The Full Package | Las Vegas Boudoir
I was so impressed by Mrs F. She is the ultimate full package - an absolute beauty, has the sweetest personality and is as smart as can be! She carried herself with such grace too! She also has a loving husband who came with her to meet me before sending her off to her shoot. (By the way, this is always ok and totally understandable. I am more than happy to meet your loved ones if it puts their minds at ease). As we walked towards the suite for the shoot, I noticed that Mrs F was ‘jingling’. Once in the room, she proceeded to pull out a Mardi Gras mask with little bells on it, hence the ‘jingling’. Her husband had suggested that they bring something of theirs to use in the backdrop for some of her pictures. What a great idea!
Thank you Mrs F for a great photo session and for allowing me to share your beautiful images. You rock!

The Girl’s Got Shoes | Las Vegas Boudoir
What girl doesn’t have a serious love affair with gorgeous shoes? I think women are so lucky that we get to adorn our feet with such lovely things. Guys are not as fortunate in this area for sure, although they do hold comfort over us!
Mrs P came to her shoot with the coolest props..a gorgeous red boa and an amazing fur blanket that she travelled across the states with! But what I loved even more was her insanely beautiful collection of shoes! And I instantly fell in love with her amazing personality! She was quite a looker, that’s for sure, but has a way about her that puts everyone at ease and ensures that all around her are having a grand time! I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with this pretty lady! Hope to do another fun shoot with her on one of her future trips back to Vegas! So fun!

Congratulations! | Las Vegas Boudoir
Miss O was an absolute riot - she had wanted to wait for her boyfriend’s birthday to show him her boudoir images from her photo session with me but caved in and let him see her sneak peeks the instant I emailed them to her. The very next day or so he proposed to her! I would like to think these photos played a small part in her adoring boyfriend putting a gorgeous ring on her finger, but the truth is, these two are just head over heels for one another! Did I mention how gorgeous the ring is? Oh my goodness, I absolutely swooned when I saw it. Miss O, you are so deserving of the all the happiness coming your way. I am beyond ecstatic for both of you!
Isn’t Miss O stunning? By the way, some of you may recognize Miss O (it’s Lavey!) from some of your shoots. She fills in for Kat doing makeup on occasion. She is a phenomenal celebrity makeup artist. I always giggle when a client tells her they want their makeup to look like Kim Kardashian’s because LaVey has done makeup for the Kardashian’s on several occasions when they are in Vegas!

Dream Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
With the face of an angel and a body that just doesn’t stop, Miss C’s boudoir session was smokin’ hot! She was so at ease in her own skin and I think it shows in her pics, don’t you? Thanks Miss C for a fun and fabulous shoot! You rock!
On another exciting note, this was a brand new venue for me, one I hope to be doing lots more boudoir shoots at! It is called Rumor and it’s a boutique style hotel that Vegas has needed for a long time! Super stylish, with lots of personality and a very accommodating staff, this is the place to stay if you are looking for something a little different. It’s a great place for locals to hang out at too, with a cool bar and restaurant (both with delicious menus) and a pool perfect for lounging with a group of friends - this could very well become my home away from home! Watch their Facebook page for lots of upcoming events and specials.

A Very Fashionable Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
Referred by two previous Haute Shots clients (both fabulous gals themselves), the statuesque Mrs. Y decided to do a boudoir shoot after most of her gorgeous tattoo had been completed. I was inspired the second I saw the amazing array of colors in it. But what inspired me even more were her outfit selections! Oh my goodness, were they ever sexy….and creative! I loved how she played with the colors in one of them (blue and orange) - simply gorgeous!
Thank you so much Mrs Y for being such a cool subject! You were a photographers dream to photograph - from your beautiful bone structure and perfect skin to your ease and enthusiasm with posing. You really went for ‘it’ and I appreciated that! And, thank you so much for letting me share your images.

