Haute Shots Spokesmodel | Las Vegas Boudoir

stacie — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:53:27 +0000

Announcing our 2012 Haute Shots Spokesmodel Search!

Why does Haute Shots need a Spokesmodel, you might ask?
I have found there are many times throughout the year that I need a ‘model’ to help me test out new ideas or to be photographed for promotional pieces. While I have always favored using my clients for these purposes, I decided that I need someone to have on hand for these situations. And, instead of hiring a model, I could find my own ‘model’ in a real woman, just like you!

What does being a Haute Shots Spokesmodel mean?
Our spokesmodel will be the face of our brand. She will have several photography sessions with us throughout the year and will be our muse for 2012!

What are we looking for?
Someone who will be our biggest cheerleader and a source of inspiration…our muse!
Must be between the ages of 21 and 60 years old.
Be comfortable enough with your body to pose in lingerie or for fine art nudes.
Have a fairly flexible schedule to be able to fit in our shoots.
Be willing to sign a model release, allowing us to share your images for promotions etc.
Must be free to do the test shoot on April 1, 2012
Being a fan of Haute Shots and Hera Beauty helps too!

What will you recieve?
Recognition as our Spokesmodel.
A minimum of 3 photo sessions.
Haute Shots promotional products.
A beautiful Photo Art Book full of your best 20 images from all of our sessions together.

How do you enter?
Please send an email telling about yourself and why you would like to be the 2012 Haute Shots Spokesmodel. Include two photos of yourself, 1 headshot and 1 full-body. These can be completely candid shots. Send email entries to info@hauteshots.com

How will this contest work?
Entries will be accepted until March 6, 2012.
After my arrival back from Dubai, I will announce 3 finalists on March 26, 2012.
The 3 finalists will be selected by Haute Shots and Hera Beauty.
The 3 finalists will all receive test shoots, an 8×10 print from their session and cute Haute Shots tank tops.
We will have a test shoot for all 3 finalists on April 1st.
Public voting will begin on April 16, 2012.
Our Spokesmodel will be announced on May 1, 2012!

Final decisions are being made regarding how the voting will take place, but we are leaning towards facebook or possibly pinterest.com. We will announce voting rules when that time comes.

Fun with the Fan | Las Vegas Boudoir

stacie — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:37:41 +0000

Digging up a favorite shoot from last year for this fine Saturday. I LOVED this session! Mrs. R came with a suitcase of meaningful props to use for her shoot….books, wine, and I brought her some gorgeous red roses. The first thing she pulled out was a book on Marilyn Monroe. This got my wheels turning, and when she pulled out a white negligee with a pleated skirt I went crazy with excitement! We could try to duplicate the famous Marilyn scene above the subway vents! Look how much fun we had with this!

Thank you Mrs. R for a fabulous time and for allowing me to share your beauty here.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun | Las Vegas Boudoir

stacie — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:42:59 +0000

For Mrs. S’s second shoot with me, I brought some fun props for her to play with…2 dozen coral roses, a bag of lollipops, a silver multi-strand necklace, butterfly ring, and a Haute Shots tank top as seen here. And, what fun it was! I couldn’t have asked for a better subject, as she was game for all of my ideas and she brought the cutest outfits too!

I can’t wait to begin formulating ideas for the next time Mrs. S! Love you lots! Thank you for giving me permission to share your images here.

Sexy Soirée Boudoir Workshop Model

stacie — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:00:59 +0000

Where do I even begin with the beautiful woman featured in this post? I feel like my life pretty much started with her actually! While I was growing up, my Mom and I moved almost every year or two during my schooling. The longest amount of time I spent at any school was for 3 whole years at Vail Pittman Elementary School (here in Las Vegas) during the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. I feel like I was able to make my closest friends there in all of my years in schooling because of this. I was particularly close with a group of 3 other girls, whom I have mentioned before as the Fighting Foxes. Our friendships carry on to this very day, although as adults we all have such busy lives that I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I’d like to.

So, when my friend Corinna told me she needed updated images for a Playmate event, I hopped on the chance to spend more time with this amazing person I am fortunate enough to call my good friend. Corinna has a heart of gold. She is literally one of the sweetest, kindest and funniest individuals I have ever met.

During our shoot, we danced, laughed and had the absolute time of our lives! We were both in awe over how both of our lives had ended up exceeding all of our childhood dreams. Never would we have imagined that I would become a boudoir photographer, and, hello?…who would have known she would go on to become Playboy’s Playmate of the Year?

