Clients come to me with all kinds of requests. Whatever the desire, I do everything I can to give them exactly what they want. This time Amy wanted one of her photographs to have a retro kind of glamour look. After the shoot she selected this shot and I did a little magic to create the look she wanted.
Amy loved the end result saying, “It looks perfect, just like I had imagined.”
One of my boudoir photography clients last month wanted me to do a fun BBQ pin-up for valentines. As a boudoir photographer herself, she knew there was one photographer that she would go to for her pin-up photographs – Orcatek Photography.
Of course the pin-up was a surprise, so she requested I wait until after valentines day before I showed it here on my blog.
As you can see we had a great time creating this photograph and many others. When I create pin-up boudoir images I like to process them to create the effect of them being graphic art like some of the classic pin-ups of the past.

Recently I had a chance to do a fun boudoir photography shoot where we had access to a bathtub full of bubbles. A tub with bubble bath gives a photographer a chance to have some fun.
This photograph was originally planned to be a traditional color photograph, but every once in a while I will try an alternative treatment on an image to see where it can go. In this case I found black and white to be very effective. Both Monique and I liked the B&W treatment over the color version of this photograph.
Even though I always have the final photograph in mind when I do click the shutter, I find that having an open mind during processing opens the door to some fun and interesting alternatives.
Monique said she liked how much more sexy the Black and White version looked.

What to give the groom as a special gift is a challenge that brides often face. Bridal boudoir photography rapidly is becoming a great answer to that very question. I love to shoot this type session as the bride to be is always so very excited, and I know the groom to be will never forget this very special private gift.
This time the room we shot in had lots of mirrors for me to work with. I love mirrors when I shoot, of course they do present challenges for a photographer as it is often difficult to hide yourself when dealing with multiple mirrors such as in this shot.
Of course I am always up for a new challenge when I can make a future bride look this beautiful. We had a really fun time during her shoot, and I know her groom will love the private label album she had created just for him.

Valentines Day is approaching and one sexy gift that seems to always be very popular is boudoir photography. Every year an amazing variety of women come to the decision that glamour photographs would make the perfect, sexy gift for that someone special in their lives – husband, boyfriend and lovers. While posing as a your sexy self you might feel like you could feature on https://www.fuckedtube.xxx/ or another similar adult site, and your partner will most likely think the same when you surprise them with the sexy shots.
Each woman brings her own special style and sexiness to the session. Some choose to take that literally with products from Lovegasm, others have a more subtle note. As the photographer I consult with them prior to the shoot on ideas from lingerie to fantasy outfits. As a photographer, it can be easy to just assume that those being photographed will just be wearing lingerie, but some have kinks and fantasies of outfits they want their partner to see them in, and vice versa. For example, some will want to wear sexy costumes for the shoot, or perhaps they’ll find the hottest in Latex fashion bodysuit for their partner to admire. As a photographer, this variation is great and always sets a new challenge or new angles for me to work with. Additionally, some may get inspiration from a series of nsfw reviews from here, whilst others may be going for the more classical artistry angle. I work to learn their style so each shoot is different. Some clients want to add fine art nudes to the mix, others bring in motorcycles or even cars into the studio (nice to have enough space to shoot a car). Just when I think I’ve seen everything, someone will come up with a new request and I love it.
But my boudoir photography shoots are not limited to just shooting at The Studio, my Tempe photography studio. I do a lot of work on location as shown in the shot above. Some women like to shoot at local resorts and some even have me shoot in the privacy of their homes. Each location gives plenty of creative opportunities to create some sexy boudoir photographs for the special Valentines Day gift from you to him.