Boudoir Styling Idea | Las Vegas Boudoir Photographer
Awhile back I was browsing the Kiki De Montparnasse website and found the most amazing little outfit for a boudoir session….a Garter Tank! Isn’t this the coolest thing ever? Pair it with sexy panties, fishnet stockings and a multi-strand necklace to give it an extra ‘edge’.
Well, imagine my excitement when my boudoir client came in with that exact outfit yesterday! I was even more inspired when she told me her idea for that ‘look’….she wanted to wet the tank for the photos! We got shots of her in the bathtub pouring water out of a vessel onto herself. And, the pictures look AMAZING! I so wish I could share them! I promised to keep them private for her and her hubby-to-be though…sorry girls! But we could always recreate this look at any time if any of you are interested!
Garter Tank is also available at ShopBop.
Another take on the ‘tank look’ could be pairing a regular tank top (knotted in front or back) with these amazing bottoms!
So many fun ideas! Just think outside of the box a little. Afterall, you want to add a little fantasy to at least one of your looks for your photos.

Lingerie Resources | Las Vegas Boudoir Photography
I get lots of inquiries regarding good sites to shop for lingerie from and while I keep quite a few sites listed on the side of the blog (to the right), I wanted to list my absolute favorites on this post for you now. While some of these are more expensive than, let’s say, Victoria’s Secret, or less accessible (as some are Europe based companies), you can always use these as examples in finding similar, more affordable options when you go on your search for the perfect attire for your shoot.
Hope you enjoy browsing these amazing sites!

Wish List Wednesday
This week I have lots of home decor items on my wish-list.
First up is an office chair I have been lusting over for years. I love the shape of these, but wonder if they are comfortable enough for someone who spends hours upon hours at their desk. If any of you own a chair similar to this, I would love to hear your opinion on the comfort of them.
Yesterday I stumbled upon this living room display for Z Gallerie. I thought it was decadently beautiful. I am normally drawn to white furniture or something like this (a neutral gray) where you can add pops of color to the room with artwork and accents.
I have come to the conclusion that my all-time favorite kitchen and bathroom countertop material is Carrara Marble. Michelangelo used this type of marble for his famous David statue. I am totally obsessed with it right now. What is your favorite countertop surface?

Okay, enough day-dreaming! Back to work for me! Hope you all are having a fabulous Wednesday!
I would love to hear what’s on your wish-list right now!

Shooting a Shooter - Las Vegas Boudoir
In the time leading up to WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Professionals International) conference last month I had quite a few inquiries from other boudoir photographers who were going to be in town and wanted to get a boudoir session from me for themselves. Unfortunately I had to turn away all but one pretty lady due to my crazy schedule that week. I felt so bad about not being able to do all of the shoots but am grateful for the opportunity to have done at least one shoot for another photographer.
I have to admit I was nervous as all get out (then again, I’m always nervous about EVERYTHING…lol)! When shooting for another photographer, you know you are dealing with a person who has a highly trained eye so the pressure to deliver perfection is even stronger. But, Mrs T walked in and put my nerves at ease with her charming personality, fun ideas for her shoot and her absolute beauty. It ended up being one of the funnest shoots ever! Something about her reminded me of Kate Beckinsale…she is a real looker! And the girl knew how to pose!
Thank you Mrs. T for a fabulous time! Looking forward to next year when we can do it again!