Corinna has very kindly agreed to be one of our models for the upcoming Sexy Soirée Boudoir Workshop that Robert and I are teaching next month! This is actually a really big deal, as there is no way she would have done this if she were not such a great friend to me…it’s on her birthday, for crying out loud! She is such a good sport! One of our other fabulous Fighting Foxes will be modeling for us too. She is also a knockout, as you can see right here.

I love you Corinna! We are going to have so much fun again! It will be just like old times like the picture below! Hmm…on second thought, it will be even better! xoxo

Studio Session | Las Vegas Beauty & Boudoir Photography

stacie — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:59:50 +0000

I finally bought furniture for the studio space. It took me forever to find a set that was just perfect for this, but I stumbled upon the prettiest furniture over the weekend and knew I had to get it. I just had to test it out, so I enlisted my beautiful childhood friend from the Fighting Foxes (our small girls club in the 2nd grade). She and I had been wanting to shoot together forever so this was the perfect excuse to just make it happen! And, she was such a great sport! Especially for being game for a before picture! She looks AMAZING though even without her hair and makeup done. Lucky girl!

Because of our need to occasionally test ideas out like this, we will be announcing a search for a Haute Shots Spokesmodel soon. Stay tuned for the details.

Bridal Boudoir | Las Vegas Boudoir Photography

I was just fondly reminiscing about one of my bridal boudoir clients from 2011 and thought I’d share a couple of her detail shots. I am in love with her veil! But I adored her even more! She was a photography teacher, which made her session even more fun!

What’s Sexy Now | Las Vegas Beauty & Boudoir Photography

stacie — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:50:10 +0000

It’s been awhile since I posted a What’s Sexy Now installment. I thought posting one now would be a great way to ring in the New Year! This one features a very special guest, someone I have admired for some time now for her amazing fashion sense as well as her mad writing skills…the lovely, Laura Coronado.

What makes a woman sexy?
I think self-love makes a woman sexy. A woman who loves herself unconditionally – body and soul – is a woman who exudes sex appeal. And frankly, a woman who loves herself is easy to fall in love with. Confidence, strength, resilience and self-belief also make a woman sexy, but these things all stem from self-love.

Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Right now I think Sofia Vergara is the sexiest woman on earth. She laughs and smiles a lot. You can tell she is loving her life, and that’s super sexy. I also think Rita Moreno and Sophia Loren from the 1960s era were extremely sexy. Voluptuous with dark exotic features, that’s what I want to look like as a woman.

Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
The 1980s movie “Two Moon Junction” always sets me on fire. The tale of a pristine southern belle falling for a muscular, rugged, manly man who drives a rig and works at carnival and gets her to explore her passions and desires just really appeals to me. It’s like a naughty fairytale. Forbidden lust is hot.

Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
The song “Say Goodbye” by Dave Matthews never fails to get me in the mood. Again, the theme is forbidden lust. The song is about platonic friends who are attracted to each other allowing themselves one night of pleasure together and saying goodbye in the morning, sharing a sexy secret forever. It’s a fantasy I’d love to act out with my hubby. (Grabbing my bucket list now!)

Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
Two words: Tom Ford! And I mean all of it – cosmetics, accessories, fragrance and the women’s fashion. The man is a magician, and everything he does for women is done with the intention of making us feel sexy. He succeeds at that, too!

Sexy destination:
This may sound crazy, but for me, New Orleans is one great town for getting down. I don’t know if it’s the swamp humidity in the air, or the sensual jazz music, or the hurricane cocktail drinks – or all of it combined together! But New Orleans puts me in a really sexy mood.

What makes you feel sexy?
There are three things I do to make me feel sexy, and each is done to put focus on what I think are my three best physical attributes. One, because I have green eyes, I apply my eyeliner as perfectly as possible and wear loads of mascara. This puts extra emphasis on my eyes. My husband loves that and I feel like a sex kitten. Two, I’m luckily, naturally endowed. And I am not shy about showing off the girls. I love revealing a bit of cleavage. It makes me feel very womanly. Lastly, I have a derriere that complements my bust line. So I love to shake my hips while dancing, or jut a hip out while standing or innocently bend over. My husband loves my round behind, and when we’re out together and he rests his hand on the area where my butt protrudes from my lower back, I feel like he’s claiming ownership of it, and that makes me feel irresistible and desirable.

About Laura Coronado:
Laura Coronado is a Las Vegas fashion blogger with her own website at www.lollieshopping.com, where she blogs about fashion, style, shopping and beauty. She loves designer bargains and writes about the latest in sales and Vegas retail news for the magazine Vegas Seven. She is also a contributing writer for Vegas Rated magazine and for the website Inspiratoblogs.com. Coronado has been married for 18 years to that game guide author guy Dan Birlew.
