Help us out

So something I learned from our first shoot is that I need direction too. I don't know your favorite part or what you hate about your body. So what we would like you to do is Google boudoir photos and find poses you really like. Just give yourself some ideas. You can also go to our post about knowing your body for additional ideas. Also this may seem weird but practice facial expressions. If you know you don't do sexy well stand in front of the mirror and practice. Incredibly weird and awkward but so necessary. I don't want you to hate your pictures because you can't get the facial expression down. If you want us to do your hair and makeup look up different styles and show us what you want. We can do whatever you want but we can't read your mind. Show us what you want and we will make it happen.
Kylee did a really great job at everything and I loved her shoot. I'm so glad she was brave and showed off her sexy curves!

Some things I have learned

So we just did our first photo shoot and I learned a few things.  Most importantly when you come to do a photo shoot be prepared.  Have outfits you really like picked out and poses in mind you want to try.  If you can find pictures of poses bring them.  We can help you get into them better and it helps us find your vision.  We want to make you look your best.  Also be prepared to take direction.  Our first model was great at it!  Also if you feel like something isn't working say so.  Its your pictures and you need to be comfortable with what are having done.  And most importantly don't knock yourself down.  You are beautiful and we are going to repeat that to you and remind you of how amazing you look.  If we are on your team you need to be on your team.  Remember the person you're doing your pictures for knows you and loves your body just the way it is.  XOXO~Jordan

i'm an activist?

I think it is freaking funny that I am such a "love your body" activist because let's be honest I did NOT love my body for a long time. In fact some days I still hate my body. I look in the mirror and I see that fat roll or that cellulite and it literally makes me nauseous. Ali sees the look I give myself and  he has to tell me I'm beautiful just how I am. (He also tells me he likes "thick" girls so sometimes it doesn't help)
But honestly I know I am damn fine. I look at old pictures of myself and think wow I sure have changed and what changed was not only my appearance but what is on the inside. I am more positive now about my life. I know I can do things I couldn't do a year ago. Heck I ran three 5ks in the past year. I went hiking. I went shooting. I went to CUBA and walked EVERYWHERE! I just think it's crazy that I can do this.
And guess what I'm not a size two. I'm a 14 or 12 on a good day. I bounce between 209 and 215. I have lumps and bumps. I have sooo many stretch marks. But you know what I am so sexy I know I am. I just have to remind myself.

my strange celebrity

So I don't think I'm crazy obsessed with celebs then I look at my instagram (follow me adrienne_bone) and realize oh gosh I am crazy. At least half the people I follow are celebs. maybe I'm just stuck in fairy tale land wishing fame on myself. Or maybe I just like to keep up with their lives. But apparently I am star crazy
My favorite celeb right now is Khloe Kardashian. Oh goodness she is so beautiful. Sometimes I am so mad she lost so much weight because she was never really "fat." But at the same time she looks dang hot these days.
I was going through my feed and they have so many pictures from their new Kardashian Kollection line. Every picture is so sexy. I don't get how they are so freaking sexy but they are. They are fully clothed and not in any expectionally sexy poses but they look fab!

let's get comfortable

So most girls don't want to just strip down for strangers and have them take your picture so I figured I'd tell you a little more detail about myself. I am 23 and often forget my age. I tend to be immature and laugh at all the wrong things. I turn 95% of the things I hear into a sex joke. It's kind of a problem. I have an incredibly loud laugh (i got in trouble at work for laughing too loud.)  I can make some of the ugliest faces you've ever seen and when I get nervous I blush all the way to my ears.
As for some good qualities, I hate getting bad grades aka lower than an A. I love to make people laugh. I hate to see people sad and will try to make them feel better. I'm studying psychology and I LOVE the topic. I love talking about it and teaching people what I'm learning and trying to help them.

I tend to be the goofball

I don't like just smiling for pictures

My big family

This is my sweet happy family

Now don't let the stupid things I do discourage you from coming to our 'studio.' I can be professional. I will NOT half ass my work. I know what looks good and what doesn't. I have always loved photography and finding the right angles and lights and editing. I want to make you feel so comfortable and so sexy. Satisfying you is my goal. If you don't like what I'm doing just tell me and I'll change my style for you.

Come try us out. What do you have to lose?

Getting to know yourself

I have a way of knowing how to position people in pictures to bring out their best sides.  Its a gift really.  Finding the right angles and the proper positions helps you lovely's look stunning in your pictures.  If you don't feel like you know yourself enough to position yourself spend some time in front of a mirror.  Do subtle movements either tilting your head one way or another.  Arch your back or stick out your butt a little.  Find what works best and shows off your assets.  I know that I prefer a shot from the right side of my face rather than straight on.  Look at pictures online of poses you're interested in doing.  You never know how they will work for you until you try.


Here are some fun examples of Boudoir Posing

This is a classic pose and its great for the tease.

She is using her angles to her advantage here

This is fun because it gives you a different perspective on things

And who doesn't love a good silhouette picture?

