Featured in New Boudoir Book | For Photographers
So excited and proud to be featured as one of the three top pro boudoir photographers featured in Ed Verosky’s latest book, “Boudoir Photography: The Quick-Start Guide For Professional Photographers”. Ed offers great educational tools for photographers that are reasonably priced and full of value. This book is no exception. He goes into great detail on all subjects pertaining to boudoir and gets other opinions (including mine! woohoo!) on the same subjects too. It’s quite entertaining and educational! Ed is a wealth of knowledge and always so generous in sharing. This is something I adore about him. If you are a budding boudoir photographer, you are sure to find lots of great info in this book and I hope that I helped play a part in that. Thanks for inviting me to share Ed! You rock!
Boudoir photographers, be sure to keep an eye on my blog for more exciting news to be announced at later dates. Woohoo!

Mystery Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
A sense of mystery always adds appeal to boudoir photos, so I was definitely up to the challenge of creating some anonymous type shots for the stunning Mrs. D. I couldn’t have asked for better circumstances for a photo shoot. Not only was she absolutely gorgeous, she was so graceful with her movements, she had beautiful expressions, she brought the most fabulous attire and she had the most amazing suite to shoot in!
Thank you Mrs D for such a great time and a special thank you to both you and your husband for giving me permission to share these gorgeous images!

Mrs. G was an absolute doll! She was yet another one of those gals who entertained us nonstop with her incredible stories. She had us giggling while she was being pampered while having her hair and makeup done but once the camera was on her, she turned into a sultry vixen. I was so impressed by her!
Thank you Mrs G for being so much fun and for allowing me to share your images!

Ms. F was just as sweet as could be and as gorgeous as they come! I was surprised by her energy, after an 8 hour drive to get to the shoot and appreciated her enthusiasm as a willing partner in making pretty pictures together. She was such a joy to photograph!
Thank you Ms F for such an enjoyable boudoir session! You were absolutely delightful and I LOVE your images! And, thank you for giving me permission to share them here.

Caretaker | Las Vegas Boudoir
Women are accustomed to looking after so many others in our lives, as it’s in our nature to be nurturing, but Ms. W is exceptionally caring. I was so impressed with her and thrilled that there are people in our world like her who go above and beyond to help others in need. She has a heart of gold and is as sweet (and pretty!) as can be. I’m happy she took the time to do something caring for herself and the love in her life by doing a boudoir session with me!
Thank you Ms. W for being such an inspiration and for allowing me to share these images here! xoxo
And thanks to Hera Beauty for hair and makeup.

Southern Girl | Las Vegas Boudoir
Really getting back to my Texan roots lately with so many clients flying in from my birth state (Texas) and doing shoots with me! I think there were about 4 Texas beauties within a week and a half! They actually made me miss living there a bit. You girls were all so sweet and fun to be around!
Mrs. B was one of those gorgeous southern girls who came as a referral from yet another client from Texas! She did her boudoir session while her husband was busy during the day with a convention for work. She won me over instantly with her gentle and calming demeanor and it felt like I had known her forever. Super easy to work with, she was a true classic beauty with legs for miles! Yet she was unaffected by her own beauty which I found completely endearing.
Thank you Mrs. B for being an absolute delight to work with! And thank you for giving me permission to share your images here.

A Beautiful Smile | Las Vegas Boudoir
I always say I have the best clients and while I am sure others say that too, I really believe it’s true in my case! My clients are more than just ‘clients’, they actually become friends! Working with them so closely, we learn a lot about each other in a short amount of time and I end up genuinely caring about each and every one of them!
Mrs. B was no exception. She scheduled her shoot with me for when she was coming into town all the way from Washington. She had the most amazing stories that kept Hera Beauty and me completely fascinated during her time with us. We all adored her quick wit and no-nonsense attitude. Her smile reminded me of Jessica Biel…it just lit up the room! Oh, and did I mention she is a fellow photographer? I felt so flattered that she chose me to do her her boudoir session!
Thank you Mrs. B for such a fabulous photo session! You are truly an amazing woman! And thank you for allowing me to share your pretty images here! You rock!

