It’s Tuesday after a three day weekend and since I know how hard it is to get back to work after a holiday, I’m going to post something special today (as if EVERY post isn’t special though am I right?). Rico and I had a great weekend in San Fran shooting the RAD wedding of Dominique and Tim. It seriously, blew.my.mind. I mean, she designed her own dress complete with a “big obnoxious bow” (her words) which was perfection. Ok ok, before I get ahead of myself, you’ll just have to wait to see those images at a later date (or go to our facebook page later today where I’ll be posting a little glimpse). After 10 hours of driving in the car and listening to dance music to keep us awake and not suicidal over the traffic (I dreamt about Usher, no joke), we made it home late last night. That is why we missed the Monday post, but as if you even noticed because I’m sure you were all out partying/enjoying the day off! If you weren’t, this is me shaking my finger at you! NO WORK ON LABOR DAY!
So this week it’s a Tuesday post, and a good one. I mentioned last week that I do boudoir photography as well and that I have a separate site dedicated to that, remember? Well, I said that I would post some pics and talk a bit about my philosophy behind my style/approach. Here I am, as promised doing just that. I will just start off by saying that I LOVE boudoir photography. It can be so beautiful and artistic and so fun, all things I love so of course I dig it! So you know what? I think you should book a session. Why? Because you’re beautiful and you should document that….no matter what your size or shape (I know we tend to worry about that ladies, being one myself). The pictures make a FANTASTIC wedding gift for your fiance, or a first anniversary gift for your spouse (the first year gift is supposed to be paper, so it’s perfect!). PLUS, I do the shoots along with one of my besties Carleigh, (love you Carlos!!) and we have a grand old time laughing, drinking wine, and taking a few pics. A note about our style, we HATE fake. You are beautiful EXACTLY how you are and don’t need any alterations. That being said, we don’t use any artificial light and we don’t do much touching up (general things yes, but I will not be making you look 3 sizes smaller) Why? Because that’s not you! No frills, no fake, just the real you, it’s raw and THAT’S hot, so that’s what you’ll get. And I’M SURE whomever you are giving the pictures to doesn’t want to see a fake you, they want to see the REAL you, the person they love. Not a false, lit up, airbrushed, 10 sizes smaller version. PASS. Soooooo, there you have it, our raw boudoir photography. The site is www.studioraw.net (still a work in progress, but worth sharing) so check it out! For a limited time I am running a special of $300, just let me know you read this blog post and the discount is all yours. Stay sexy my friends!!! xoxo
Great blog post Rach. The pictures look amazing. I am excited for you in your new endeavor!

Comment by Mel 09.12.10 @ 12:14 pmOooh Rachel you’re gooooood. Would you ever do a boudoir shoot of a pregnant lady??
[...] out pretty well this weekend, phew. We did have four rad shoots though; 3 engagement sessions and 1 boudoir. We had several holiday parties to attend as well, and we all know how much I love holiday parties. [...]