What’s Sexy Now? Guest 1 - Las Vegas Boudoir
Haute Shots is proud to be starting a new blog series called, What’s Sexy Now featuring smart, fashionable, successful & fabulous women giving their thoughts on what makes a woman sexy and sharing some of their favorite sexy things from films to fashion.
I wanted to kick the series off with the lovely Alison Rubke of the all-too-fabulous blog, Frou Frou Fashionista and owner of one of the most exquisite lingerie boutiques in the US, Faire Frou Frou, (Faire Frou Frou means ‘to show off’ in French - too cute!). She has impeccable taste and I am so happy that she is sharing some of her insights with us all here. And in case you missed Alison’s prior guest spot on Haute Shots, you can find her past post here.
Without further ado, here are Alison’s answers and imagery that she finds sexy:
- What makes a woman sexy?
- Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
- Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
- Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
- Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
- Sexy destination:
- What makes you feel sexy?
A woman is sexy when she has a positive attitude, a sweet charm, class, confidence and intelligence. Those qualities make a woman beautiful.
When listing the sexy qualities in a woman I was thinking of Sarah Jessica Parker…something about her is just so cool. I love her personality! Or even someone like Grace Kelly…such a beauty with a bit of mystery.
Hmm, sexy film or book? Does Twilight count (LOL!)…I read quite a bit, but nothing too sexy. To be honest, I’m more of a romantic comedy personality. So movies like “Something’s Gotta Give†and “You’ve Got Mail†are my favorites.
Sexy mood music is definitely most R&B music. From “Sexual Healing†Marvin Gaye to “Make Love to You†by Boyz to Men to “Get Off†by Prince to “Nasty Boy†by Christina Aguilera…oh my goodness, there are so many good ones! However, in our lingerie boutique we play a lot of flirty music from Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe which is provocative in a fun way.
The ultimate sexy item is thigh high/stockings with a garter & high heels (Louboutins of course!). Being a lingerie boutique owner, I understand the importance of lingerie boosting your mood. Some incredibly hot designers right now are Lascivious and Damaris…both are tastefully daring! When you see someone like Dita von Teese perform and use her stockings as a prop, you really get an idea of how sexy lingerie can be. On a completely different note, I find black & white photography very sexy…just take a look at anything by Ellen von Unwerth and you will understand!
I think a sexy destination is a place that is visually stimulating with a lot of rich history and beautiful architecture. Places like Paris, London, Vienna and Amsterdam come to mind.
The boost of confidence certainly comes from creating a good presentation of myself. From a light perfume to a darling bra to pretty jewels and accessories. I really enjoy developing my style and really find joy in fashion. I enjoy finding ways to work lingerie into my outerwear, whether it’s pretty stockings or a statement bra with pretty straps, making these looks work are certainly morale boosters.

Blushing Bride-To-Be - Las Vegas Boudoir
Miss H came to me from Northern California while she was in Vegas preparing for her upcoming wedding. She decided to do her shoot at 8 in the morning, a hard time to feel ones sexiest, but she was amazing at that hour! The camera absolutely loved her (just look those incredible eyes!) and I had a blast starting my day with this beauty! Thank you Miss H for a great boudoir session! And congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I am sooo excited for you!

Haute Shots Products - Las Vegas Boudoir
Sorry I haven’t been posting on the blog lately. I’ve been super busy with lots of shoots and tons of orders as well as my dog Mazzy’s surgery (she had a lump removed from the top of her head….I was a bigger baby than she was!). I also have been working on a lot of images that I don’t have permission to display, which made me want to remind everyone that all of the images on my website & blog are ONLY used with my clients permission. I have my clients fill out a form at the time of their session stating what they are comfortable with as far as usage of their images goes.
Because a lot of my clients have hubby’s that travel a lot I decided to create something my girls can tuck inside their suitcases to remind the guys of the gorgeous gal awaiting their return. I thought this mini-accordian style book would be perfect for this. It is 3×3 inches of pure hauteness! You can choose from the red or black covers with magnetic closure.
And, for the guys who want to gift their gal with boudoir, I now have gift certificates! Email me for more information.
Haute Shots is proud to be donating to an upcoming charity, so I made a little promo book so the guests can learn what a fabulous experience a boudoir session is with my team.