A Natural | Las Vegas Boudoir
Beginning to feel a bit more caught up now…yay! So, let’s get this blog ball rolling again, shall we?
Mr. K arranged this shoot for his incredibly gorgeous wife and himself. Yep, we had a couples session even though I had told myself I wasn’t going to do couples sessions anymore. Here’s the thing, he was so incredibly respectful of me as an artist and the whole process that I knew they were legitimately interested in the art of a session and not a cheap thrill. I get lots of inappropriate requests that make me pretty uneasy about the whole thing, but I am so happy I did this one! These two were amazing! Of course, I had to do some shots of Mrs. K by herself too because to me, all of my photo sessions are really about the woman…and what a pretty woman she is, right? So happy I got to play a part in their trip to Vegas!
Hera Beauty and I were so impressed with Mrs. K that we had to pick her brain about her diet and workout routine. She just might have changed our lives! She recommended the Eat-Clean Diet series of books and cookbooks by the inspirational Tosca Reno. We all ran out and began incorporating some of those principles and recipes into our diets. My favorite so far is the Moroccan Chicken and Lentils recipe…yum! Thank you Mrs. K for inspiring my team and I to get healthy!
Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. K for such a rewarding photo session! You two were so awesome! And thank you for allowing me to share these images!

Beauty for the Blog | Las Vegas Boudoir
Wow, I am so very behind with blogging! I always try so hard to stay on top of it to be able to share a little beauty from recent sessions with you all, but I am busier than ever and finding my blog almost impossible to tend to at the moment. Processing shoots and fulfilling lots & lots of orders are my priority at the moment. But, I just couldn’t let my little blog be so neglected anymore. So, I hope you all will enjoy these lovely images of an incredibly gorgeous client of mine.
Ms. P had walked in the door for her session and I recognized her instantly! We had met about a year prior at a little cocktail party! I remembered thinking how beautifully she would photograph when I first met her – she has the most amazing bone structure! And, I was right! Look how much the camera loves her!
Thank you Ms. P for a fun shoot! Hope to run into you at another party or boudoir session again one day! And, thanks to Hera Beauty for doing a fabulous job, as always, on hair and makeup!

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
Welcome to the latest installment of my What’s Sexy Now series! So proud to have this month’s guest, Alison Wainwright. Alison is a successful female business owner in our fair city of Las Vegas. She is also an activist for animals, which I love about her! 2010 was a big year for Alison as she was named one of the “40 Under 40” (“40 most ambitious, talented, and influential leaders in Las Vegas under the age of 40″), recognized in SEVEN Magazine as ”Best in the City”, and also received Congressional Recognition for “Recognition of Outstanding Contributions to Business in Southern Nevada”. Quite an accomplished gal! I was so happy when she agreed to contribute here!
Please extend a warm welcome to Alison! Hope you enjoy her thoughts on What’s Sexy Now below:
- What makes a woman sexy?
Confidence makes a woman sexy AND beautiful. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who walks into a room and knows what she wants. I have seen women in all shapes and sizes other than what society tells us is sexy and her confidence turns all heads. You can see a woman who feels confident about who she is from across the room. Natural beauty is also sexy, unaltered natural women are more beautiful. A woman can be sexy in sweats, its all about inner beauty.
- Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Nicole Panattoni may not be super famous, but some people know her from America’s Next Top Model and The X Life. Nicole is the wife of Cory Nastazio, pro-BMX rider. I have aways thought Nicole embodies sexy. She is down to earth, has natural beauty, and seems like a very sweet, all American girl. She seems very sweet but she’s on top of her game.
- Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
I thought that the movie “Unfaithful” was sexy. Though the story is about a married couple and the wife being unfaithful (which is not sexy) there was so much passion and love between the characters. Passion is always sexy.
- Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
- Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
High black heels
- Sexy destination:
A quiet restaurant or bar with wine and candlelight always does the job. - What makes you feel sexy?
Compliments are always nice and they will always do the job, but what makes me feel the most sexy is a suit! Wearing a business suit makes me feel confident and beautiful, and always turns heads.
About little about me (Alison):
I am the CEO and President of Las Vegas Mannequins, a Las Vegas based display company which rents and sells mannequins, forms, steamers and hangers in Las Vegas and nationwide. (She is also owner of Las Vegas Wigs!)
Thank you so much for contributing here Alison!

