Silver Screen Siren | Las Vegas Boudoir
I have been so excited to post these images from my recent shoot with Mrs W. Everything about them just screams glamour to me. We all decided to do the styling for this one a bit different than Mrs W is used to since she has had her boudoir images taken with me before on a prior trip to Vegas. Kat and Whitney of Hera Beauty went with a more retro, Old Hollywood Starlet sort of look with her hair and makeup. Mrs W even brought sexy red shoes for this, quite a departure for her, as she is an avid devotee to black as far as her wardrobe is concerned. And, as always, she was adorned in gorgeous accessories! I think she looks divine, don’t you?
Love you Mrs W! You are an amazing woman!

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!

Couple’s Boudoir | Las Vegas Boudoir
I absolutely LOVE couple’s boudoir sessions! The energy, the seductive glances, the LOVE! Super hot and incredibly exciting to be a part of. I have to imagine it’s one of the funnest things a couple can do together. Seeing each other looking like models from a Maxim Magazine has to be quite a thrill and a way to see each other through fresh eyes!
Here are a few shots from one of my latest couple shoots. This couple (Mr. & Mrs. W) has shot with me before when Mr. W arranged a boudoir session for Mrs W last year and I was thrilled when they said they wanted to do it again! I hope it turns into a yearly tradition! They have become great friends since meeting them at the first photo session and I am continously amazed at what incredible people they are.
These are two of the more posed shots from the session, but my absolute favorites are some of the more candid photos, which I am going to leave private for them…sorry everyone! I will be showing some of Mrs W’s boudoir session soon though!

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!

Buddha Balm | Las Vegas Boudoir
I love getting goodies in the mail! Well, last week I received a sample kit of Buddha Balm products! Yippee! I just had to share it with you girls here because I absolutely adore it and think you might like it too. This lip balm is no joke. It is without a doubt the most effective lip product I think I have ever tried! Buddha Balm is available in an assortment of interesting flavor combinations that you can still subtly taste on your lips hours after applying it. And it keeps my lips hydrated for hours too! I absolutely love this stuff! Thank you Buddha Balm for sending me your product! You now have a life-long fan in me!

Healthy Lifestyles | Las Vegas Boudoir
While on vacation in Hawaii recently I discovered that running can be lots of fun! The scenery there was so breathtaking which helped to take my mind off the challenge of pushing forward and it just felt good to start my day that way. I found I had more energy to sustain me through the rest of the day. So, upon my arrival home to Vegas I decided to give it a shot here too. We have gorgeous trails around my neighborhood and while we typically go walking and biking, I never do these things on my own and definitely never used the trails for jogging. Well, I am really, really enjoying it so far! I typically head out there on Tuesdays and Thursdays very, very early and am using an iphone app called Couch To 5k that has been very helpful in keeping me motivated. The other mornings of the week I have been walking the trails with a friend…soo much fun! I have a Pedometer iPhone app I try to remember to use for that too and can’t believe how many calories it says we are burning from just walking! Can’t wait to eventually get new running shoes and cute tops and shorts to go with my new hobby!
When I become interested in something, I go in head first and become pretty much consumed with passion for it. My work is one such thing (I love it so much I live and breathe it), my family and friends obviously, now walking/jogging and even tea! I just made the switch succesfully from coffee to tea and am absolutely loving it! I fell in love with the store Teavana. The staff will give you quite an education on tea if you ask, and also are very helpful in selecting just the right tea for you.
I definitely think reading Eat, Pray, Love gave me a bit more bravery to make more of an effort to set aside time just for me that’s healthy, yet fun. Soo excited for the movie to open this weekend! Do any of you have plans to go see it?
What are some of the things you are doing just to celebrate you and make you a better, healthier person?

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!

Making Some Needed Changes | Las Vegas Boudoir
My Saturdays are usually reserved for cleaning, running errands & hopefully a little fun but yesterday I decided I needed to do a little blog housekeeping too! For too log it had been bothering me…feeling a tad too cluttered with the sidebar and the tiny text. Well, I finally bit the bullet and did away with the sidebar and changed the font for all text so it’s a little easier on the eyes now. The designer in me is now a much happier girl. I hope you all like this change as much as I do!
Because of the sidebar removal, you will now only be able to access the pages and links that were listed there by clicking the PAGES dropdown menu at the top of the blog (as seen in the screenshot below - click twice for larger view). I created a page full of the links for Lingerie Resources, Recommended Stylists and Bridal Resources called Link Love.I will be adding to the link page a lot!
Hope you enjoy the little face-lift! Happy blogging!

