East Bay Studios Fashion Show and Becki Designs

If you modeled for me at the party on Friday night (October 24th) at East Bay Studios send me an email (include your assigned model number). I will let you know when the pictures are done and get them to you. And on that note, thanks to all the fun models that shared their time and talent. It was a blast.

For everyone interested in the custom corsets designed my my totally talented sister, Becki, here is her website address: http://www.beckidesigns.com/
The site is still under slight construction (not all the links go somewhere yet), but her contact information is on her site and she would love to hear from you. And she would also like to thank the models that shared their talent to show off her clothing on the runway. You were all amazing.

And, for those of you who don't know what I am talking about - There is a new studio in Utah County called East Bay Studios. They are involved with VIP Media and Redline Photoworks (some pretty cool people). They opened their grand studio for an industry party of sorts. There was a live band, lots of photographers and models and a fashion show. Very fun!

(Pictured dresses are by Becki. They are made of bamboo, which feels a lot like cashmere and has a nice body to it that creates a beautiful swing in these holiday dresses)

A few of my favorite things....

So, on my website's info page I have a list of What to Wear to give you ideas about what to bring along to your shoot. However, I thought I would post a list of "a few of my favorite (sexy little) things" to shoot and the reason:

• Bridal Veils: Aw, what can be prettier than sheer white veils? You can be playful and innocent or sexy and a little bit naughty in yours. Your husband-to-be will think these are your best "bridal" pictures ever! Remember to bring along some pretty white lingerie (bras and panties work well) and your Engagement Ring!

• Thigh High Stockings: Ok, who really still wears these on a daily basis? Talk about uncomfortable. However, they are the ultimate in sex appeal. They are especially hot with a garter belt. Let's show off those sexy legs. Remember to bring some high heel shoes.

• His Tie: The guys love seeing something of theirs on you. Ties can be a super fun accessory. Playfully put it on with a bra and panty set, a la Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. He'll smile every time he puts that tie on.

Niki's Album

Sweet! I took a minute to update my portfolio with Niki's beautiful album. Take a peek (click on the image).

Holiday Schedule

I wanted to give everyone a head's up about getting albums in time for Christmas since they are the most popular product I have. I have already had a conversation about this with everyone that currently has a session booked, this doesn't change anything.

Alright, my album company just got me the deadline for holiday delivery for this year. All album orders need to be in by Friday, November 21st. So Christmas sessions need to be done well before that. I don't really have many openings left but I may be able to squeeze one or two more in before then. So contact me and we'll see if we can work something out on our calendars.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Sessions for this holiday must be done in January if you are considering getting an album.

Albums don't usually take as long to ship. They usually average around 2 weeks. However, the holiday season is especially busy for them. The albums and photobooks are put together individually by hand with the highest quality materials.

Remember that I have other ways of displaying and giving your photos as gifts as well. DVD slideshows are a fun surprise. Leave him a little note to press play on the DVD player. We can also do prints, mini albums, and calendars.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Bra Fitting

One of my clients sent me this video after we discussed bra fitting at a photo shoot. It's actually pretty good. It doesn't include measuring or math, just things to look for when trying a bra on. There are more videos in the series, but this one seems to be a good general one. (And by the way, I don't envy the model that is getting pinched).