Also dont be afraid to try different facial expressions.  I kept trying to get Adrienne to give me sexy and sultry but really it didnt look that way... ALSO find out what your partner finds sexy about you.  Is it a smirk?  A sexy little grin?  Do they find the way you laugh intoxication beautiful?  Knowing that will help make the pictures more bodacious and special for the receiver of the pictures!  

Heres some sexy facial expressions

sexy and i know it

Let's be honest most of us girls don't feel sexy. We are too self conscious about that mole on our shoulder, that stomach roll, our "chicken fat" and of course those extra chins. Even when our men or friends tell us we are hot and sexy we shrug it off and don't take that compliment in. As Jordan was taking my pictures she told me "wow you are beautiful." while editing she texted me "wow you really are flawless" Then after editing them she told me again. Every time she told me I just brushed it off. I thought "she has to tell me that. I'm her best friend" or "she just wants me to feel better." Basically I was talking myself out of feeling beautiful.

 How often do we as girls do this to ourselves? Why can't we accept compliments? We are constantly bringing ourselves down even though we have no reason to. We are comparing ourselves to everyone around us. The psych major in me wants to tell myself to stop. I KNOW comparing myself to others is the biggest cause of depression but I still do it. I look at people in class, people at work and random people on the streets and think, gosh I wish I had those legs, I wish I had that smile, I wish I had this, I wish I had that.

So let me tell you a little trick. Look at yourself in the mirror and say "I love this about myself" just list one thing every day. Try to find something different. Just doing this will make you feel soooo much better about yourself. Something else you can do is next time someone compliments you look them in the eye and say thank you. Not only will you feel better because you are giving true gratitude but they will also feel a slight burst of happiness because they got to share that with you. One last trick I'll give you, on those low low days when you just want to hate on yourself go get dressed up. Do your hair, do your makeup, wear a dress or your favorite outfit. Then go parade yourself somewhere. Go to the mall, the grocery store or just go on a walk. You'll be turning heads. It's hard to knock yourself down when you put the effort in and everyone is looking at you.

Be confident in yourself girl! No one has what you have! No one will ever be as sexy as you. Own it! "Work that updo!"

Lets talk about SEX baby!

I'm Jordan.  I'm married.  I enjoy a good Sexy Sunday.  BUT it wasn't always like that.  In fact I used to be shy about the business of being naked.  I am a curvy girl who is slightly insecure about her body.  We preach about loving your body and feeling comfortable with your sexuality and your inner Aphrodite.  But, SPOILER ALERT, I'm not.
So I'm going to be honest.  Sexy Sundays are now a tradition in our life.  We are one of those couples that lets life happens and time gets away from us.  We realized that at one point in time we hadn't been intimate with each other for 3 weeks.  Now I know things could be worse.
So I dug and I dug.  What could I do to make sure another 3 weeks wouldn't go by without a little fun with the mister.  I know that its fun to be spontaneous but something we have come to discover is that you should schedule your weekly intimacy.  We picked Sundays because we both work really weird schedules during the week and on Saturdays.  So Sundays became Sexy Sundays.  
Then recently we decided we should have another day during the week that it sporadically happens.  That way when one of us is in the mood we can initiate and if both of us are tired and not interested then we know we have Sexy Sundays.  Also the build up to Sunday is a lot of fun during the week.  A text here or a gentle graze there... It all adds to the build up.

NOW let me be clear about something.  Its advice I wish I would have been given early on and its advice to EVERY couple I know who gets married.  Talk.  Talk about what you like and what you don't like.  Talk about boundaries and what you want to try.  NEVER be afraid to try something new.  But if you do make sure both parties are willing to give it a try.  If you're not comfortable with it say so.  Compromise about what you are willing and not willing to do.

Next... Don't be afraid to bring in books.  Books are always helpful and there are some great ones out there.  

Also Toys.  That's right.  Toys.  There's a wide range and variety of toys you can bring into the bedroom.  I have enjoyed a few different types and will be the first to tell you that they are worth a shot.  

You Need the Right Fit

To prepare for this post I searched types of lingerie and I was surprised by how much I found. I'd heard of nighty, babydoll, corset, negligee and of course the bra/panty combination. However, that is just a small sampling of what falls under the term lingerie. After reading through the different terms and descriptions I learned I was calling what I thought was a babydoll a negligee and cheeky underwear boy shorts! These terms are very similar to each other so don't be too embarrassed if you are as confused as I was.

Most bodies can wear whatever they want. I'm not going to stay if you have a round stomach to ONLY wear corsets or tops that cover the problem area because you might be okay with it showing. You might like to show what the world would deem your imperfections  What is important in whatever you wear, not just lingerie, is to make sure it has the proper fit.

If you don't know your bra size I would suggest going to your nearest Victoria's Secret and getting measured. I would also suggest going to multiple people in the store to get measured. I have also heard that VS has a different measurement system than other stores. You can always go go to the lingerie section of Nordstrom, Macy's, JC Penny or Dillards (Any department store) to get measured. Whenever I get a new bra I get measured first, even if I got a bra at another store recently. After getting measured TRY THEM ON! Every bra fits differently. Don't just assume because it's a 38 C that it will fit like the last 38 C you had. It's a conspiracy! Just kidding but really every bra has a different fit on the band, straps and cups. Make sure the bra you are wearing is right for you.