Wednesday Wish List | Las Vegas Boudoir
Joe and I are in a race to buy a house by summertime. We have been looking and putting offers on homes since last summer/fall and keep getting beaten by investors with cash offers. I am seriously beginning to think that homes aren’t even being sold to real people who want to actually live in them. Neighborhoods in Vegas are rapidly being bought up and turned into rentals only. Not sure what that does to the value of a neighborhood, but surely it couldn’t be good. It definitely doesn’t sit well with us and we are losing hope more each day. Our dream was to have a house with a pool by summer so we could entertain friends & family.
This leads me to my Wednesday Wish List. On it this week, a house by my favorite architect Richard Neutra, a snazzy outdoor seating set from West Elm and a mini-vacation to somewhere beachy. We are considering a short vacay to either San Diego or Newport Beach!
What are you wishing for this week?

Mrs H came for her session while visiting Vegas all the way from Canada! It just so happens that she was the first of 2 sessions with girls from Canada that day! Mrs H was so much fun though! Her peppy spirit, beautiful eyes and gorgeous smile totally won me over! Here’s what she had to say about her sneak peeks:
“SCREAM!!!!!!!!! That’s me screaming in excitement!!! I totally love the teasers, (and they are teasers for sure) my husband loved them! I can’t wait to see all of them. Pat on the back to you and your team - great job. You are a wonderful photographer and a great presence to be around. Thank you so much.” ~Mrs H
I loved how she wore a cute shorts jumper as one of her outfits. It will give her more usage from her photographs that way! While she may not want to show everyone the pics of her in lingerie, she can certainly share the other pics on facebook etc. Smart girl!

Haute Shots Happenings
I’ve been a busy, busy girl lately. Between doing shoots, processing lots of lovely images, fulfilling lots & lots of orders (with so many more to still finish), setting up a new Gallery for proofing & ordering images, to analyzing my marketing & considering new packages to offer…it’s been crazy over here!
I am also organizing an event to celebrate the first anniversary of Haute Shots! And, of course, the AIDS Walk…both in April. Watch for more regular events too. I truly consider all of YOU as part of Haute Shots (it’s not just about the photographer or the photography) and hope to carry these amazing relationships into the future!
I did get to have a little fun this past weekend, finally. Thanks to Fiji Water, Joe and I got to see the band Jet (LOVE them!) perform at Rock & Roll Wine held at the gorgeous pool at Caesar’s Palace! Here’s a silly pic of me with the band (below). We were all supposed to do something ‘ridiculously funny’ for the picture. While I admit, I look absolutely ridiculous (I mean, come on, could I possibly look like more of a dork?), I don’t think any of us were very creative with this at all! Well, Cam (on the left) gave it a good try at least. They put on one heck of a great performance for their show though. So fun!

Haute Stuff | Las Vegas Boudoir
Remember the Valentine’s Day contest we had for the single ladies last month? Well, here is our lovely winner, Ms. F. Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? Remember guys, she’s single! But not for long, I’m sure!
Here’s what Ms. F had to say about her experience:
I know it takes time to get used to someplace new, since I have only been in Vegas since January. The problem is that I am not getting used to it here. Winning the contest with Haute Shots helped ease that. I felt comfortable and like my old self. (My old self is pre January) When I found out I won, I had something marvelous to look forward to. When I scheduled the date for the shoot, I had something else to look forward to. When I picked out my outfits, it was something else fun to look forward to.
Then the day of the shoot arrived and I couldn’t concentrate at work. I was nervous. Very. Nervous. I thought to myself, “I am about to disrobe in front of a stranger! Help!” I swallowed that down and headed to the shoot. I felt at ease as soon as I met Stacie. She was wrapping up a shoot for another client but was still attentive to both of us. (I have since then bought 2 head bands from the other client
)
I sat with Kat and Whitney from Hera Beauty and they transformed me in what felt like no time at all. They are magicians! Time does fly when you are having fun. During the shoot, I was not a single iota of nervous or self conscious. It was great. I know everyone’s testimonial says that but until you book a shoot and do it yourself you won’t know.
Overall, winning the contest has been a brilliant bright spot in my short time here. Thank you Haute Shots for making a good night for me turn into a month or so of giddiness. ~Ms. F