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
This installment of What’s Sexy Now features a great gal most of you should be familiar with by now, Hera Beauty’s makeup extraordinaire, Kat Ludens. Kat gives some great answers here and proves that she not only has an amazing sense of style but also that she knows her music, as some of you have experienced from listening to her cool playlists while she has done your makeup. By the way Kat, #1 Crush is one of MY all-time fav ’sexy’ songs too!
- What makes a woman sexy?
I think passion, self-esteem, and attitude makes a woman sexy. Sexy doesn’t have to be about big boobs or long hair, it’s all about how you feel and carry yourself. I’ve met plenty of women who look gorgeous but are obsessed with their flaws and I’ve met women who look at their flaws and accept and embrace them! Happiness is the key, and a genuine, happy outlook is always much sexier than the constant search for perfection. (And a lot less tiring, I imagine!) Passion is also sexy- no matter what you are passionate about, from shoes to Star Wars, if it’s something you love, keep loving it and let the world know you love it, even if it requires flying your freak flag high! - Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Oh… do I have to just pick one? I love Gwen Stefani for her fashion sense- no one else rocks the platinum blonde pomp, red lips and girl-who-hangs-with-boys attitude. I love Pink for being the badass girl who can ask her man to marry her, looks even hotter with pixie hair, and looks like she’d be fun to have a drink with. And I love Gaga for just putting it all out there, no matter how crazy, no matter what anyone else thinks, and being passionate about her art. - Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
I don’t know if I really have a favorite, but here are a few that stand out to me! Movie: Boxing Helena- a dark and twisty romance about obsession, deception, and amputation. Book: The Lover- another dark and twisty romance about obsession, an impossible affair, and sexual awakening. Book & TV: True Blood. What’s not to love about Vampires, werewolves and a telepathic waitress? Plus, the show casts the hottest actors. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out! - Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
I think I have to go with some classic albums:
Enigma, MCMXC, A.D. - This album’s moody atmosphere, slow beats and breathy whispers make it an instant sexy classic! There is also something about the French lyrics that just ooze sexy. (Check out this key track: Principles of Lust: Sadeness)
Madonna, Erotica - Madonna released this album and her Sex book around the same time, generating major flack from critics and the general public. Personally, I think this is one of her best albums ever and so, so sexy. In fact, I had to buy this album 3 times because it keeps getting taken from my collection! (Key tracks: Erotica, Where Life Begins, Fever)
Also, here’s a couple of sexy songs:
Conjure One: Sleep
Bliss: Kissing
Lamb: Gorecki
Garbage: #1 Crush - Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
Black, patent leather Louboutin heels, nude stilettos, lots of eyeliner, and glossy lips! - Sexy destination:
An overwater bungalow on a white sand beach, or a private cabin in the woods! - What makes you feel sexy?
Being loved and loving back!
Below are some images Kat found online to go along with her answers above (she selected some pretty incredible imagery, didn’t she?):

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.

Just Because | Las Vegas Boudoir
A trend I am seeing more and more of with boudoir is women doing these shoots ‘just because’. These images will be something they can look back on years to come and recall their more youthful days. Sometimes you don’t need much more of a reason to get boudoir photos done. It’s a great way to celebrate you and how beautiful you truly are!
Such is the case with Ms. B. She has a birthday approaching and what better way to celebrate it than by commemorating her fabulousness with a boudoir session? And, was she ever fabulous! With such a fun personality & a true sparkle in her eye, she set her nerves aside, put on some cute outfits and completely shined for my camera! Loved her cute tattoos too!
Thank you Ms. B for letting me capture your beauty and for allowing me to share your images here.

Boudoir Style: Luxe Look For Less | Las Vegas Boudoir
One of my clients recently brought to her shoot the most stunning corset from Agent Provocateur for one of her ‘looks’ that I wanted to share with you here. Unfortunately I can’t show the images I took of her in it out of respect for her privacy (she opted to keep her photos to herself on her model release form). But, I found it on the Agent Provocateur website so you can see for yourself! It photographs beautifully. At $390 it’s a bit pricey for a lot of us women, but I found a very similar one on the Victoria’s Secret website for $58 (available in black, red & pink - I personally prefer the black one), in case you want something like this for your own boudoir shoot. Corsets are perfect for almost every body shape, but especially if your tummy is a problem area that you would like to diminish rather than highlight in your photos.
Happy shopping!

