Sneak Peek into the Modern Black Book...

Happy Friday! Here's delicious little glimpse into The Modern Black Book, a simply gorgeous album (and my most popular item!) from my studio. Sleek and luxurious, this fine art book showcases your boudoir images at their very best. Offering full centerfold-style pages, it's guaranteed to impress...and stop a few hearts! Now that we're gearing for fall (I know, I know, did you see the new fashion collections out already?) it's only a hop, skip and jump away from the holidays. Remember, albums take a little extra time to beautifully craft so it's best to book at least two months in advance. So take a sneak peek and start thinking about some possible gifting ideas- either for yourself or your dearly beloved. Also great for birthdays, anniversaries or a personalized groom's gift! Hopefully you'll get inspired to create your own stunning visual memoir. And who doesn't deserve their gorgeousness captured in timeless photos? You certainly do! :) xoxo Kelly

Into the Jungle

Continuing the inspiration theme for this new year, I'm posting some lingerie ideas for upcoming Valentine's sessions! Here's one of my favorite styles~ the leopard print. Vampy and glamorous, this look has a retro feel and can bring out the inhibition in even the tamest personalities! Style with some gorgeous waves and red lipstick (like this image of Rosie Huntington-Whitely), this will surely make any heart beat a little faster! And remember, all early 2012 clients get an exclusive 20% Off coupon for Dollhouse Bettie (winner of Best Lingerie Boutique by The Lingerie Addicts Blog), so check them out for some great leopard styles! Stay tuned tomorrow for another inspiration! xoxo Kelly
