It started as a gift for him ::: Orange County Boudoir

Some posts just don't need much of a write up ... and  this is one of those posts!  I mean, seriously, Sarah and I have said it time and time again, we have the most amazing clients.  Every woman that has chosen to have a boudoir experience with us is an incredible woman!  And Miss "E" is no exception!  I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are for that.    

Here is what Miss "E" had to say about her experience.

Originally I did this boudoir session as a gift for my boyfriend, but after seeing my photos today with Jeni, this was definitely a gift for myself as well. I came into the photoshoot nervous and critical as hell. I am my biggest critic and I was so uncomfortable, but Jeni and Sarah were absolutely amazing from the get go!
Sarah did an amazing job on my hair and makeup, I don't think I'll ever emulate that again, but ughhh I felt so gorgeous! And then it came time to the photoshoot--yikes! A few shots in and I was surprisingly feeling better, all thanks to Jeni! She was so into it that it made it difficult for me not to be enjoying the photoshoot myself! Once it was over, I was shocked because I was having such a blast!
 
I had a chance to learn about Eye Kandie Boudoir and both Jeni and Sarah during my session and I was happy to do so. Today was my viewing session with Jeni and I don't regret a thing! Thank you ladies for being so so amazing and inspiring and for sparking a love in myself and my curves like I've never had before. I can truly say I love the skin I'm in! =) 

TL;DR: Whether it's a gift for your fiancé, husband, boyfriend or yourself, these ladies will not disappoint! You'll leave feeling confident and beautiful!

Boom!  Those curves, though!!  And the tattoos!  Happy dance happening right now over these images :)

Thank you, Miss E, for letting us share your incredible images!  XO!

Every woman has what it takes :::: Miss D :::: Orange County Boudoir

You know how you are just drawn to certain people for some reason?  And you never really know why at first.  That's how it started with Miss D; within her first correspondence to us were the words "This is more than scary for me" and  "Not sure my body is quite ready for it" and "Would be so crazy for me to do."  I was drawn to her and I hoped beyond hope that she would choose to have this experience with us!! Because I knew she needed this boost probably more than anyone I had come across yet.  See, Miss D had lost over 100 pounds so far but she still saw her old self in the mirror every time she looked into it.  Her self esteem was a big issue for her and she didn't feel sexy in any way, shape, or form because she felt kids and heaviness had done such a number on her body.  She recently decided she wanted to really wanted to face her lack of self esteem and fears head on.  No.  Not just FACE her fears, she wanted to CRUSH her fears..  But she didn't just buy a skimpy bikini that she swore she'd wear this summer.  That would've been too easy. She instead decided to enter into a bikini body building competition! What a way to put your fears to rest!!!  So she started a work out regimen and is working hard to get to her goal!  

She was such a joy behind the lens!  I am so glad that Miss D came into the studio and I'm so glad that this experience was exactly as I knew it would be for her!

"I was shaking with nerves! I swear it was only 5 photos in when I was hysterically laughing and felt like I had known them for years.  It was like a few friends getting together to hang out."
"I cancelled on them once and even got major anxiety over doing this.  I was literally sick over the idea of this.  I finally came to peace with [it]"
"I keep looking at the photos and almost cry, there is no way those pictures are of me.  I have never felt and looked so sexy and confident before."

This woman  inspires me.  She's not letting fear cripple her in this journey.  Boudoir is not just pretty photos.  It's so much more than that!  It's a confidence booster.  Its about proving to yourself how amazing you really are!  

All you have to do is show up.  Just book that session with us.  We will handle the rest.  You don't have to know how to give sexy looks or know how to pose sexy.  That is my job to tell you exactly what to do, where to look, how to breathe! Every woman has what it takes to have a boudoir session, but its up to me to bring it out.  

We are all born sexual creatures ... Miss "C" ::: Orange County Boudoir

We’re finally getting around to blogging some of our sessions from the end of last year!  Woohoo!  We’ve been staying pretty busy around here with Valentine’s Day and so we haven’t really kept up with blogging our sessions, but that now means we’ve got a ton of new images we get to share with you. 

