Girls Just Want To Have Fun | Las Vegas Boudoir
For Mrs. S’s second shoot with me, I brought some fun props for her to play with…2 dozen coral roses, a bag of lollipops, a silver multi-strand necklace, butterfly ring, and a Haute Shots tank top as seen here. And, what fun it was! I couldn’t have asked for a better subject, as she was game for all of my ideas and she brought the cutest outfits too!
I can’t wait to begin formulating ideas for the next time Mrs. S! Love you lots! Thank you for giving me permission to share your images here.

My workshop for Photographers
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!

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!

My Favorite Kind of Client | Las Vegas Boudoir
You know you are behind on blogging when you get a repeat client that tells you they still haven’t seen their images on your blog that you took almost a year ago! Oh my, I am behind! Honestly, when I am super busy with shoots and orders, I have a tendency to not update the blog as much as I should and because it’s been such a busy year, I still have tons of shoots to blog!
So, in honor of my repeat client who reminded me of this, here are Mrs. L’s beautiful images from her boudoir session with me last January. Mrs. L has to be every man’s dream girl. She has the face of an angel and a body that just doesn’t quit! Her beauty doesn’t stop on the outside either, it just radiates from within. She is just as sweet as can be!
When I received an email from Mrs. L in response to our Holiday Special saying she wanted in on it, I was absolutely thrilled! My gorgeous Montana client was coming back to do another shoot with me! I love repeat clients and always hope that all of my girls will do yearly shoots with me, if anything, just to get to hang out again and celebrate them all over again! This is exactly why we are going to be offering studio specials, in fact! I can’t wait to show you Mrs. L’s images from her second session! I’ll try my best to show them before a whole year has passed, I promise!
Love you Mrs. L! You are the BEST!

Date Night in Vegas | Las Vegas Boudoir
One of the secrets to maintaining a sizzling romance in a relationship is to continue wining and dining one another, well after the courting phase is over. Take the time to do sexy and exciting things (like a boudoir shoot…hint hint…hehe). Well, this particular couple definitely know how to keep things exciting, that’s for sure! Mr. & Mrs. A came to Vegas and had quite a date night lined up! They had second row tickets to the Manny Pacquiao Fight!
Mrs. A likes taking her time getting ready for the evening. Don’t all girls? She leisurely tries all of her outfits on, from her lingerie to her dresses, while Mr A waits patiently for her, as always. She looks absolutely gorgeous and daydreams about the fun the two of them will have later on in the evening.
Finally, Mrs. A is ready for their night out and Mr. A is waiting for her with champagne. Before they head out to the fight, they toast to their amazing trip so far together and hopefully an even better evening later. Mr. A can’t help but admire how beautiful his wife is. What a lucky guy he is going to be with her on his arm all night!
And back at the hotel later…..
These two hotties were such an amazing couple to shoot! Thank you Mr. and Mrs A for being so incredibly cool! I hope we get to work together again one day soon! And, thank you so much for allowing me to share these gorgeous images of you two!

French Model | Las Vegas Boudoir
I received an email about a month ago from a beautiful model in France. She found me on a site that brings models and photographers together for trade shoots and she asked if I would be interested in doing a ‘trade’ session together during her upcoming vacation in Vegas. I wanted to say yes immediately. She was a stunning beauty…and from France? Oh yes, I was smitten! But, I had to pause and really consider this.
See, the thing is, I don’t shoot models. I photograph real women with real bodies, real insecurities and most who aren’t used to being in front of a camera – not to mention being in front of a camera wearing nothing but lingerie! This is where my heart lies, with these women. I find such satisfaction in coaching them into blossoming into a supermodel for during their photo sessions! It’s a transformation that I am thrilled by each and every time I witness it.
With that being said though, I decided to do the session. I wanted to see firsthand what other boudoir photographers are experiencing regularly by shooting models for their portfolios and blogs. And I wanted to do a shoot that was just for my team and me. We were able to just play and style her to our liking. So fun!
So, will I do a model shoot again? Sure! It was a blast! And it gave my team the creative boost we needed. But, I will always let you all know that it is a model when I post images from shoots like that. I’m so busy with my super fabulous clients though that I probably won’t be able to do another shoot like this for another year or so. Boo!
By the way, if you are a client interested in getting more creative with your own session, I highly encourage you to consider hiring Kat and Whitney (or Rachel) of Hera Beauty to stay on and do different hair and makeup looks throughout the duration of your boudoir session. This is especially nice for the Elite sessions.

Classic Bride | Las Vegas Boudoir
While in Las Vegas for her bachelorette party, Mrs. K snuck away from the party and had a bridal boudoir session with me. I was stunned by her classic beauty…her creamy porcelain skin, dark hair and mysterious brown eyes. I knew she would photograph so nicely. The outfit she chose to wear in these photos below is one of my all-time favorites! So classy but still incredibly sexy. It suited her personality so well!
Thank you Mrs. K for a fabulous boudoir session! And thank you for allowing me to share your images here.

