caution: images contain partial nudity. not the kind of r-rated nudity, more like pg-13

jess hid a bag filled with lace and sexy fishnets in her car the night before and as she left the house she told chris, i’m going to the mac counter with sam, getting our make-up done, doing a little shopping, and that she would see him later. chris didn’t care, he was getting ready to head downtown with eric (my eric), to visit our jeweler mervyn at the la diamond factory. he was buying jess a ring, the ring. what chris didn’t know was that jess was heading to see me, to have a boudoir session just for him. a day full of lies, wonderful lies but a story that we had to keep straight, for 6 weeks! considering that eric works with chris every day, that was quite a hard feat. we managed however, without chris ever finding out about the session and jess never had a clue what chris was up to that day either. on their 5th anniversary, last thursday they went out to celebrate. jess with book in hand, chris with the ring in his pocket and the secret was finally revealed. jess cried when she saw the ring, and chris won’t tell eric much about the book, but i am sure he was shocked when he saw it. these pics should show why. jess is sexy, beautiful, and funny. chris is one lucky man and we cannot wait to celebrate this wonderful time in their lives with them!

***boudoir photos are not posted on our blog unless our clients give their permission. if you are thinking of having a boudoir session done and worried about them showing up on the blog, you have the option to keep them totally private

boudoir is a wonderful and surprising gift you can give to your significant other. it can be scary, and overwhelming but you will always have these photos to look back on and go, “damn, i am hot .” if it takes all day to get the perfect shots, then that is fine with us. if you have any questions about boudoir or would like to schedule a session, send us an email and we will give you all the information you need. we will never post boudoir images without the permission of our clients, but here is a small teaser of some of stephanie’s pics, with her permission of course, shot at el matador state beach in malibu. i met up with stephanie early in the morning, to avoid any crowds. when we arrived, we were the only ones on the beach! we quickly took advantage of having no one around, and got some really sexy photos, which will not be posted here . boudoir is usually done in a bedroom setting, but i thought the beach was an awesome idea and stephanie being the perfect california girl really worked it!