First up, Miss “C”

Miss "C" stepped into our studio with an amazing energy, tenacity and a super killer wardrobe.  Seriously, she knocked it out of the park with her outfits! We had such a great time creating this gift to herself and for her husband.  She is so stunning and brought an attitude with her that screamed “I’m ready for anything you throw at me!” :) 

“I can't say enough good things about Jeni and Sara, the Eye Kandie team! They were fantastic to work with and made me feel at ease from the very beginning, not to mention made me look AMAZING! They really are great at what they do. I scheduled a boudoir shoot as a surprise for my husband and I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never done anything like this before. They walked me thru every step of the way from selecting my wardrobe to selecting my final prints. They made me feel extremely comfortable and beautiful in my own skin. Like most women Im my worst critic and was very nervous of how the final product would turn out and I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I loved my photos, and actually had a hard time deciding which prints to choose. I can't wait to see my husband's reaction when he opens my gift to him on Christmas Eve!”

“We are all born sexual creatures, thank God. But it’s a pity that so many people despise and crush this natural gift.”

— Marilyn Monroe

Miss "C" sent us a funny note about the image above.

“So I used this pic in a meme creator and txt it to my hubs on Christmas Eve while he was still at work, with the saying "my husband’s idea of a Merry Christmas" and he simply replied "yup lol". He had no clue it was a pic of me! I was dying to tell him but held out until I gave him the album later that night. He was so surprised and blown away by my photos. He was truly speechless.”

Seriously, the best note, ever!! <3

Thank you for trusting us with your boudoir experience and letting us share your AMAZING images!! XO

Is boudoir porn?

NO!

There is absolutely no comparison between boudoir and porn. The intention of porn is to be sexually exhilarating; the audience is paying for pleasure. Boudoir is meant for the eyes of the subjects choosing, for the purpose of enjoying sensual beauty. At Eye Kandie Boudoir, we create tasteful classy images. Some clients request the "illusion" of topless, but we do not create fully nude photos. 

The bottom line is, Boudoir is for a select audience. It is a celebration of beauty. It is artistic, elegant and classy. 

No Regrets ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Miss A

More often than not, clients email us telling us they've been wanting to do a session for such a long time and they've FINALLY decided to gather up the courage and book a shoot!  Boy does that make us happy! Every one of our clients have come to us a tad (or a lot!) nervous, and trust me, I GET IT!!  I mean, c'mon, it's to be expected. Stripping down in front of someone is hard enough, but to do it when that someone has a CAMERA? In your face?? Yeah, again, it's to be expected that you'll be nervous. But don't let those nerves stop you, let them guide you to excitement and adventure!  Just like Miss A did!  She'd wanted a shoot.  But she waited ... and waited.  Finally, she realized that she wasn't going to regret doing the shoot ... she'd regret NOT doing it!  So she finally emailed us.  Bravo, Miss A for getting out of your comfort zone and letting your nerves guide you, not stop you!

Do it for you! ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Miss K

Miss K stole our hearts right from the get go with her first email to us:

I have been dying to do this for a long time but haven't felt brave enough for it yet. I've recently come to a point in my life where I'm learning to fall in love with myself again and not depend on the approval or love of any man. I've always been tagged as the "good girl" or "so sweet" girl. It's true that I have a good heart and care for others but I'm more than that. I'm a woman who feels sexy and has the same desires and needs as any other woman. At times I feel that I'm not supposed to feel this way or be desirable because it's not appropriate but I'm only denying myself. I feel sexy sometimes and would be honored to have it captured.

That right there is why we do what we do and why we LOVE it!  

“The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet.” –Mohadesa Najumi

She wasn't going to let anyone (including herself!) make her feel bad about wanting to feel desirable. Nor should she. She was doing it for HERSELF, to uplift her soul.   Boudoir isn't just about sexy photos.  It's about proving to yourself that you are more than just a mom, a wife, a housekeeper, a shuttle service , or a {insert whatever label you want here}.  It's proving to yourself that you are a confident, amazing, gorgeous, feminine, bad-ass and sexy WOMAN period! The first step is always the hardest.  But once you take that first step, you'll quickly realize how the rest of you, just, ... follows.  Life is short, go ahead and take that leap!

Miss K was phenomenal in front of my lens! She made my job so unbelievably easy. Thank you for bringing your A game, Miss K, and thank you for bringing those stunning red bottom shoes and the killer fishnet gloves and stockings!  Just see for yourself...