Bikini Season is Upon Us | Las Vegas Boudoir
For the first time in my entire life I am living at a house that has a swimming pool. Exciting, yes, but also a bit terrifying since our backyard opens up for all of our neighbors to see as well as people in the park out back and those who utilize the walking trail. So with summer upon us I am having a bit of a panic attack. I am nowhere near being bikini ready, especially when put on display!
So, when Whitney (of Hera Beauty) text messaged me last night that MotivFit was running a special for another Body Blast class, I knew I had better take advantage of this. You can read about our prior experience with MotivFit here and here. I am the wimpiest person ever, so if I can do it, so can you! In fact, I would love if a bunch of you joined us!
MotivFit is offering a phenomenal deal for Body Blast which runs 3 days per week for 4 weeks. Whitney and I are planning on doing their morning classes at Anthem Hills Park in Henderson every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30am.
For more information on this class go here. To go ahead and register, click right here. This class is being sold for $69 (normally $199) until 4/17/2011 at 12am so hurry and register! I would LOVE to see you there!

While Her Husband is Away | Las Vegas Boudoir
This was one of those photo sessions that reminds me why I love boudoir so dearly. I was originally contacted by Mr. G who was looking for something to occupy his wife’s time with while he was busy at a convention for work during their time in Las Vegas. Mr. G arranged the whole thing for his beloved wife by email and said the loveliest things about her. I absolutely adore hearing how husbands speak of their wives when they treat them with a boudoir session!
An important aspect for all of my photo sessions is that my clients are just as invested in their boudoir experience as I am so I was pleased to see that a relationship was building right from the start via open communication. Mrs. G gave such thoughtful and interesting answers for the questionnaire I emailed her which helped me get to know her better and to be able to tailor her session more specifically towards her taste.
When the morning came for Mrs. G’s shoot, it felt like I was meeting up with an old friend. She was one of the most naturally sexy women I have ever encountered. She brought the ‘sexy’ without hesitation. It was ‘game time’ and she knew she would get the most out of her session if she tossed any inhibitions aside for the duration of her shoot. I appreciated her trust in me & my vision for her photos and her willingness to give it her all. And, she didn’t even blink an eye when I asked her to do a few sexy dance moves for video to incorporate into her slideshow! Go Mrs. G!!!! She is one heck of a gorgeous gal, isn’t she?
Here is what Mr & Mrs G had to say after Mrs. G’s photo session:
“We desired a few sexy pics for a keepsake and what we found is a dream world of art and fantasy!! Stacie is truly amazing, professional, sincere and over the top when it comes to creativity in finding the right poses for a woman. We have never been happier from start to finish in anything we’ve ever purchased in our 25 years of marriage! She came highly recommended and we are eager to do the same. We’ve only been home for two days and we’re talking about what the next photo shoot will cover! Not only did we have fun but we feel like we made a true friend!”
Our Best – MR & Mrs G
Thank you Mr G for arranging this! I am so very honored to have worked with Mrs G and am so thankful to the two of you for giving me permission to share your story and the images here. You two are AMAZING! And, congratulations on such a beautiful, long-lasting (while still fresh & fun) marriage! I was completely inspired by you both and can’t wait for shoot #2!

Fierce and Fabulous | Las Vegas Boudoir
Ms. R is one of those feline-like females who just oozes sex appeal – not in the basic form of sensuality either, but in a sophisticated manner that very few possess. She has a confidence about her that is awe-inspiring and a fashion sense to be envied! She brought the hottest little Herve Leger dress that we were all oohing & ahhing over! This girl also knows how to smoke a cigar like a champ! Our time together was a bit rushed so I worried about her puffing away continuously for the sake of the photo, but she pulled it off brilliantly! Consider me impressed!
Thank you Ms. R for a fun morning and for giving me permission to share your imagery here. You rock!

