Miss "E" Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir

2015 was such a year of growth for us and we are so grateful to you all for that!  So many of you pushed through your insecurities and comfort zones this year with us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Miss E was one of those ladies who  came to us and trusted enough to create an amazing gift for her hubby. She seriously gets a huge high five  for completely rocking her session!  She handles herself with such confidence and a charisma that we loved.  We're very confident this was the best gift her hubby's EVER received ;)

The Anonymous Miss K ::: Orange County Boudoir

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas break! This busy season was definitely the busiest we've ever had and we loved every second of it, but after quite a few boudoir sessions in a very short amount of time, we certainly needed a few days off to recoup, re-energize,  and spend time with our families.  Now after having a few days off - we're ready to get back to work and share some gorgeous images with you guys!   First up is the mysterious Miss K... she is letting us use her anonymous images- and we couldn't be anymore elated about that!  She really pushed past her comfort zone for this and her enthusiasm to try anything was refreshing and she glowed during her session.  

M.I.A. - We're still here!

Holy smokes!!  It's been a month since we've blogged, you guys!  No, we're not on our death bed.  We're not even sick!  What we are is insanely busy!  Like, for real, head spinning busy.  If we're not shooting a session, we are editing, scheduling viewing sessions and prepping for 2016.  Oh yeah, we also have families, holidays, and birthdays - lots of birthdays in Nov & Dec for both of us!!  Phew!  But in one breath, we owe a big fat thank you for that busy-ness AND an apology for being M.I.A!  2015 is ending with a big resounding boom for us here!!  We promise to catch you up with everything as soon as we come up for air. We are so freaking!!! excited!!!! for 2016.  

But for now, here are a couple sneak peaks of some sessions we will be blogging in the next couple weeks.

Is boudoir porn?

NO!

There is absolutely no comparison between boudoir and porn. The intention of porn is to be sexually exhilarating; the audience is paying for pleasure. Boudoir is meant for the eyes of the subjects choosing, for the purpose of enjoying sensual beauty. At Eye Kandie Boudoir, we create tasteful classy images. Some clients request the "illusion" of topless, but we do not create fully nude photos. 

The bottom line is, Boudoir is for a select audience. It is a celebration of beauty. It is artistic, elegant and classy. 

No Regrets ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Miss A

More often than not, clients email us telling us they've been wanting to do a session for such a long time and they've FINALLY decided to gather up the courage and book a shoot!  Boy does that make us happy! Every one of our clients have come to us a tad (or a lot!) nervous, and trust me, I GET IT!!  I mean, c'mon, it's to be expected. Stripping down in front of someone is hard enough, but to do it when that someone has a CAMERA? In your face?? Yeah, again, it's to be expected that you'll be nervous. But don't let those nerves stop you, let them guide you to excitement and adventure!  Just like Miss A did!  She'd wanted a shoot.  But she waited ... and waited.  Finally, she realized that she wasn't going to regret doing the shoot ... she'd regret NOT doing it!  So she finally emailed us.  Bravo, Miss A for getting out of your comfort zone and letting your nerves guide you, not stop you!

Do it for you! ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Miss K

Miss K stole our hearts right from the get go with her first email to us:

I have been dying to do this for a long time but haven't felt brave enough for it yet. I've recently come to a point in my life where I'm learning to fall in love with myself again and not depend on the approval or love of any man. I've always been tagged as the "good girl" or "so sweet" girl. It's true that I have a good heart and care for others but I'm more than that. I'm a woman who feels sexy and has the same desires and needs as any other woman. At times I feel that I'm not supposed to feel this way or be desirable because it's not appropriate but I'm only denying myself. I feel sexy sometimes and would be honored to have it captured.

That right there is why we do what we do and why we LOVE it!  

“The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet.” –Mohadesa Najumi

She wasn't going to let anyone (including herself!) make her feel bad about wanting to feel desirable. Nor should she. She was doing it for HERSELF, to uplift her soul.   Boudoir isn't just about sexy photos.  It's about proving to yourself that you are more than just a mom, a wife, a housekeeper, a shuttle service , or a {insert whatever label you want here}.  It's proving to yourself that you are a confident, amazing, gorgeous, feminine, bad-ass and sexy WOMAN period! The first step is always the hardest.  But once you take that first step, you'll quickly realize how the rest of you, just, ... follows.  Life is short, go ahead and take that leap!

Miss K was phenomenal in front of my lens! She made my job so unbelievably easy. Thank you for bringing your A game, Miss K, and thank you for bringing those stunning red bottom shoes and the killer fishnet gloves and stockings!  Just see for yourself...

 

We're all guilty of it...

We rob ourselves of memories.  We all do it.  We happily snap photos of our kids, loved ones, etc., but we're not IN them.  Why? Because we weren't camera ready.  Our mascara was smudged, or (gasp!) we didn't have any on at all!  Our hair wasn't styled and we weren't dressed to have our photo taken!  Does this sound like you?  Are you a photo-dodger too??   Well, how about we stop doing it!  Just this morning, I let my husband take a photo of me with the kids while we were snuggling in bed before getting ready for school.  My hair all bed-head, not a stitch of makeup on.  I almost hid under the covers until I noticed my 11 year going under there first.  He was about to hide himself. And that hurt my heart.  I knew I only had myself to blame, though. How many times has he seen me do that? But 30 years from now, when he sees that photo, he's not looking at me with no makeup on my face, or his brother's bed head, or his own sleep puffy eyes.  He's seeing a precious memory.  Being IN the photos is something I encourage us all to do! Myself included.  Whether or not you think you're picture perfect at that moment in time. I guarantee you 10, 30, 60, 90 years from now, your kids will think you're picture perfect.  We're not guaranteed anything in this life, especially TIME.  Photos=lifetime memories.  Stop robbing yourself of that! And I will too! :)

To put our money where our mouth is, though,  I thought I'd post a few photos from our recent head shot session.  The pictures below probably represent us more accurately than the one we posted for our "about us" page.   Are they picture perfect?  Not even a little bit.  But they do make me smile!