Haute Shots Testimonial | Las Vegas Boudoir
I swear I have the best job in the whole wide world! Never in my wildest dreams while growing up would I have imagined that I would be introduced to so many incredible women through my profession and that I would get to play a small part in helping them to see the beauty that resides in each and every one of them. For this, I am eternally grateful. And so thankful to each of you for putting your confidence in me and trusting me with taking these special photographs for you and your significant others. You all rock!
Here is an email I received recently from one of my fabulous clients:
“I have been wanting to do a boudoir shoot for years. Always a little self-conscious and nervous, I kept putting it off and putting it off. Then my 30th birthday rolled around and I thought what a great way to commemorative this new decade. And it was! Stacie does such an amazing job not only making you comfortable, but also making you feel beautiful, feminine and confident. By the end of the shoot I felt glamorous, gorgeous and so proud that I let my “inner supermodel” out. We had a blast. And then I actually saw the images… they were more stunning, sexy and fun than anything I could have imagined! I have told all my friends that this is something they must do for themselves, it’s an incredible experience!”
Thank you Ms. L for being such a doll! I wish I could share your images to show off what an absolute goddess you are but I totally understand and respect your privacy and appreciate you allowing me to share this sweet testimonial.

Back from Vacation and Ready to Rock More Shoots | Vegas Boudoir
Wow, what an amazing vacation in Kauai! If you are looking for an incredibly beautiful destination ripe with adventures, Kauai is the place to go! Some of the highlights:
Seeing the Napali Coastline via the Holo Holo Charters catamaran.
This was by far the greatest adventure of our trip to Kauai!
We decided to do the Sunset Cruise to see the beautiful Napali Coastline and were not disappointed with it’s beauty….totally awe-inspiring.
I actually had envisioned that this would be a mellow boat ride, and even contemplated wearing a dress. I am so glad I decided to go more casual, because the ride was actually pretty rough and everyone was blasted with the sea salt spray….especially those who opted to sit outside.
This was one heck of an amazing experience. The crew was really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, the food was good, the drinks were plentiful, the view spectacular and the ride that terrified me at first ended up being a LOT of fun!
Thanks Holo Holo guys for such an amazing time!

The Beautiful McBride Botanical Gardens:
This (McBryde Garden) was not what I expected at all! But, I am happy to say, that I very much enjoyed it anyway.
I had imagined we would be in a smallish garden of well-organized flowers and trees, like other botanical gardens I have been to. But my first inkling that this was going to be different was when we had to board a tram to get to it. But then I had a slight panic attack when we rounded a corner on the tram and I noticed we were on a very narrow trail with a cliff on one side of us…only to be quickly followed by a cliff on both sides! Gasp! I just tried to focus on the beauty surrounding me and it worked thankfully.
Once we were dropped off we quickly tried to make our way around the massive garden, which felt more like a forest to me. My favorite part was on the way back in the tram when our guide pointed out where they filmed a scene for Pirates of the Caribbean 4 just two weeks prior. Dang it, I missed seeing Johnny Depp?!
• • • • • • •
Of course the beaches were incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time there reading and taking in the beauty surrounding me. I brought a few business related books but couldn’t put ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ down long enough to entertain the others. Oh my goodness, have you read Eat, Pray, Love? It’s such a fantastic read for any woman. If you haven’t read it yet, hurry and pick up a copy before the movie comes out on August 13th!
Another favorite activity was running along the trails next to the beach in the mornings with Joe’s daughter Brittany. Hoping to make that a habit on the pretty trails near where I live.
And, if you go to Kauai be sure to visit one of the Farmer’s Markets! We found lots of locally grown goodies there.
As for restaurants, my favorite was Josselin’s Tapas Bar & Grill and also Roy’s. The markets have some pretty incredible Poké too! Yumm!
Are you taking a vaction this summer or have you already had a get-away? If so, where are you going?
Here are some random pics from the trip (click thumbnails twice for full sized images):
And, now that I am rested and recharged, I am ready to start rocking out those boudoir shoots and orders again! If you are thinking of doing a boudoir session as a holiday gift in December, please consider booking your shoot early. August would be a great month to beat the holiday rush!

Boudoir-Style Art throughout the Ages | Las Vegas Boudoir Photography
Boudoir as an artform is nothing new really. In fact, it’s always been around, it just gets a more modernized facelift every once in awhile. Throughout history we can see it in famous old paintings, early photographs, etc. The biggest difference with boudoir between now and then though besides modernization, is it has been made more affordable in recent years for the everyday woman to be able to experience this luxury service. Back in the Art Deco period, for example, only high society women could commission artists (such as one of my all-time favorite painters, Tamara de Lempicka) to paint them in seductive poses for their personal collection of art. Pretty fabulous, huh? Here are some examples from Tamara that she painted for these well-to-do beauties in the 1920’s (Click on thumbnails for full versions):
