I will not be doing any shooting starting the week of Thanksgiving and lasting through Christmas so I can enjoy the holidays with my family. However, during this time I will be scheduling sessions to occur in January for Valentine’s Day shoots.

Holla if you have any questions or would like to get your appointment scheduled!

Thanks!!

In the meantime, I want to show you yet another before and after transformation from the magic of Carrie Purser, the makeup and hair artist Utah Boudoir Photography refers clients to. Carrie is not just a cosmetologist with a makeup kit, gals. She’s the real deal. She does makeup for a few TV shows and media productions…she even did the makeup for Miss New Hampshire in the Miss America Pageant. And hello? Full body airbrushing for your session? Yes please!

She works in LA and Utah so if you want to book her for your session, let me know right away. She’s usually super busy and booked weeks or months in advance. Oh, and I don’t get any kick-backs for you hiring her so my opinion is not biased. I simply think she’s awesome so if it’s in your budget to hire her — do! you won’t be sorry. If hiring Carrie isn’t in the budget, no worries…I’ll still give you tips on how to prepare and how to wear your makeup when you book your session.

Until next time,

I had someone ask me what kinds of sets are available in the specials and since 99% of the shoots featured on the site were done in my humble studio, almost anything you see here is available. And probably a few you don’t see too (anyone brave enough to face the elements and do their shoot in a winter wonder land?!)

Here are some ideas of what you could do in your mini-session.

The first obvious choice would be our bedroom set where the possibilities are endless for flirtation fun!

The next most popular set I’d have to say is our pink seamless paper. The color is just so rich and really pops beautifully (and what says Valentine’s Day more than pink, right?). We can do a lot of fun things with or without my green vintage chair too.

We have a beautiful fireplace…

….and a steamy shower….

….sexy windows and light…

….and we can even do a lot of flirty fun things with the mirror or keep it simple with just showcasing you!

So, I hope that’s helpful to see all the endless possibilities. If you’d like to go ahead and book your mini-session, please send me an email right away as spots are booking up fast. My email is s[at]photographybyshay.com

Also, be sure to “Like” Utah Boudoir Photography’s Facebook page where updates and promotions are frequently posted.

What kinds of things you ask? Well, let’s just say there are some really cool new products I’m looking forward to showing you ….AND Valentine’s Day is right around the corner after all.

Stay tuned…. I’ll be back soon with some cool promotions.
(Pssst….a good way to keep in touch is via our Facebook page found here.)

Really what I’m getting at is that the office will be closed beginning next week (Christmas week) and will remain closed through the end of the year so I can spend some quality time with my family before they boycott me from being Mom (not that I can blame ‘em either).

Feel free to email me during this time and I will be sure to get back with you once the office opens again.

I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and a joyful New Year! See you in 2011!!! <3

So, I’m booked through the end of the year still and now am already *almost* totally booked through January for Valentine’s Day shoots (yay!)…I seriously only have a few slots left. However, I was thinking of leaving a Sunday open for mini-shoots if there is enough interest. Basically, it would be a 30-min shoot with 1 outfit and include something like five 5×7 prints. If I do this, would you be interested??
