to my secret. I am terrible at keeping up with my polish. I work too hard on projects to keep these tootsies looking anything resembling pristine. My solution is peep-toe shoes. They’re as sexy as something strappy, but you only need to paint two toes on each foot! Use a quick dry top coat and you’ll be set to go in no time! Just don’t kick off your shoes.

Check out Sephora for OPI polishes for fun colors with names that will have you smirking all evening. My favorite: Miss Bossy Pants.