Beauty and Brains | Las Vegas Boudoir
Some of us are blessed with either a little more beauty than brains or a little more brains than beauty. But, this girl has the best of both worlds! I was floored by her striking good looks and smitten by her wisdom. Her humor is dark & witty and she has a mystery about her that is absolutely enthralling. How lucky was I to get to spend a couple of hours with such a girl?
Thank you for allowing me to share your gorgeous images here on my blog Ms. C! I hope we get to work together again soon!

For Other Photographers | Las Vegas Boudoir
I am head over heels in love with photography and absolutely adore running my own business. Both of these things bring me ridiculous amounts of joy that I feel so very grateful for every single day. My life was never easy and it was a long, hard road getting here, but persistence, honesty and hope brought me to the point I’m at now. I worked very, very hard to get here. I realize there are no shortcuts in life. But persistence definitely pays off and it begins to feel like life rewards you for persevering through the trials that lead you to your calling.
Unfortunately, there is an ugly side to running a photography business too. I am consistently shocked at how shady some people are by stealing images, copy from my website and even stealing my hard-earned client testimonials. You also get some who try to acquire your price list by acting like a potential client and even some who go as far as sending a ‘faux client’ to get the inside scoop on my business. I just don’t understand why people feel the need to do this.
Running your own business, especially a creative one such as Photography should be a fun and unique experience. You should have enough photos that you are proud of (that you have taken on your own) to use in your portfolio if you are promoting yourself as a professional photographer. And you should feel passionate enough about what you do that words just flow naturally when describing your business on your website and to others. And, if you are doing a job well done, testimonials will come naturally, and often! Testimonials are a reward for your hard work. Just let them come to you. Most of all, remember to be an original! People don’t want to hire a person trying to be someone else. They want to hire YOU, (yes YOU) if you will allow yourself to shine genuinely for everyone to see. And, if these things just aren’t there for you yet, then just keep photography as a hobby until you are more ready. Nothing wrong with that at all!
So, in trying to think of a solution for all of this, I realize that maybe I could possibly help those of you who feel stuck and might be contemplating doing something unethical as I spoke of above. I get a lot of requests to offer workshops. Is this something many more of you would want? Would you rather I write a book? Or make myself available for mentoring?
I really just want to see everyone reach their own potential, which is unique for all of us. I definitely don’t want to see our industry going down the tube because of a few bad apples either.
So, please tell me, how can I help you?

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
It is rare for me to find boutique style stores in Vegas that I adore, but when I stepped inside Patty’s Closet I fell in love immediately!

And, I was so impressed with how helpful they are there! They always make sure you find just the right things! The more I learned about the store and the owner, Patricia Barba, the more I knew I had to have her as a guest in our What’s Sexy Now series!

In Her Own Words | Las Vegas Boudoir
Haute Shots and Hera Beauty were so fortunate to work with a very special lady whom I thought could better explain her boudoir experience in her own words (below). I think so many women can relate to her story. Introducing the beautiful Ms. T:
“Of all the different roles I take on in my daily life, the one that portrays the, ‘attractive, sexy, confident, woman’ has lay dormant for a very long time. After so many years of doing things for everyone else, I had lost part of myself and needed to do something just for me. I pushed fear aside, stepped out of the box and booked a photo session with Stacie. Though I walked into the shoot feeling nervous and average, I walked out feeling amazing, confident and ready to conquer the world. From the make-up and hair session, through the shoot and afterwards, Stacie made me feel at ease and beautiful. The pictures turned out more wonderful than I ever imagined possible. Every time I look at my photos my spirit and confidence is renewed and I celebrate who I am right now. Thank you Stacie!!” ~Ms. T
Thank you Ms. T for allowing us the opportunity to work with you! It seemed apparent to me that you have been a gracious giver your whole life, making sure others were happy and that it was time to reclaim your own joy and beauty. You truly are an inspiration and we had so much fun with you during your time in Vegas! Thank you so much for not only allowing me to share some of your gorgeous images but also your fabulous story! We adore you!