As for panties it's a little more complicated. Unfortunately the panty companies are also forming a conspiracy against women. Every store, every style, every cut has a different fit. When you try on a pair of panties check yourself out from all angles. Check the waistband, make sure it's not giving you that unruly muffin top. Check the legs and make sure they aren't digging into your skin. At the same time you need to make sure the panties aren't going to fall off.

Sexy Tip of the Day

To make your shopping trip a little bit more fun, bring your significant other with you. Who doesn't like a sexy little tease in the store. If they can't accompany you then send them some quick pictures of yourself. This way they get a say in what you buy. To make it more interesting add a caption "thinking about wearing this for you. ;-)" Beware, don't just be a tease about these texts. Be prepared to give it up to him that evening. Add some real spice to your evening by wearing it when he gets home. Finish cooking dinner, setting the table or straighten the pillows on the couch, seeing you do these everyday tasks in your new sexy outfit will get him excited for the evening. Just make sure you turn the stove off before the evening gets too steamy.

Still not sure what to wear?

Don't worry!  There's a list for that!

We've compiled a list that will help you select the outfits you would like to bring to your photo shoot.

• You MUST bring your favorite corset or teddy! Whatever you feel most comfortable. That go to item in your naughty drawer.
• Something girlie. May we suggest pinks or purples. Lace. Polka dots. Something to make you feel young.
• Something white. ESPECIALLY if it is a bridal boudoir. White gives off the feeling of innocence. If you've been married for a while white will bring back the feelings from your wedding night.
• Panties that make your butt look sexy.
• A corset, who doesn't feel sexy in a corset that fits just the right way. Corsets are also great for those who don't like their stomach.
• His work uniform. Nothing is sexier than a man in uniform? Wrong. Try nothing is sexier than a woman in his uniform.
• The vest from this 3 piece suit.
• Costume jewelry. Some BIG bling, long strings of pearls, the first necklace he gave you.
• A jersey from his favorite team
• Button up white shirt. I don't know if you're a bachelor fan but one of the dates the girls took boudoir photos and then men picked who they thought was sexiest... They picked the girl in the white button up.
• Cowboy hat and boots.
• A tight thin white shirt
• High heels in different colors and styles to go with your outfits.
• Stockings
• Garters
• Fishnet stockings
• Things that represent his hobbies. (Sports memorabilia, books etc)

What were trying to say is that basically anything can be sexy.  Its all about the attitude, positioning, and finding the inner Aphrodite.  

Adrienne's First Time

When Jordan first approached me about doing Boudoir photos I was excited. As time went on I realized how nervous I was. I tried to put on a brave face but really I was just incredibly nervous. I don’t know why I was so nervous because for the most part I am comfortable with my body. I know Ali appreciates my “thick” shape. I know I look a lot better now than I used to (lost 40 pounds in the last 2 years!) I knew these pictures would just be for me to show myself that I can be sexy and I am beautiful. I did it to prove to myself that even though I am not movie star skinny or model skinny or even plus size model perfect I can be sexy in my own way. 
We went shopping to get some lingerie for the shoot. I assisted D’Andrew Lee in a boudoir photo shoot for my cousin and he was incredibly picky about the lingerie she used. He made sure it didn't look used and old which is quite understandable. To avoid the hassle of finding something that looked new I just went and got something new. After spending $65.00 at JC Penny’s I felt like I had a good assortment of outfits to show everything off the right way. 
We got to Jordan’s house and she began working on my hair, pin curls, what is sexier? After my hair we did my makeup. Some shimmery eyes and RED lips. When I looked in the mirror I was the epitome of sexy. It was now time to step into my first outfit. I got dressed and was still feeling incredibly uncomfortable in my skin. After a few pictures and Jordan’s wise words and advice on how to pose I began to get more comfortable. My second outfit was something I was SO excited for. I wore a Red Sox jersey over a red lace bra and pantie combo. It was incredibly hot. I looked at the unedited pictures on the camera and thought “is that really me? That can’t be me. I look sexy.” I was shocked. After seeing what I looked like I started to come out of my shell. Poses were coming easier to me. I was so excited for what I was doing! 
After the shoot Jordan and I went through the untouched pictures and there were quite a few that looked great. I was so excited to edit them. The next day I wanted to show everyone my pictures. I wanted them to see how good I looked. I brought it up with people and waited for them to ask me. I approached people and I said “want to see something you probably don’t want to see but since they’re so good you should want to see.” All of the reactions I got were positive. Talk about a confidence boost! 
In the end it was an incredibly positive experience. I didn't keep a sexy face the whole time. I got a lot of corrections from Jordan. I ended up laughing a lot. Of course there was a lot of readjusting. But it was unbelievably fun. That is why I have decided that we should make a business of it. Everyone in all shapes and sizes should do a boudoir shoot just to feel good about themselves!
