Divas — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:47:05 +0000

Boudoir photographer Teresa Nora Trobbe posted this adorable photo on our Boudoir Divas Photographers FB Page. I thought it was so stinkin’ cute I just had to share. Thanks for the shout out as well Teresa! That was really sweet. Here is what she posted….”LOVE The Divas and workshop is sooo worth-it! I have been shooting boudoir for about 6 years and yet I learned so much…the timing could not have been better. Even Everest raises the Bra to the beautiful Divas!!”

Our Oct boudoir workshop is totally full but if you want more info on the next we will launch please visit www.boudoirshop.com for more info.

Wednesday Morning Meeting

Divas — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:57:57 +0000

Hey everyone!
We’re doing our best to document the daily happenings here at the San Diego boudoir studio, just to give you a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into our lives here. I know that a lot of the time our little videos are just dorky and silly, but we really want to show our dorky/silly sides, because this is really who we are! Case in point: this video below, which is completely un-edited, un-scripted, and just shows us chatting and deliberating over a very big decision that we have to make in the next week! So check out this video from yesterday’s morning meeting…

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help us decide! We’re completely torn on what to do. Paris is a for-sure thing for us… we LOVE that city, and we will definitely return to do a workshop there again in the future. But we’re wondering if we should take a year off to try out something a little different – like the Caribbean! What do you think? Please give us your thoughts in the comment section below! Thank you! xoxo, K & M

Workshop Testimonial | February attendee: Joey Nicole

Divas — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:15:12 +0000

One of the best parts about hosting boudoir workshops is not only meeting awesome photographers and making new friends, but is to see how excited and inspired these attendees become over a 3 day period. When we receive emails like the one below, it only affirms that we are doing the right thing by hosting these workshops and Bringing Boudoir Back and making it more popular than ever to cities around the world!

“Dear Kimberlee & Marissa,

I’ve been waiting to send you a proper thank you for the workshop I attended at your San Diego Studio this past February. I wanted to be able to share a success story with you, and let you know exactly how your workshop forever changed my future in photography.

I have wanted to get into Boudoir since the beginning of my photography career, but never quite knew how. Typically shooting weddings and portraits, I was used to “shooting on the go” and not doing so much posing. Before signing up for your workshop, I had done a few shoots at client’s homes and in hotels, but knew nothing of studios and studio lighting.

At your workshop, I was so nervous to shoot the models on our own… lighting seemed unfamiliar and posing was still so new, but really, it was one of the best parts of the workshop. It gave me the confidence that I would be able to figure this out, even when nervous, and accomplish great shots. Playing hands-on with the lighting was really great as well. How nice of you to let us all come in and get our inexperienced hands on your fancy equipment! :)

And while all the technical stuff was really great to learn, my favorite part of the workshop was the last little bit, during my private one-on-one with Marissa. I am in my 4th year of business, and I have never had anybody critique my work before. Completely self taught, I’ve always just gone with what I liked, but it was so nice to have somebody analyze my shots with me. The best part of that conversation was that Marissa forced me to think about my future business plan… what did I want my life to be like 5 years from now? What kind of shooting schedule would I want, etc.? Again, something I hadn’t pushed myself to think about.

After the workshop, I came home and talked with my husband about our future. I wrote a business plan to open up a boudoir studio, and with just having a website and my shots from your workshop, I was able to get 11 clients to sign up for a grand opening Boudoir special. I ordered a black set, a white set, a pink damask set from Drop It Modern, all the necessary lighting, a few pieces of antique furniture, and off I went! I anticipate I will have all my start up costs paid off after my 2nd month in business.

I just completed my first week in the Studio with 4 of my clients, and they all have loved their photos, signed model releases, and ordered books and prints. It’s off to a really great start, and I’m already loving how great it feels to make these women feel good about themselves.

I partnered up with a lingerie shop owner, who takes care of my clients so well, helping them find lingerie that flaunts (or hides!) particular assets. I also partnered with a fantastic make up artist who comes to my studio for our clients, and she is making them look and feel gorgeous. I feel that these two people are key in helping my clients feel good about themselves before I start shooting. It really is a team effort.

Our plan is to make Boudoir my full-time business, and still shoot occasional weddings as well. For the first time in my photography career, I actually feel like I have control of my business… that I can go out, market like crazy, and get clients in for Boudoir. With weddings, I always felt like I was sitting around, waiting for inquiries to come in from referrals and ads. I am so excited about our new studio and all of its potential, and all the gorgeous photos that will come out of it.

Anyhow, thank you again, none of this would have been possible without your help :)

Much love,

Joey Nicole

A HUGE thank you to Joey, for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful email. We are so happy you joined us at our February workshop and wish you the best of luck with your beautiful new studio and business!

Paris Workshop attendees

Divas — Fri, 14 May 2010 18:36:26 +0000

I know we normally post this BEFORE our workshops start, but with the volcano and travel delays and everything else, I am a little behind. My apologies; but better late than never! Here is some information on our awesome attendees from our Paris boudoir workshop, week 1. This isn’t everyone, but I wanted to post the attendees who I did have information on! If you are one of the Paris Workshop attendees, you can still send me your information and I will update this blog! Thanks again for all of those who attended!

FIRST WEEK WORKSHOP:

Your website: www.nikkimcleodphotography.com
How long you have been shooting boudoir: 5 years
Why you got into shooting boudoir: I enjoyed seeing the Divas work on DWF, and loved what their approach could do to woman who were insecure with their bodies. I hadn’t really much interest in portraiture until I had seen the Divas work, but this changed my mind!
Your favorite part of The Boudoir Divas workshop: the posing first of all was the most useful for me; positioning the girls to get the best out of their bodies was a real lightbulb moment! I also enjoyed the marketing, being shown the different styles of lighting; actually everything was useful! I have 7 pages of a word document of notes to digest, and several hundred images to process!

Your favorite part of The Boudoir Divas workshop: The whole workshop was really excellent…if I HAD to pick my favourite bit it would have to be…the strawberries and nutella combo! – no seriously, although that was good, it would have to be hearing and watching the BD’s instructing the models to pose, and then after having an opportunity to practice them one-t-one with the models themselves.
