This weeks girl crush is the gorgeous Elizabeth Hurley.  I love her confidence. I love her cheekbones.  And after putting this inspiration board together, I also LOVE her legs.  I think even my grandma would love her legs.

(just a note… the images in this post are simply inspiration I found through other sources, this is not my work :)

I can hear the gym calling my name.

What kind of shoes should you bring to your boudoir photography session??

I prefer to keep it simple.  Bring a pair of sexy black stilettos and a pair of fun/stylish shoes.  Heels play 2 very important parts in a shoot. They give you a little lift and can make you feel incredibly sexy, whether they are in the shot or not.  And then of course the obvious, they look HOT!  I am most certainly not a “high heel” wearing girl, but when I do force myself to put on a pair, I feel like an instant bombshell.  It just gives you that extra oomph.  Don’t worry if they are too high or uncomfortable, you won’t be doing much walking, I promise!

okay.  so this is not my photograph.  I do not know where it came from, it just showed up in my tumblr..  It is however, this weeks inspiration, for many reasons.  The most important being… it inspires me.

It says to me, simply,  “get into the gym.”  Seriously, who has a butt like that???  Guess I am glad I don’t live near the beach, or I would be spending a lot more time in the gym.

I also love the idea of photographing someone in a bathing suit.  (Love these striped bottoms!) Perhaps you are not ready for the lingerie show.. maybe you feel incredibly sexy in your bikini.  Bring it to your shoot!!  I have seen some smokin bathing suits.  And I don’t know why, but for some reason, a bikini that covers less than a bra and panty can feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

Did anyone catch the episode of Cougar Town when Travis got boudoir photos taken for his girl friend?  (You have to see it!)  I was a little disappointed that they showed a sleazy 1980’s style boudoir studio and photographer, but we all know it is not like that anymore. Right!!!!

Today’s Posing Tip: How to pull the camera’s pants down with your eyes. (quote from the show…)

There are all sorts of ways to get that certain look in your eyes.  The biggest challenge is doing it in front of the camera without looking cheesy and not laughing!!  Here is my tip.  (I should add here that I read this tip on another blog, and sadly, I cannot find the source.  So, please, if you wrote this and are reading it here, please comment and let me know so that I can give you proper credit!)

You can try this at home too, in front of your mirror.  Pair it with the previous tip on touching yourself for the ultimate effect :) It’s easy, close your eyes.  Take a very slow deep breath in.  Now open your eyes as you let it out looking straight into the camera.

This will give you a relaxed, seductively sexy look.  hotness.

I love searching for inspiration.  (Especially when I have tons of notsofun work to be doing!) I have been compiling it lately, in one organized place.  Trust me, this is a BIG deal!  I have year’s of “inspiration” stuffed away in folders, notebooks, emails, etc.  Getting them all into one place as been quite the project.  But I am always finding new inspiration along the way.

I will continue to post inspiration on the blog, but if you are aching for more and just cannot wait, click here to check out my “inspiration files” on tumblr. (Hint:  click on archives to see everything at once.)

This week’s Tip:  Accessorize “Strategically”

This shot is just the “tip of the iceberg” of a incredibly sexy shoot I had the honor of doing last week.  S.E.X.Y.  Trust me, you can’t wait til you see the rest.

She brought a variety of accessories, inspired by another photo she had seen and it was spectacular.  She also brought a friend, who was ever so sweet and a FANTASTIC stylist. Everything looked amazing.  I can only hope that I was able to capture their vision :)

I tend to ask my clients to bring just a few pieces of jewelry, mainly because I won’t focus on it and it gets lost in the photo.  But when you work it into a specific look, like she did, it finds a way to work perfectly!

A big chunky necklace that falls across you back in just the right spot, an engagement ring, some diamond earrings or a necklace he bought you as a gift; whatever it is, keep it simple and work it into the look.

Hats are also a fabulous accessory – especially a fedora… and maybe a pair of suspenders.  H. O. T.!
