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.

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.

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!

30 Second Boudoir Sessions | Las Vegas Boudoir
The Grand Opening was a smashing success! Thank you to everyone who came out and took part in it with us! We had stations set up where our guests could get tinsel strands in their hair, glitter nails, and of course, 30 second boudoir sessions, fully clothed, of course! Here are a few highlights from those quickie 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

Featured in New Boudoir Book | For Photographers
So excited and proud to be featured as one of the three top pro boudoir photographers featured in Ed Verosky’s latest book, “Boudoir Photography: The Quick-Start Guide For Professional Photographers”. Ed offers great educational tools for photographers that are reasonably priced and full of value. This book is no exception. He goes into great detail on all subjects pertaining to boudoir and gets other opinions (including mine! woohoo!) on the same subjects too. It’s quite entertaining and educational! Ed is a wealth of knowledge and always so generous in sharing. This is something I adore about him. If you are a budding boudoir photographer, you are sure to find lots of great info in this book and I hope that I helped play a part in that. Thanks for inviting me to share Ed! You rock!
Boudoir photographers, be sure to keep an eye on my blog for more exciting news to be announced at later dates. Woohoo!

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!

Girl Next Door | Las Vegas Boudoir
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.

Southern Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
Really getting back to my Texan roots lately with so many clients flying in from my birth state (Texas) and doing shoots with me! I think there were about 4 Texas beauties within a week and a half! They actually made me miss living there a bit. You girls were all so sweet and fun to be around!
Mrs. B was one of those gorgeous southern girls who came as a referral from yet another client from Texas! She did her boudoir session while her husband was busy during the day with a convention for work. She won me over instantly with her gentle and calming demeanor and it felt like I had known her forever. Super easy to work with, she was a true classic beauty with legs for miles! Yet she was unaffected by her own beauty which I found completely endearing.
Thank you Mrs. B for being an absolute delight to work with! And thank you for giving me permission to share your images here.

A Natural | Las Vegas Boudoir
Beginning to feel a bit more caught up now…yay! So, let’s get this blog ball rolling again, shall we?
Mr. K arranged this shoot for his incredibly gorgeous wife and himself. Yep, we had a couples session even though I had told myself I wasn’t going to do couples sessions anymore. Here’s the thing, he was so incredibly respectful of me as an artist and the whole process that I knew they were legitimately interested in the art of a session and not a cheap thrill. I get lots of inappropriate requests that make me pretty uneasy about the whole thing, but I am so happy I did this one! These two were amazing! Of course, I had to do some shots of Mrs. K by herself too because to me, all of my photo sessions are really about the woman…and what a pretty woman she is, right? So happy I got to play a part in their trip to Vegas!
Hera Beauty and I were so impressed with Mrs. K that we had to pick her brain about her diet and workout routine. She just might have changed our lives! She recommended the Eat-Clean Diet series of books and cookbooks by the inspirational Tosca Reno. We all ran out and began incorporating some of those principles and recipes into our diets. My favorite so far is the Moroccan Chicken and Lentils recipe…yum! Thank you Mrs. K for inspiring my team and I to get healthy!
Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. K for such a rewarding photo session! You two were so awesome! And thank you for allowing me to share these images!

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
Welcome to the latest installment of my What’s Sexy Now series! So proud to have this month’s guest, Alison Wainwright. Alison is a successful female business owner in our fair city of Las Vegas. She is also an activist for animals, which I love about her! 2010 was a big year for Alison as she was named one of the “40 Under 40” (“40 most ambitious, talented, and influential leaders in Las Vegas under the age of 40″), recognized in SEVEN Magazine as ”Best in the City”, and also received Congressional Recognition for “Recognition of Outstanding Contributions to Business in Southern Nevada”. Quite an accomplished gal! I was so happy when she agreed to contribute here!
Please extend a warm welcome to Alison! Hope you enjoy her thoughts on What’s Sexy Now below:
- What makes a woman sexy?
Confidence makes a woman sexy AND beautiful. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who walks into a room and knows what she wants. I have seen women in all shapes and sizes other than what society tells us is sexy and her confidence turns all heads. You can see a woman who feels confident about who she is from across the room. Natural beauty is also sexy, unaltered natural women are more beautiful. A woman can be sexy in sweats, its all about inner beauty.
- Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Nicole Panattoni may not be super famous, but some people know her from America’s Next Top Model and The X Life. Nicole is the wife of Cory Nastazio, pro-BMX rider. I have aways thought Nicole embodies sexy. She is down to earth, has natural beauty, and seems like a very sweet, all American girl. She seems very sweet but she’s on top of her game.
- Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
I thought that the movie “Unfaithful” was sexy. Though the story is about a married couple and the wife being unfaithful (which is not sexy) there was so much passion and love between the characters. Passion is always sexy.
- Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
- Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
High black heels
- Sexy destination:
A quiet restaurant or bar with wine and candlelight always does the job. - What makes you feel sexy?
Compliments are always nice and they will always do the job, but what makes me feel the most sexy is a suit! Wearing a business suit makes me feel confident and beautiful, and always turns heads.
About little about me (Alison):
I am the CEO and President of Las Vegas Mannequins, a Las Vegas based display company which rents and sells mannequins, forms, steamers and hangers in Las Vegas and nationwide. (She is also owner of Las Vegas Wigs!)
Thank you so much for contributing here Alison!

Another Stunning Showstopper Album | Las Vegas Boudoir
Pleased to be able to share with you all images from another one of the albums from my new Showstopper line. This time it’s with a sexy Bremen cover…silver and black reptile leather. So perfect to present to your special guy. It’s not overly feminine and not too masculine either. In my opinion, it’s just right!
This particular album is going to one of my latest muses. She recently did a photo session with me as a gift from her doting husband and she was just as gorgeous as could be. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, that these gifted sessions are always amongst my favorites. Seeing how much the husbands adore their wives enough to want to have their beauty captured for all time with a boudoir session, is always so touching to me. The wives get to be all dolled up and look sexy for a couple of hours while the husband does a little gambling or what not, all the while imagining the pretty pictures that are to come from this. And, afterwards they can hit the town and go on a romantic date. Sounds like perfection to me!
Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. H for allowing me to share these images, but also for entrusting me to take them in the first place! You two are such awesome people and I feel so fortunate to have met you both! xoxo, Stacie
