Talk about stunning! I was blown away by Miss G’s beautiful long hair and pretty long legs! And she was a total sweetheart! Thanks for the fun girly afternoon Miss G! I had a blast hanging out with you!
Miss G reminded me of that song, ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ by Jet:
“Big black (replace with cream) boots,
long brown hair,
she’s so sweet
with her get back stare.”
Oh, how we loved Miss L! She came to us to do a shoot pretty much as a gift for herself (and her boyfriend) and inspired us all by saying that sure she could have waited to do a boudoir session after she lost a couple of lbs but tomorrow is never a guarantee and she wanted to have fun now! Isn’t that the truth? If only we could all live according to that motto, I think we would have much more fulfilling lives! Another thing I loved was that Miss L’s inspiration was Marilyn Monroe! LOVE that! You inspired us all, Miss L, and we had so much fun getting to know you! And, by the way, I’m glad you didn’t wait - I love your curves and think you are just perfect exactly how you are!
Boy, oh boy, did I have a lot of fun with Mrs. S during her boudoir session! This woman had one heck of a great sense of humor and kept me laughing throughout her entire shoot! Thanks to her hubby for arranging this for her while they were briefly in Vegas. I asked Mrs. S what the secret to her happy marriage was and she said, “Always keeping it fresh”. Great tip!
I recently had the pleasure of photographing two fun girls who drove in from out of state to do a boudoir shoot with me. We had such a blast and it honestly felt like a fun little party, which has inspired me to consider offering Boudoir Parties. I am working out the details but am hopeful this will be a hit for girls looking to do something different with their friends…and have gorgeous photos to remember the fun they had!
Anyway, enjoy a few teaser images of these two fabulous ladies. I loved these girls!!!
Hair & makeup by the 2010 WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Award recipients Hera Beauty…Kat & Whitney!
This was a hard one and after narrowing it down to the two best entries, I had my team (Hera Beauty) vote on the nameless entries.
Here is the winning entry:
I love being single because I can decide what I want to do with out checking in with someone. I can pick out my own furniture without compromise. I love being single because I have a great sense of independence. It’s a nice feeling to know I can do things on my own…whether it be fixing a sink or building a playhouse. I love being single because you still have the hope and wonder and magical feelings of good first dates and first kisses….
The reasons I love being single are all the things I hate about being single. I would like to have someone to do things with. I would like to have a place with someone that I can pick out furniture together with. While I know I can do things on my own, I would like to have someone to talk to while I do things other than my son and dogs. I hate being single because of bad first dates, bars, and douche bags that only want to hit it and not take me seriously as a person.
Ultimately, the things I have and accomplish don’t mean as much without someone to share your life with. I mean, the ultimate goal of dating is to find someone to spend time with.
I would like a photo session because it’s just for me. Ive been wanting to do one anyways I’m not getting any younger and would like to commemorate the last year in my 20’s. Who doesn’t want fabulous pictures of themselves? I have never had a romantic Valentine’s Day and would like a gift for myself.
You should pick me because I have been a fan of your work for a while now and think you are amazing. I am hoping flattery gets me everywhere.
I didn’t want to have to get personal but..I am recently divorced. I am a single mom that works full time and goes to school. I miss home, which is Texas. I miss my friends and my old life. I had to move here to be close to my parents so that I could have help raising my son and I have a great job here. I know the people I work with and two other women here and don’t really hang out with them. My closest friends are in Phoenix. I stay home on the weekends. After work, I study then put my son to bed. Then I watch Hulu and surf on the internet. When I do go out, it is to the dog park or somewhere for my son since I feel guilty working all the time. I just need something for me. I am not trying to make you feel sorry for me because I am happy. I know that this is just a phase for adjustment and that better things are in store. It would be nice if this was one them.
This one completely pulled at all of our heart strings and we are happy to offer Lysandra a free boudoir shoot and Whitney of Hera Beauty is also throwing in hair-styling at no charge!!!
Our runner-up Becca was also great and I would like to offer her 10% off of a Ginger shoot with me, as well as a $25 credit toward an album or calendar.
You ladies were all wonderful and I wish you all a very happy Valentine’s Day!
Can’t wait to do your shoot Lysandra!!! Congratulations!
Haute Shots is proud to announce a brand spankin’ new calendar design! While I loved the old calendar that I offered, I couldn’t resist this new one that puts more of the focus on YOUR gorgeous image. It is the perfect way to keep him dreaming of you all year long!
When Mrs A turned to show me the beautiful job Kat and Rachel had just done with her hair and makeup, I nearly fell over. With her angelic face and flowing blonde hair, I thought she looked just like Barbie! She was a lot of fun to photograph! Thanks Mrs A for a great photo session!
Just received the nicest thank you card (above) in the mail today from one of my recent clients. There are just so many things I love about what I do for a living but getting notes like these happens to top the list! Thank you to all of my clients who make me feel like I am making a difference in the lives of women somehow. I am constantly amazed by how fabulous each and every one of you truly are!