About Photography Podcast | Las Vegas Boudoir
Recently I was honored to be a guest on Ed Verosky’s About Photography Podcast series. Ed picked my brain about the business of boudoir, Vegas-style. I had so much fun doing this podcast with him. I absolutely love my job and adore my clients so once I got over my initial nerves I thoroughly enjoyed getting to talk about my world of boudoir! Ed was a fantastic host who put me right at ease (he is also a very accomplished and talented photographer). I can’t wait to do it again!
I truly hope that budding photographers as well as experienced photographers will find something in the podcast useful or interesting. Some of the things I mention in the podcast that I think are worth expanding on here for other photographers are:
Marketing:
Stop following other boudoir photographers and research instead big brands that share your target audience. We have a huge problem in our rapidly growing industry right now with copying. Newbies are copying websites word for word, using others images, marketing campaigns, etc. Big no-no. Instead, find inspiration that you can make your own. Another marketing tip is to invest in a graphic designer for your marketing material, website and logo. It will make a huge difference, I promise!
Photography:
The same could be said for finding your own style of photography. Look towards other photography niches to find inspiration….fashion, glamour, beauty, even weddings. It seems as though some of the masters of photography are being overlooked in favor of new photographers. But, you can find so much inspiration from the likes of Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Ellen von Unwerth, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Peter Lindbergh, and Mario Testino to name only a few. Just remember not to copy them but to find inspiration from them.
Portfolio Building:
I know my comments regarding using models may not be popular in my industry but it is something I feel very strongly about. If your target audience is real women who are not accustomed to posing in front of a camera and who have realistic body types for the average woman, then you really shouldn’t be shooting models for your portfolio. You lose the potential to learn how to work with body issues, self esteem issues and won’t be prepared for the real thing when it comes along. It’s a bit deceiving for women who are contemplating using you. It could potentially hurt your clients sense of confidence if you are unaccustomed to working with real gals not used to being in such a vulnerable situation. If you insist on using a model for these purposes, please include a disclaimer that she is in fact a model. On the flip side, if your target clientele is actually models then obviously this is perfectly fine or if you have personal artistic projects. This is just my opinion, of course, but I do feel very protective of women looking for a photographer who understands how to work with them individually, with their fears and perceived flaws.
So, there ya have it. My first podcast interview! I’m absolutely thrilled and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did doing it!
Comments are always welcome and appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions at all and I would be more than happy to answer them.
xoxo

WPPI Recap 2011 | Las Vegas Boudoir
I am still reeling from the excitement of this past week! I learned so much, met so many amazing people (Jerry Ghionis & Robert Evans!!! – to name only a few), and was going nonstop from about 5am till 2am most days that I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it all. WPPI filled me with so much knowledge, ideas and insights even though I couldn’t attend half of what I had originally thought I could. There was just too much going on!
A few highlights:
• Having my image featured on products at a vendor booth to highlight their new presentation boxes (see image above – taken with my iPhone)! This was such an honor to have my work selected for this, recognized and showcased this way!
• Getting to know some of my vendors at the parties! I truly work with the best of the best! This was absolutely reaffirmed when I got to know them personally
• Spending time with my fellow boudoir photographer peers from forums. We are all so lucky to get to do what we do, aren’t we? It was very important to me to make sure to spend time with these gals. Glad I was able to find the time to do it!
• Getting to know some local photographers in different niches. I see the importance of networking with you all and helping each other grow. For this, I am very grateful.
• Finding amazing new products to offer! Oh my goodness, hold on to your seats everyone…I can’t wait to get some new samples to show you!
• Learning, learning, learning….from the technical side to the business side of photography, I gained so much knowledge!
• My favorite classes were by Brian Smith and Jose Villa! Both so inspiring and informative!
• I also enjoyed the Women in Contemporary Photography panel discussion!
With all of that said, be sure to watch for some big changes to be coming soon for Haute Shots! My aim has always been to provide you with the best experience possible but it’s about to get even better!!
Glad to be back in the office. Time to play major catch-up now!
