Awesome San Diego trip

I don't know why I have such a tough time keeping this blog updated. Andy and I spent four days in San Diego last weekend. It was part mini-vacay and part photography workshop trip. We had the best time. And I learned a ton at the workshop. I am really getting into the boudoir side of photography and I just love it.

I get some really interesting reactions when I tell people that I am doing boudoir photography now. I get lots of "Oh, I could never do that," and "That's not really my thing," but I don't think women realize what it can really do for them. It's not about wearing lingerie or putting a sexy look on your face. It's about a woman doing something for herself! It is also about showing the woman that she is beautiful and sexy, even if there are parts of her body she doesn't like. Why not celebrate who you are right now?!

I had the opportunity to have my own boudoir photos taken by the workshop instructor, Michele Parsley. What an amazing experience! I got my hair (totally straightened!) and makeup done, including false eyelashes. It was so great to just sit there and enjoy the experience. And the photos that I walked away with are utterly amazing! I look at them and can't believe that I am looking at myself.... I look so beautiful!

All of you women out there should really think about it.... you won't regret it.... I promise!