I will be away doing a couple of Ginger shoots for the next 2 days. If you need me in the meantime, feel free to email me at info@hauteshots.net and I will get back to you as soon as possible. For new inquiries, please contact me via my contact form at hauteshots.net/contact
She walked through the door wearing a stylish black wrap-around dress and fashionable boots with no makeup, hair unstyled and I was immediately taken aback by her natural beauty. Mrs. A was a statuesque stunner for sure, but was also one of the most genuinely nice and interesting women ever. Her photos (see below) are sure to knock her hubby’s socks off, don’t ya think?
Thank you Mrs. A for a fun session! It was a true pleasure getting to know you during your boudoir session.

P.S. Because of this contest the song below popped into my head and it’s stuck on repeat!
Miss J had just moved to Vegas from San Francisco when she decided to get boudoir pics done as a gift to herself (the best kind of gift, right?). She and I emailed back and forth and spoke on the phone several times and really got to know what she was wanting from her photo session. Miss J had studied the art of burlesque back in San Francisco, which completely fascinated me. She even showed me a couple of moves during her shoot. She was AWESOME! Thanks for a fun afternoon Miss J! You are fabulous!
Miss C took part in our holiday boudoir marathon and really maximized her session. She chose outfits that could stretch into 3 different albums for different occassions. So, she gave her guy a book with her Santa ‘look’ for Christmas, with some more cool ideas to follow. I’ll fill you in once the occassions are over.
Miss C was an absolute pleasure to work with. She knew exactly what she wanted and had some really fun ideas! Definitely hope to get to work with her again!
Whew! I made it through the hectic holidays! What a fun and crazy few months it has been! Thank you to everyone that has made it a success. A special thank you goes out to the lovely ladies who participated in my holiday boudoir marathon. I had such a blast with all of you!
Here’s a peek from Miss J’s sexy session from the marathon:
Hair & Makeup by my girls of Hera Beauty - they ROCK!.
Now it’s time to get caught up and refocus for the upcoming new year.
Boudoir is not just a gift for women to give their husbands, but it’s one of the best gifts a guy can give to his girl! What better way to show her how beautiful you think she is than to have that beauty captured forever with a boudoir photo session…not to mention the primping and pampering from Hera Beauty she will enjoy too!
A Haute Shots Boudoir Photography Session would make the perfect gift this Christmas! Contact me at info@hauteshots.net for more information or to purchase a photo session gift card. Make it a sexy season this year!
Just listen to what this happy husband had to say after giving his wife the gift of boudoir:
“Where do I begin? I contacted Haute Shots originally to set up a boudoir shoot as a surprise for my wife. I had looked at a few other shooters and while their work was good, there just seemed to be a little something extra in your work. I couldn’t put my finger on it then, and a name for it eludes me still. The best way to describe it would be is that their work didn’t seem natural. It seemed to be reaching too far just to be edgy…too industrial, too masculine almost. To use a literary comparison…the other shooters’ shots seemed to be telling a story, but one where the subject is in the first person…very much in your face, very aware of the reader’s presence.
On the other hand, the story you write is third person…we enter the story and observe the subject in their natural state. Your subjects don’t seem to notice we’re out here watching and reading. And in the occasional moments when they do seem aware, the glances are fleeting and playful. Your work is sensual and incredibly feminine. The soft curves, teasing expressions, excellent lighting and clever use of depth of field…it all combines to tell a great story.
From those early conversations to the actual shoot and beyond, you made the work easy and enjoyable. Everything from the suite to your hair/makeup team combined to make the day all about her. With your easy-going manner, quick laughter and ability to put my wife at ease, I knew she would be in good hands after you all kicked me out of the shoot.
Fast forward to now – I just got back from a business trip, and my wife had received the book you prepared for us (by the way…if you don’t upgrade the size of your book, you will greatly regret it). I was eager to get home quickly to see what her “story” would be. The simple black box. The classy and thoughtful packaging touches inside. The black leather book. It was beyond words. Simply put…holy moly schmoly, it rocks! Each turn of the page brought an even bigger smile to my face and a deeper wonderment of my gorgeous wife. In some shots, she knows I’m here looking…in others, I’m watching her enjoy being herself. Her eyes and expressions range from innocent to playful to sultry. Every time I see those eyes (I think you know which picture I mean…), I fall in love all over again.
I always knew my wife was beautiful, but these shots let me know that she’s aware of that beauty. I would daresay the time she spent with you changed the way she sees herself. Thank you. You truly have a gift.”
Thank you to all of the ladies who booked the Holiday Boudoir Marathon. We are going to have so much fun!
The Marathon is now full. If you weren’t able to make this one, I will try to do another marathon in time for Valentine’s Day. Or you could still do a regular, full session anytime.
Miss J had only been living in Vegas for 2 weeks when she did her photo session with me! Not only was she drop-dead gorgeous, but also really, really sweet. I had so much fun hanging out with her! Thanks Miss J, for a great photo session! You rocked!
