over the past month, i have been attempting to put together an online portfolio of my boudoir clients. i have always had this fear of it - like i'm being disrespectful. at the same time, i know women want to know what to expect when booking me as their boudoir photographer... boudoir photography is an intimate thing and women need to feel like they can trust me to get a flattering angle. so it put me in a weird spot.... the thing is, when i asked a few of my clients if i could post a couple photos, the response was not at all what i expected "yes! please, feel free to  use whatever you'd like!" whatever i'd like!?!? really?!?! well ok then! my clients rock!! of course, i would NEVER post ANY boudoir photography from a client that was at all hesitant about it. it's a very intimate thing, and i would never want to show any disrespect to any of my clients.

about a month ago, lady j came in to the houston studio take some boudoir photogaphy as a wedding gift. weddings and photography just seem to go together - it's one of the most celecratory days of your life and between boudoir and wedding photography, it's great to have your memories documented through the lens of your photographer.

here are a few boudoir photos from lady j's session - and thank you miss j for letting me post some photos! keep an eye out for some complimentary product in the mail next week! :)

i loooooved this outfit! she brought along the tie that her husband was going to wear for their wedding, and paired it with some bridal lingerie. i always recommend bringing along the hint of a man for one of your photos. it reminds your guy that you had him in mind when you booked your boudoir photography session - even the centerfolds in every playboy issue have the hint of a man somewhere in the photo..... and yes.... i do consider that magazine a business expense. ;)
 

 

ok pretty ladies! J.Vallecorsa is setting up another boudoir photography marathon playdate this summer so be sure to get signed up soon since spots are limited and tend to fill up quickly.

this one will be held in the historic downtown Houston studio on August 28th and every package includes:
-30 minute make up session
-1 hour photo session
-unlimied outfit changes
-use of our intimate studio location
-online viewing gallery with print options
-and as always, mimosas and music will be free flowing to help calm the nerves!

i hope to see you there! and remember that i always offer a 10% discount when you book with a friend - so bring a group of your fav ladies and make a day of it. you can even head over to the spa afterwards in the same building as the studio for some extra relaxation and pampering! cheers!

it grew - like... REALLY grew. our business has gone from a few boudoir photography sessions a month to a few boudoir sessions a WEEK. this is on top of weddings, engagements, and senior photos. in may, we met our annual goals for the entire year. woah. this means one of two things - we're either getting much more word of mouth than we expected, OR we're really bad at estimating.

if i plan to be the boudoir, wedding, and senior photo photographer for all of this, it means i need some help on the back end. which brings me to the announcement of the addition of our new photo editor, steph! she has helped out in the past with our branding and logo design, and is currently helping out with a new project we are working on. adding her as a vital part of our photography company only made sense.

so kevin and i took a much needed break/company retreat over memorial day weekend and headed to charlotte to train steph on our style. the three us wandered around charlotte with a camera - ya know, for a 'company' photo. we intended for it to be somewhat serious - fail on our part - but i think these are only telling of our personalities... we're a little different!

 

steph - the ArtiTech
kevin - the Director of Dull Stuff
me... well... my title is boring... principal photographer... but i'm open to suggestion if you have one!

cheers to boudoir photography!
