Yeeehaw! I am so happy to announce this baby! A year in the making and our Showit Site is done! CLICK HERE to check it out.

Now, I am sure that there are a lot of glitches. We will be fixing those as we come across them. When you go big, it seems that you are constantly finding little hiccuups, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. I have to go do a shoot now, but K and I will be cracking a bottle of champagne later.

Yes, we have two boudoir blogs! One is www.thedivasblog.com (the one you are reading this very second) and the other boudoir blog is for our San Diego boudoir clients. You are welcome to check it out if you are so inclined ;) www.sandiegoboudoir.com Then, Kimberlee, has another blog for her kiddo photography and I, Marissa, have one for Weston and my wedding photography. Do you think we like to blog or what!?

One of the rising trends in boudoir photography is the “boudoir marathon.” This is a great business idea, and it’s PERFECT for anyone who doesn’t have studio space. Most boudoir marathons take place in a hotel room… you’ll book the hotel for a few days, then book up as many boudoir shoots as you can in those days! Such a cool way to do things. We’re super excited about our Vegas Workshop because we’re going to be shooting in a hotel suite – which will be perfect for those of you who are planning on doing marathons in a hotel! We’ll show you how EASY (and inexpensive) it can be to get it going. With just a few simple lighting set-ups and a couple innovative ways of looking at the hotel room, you can transform it into a sweet boudoir studio! Want to see more about the Vegas workshop? Click here for all the details. We have just a FEW spots left, so if you’re interested in joining us, email us soon! (info@theboudoirdivas.com). Thanks!

Hey everyone!  So first of all, we want to let you all know that we’ve decided to push-back the Santa Barbara workshop.  We want to be sensitive to the devastation in DJ’s neighborhood, and we have also had many more inquiries for our Vegas workshop in Feb.  Therefore, we’ve decided to postpone for now.  [DJ, we can't wait to come up there in 09!  Also, know that our hearts and prayers go out to your neighbors who have lost so much this past week].

Ok, so now for Vegas info.  We’ll be holding a full workshop there (2 days)… this will be exactly like our San Diego workshop, only cooler because it’s in Vegas!  ;)  The dates: Thurs-Fri, Feb. 12-13… that’s right before WPPI week!  Shooting with gorgeous models – studio lighting – shooting with only available/natural light – marketing – pricing – processing – selling – the ‘supermodel experience’ – posing – all of this packed into two full days!  Then on Saturday, we’ll be doing our demo shoot again at the KISS house (not a workshop, but a demo shoot… we’ll be shooting and explaining what we’re doing; you’ll have the opportunity to shoot behind/around us).   (*Note: those who have signed up for our workshop will have first-dibs on spots for the KISS demo shoot).

We’ve already had about 5 people ask to be on the list for this workshop… but we haven’t officially started taking registrations.  We’ll start THIS WEEK, and you’ll be notified through our newsletter when you’re able to sign up.  If you’re interested in joining us for our boudoir workshop in Vegas, make sure you’re on our newsletter list so you don’t miss out!  We’ll see you in Vegas!

Not sure what Twitter is or why the heck it’s such a big deal? Click here to see our new brotherfriends Lan & Vu chat it up about Twitter for photographers. I didn’t know about the importance of the “track” feature until the Buis shared their wealth of knowledge. [thanks, guys!] I am already using Twitter, but Marissa still isn’t quite convinced about it… so I’m thinking that if enough people leave a comment here, we can convince her to jump on the Twitter bandwagon. :)
