A Day of Boudoir in Sonoma

In the beginning of this year, I held a boudoir special for Valentine's Day. In my previous post, I held it in Oakley (next door to Brentwood). Today's post is from the Sonoma day.

I was excited for my session in Sonoma. The sun was shining and the location was perfect! I'll show photos in another post, but the house is one of my aunt's rental vacation homes...and it's totally cute!

Here's Miss A. 

Miss A wanted to do this session for her husband.

 

What I loved about her session was she made a simple sweater look HOT!! And I loved her laughter :)

Valentine's Day Boudoir: Blushing Bride

This year I really want to get into doing more Boudoir sessions. Not only are they so much fun to do, but it's a great way to let your inner beauty shine out! Boudoir isn't about being photographed in next to nothing. Boudoir is about showing your beauty, both inside and out. Boudoir is about being comfortable in your skin. It's about showing your curves and being proud of them. It's about being confident in knowing that you look damn good!

This year, I started off my Boudoir sessions in time for Valentine's Day. I hosted one day in Sonoma and another in Oakley/Brentwood.

Miss L came to my session in Oakley/Brentwood. If you've read my blog, you will notice Miss L looks familiar. That is because she is one of my brides this year! She wanted to do this session for her fiancé and I'm so glad she did! She really rocked this session! She even brought some ideas from Pinterest, which was totally cool with me because I love me some Pinterest!

Baby Olive {Maternity}

My cousin, Charmaine, is about to be a mommy!!! YAY!!! We were all definitely surprised when she first told us, but we've been behind her ever since! We love you, Charmaine, and can't wait 'til Baby Olive gets here!

When Charmaine finally got big enough (ha ha!) we ran out to the Marina in Downtown Suisun to take Part One of her maternity session. The sun was out, which was great, but there was definitely a little chill in the air. Didn't matter because she rocked it, of course! 

This next one is my fave!!

And this one shows her goofy side :) I was actually going to title this photo "The Re-adjust". :)

Come back to check out Part Two of her maternity session.
