I went behind the camera as “the model” again – this is my intern, Minh’s first time shooting me. What do you think?

Here’s a link to my radio interview, done on 5/27! That was a new, nerve-wrecking experience!

I’m looking for a FEMALE videographer, student or professional, that can film a bachelorette “boudoir” party on June 4 in San Diego. Looking for some editing to be done, and then to upload the video to YouTube. This will be a fun project… more details to come.
Please spread the word. I’m having a hard time finding a FEMALE videographer.

I have the BEST intern in the world!!!! …but she’s graduating from UCSD in a month, and she’s looking for a full time job so she can stay in San Diego! She has a B.A. in Political Science–International Relations with a Minor in English Literature and Visual Arts (Media & Photography). She is seeking a full time administrative position and is extremely punctual, thinks creatively and outside the box, types quickly and accurately, is organized, friendly and professional. Please contact me for a reference as soon as you read this! Sherry

So I’ve obviously confused a few of you — why would I be scouting for an outdoor location for a boudoir shoot? (boudoir means “bedroom” in French)
The thing is, I don’t only shoot boudoir-style sexy photography, nor do I shoot with simulated warehouse sets, nor do I only shoot bachelorette sessions. What I shoot is SEXY. Sexy is an attitude that can take place anywhere.
Initially, I will have a consultation with my you to find out a little bit more about your personality, and then I PERSONALIZE every photo session for to you! So, for instance.
I have a bride who wants to shoot at the Roosevelt in LA for an Old Hollywood glam feel.. this is a somewhat typical on-location boudoir shoot.
My client next week wants to be photographed “pin up style” in a large metal bathtub, but not with a boring white backdrop. Rather, she’d like to be surrounded by flowers in a field. I scouted and found a field that is private.
Another client’s fiance is a huge fly fisherman, and we’ll be shooting her in a river (maybe in Alaska, even!) with waders on and a bikini top.
In my most recent booking, my client doesn’t want to shoot in her bedroom, so she’s going to shoot in mine!
One client wanted to shoot outdoors, but her fiance wasn’t thrilled with her being photographed in lingerie. So we put on her bikini top and had a fantastic photo shoot! Once her fiance saw the images got the concept of what we were doing, he LOVED every photo. And they have booked their engagement session with me.
One local bachelorette party wants to shoot at their parent’s house around a beautiful pool. What a great idea!
My point is, I don’t have to shoot all “bedroom” shots. Sexy is conceptualized differently by each person. I am here to help you find a way to look and feel sexy, no matter what the situation or backdrop. I am open to and will embrace your suggestions and ideas.
Let’s conceptualize your session together! Feel free to tear pictures out of magazines that you like, do a little research on Google to see if you resonate with certain images. Then book your initial consultation with me, and I promise I will get even more excited!
