And how are we all doing today? Hopefully by now you’ve all had your coffee and are ready for the week to start. I’m there. I love coffee…mmmmmmmmmm. Rico and I had another packed weekend with two weddings perfectly finished off with a dinner at Spread with two lovelies (xoxo Josh and Ariel). And here we are, EDITING our brains out, and prepping for the engagement shoots and weddings coming up this week. Life is good eh? I think so.

Today we’re going to share with you a boudoir shoot Rico and I did last week (in our dining room) with our FABULOUS hairstylist and friend Mish. Not only is Mish a genius at keeping my hair tame but she’s also an extremely talented wedding hair stylist. Seriously, she’s a true artist and I fully recommend her if you’re in need of the BEST HAIR EVER for your wedding. We were ecstatic when we had the opportunity to do this this shoot with Mish, and I really love this because it is a perfect example of how boudoir can be anything you want it to be and still be just as beautiful. Who says you have to sit around in your chonies and take off your clothes? Not us! We can make your boudoir shoot anything you like, one requirement is that it’s YOU and that you feel comfortable. Got it? good. Sooooooooo, Mish obviously rocked this shoot and I could not wait to share it with you, so here you go!

And OF COURSE a shout out is in need for Rita Nguyen, the talented makeup artist who did Mish’s makeup. AMAZING!

Oh boy, here we are at Monday again and I definitely found myself wanting to take a sick day when my alarm went off this morning. Although we had a pretty killer weekend (in the good sense), waking up Monday morning has never been an easy task for me. What did we do this weekend, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. We went up to San Luis Obispo for a rainy engagement session with Luca and Carly (such troopers!) and then just hung out the rest of the weekend with my bff and her fam. Even though it rained, it was heavenly and just what we needed. Oh and I must say I am feeling very accomplished that we made it home because driving through LA in a storm like yesterday’s was quite the challenge….luckily we stopped at Flore in LA for a quick bite that blew my mind. Seriously amazing vegan awesomess…I got the Tu-No Melt with the beet salad and just about passed out right there. If you live in LA go there, NOW.

Ok, enough about our weekend (although I know you SO enjoy hearing about what I had for lunch)…today we have a rad boudoir shoot to share with you. Boudoir? Yes, remember a while back I mentioned that we also do boudoir? Well, we do and we love it. I shoot most of the shoots alone or with a female assistant, but sometimes we have a client that is cool with Rico coming along and shooting some of the less revealing parts of the shoot (he provides an amazing non female perspective). That is exactly what happened in the fashion-inspired boudoir shoot I have for you today, oh and NOT ONLY was Rico shooting, so was our amazing intern Delaney (she is a talented make-up artist as well and did Kristy’s make-up, so fyi if you’re looking for some of the best make-up EVER for your wedding). So Kristy had to deal with THREE of us, and let me tell you, she was amazing….we even did this in a public park! Goooooo Kristy! So I’ll stop my yapping and let the pictures speak for themselves. If anyone is interested in a boudoir session, you should just head over to your email right now because I’m offering a $50 discount if you book a session by the end of the week and have Delaney do your make-up. WHAT?? I know, email me…go on.

Also, again I must mention that it appears some people are not receiving my emails. So if you haven’t heard from me and were expecting to, then definitely email me and let me know because it’s quite possible my email either went to your spam or didn’t arrive at all! Sheesh, come on technology! love you all and enjoy!
