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!

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.

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.

Blog Hiatus | Las Vegas Boudoir
As many of you may have noticed, my blog was down recently, much to my chagrin! I have had so much going on and so many shoots I wanted to blog about but it all had to be put on hold until we could figure out how to reclaim all of the content our hosting company had lost when their server crashed. Well, we are back up and running now! Woohoo!
Anyway, I will try my best throughout what is the busiest holiday or boudoir season ever for me to start updating more often. Hope you all have been doing well and are enjoying the holiday season!
xoxo

Sharing is Caring | Las Vegas Boudoir
I enjoy sharing sweet emails and testimonials I receive not to brag by any means, but to let potential clients know from the mouths of actual clients what they can expect from a Haute Shots session with me. I fully believe in offering a fabulous experience from the first moment of contact until far after your shoot is finished. I build relationships, not just clientelle. I think the best proof of this is from seeing what others are saying. So, imagine my delight when a client wrote this recent glowing review:
• • • • • • • •
Love, Love, Love
A girlfriend and I did our photo shoot back in May, and I must say it was an amazing experience. I was very nervous at the beginning of the shoot, but by my second outfit, I was feeling good and completely comfortable, and by the third outfit, I was digging into the cotton candy Stacie brought to share!! I am so critical of myself, and worried that I wouldn’t like any of my pictures, but after seeing my sneak peeks, I realized the magic Stacie was able to create. I absolutely LOVED my photos. I loved them so much, I actually changed my contract to allow her to show more pictures of me on her Facebook and webpage!! My secret dream is to see myself advertised for Haute Shots on a billboard as I drive into Las Vegas!! Thank you Stacie for making the boudoir photo shoot a truly superb experience! I cannot say enough about all you have done for me, and my self esteem!!• • • • • • • •
Hope this helps give some of you who may be wavering on having a boudoir session of your own, find the confidence to just go for it. You only live once afterall – why not capture your beauty now for all time? It’s fun, I promise!

Lucky in Love | Las Vegas Bridal Boudoir
Mrs C is lucky in love. Not only is she loved by a new hubby but I was so impressed by how much her friends adore her. She was in Vegas for her Bachelorette party and had no idea what her girls were really up to. They had planned for about a month in advance her boudoir shoot, unbeknownst to her. Not only did they surprise her with the shoot in one of their suites, but they also took her lingerie shopping beforehand! Her happiness was incredibly important to them and they were all giddy with excitement, which totally rubbed off on Kat, Whitney and me. Even after having already done 2 boudoir shoots earlier that day, this one was as fresh as can be! The bachelorette party was an absolute riot! They all really wanted to stay for the actual shoot but gave the bride-to-be privacy so she could do her shoot without the worry of constantly cracking up. At one point we decided to do a couple of hallway shots. I opened the door and one of the girls almost came tumbling in! She was so cute, listening in at the doorway! And, then they all lined up along the hallway and quickly hid each time I took a shot of Mrs C. I will always remember how fun these girls were! Thank you to everyone involved….you girls were awesome! And, congratulations to Mrs C on her wedding!!!

Boudoir for the Holidays | Las Vegas Boudoir
Because I am waiting for a couple of clients to get married before I post their images and a few other recent clients opted out of sharing theirs, I thought I would take this time to remind you about my holiday deadlines. The holiday shoot deadline will be on November 15th, so please try to schedule your shoot before then. The cut-off date for most Christmas product orders will be November 25th. My Luxury Album orders need to be in way before then though so please plan your shoot date accordingly. I do have a Luxury Album alternative that I will be offering though for those of you who really want one but didn’t book your shoot early enough. There are only a few slight differences, but fewer cover options.
I urge you to begin booking your boudoir sessions ASAP to ensure you get your spot as well as your products completed in time. Processing, retouching, creating layouts as well as the vendor putting the product together takes quite a bit of time, especially when there are lots of orders coming through for the holidays. October is the ideal month to do your holiday shoot.
I am already purchasing fun items to create a sexy holiday theme for part of your fun photo session!
Looking forward to helping you out with your fabulous holiday gifts this year, girls!
To book your session now, please fill out the form on the contact page of my website.

LUSH | Las Vegas Boudoir
My first experience with the store LUSH was at the airport in Toronto, Canada where I purchased my very first bath bomb. I remember being incredibly impressed with their handmade, natural products and fun atmosphere. I had no idea how amazing their products really were though until a recent visit to the LUSH location inside of Mandalay Place in Las Vegas. Oh. My. Gosh!!! I have tried countless products elsewhere to soften my skin but nothing has come close to doing the job until I discovered LUSH’s body lotions, massage bars, bath melts and body butters!
Here are some of the items I either purchased, sampled in the store or that are on my radar:
Want: King of Skin Body Butter
Want: Sympathy for the Skin Body Lotion
Want: Sultana of Soap (Kat purchased this!)
Want: Hollywood Bubble Bar
Sampled: Créme Anglais Body Lotion (LOVED this stuff!)
Purchased: Butterball Bath Bomb (super hydrating)
Purchased: You’ve Been Mangoed Bath Melt (super hydrating)
Purchased: Each Peach Massage Bar (I used this early this morning instead of body lotion
directly after my shower and my skin is STILL incredibly moisturized at 8pm)
Purchased: Bubblegum Lip Scrub (You can lick it right off!)
Have you ever tried their products? If so, what are your favorites?
P.S. The massage bar gives your skin a nice sheen and might be just the right moisturizer to use for your boudoir shoot!

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!

Inspired: Iris Apfel
Let’s face it, getting older is a daunting fact of life for any woman. Style icon, Iris Apfel actually makes me look more forward to it though. My grandmother was also a very stylish woman…always knew how to add a little glamour to every outfit. So, bring on the huge eye-glasses and load me up with accessories….elegant & fashionable aging, here I come! I actually think I will be braver with my fashion sense as I age.
Here is a great video on Iris. Such a fascinating woman! Hope you enjoy learning about her and her wisdom on personal style sensibility.

Luxe Look for Less | Las Vegas Boudoir
Awhile back I had a spectacular client who had the cutest knickers from Agent Provocateur as one of her ‘looks’ during her boudoir session. They were so unique that I remember them to this very day and when I saw a similar pair in the Frederick’s of Hollywood catalog, I thought I would highlight them here for all of you in case this is a look you are interested in either for a boudoir photo session or a romantic night with your guy! I personally think it’s fun to wear pretty lingerie for no reason at all though, don’t you?!
Agent Provocateur – Cendrillon Brief $140 (I really wish there was a less ‘in-your-face’ image of these…lol.)
Frederick’s of Hollywood – Cora Cage Two-Piece Set $48

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!

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.

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.
