I think we all remember the first time, as little girls, when we tried on high heels. We stumbled like baby giraffes, trying to emulate the way we saw our mothers walk. And later, as teens, it was runway models we had in mind as we slipped on strappy stilettos. And, of course, there is a reason for this. When we saw our mothers walk in high heels, we admired her stature and her grace as our first role models. …
Hi beautiful, boudoir divas! The Boudoir Café photoshoot package doesn’t just include a photoshoot. It includes a full hair, makeup, and general pampering! It’s what we call our Queen for a Day session and love treatment! We all work so hard, every day, that we deserve to treat ourselves and relax. Guys, there’s no reason to gift her just a regular spa day. And girls, there’s no reason why you should settle for even giving yourself such a small, few-hour lasting treat. …
Happy autumn darlings! Sooo not only is The Boudoir Cafe the #1 best boudoir photographer in LA, we also happen to be one of the top general photographers as well! Yes, our boudoir is renowned — but so is the work of our other photo studio, CherieFoto. My style — and indeed the style of Hedley and everyone on our wonderful team — tends to the innovative, the imaginative, the whimsical, and (often) reaches into the deep recesses of the …
Hello world! So we are all aware of the awesome effects a boudoir photoshoot has on a woman. But what about a significant other she is sharing the photos with? What are their reactions, before, during, and after the process? I spoke with the greatest hubby ever, Tim, to see what he has to say about boudoir photography, The Boudoir Cafe, and our wonderful team. Tim had a lot to say about how it felt to be there during the …
Hi darlings! Here in LA we have a saying: “Any woman can be a porn star.” I think this is a little much. However, if you analyze what it is trying to say, you realize that there is not only much reality behind it, but much reality as well. In essence, the saying means this: inside every woman, there is a sexual goddess. There is sexuality in every woman. And every woman has the right, and the ability, to explore, …
Hi fabulous women of the world! Feminism is often confused with the eras of suffragist voting rights, bra-burning, and the fight for birth control. And while these ideas are important to keep in mind, the modern, third wave of feminism is something we must understand and pay attention to. In essence, third-wave feminism is marked by the goal of complete gender equality between men and women in the 21st century and beyond. That means equal pay in the workplace and …
Hi Boudoir Beauties! As you may know, The Boudoir Café does a full hair and makeup session just for you before your boudoir photoshoot. During makeup, one question Hedley, me, and our makeup artiste always get asked is, “Where in the world do you, and the girls you photograph, get such long, full, amazing lashes?” Usually, for most boudoir photo sessions, our team at The Boudoir Cafe sees girls come in asking for fake lashes; or have gotten eyelash extensions …
Hi loves! The Boudoir Cafe team always gets asked this question: what is the difference between pin-up and boudoir? Understandably, it’s easy to get confused between pin-up and boudoir. They are both sexy, tasteful photographs done in a fun photoshoot environment, and they are both meant to help you find that sexy side of yourself. Except there are a few key differences between pin-up and boudoir. When we say pin-up, we are taken back to the early 1900’s, when these …