Southern Belle | Las Vegas Boudoir
Another Texas gal? Why, yes! I had a surge of Texas beauties come in for shoots awhile back and I am just now almost finishing up blogging all of them. I’ve been swamped, what can I say? But I won’t withhold this one from you any longer….
Mrs L was yet another referral from another client of mine who came from Texas! I love my Texas girls! She decided to do her boudoir session while her husband was busy at a convention. He had no clue whatsoever what she was up to! We had so much fun! And I was so impressed with how good she was at following direction with posing and expressions. Like I always say, it really does take two to tango and the more you give, the more you get out of the whole process. And, wow, just look at her images! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks Mrs L for letting me spend the afternoon with you while your husband was busy with his convention. And, as always thank you for giving me permission to share these images here.

More Love for Texas | Las Vegas Boudoir
Mrs C was another one of my clients who rushed in from Texas for a boudoir session. She came as a referral from another favorite Texas client of mine and I just knew she would be a blast to work with! She was an absolute knock out and a complete pleasure to photograph.
Thank you Mrs C for such a fabulous boudoir session! I enjoyed getting to know you and work with you! And thank you for allowing me to share these images! You are an absolute dream!

Heart and Soul | Las Vegas Boudoir
Mrs. R’s husband contacted me upon planning their trip to Las Vegas to inquire about me doing a boudoir session for his lovely wife. He told me how beautiful she was and how she had been through so much in her life, including heart surgery, which left her with scars that she was very self conscious of. I assured him that a boudoir session was just the lift for her spirit that she probably needed and couldn’t wait to work with this special lady!
When I met Mrs R I knew she had come into my life for a reason. She came at a particular time when I was actually quite worried about my own heart health. Turns out it was stress related, thankfully, but I wouldn’t have been brave enough to find out if it hadn’t been for her. Mrs. R made quite an impression on me! Her strength and courage and kindness were just incredible and I am so grateful to have been privileged enough to have met her.
We had so much fun with her photo session! Thank you for everything Mrs. R! And thank you to Mr. R for finding me and arranging the whole thing! You two are absolute angels! xoxo

Mystery Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
A sense of mystery always adds appeal to boudoir photos, so I was definitely up to the challenge of creating some anonymous type shots for the stunning Mrs. D. I couldn’t have asked for better circumstances for a photo shoot. Not only was she absolutely gorgeous, she was so graceful with her movements, she had beautiful expressions, she brought the most fabulous attire and she had the most amazing suite to shoot in!
Thank you Mrs D for such a great time and a special thank you to both you and your husband for giving me permission to share these gorgeous images!

Mrs. G was an absolute doll! She was yet another one of those gals who entertained us nonstop with her incredible stories. She had us giggling while she was being pampered while having her hair and makeup done but once the camera was on her, she turned into a sultry vixen. I was so impressed by her!
Thank you Mrs G for being so much fun and for allowing me to share your images!

Ms. F was just as sweet as could be and as gorgeous as they come! I was surprised by her energy, after an 8 hour drive to get to the shoot and appreciated her enthusiasm as a willing partner in making pretty pictures together. She was such a joy to photograph!
Thank you Ms F for such an enjoyable boudoir session! You were absolutely delightful and I LOVE your images! And, thank you for giving me permission to share them here.

Whole Lotta Love | Las Vegas Boudoir
Elegant and refined. Stunningly beautiful with the longest legs, sultry blonde hair, pretty blue eyes and a body that just won’t quit. She’s a rocker at heart with wild blood running through her veins. Her grandmother was a burlesque dancer! Isn’t that the coolest?! That must be where she gets her beauty and grace. She loves bands like Led Zeppelin and is an avid reader and is also a fan of my favorite lingerie brand Agent Provocateur!
Obviously, I loved this girl right from the beginning when we began plotting and planning her shoot. One of my favorite parts of each shoot is getting to know my clients and learning what makes them tick. I love getting to know what makes each of you unique and special. She was no exception. She was witty and articulate and ended up being so much fun!
Thank you to Ms. S, a past client of mine for sending this stunner my way! You both are such class acts! xoxo

Vegas Vacation | Las Vegas Boudoir
Mrs E contacted me to do a boudoir shoot when she was in the planning stages of the very first vacation that she and her husband had ever been able to take together. They were head over heels in love with each other and a real wedding and honeymoon just wasn’t in their plans years ago so they had every intention of really living it up while in Las Vegas. Mrs. E told me, “The Haute Shots boudoir session was the one thing I REALLY wanted to do. Forget gambling!” My kind of girl! I knew we were going to have a splendid time getting to know each other during her time with me. And, to honor the deep bond between her and her husband, I let her awesome hubby come up at the end of her session for a few shots together. I’m such a sucker for true love!
Thanks Mrs. E for a wonderful session! I had the best time with you! And thank you for giving me permission to share your images.

Caretaker | Las Vegas Boudoir
Women are accustomed to looking after so many others in our lives, as it’s in our nature to be nurturing, but Ms. W is exceptionally caring. I was so impressed with her and thrilled that there are people in our world like her who go above and beyond to help others in need. She has a heart of gold and is as sweet (and pretty!) as can be. I’m happy she took the time to do something caring for herself and the love in her life by doing a boudoir session with me!
Thank you Ms. W for being such an inspiration and for allowing me to share these images here! xoxo
And thanks to Hera Beauty for hair and makeup.
