Hey fellow boudoir enthusiasts!!! One of the most common questions people ask us regarding their boudoir photography business is if we think they need to change their name? Like… do they need a separate name for their boudoir business vs their, say, senior portrait biz? Check our thoughts on that one in the video above.

We get soooo many emails from clients and photographers raving about the music on our website and asking who is this beautiful musician? :) The Boudoir Divas are proud to say it is a friend of ours, Melissa Vaughan! She wrote this song SPECIFICALLY for us and for use on our website and we couldn’t be more happy! It is so unique and fits our style and studio perfectly. We wanted to share the video of her first sharing the song she wrote for us. You are awesome Melissa!

I received the email below last month and I figured that this may be a question that a lot of you have. Here is the question.

“Hi Marissa,
I just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration in my boudoir work and your images are absolutely stunning. I just wanted to ask how you talk so many clients into agreeing to reveal their faces for your website and blog? I’ve YET to have a client that has agreed so all of the images on my blog are well…..faceless. They agree to sample albums but nothing online… Thanks so much and enjoy your weekend! -Eric, Raw Photo Design

Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for the kind words. No need to make my head big! ;) When we started out we had that hiccup in our marketing plan as well. We started asking gals in a way that made it seem more like privilege rather than a favor. Something like, “Your photos came out so wonderful, we would for you to be one of the gals we feature on our blog and website in hopes that it would encourage other wives to come and do a shoot.” Now it seems that girls want to be on our site and bring it up even before we get the chance to ask. Like a bit of a status thing. We also tell them that the only way to keep us from eventually deleting their photos after their order was to sign our marketing/model release. Another option is to let them choose the photos that they are comfortable with showing. Maybe some that are bit less racy.

So K n’ I didn’t have to time to make a fun episode out of this question….. so I will just sing the outro song. Na na na na naaah, nu nu nu nu nu NAH! ;)