She couldn’t believe that she won. She said that she never wins anything. Well this time she did win, and it was going to be a very special prize.
She came down to the studio this weekend to receive her boudoir photography prize session. She was very nervous as she had never done anything even remotely like this before. I told her that most of my boudoir clients were just as nervous as her, if not more, as they too had never done this before.
She had brought someone to help her with outfits and provide moral support. I never find that this really helps some of the women who come for boudoir shoots. Others prefer to keep it a secret and come alone.
The typical boudoir session starts with a standard set of shots. This allows my client to get use to being in front of the camera, and allows me to learn how they react and follow direction. I did the same with my winner, and then towards then end of this very brief set I discussed her desires and ideas for what she was hoping to see in her photographs.
Once we had her desires and limits down, we progressed into the main session. As we moved through the various sets and outfits I would stop every so often just to show her a few samples of what I was seeing through the camera. She was amazed by what I was capturing. She wanted to know how I could make her look so good without even retouching. I explained that with some proper lighting and posing I was bringing out her true beauty.
The next day I sent her secure proofs out to her for her selection of final boudoir photographs. Her first response, “I’m amazed at how well they turned out,” followed quickly by the all too common, “I am having a very difficult time choosing.”
Once she gets me her selection list, the will be hand retouched to create the final photographs. She will then see another secure proof before the are printed.
Sometimes people ask why there are often no pictures in my blog from a boudoir shoot. My client’s privacy is very important to me. As a result, I only show photographs with prior permission of my clients.

Our boudoir photography contest ended yesterday and the response was terrific. We asked the entrants to say why they wanted to win and the reasons given were different with each entry. There were a few themes that ran through the entries though.
The most obvious theme was the desire to make it a gift, from anniversary present to gift for future groom on their wedding day, and of course a Christmas present. Giving something special was a very common reason.
Another popular theme that ran through the submissions was a gift for themselves as well as their loved ones. Women wanted to lift their spirits, boost their confidence, feel sexy and capture their youth. A great reason for a boudoir photo session. Being captured as a sexy, alluring woman in a photograph is a great feeling, especially when you could be sexy and confident enough to star on a site like www.hdtubemovies.xxx if you so wanted.
The most unexpected group of entries came from men. They wanted to give the boudoir photography sessions to their wives to tell them they think they are amazing and sexy. The men said that wanted to show the woman in their lives that they believe they are beautiful, sensuous and just plain hot!
Whatever the reason, boudoir and glamour photography make a great gift for that special person in your life.

When a couple comes to my studio for their boudoir photo session, they often don’t really know exactly what type of photographs they want, other than they would like to pose together as a nude couple. So one of the first things I like to show them, as a photographer, is some of my couple’s fine art nude work.
I find often the fine art nude style is something they had not even considered, but are very interested in doing some once they have seen the samples. They will describe these types of photographs as “classy and tasteful”, something they would actually display in their home for others to see without feeling embarassed.
The are of creating complimenting shapes with couples does present some extra challenges. You now have two bodies that the photographer needs to protect modesty. Additionally they both may have some physical attributes which they would prefer to be managed or concealed. With careful posing and lighting, the photographer can create photographs which anybody would be proud to display in their home.
One of the methods photographers like is to intertwine the bodies of the man and women, wrapping arms and legs into a twisted puzzle. When I use this technique, I like to shoot tight, often making in a challenge to identify the body part owner’s in the photograph.
Another great technique it to compare or contrast the same body part. Chests, backs and rears are all great choices for this style of photograph. He likes her rear, she like his, and a great photograph is just waiting to happen.
Even though fine art nudes are not typically thought of as boudoir by most, adding them to the styles available to boudoir photography clients provides another an opportunity for couples to create photographs that are tasteful and beautiful.

This week I received an unexpected e-mail from Ellen, a woman that had a boudoir photography session a few months ago. She talked about how much she her husband still loved the book we created, but she also wrote about something else the book had done for her. Something she had not expected, but it was something she could not thank me enough for.
Ellen was my typical client, a real woman – in her late thirties who didn’t live in a gym. She only did the book as her husband had been raving about how much his friend loved the one he got from his wife.
She said I could quote part of her very personal letter here:
“I never really saw myself as beautiful. I always felt plain or average. Whenever I would look in the mirror I would focus on what I saw as my flaws.
But now my life has changed. The boudoir photographs you took brought out all my best features and made me look more beautiful than I had ever imagined. I have found a new confidence that came from seeing myself they way Dave has seen me. He has always told me that he loved the way I looked and now I see it too.
I just didn’t know where to look for my own beauty before the session. I was blinded by my own point of view. Now when I look in the mirror I give myself a quick look and do a little turn and there I am, SEXY Ellen. It sets my mood for the entire day, confident and proud.
Thank you so much for finding the real me. Dave says thanks too!”
It made me feel good to get this letter and know that I had an impact on someone life. Good luck Ellen, you deserve the best!
