I met Jen a year ago while filming some behind the scenes for a photographer friend of mine. I asked her if she had ever thought of doing a boudoir shoot. A lot of people think that classically beautiful women, or whatever society says is in right now, don't have hesitations about this kind of thing. But Jen said "Well, I don't have anyone to give these photos to... I'm not a very sexy person... I can't make sexy faces because I always end up laughing when its time to be serious... People will judge me for this... My body isn't where I want it to be... Maybe one day..." Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Happy New Year! SO many things happened in the last 12 months. I went back to tennis camp with my family, my brother got married, I climbed the Eiffel Tower, jet skied around St. Tropez, I became an uncle to the cutest twin nieces ever, I drove the coast of the Pacific North West (amazing), I taught a boudoir workshop in Miami, Florida, and I had my most successful business year ever. 

... Overall, it was the best experience of my life and it helped me get past a lot of negative feelings I had about myself. 

Fast forward to this year, where I'm asked to teach how I shoot video for 25 amazing photographers in the Association of International Boudoir Photographers (AIBP). I taught at the 2015 retreat in Ojai, but I could tell this year was going to be special.

Let's get to know each other a bit more. Here are a few random facts about me. I'd love to know more about you!

1. I moved to LA so I could get away from the snow in Colorado, now 80 degrees is too hot and 70 degrees is too cold.
2. I’m really good at making friends on airplanes.
3. I met my girlfriend in Thailand on a beach at midnight (she’s American too). We had pre-booked our hotels and found out that it was the same hotel and that hotel put our rooms next door to each other. Total coincidence.

It is your wedding, anniversary, or birthday. Maybe it is just a Tuesday and you want to celebrate yourself. Here are some guidelines that are important to follow when beginning your search for your boudoir experience.

Boudoir is the perfect wedding gift. Your groom gets to see the woman he loves in a secret little book made just for him, and you get an amazing experience.
