Sexy Soirée Boudoir Workshop Model

Where do I even begin with the beautiful woman featured in this post? I feel like my life pretty much started with her actually! While I was growing up, my Mom and I moved almost every year or two during my schooling. The longest amount of time I spent at any school was for 3 whole years at Vail Pittman Elementary School (here in Las Vegas) during the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. I feel like I was able to make my closest friends there in all of my years in schooling because of this. I was particularly close with a group of 3 other girls, whom I have mentioned before as the Fighting Foxes. Our friendships carry on to this very day, although as adults we all have such busy lives that I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I’d like to.

So, when my friend Corinna told me she needed updated images for a Playmate event, I hopped on the chance to spend more time with this amazing person I am fortunate enough to call my good friend. Corinna has a heart of gold. She is literally one of the sweetest, kindest and funniest individuals I have ever met.

During our shoot, we danced, laughed and had the absolute time of our lives! We were both in awe over how both of our lives had ended up exceeding all of our childhood dreams. Never would we have imagined that I would become a boudoir photographer, and, hello?…who would have known she would go on to become Playboy’s Playmate of the Year?

Corinna has very kindly agreed to be one of our models for the upcoming Sexy Soirée Boudoir Workshop that Robert and I are teaching next month! This is actually a really big deal, as there is no way she would have done this if she were not such a great friend to me…it’s on her birthday, for crying out loud! She is such a good sport! One of our other fabulous Fighting Foxes will be modeling for us too. She is also a knockout, as you can see right here.

I love you Corinna! We are going to have so much fun again! It will be just like old times like the picture below! Hmm…on second thought, it will be even better! xoxo

Studio Session | Las Vegas Beauty & Boudoir Photography

I finally bought furniture for the studio space. It took me forever to find a set that was just perfect for this, but I stumbled upon the prettiest furniture over the weekend and knew I had to get it. I just had to test it out, so I enlisted my beautiful childhood friend from the Fighting Foxes (our small girls club in the 2nd grade). She and I had been wanting to shoot together forever so this was the perfect excuse to just make it happen! And, she was such a great sport! Especially for being game for a before picture! She looks AMAZING though even without her hair and makeup done. Lucky girl!

Because of our need to occasionally test ideas out like this, we will be announcing a search for a Haute Shots Spokesmodel soon. Stay tuned for the details.

Bridal Boudoir | Las Vegas Boudoir Photography

I was just fondly reminiscing about one of my bridal boudoir clients from 2011 and thought I’d share a couple of her detail shots. I am in love with her veil! But I adored her even more! She was a photography teacher, which made her session even more fun!

Shared with permission from the lovely bride.

What’s Sexy Now | Las Vegas Beauty & Boudoir Photography

It’s been awhile since I posted a What’s Sexy Now installment. I thought posting one now would be a great way to ring in the New Year! This one features a very special guest, someone I have admired for some time now for her amazing fashion sense as well as her mad writing skills…the lovely, Laura Coronado.

What makes a woman sexy?
I think self-love makes a woman sexy. A woman who loves herself unconditionally – body and soul – is a woman who exudes sex appeal. And frankly, a woman who loves herself is easy to fall in love with. Confidence, strength, resilience and self-belief also make a woman sexy, but these things all stem from self-love.

Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Right now I think Sofia Vergara is the sexiest woman on earth. She laughs and smiles a lot. You can tell she is loving her life, and that’s super sexy. I also think Rita Moreno and Sophia Loren from the 1960s era were extremely sexy. Voluptuous with dark exotic features, that’s what I want to look like as a woman.

Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
The 1980s movie “Two Moon Junction” always sets me on fire. The tale of a pristine southern belle falling for a muscular, rugged, manly man who drives a rig and works at carnival and gets her to explore her passions and desires just really appeals to me. It’s like a naughty fairytale. Forbidden lust is hot.

Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
The song “Say Goodbye” by Dave Matthews never fails to get me in the mood. Again, the theme is forbidden lust. The song is about platonic friends who are attracted to each other allowing themselves one night of pleasure together and saying goodbye in the morning, sharing a sexy secret forever. It’s a fantasy I’d love to act out with my hubby. (Grabbing my bucket list now!)

Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
Two words: Tom Ford! And I mean all of it – cosmetics, accessories, fragrance and the women’s fashion. The man is a magician, and everything he does for women is done with the intention of making us feel sexy. He succeeds at that, too!

Sexy destination:
This may sound crazy, but for me, New Orleans is one great town for getting down. I don’t know if it’s the swamp humidity in the air, or the sensual jazz music, or the hurricane cocktail drinks – or all of it combined together! But New Orleans puts me in a really sexy mood.

What makes you feel sexy?
There are three things I do to make me feel sexy, and each is done to put focus on what I think are my three best physical attributes. One, because I have green eyes, I apply my eyeliner as perfectly as possible and wear loads of mascara. This puts extra emphasis on my eyes. My husband loves that and I feel like a sex kitten. Two, I’m luckily, naturally endowed. And I am not shy about showing off the girls. I love revealing a bit of cleavage. It makes me feel very womanly. Lastly, I have a derriere that complements my bust line. So I love to shake my hips while dancing, or jut a hip out while standing or innocently bend over. My husband loves my round behind, and when we’re out together and he rests his hand on the area where my butt protrudes from my lower back, I feel like he’s claiming ownership of it, and that makes me feel irresistible and desirable.

About Laura Coronado:
Laura Coronado is a Las Vegas fashion blogger with her own website at www.lollieshopping.com, where she blogs about fashion, style, shopping and beauty. She loves designer bargains and writes about the latest in sales and Vegas retail news for the magazine Vegas Seven. She is also a contributing writer for Vegas Rated magazine and for the website Inspiratoblogs.com. Coronado has been married for 18 years to that game guide author guy Dan Birlew.

For the Girls | Las Vegas Boudoir

This post is specifically for the ladies. I normally shoot my boudoir sessions with the end audience in my mind…the husband. My aim for that is moody, dramatic and super sexy. For this shoot, though, the audience was the gorgeous gal pictured here, so I wanted to go extra feminine with these and utilized the luscious light. Hope you all enjoy these!
