Boudoir? For HIM???

Posted by Booty Boudoir on July 22, 2008

When I think of the word Boudoir, I picture a woman being photographed adjusting her stocking or peeking out from under a bed sheet. Why should this only be for a woman? I LOVE the idea of including your MAN in your shoot. If your partner is open and appreciates an artistic eye, invite him along to your boudoir shoot….It will add a big spark to your relationship. The way this is shot is very discreetly and privately. I suggest poses that are sweet and affectionate that will result in an moody and artistic photograph. If you want something heavy and x rated, try craigslist!

Celebrity Baby buys his own Diapers

Posted by Booty Boudoir on July 18, 2008

Actress Christie Campagna has been waiting for her big break. Although she has appeared with Brad Pitt in the original Oceans 11, and had a small roll in Scorpion King with The Rock, she is still waiting for the perfect hollywood leading lady role. Who would have guessed that it would be her 6 month old baby Riley that would be following in his moms footsteps? ” He can finally start paying me back for diapers” Jokes Campagna on his recent guest roll on the Sarah Silverman show. Sarah also cast Christie’s daughter Bailey to star as none other then Sarah Silvermans own daugther on her hit comedy sitcom. Talk about a family blessed with star quality! Daughter Bailey Campagna is represented by the Osbrink Agency, the same agency that represents child stars such as Dakota Fanning. While pregnant with her mini celebs, Christie was represented by the modeling agency Expecting Models, that has represented a range of celebrity baby bumps like Ali Landry and Kristen Holly. http://www.expectingmodels.com/

I have the honor to be able to photograph the Campagna family on a regular basis. The thing about being a child star, is you need a new head shot every month!

Maternity Photography

Posted by Booty Boudoir on July 16, 2008


Pregnancy is such an amazing time in a woman’s life! I feel that it is so important to artistically document the changes your body goes through, as most of us gals only go through it a couple of times in our lifetime. There are several different ways you can be photographed, depending on what you feel comfortable with. A lifestyle shoot would be you just having fun, doing your day to day things like watering the plants or picking up flowers at the market. You can do something more fashion forward and posed if you are wanting something a bit more edgy. Lastly, I would suggest some tasteful nudes. By nude, dont think EEK! Im naked. I would suggest using a sheet discreetly wrapped around you, a silhouette next to a window, and posing you comfortably and naturally to show off your baby bump.

Family Portraits

Posted by Booty Boudoir on July 15, 2008

From time to time I get asked if I shoot family portraits. The answer to this question is YES! I love shooting families. I suggest that the families dress similar in color scheme. Avoid black and super bright colors and busy patterns. The beach is always a great place to shoot in the afternoon, as is a park. If there are babies in the group, be sure to pack plenty of toys to keep them occupied!
