As a woman, you have so much power at your fingertips. You are a gift, a blessing and you have a powerful voice to be heard. You are a force to be reckoned with and never let anyone take that power away from you. Go out and make a positive impact this week - don’t let you stop you.
Also, white sheets are really high on my list of favorite outfits.... Gah, they are just sexy!!
I am completely smitten with these images of Miss R! She wasn't afraid to trust me and as a result, we got some amazingly steamy photos. She originally intended for these to be a gift for her husband, but just like everyone else, she realized this is JUST as much, if not MORE SO, a gift for themselves.
You have permission to be both an incredible, giving, nurturing mother and a sexy WOMAN. Don’t lose sight of the woman you were before you had kids - the two CAN coexist together. You are allowed to have ME time - time that you’re not spending taking care of everyone’s needs. Invest in yourself - don’t let happiness feel like a foreign concept to you. It’s all about balance.

Ummmm, hellooooo gorgeous!! This beautiful, curvy girl was amazing to work with! She was fun, kind, VERY complimentary, and confident. Her beauty on the outside is very obvious but her beauty on the inside (where it REALLY counts) is unmatched.

Are you afraid of how silly you might look trying to be sexy? It’s so much easier than you might think. I say this to all my clients that while the photos are unbelievably sexy, the process really isn’t at all. It’s very technical - I tell you where to look, where to place your hands, how to lift your chin (higher and higher). I tell you exactly how to breathe during the session so we can get these sexy faces. You DO NOT have to know how to do any of it before you come in. Coaching you is what I’m here for - and then I push a button on a camera. I’ve got your back - the only thing required from you is to show up and follow directions. ;)
Miss B came to us because she wanted to do something super special for her man who is deployed right now. I love that she incorporated his BDU's towards the end of the shoot - just proof that any outfit can fit into Boudoir. ;)
"Sarah and Jeni are fabulous!! I went into this experience nervous, not knowing exactly how I felt about it, and very self-conscious of my body but these two made me feel right at home instantly! Sarah did my hair and makeup beautifully and as I had requested on the questionnaire prior to the shoot date. Jeni is amazing behind the camera! She helped guide me through the entire shoot and made me feel more than comfortable. I was confident the pictures would turn out great but even happier than I could have imagined with how they all turned out. They are absolutely beautiful and I owe it all to Jeni and Sarah! They are pros and I highly recommend this experience and with these two to anyone who is considering it!"
It's been a minute since I have done a makeup blog, so I thought that I would come on here and tell you about all the products that I am loving right now! There are always new products coming out and I feel like I have to buy all of them and try everything. Here are some of my favorites that I have been using on almost all of our boudoir clients lately...
1. Foundation - Huda Beaut Faux Filter Foundation
"WHAT IT IS: A full-coverage cream foundation that visibly conceals blemishes and imperfections, for a filter-like finish.
WHAT IT DOES: Packed with a high percentage of ultra-refined pigments, the #FauxFilter Foundation visibly smooths and evens skin texture, diminishing the appearance of blemishes, scars, hyperpigmentation, and redness to create a flawless, airbrushed finish. Enriched with argan oil and centella asiatica—both known for their hydrating properties—this fade-proof formula blends seamlessly with skin leaving it matte, with a hint of sheen for a luminous appearance. Wear it alone for full coverage, or blend it together with the Huda Beauty Complexion Perfection Pre-Makeup Base Primer (sold separately) for an even more natural finish." According to www.Sephora.com
2. Concealer - Tarte Shape Tape
"WHAT IT IS: A best-selling, full-coverage, vegan, blendable concealer that instantly brightens, smooths & shapes skin.
WHAT IT DOES: Provides a flawless matte finish that won’t flake or crease, even if you have dry skin, fine lines, or pore problems – no setting powder necessary. Mango seed & shea butters naturally regenerate & illuminate all complexions, letting you play with light to lift your features." According to www.Tartecosemtics.com
3. Eyeshadow - Colourpop Super shock Shadows in Frog and Nillionaire
"Super Shock Shadow Our famous long-wearing crème powder formula with a unique bouncy-like texture. It's super creamy, insanely pigmented, and has one swipe intensity with zero fallout. According to www.colourpop.com"
4. Highlighter - Inglot Sparkling dust in 02
"This frosted loose powder is highly pigmented to provide the ultimate glow to any part of the body. Can be applied directly on eyes as an eyeshadow or mixed with lip gloss, nail enamel, foundation, moisturizer, or Duraline to add a touch of magic to one’s makeup." According to www.inglotcosmetic.com
5. Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel in 77
"Once applied, this buttery formula will not go anywhere. Boasting a smudge-proof, budge-proof, and crease-proof finish, this highly-saturated gel eyeliner has a continuing coverage that just won’t quit. " According to www.camerareadycometics.com
These have been my faves recently, hopefully, you guys can try them out and see how fantastic they are for yourself!
XOXO, Sarah
So, one of the most asked questions that we get from our clients is how Jeni and I met. Jeni and I have known each other now for over 10 years. We met at church at a small families group that we were both in. Jeni had moved down here from Washington DC with her husband and son, and I was pregnant with my first child. Jeni and I have both been in our line of work for over 15 years, so about 6 years ago we decided to collaborate. We both decided that boudoir was our passion, so we stopped doing weddings and are now focused solely on boudoir. We consider ourselves so lucky to have been able to found a job that seems more like a hobby than work, and we get to do it together! #workingwithfriends #ourstory
Miss T's session was nothing short of amazing. She made it a point to put herself first and we had a blast during her session. She wasn't afraid to try anything during her session! She is stunning and we loved every moment of her session and the weekend she spent here with us!! <3
"If it were possible to give ten stars I would! From the moment you walk in Jeni and Sarah are so welcoming and friendly, they truly take care of everything! The whole experience from beginning to end was amazing & I can't wait to be a repeat customer"
