Hey everyone, Just wanted to give you an update & let you know that there are still 2 more spots left for our Paris workshop at the $950 rate... after that, it goes back to the regular $1100 rate. Within a matter of a few hours we had 3 gals sign up for our boudoir workshop in the City of Lights! :) Thanks, ladies - can't wait to see you in Paris! To RSVP, email: info@boucherphotography.com Thanks!
***EDIT*** -- Sorry folks, we've had our first five lovely ladies already sign up. They are the lucky gals who are coming to our workshop in Paris at the discounted rate. Anyone else who signs up from here on out will get our regular price, $1100.
Just sent out a newsletter (unfortunately I think it was sent out from my personal email account, kimberlee@kimberleewest.com... rather than our normal Boudoir Divas email address... oops!) Sorry about that. That won't happen in the future. :) We've had a few email addresses that bounced back to us, so if you THINK you should be on our mailing list & haven't received an email, let us know by writing: info@boucherphotography.com (*but check your bulk/spam box first). Thanks!
******EDIT 7/30/08****** Dates changed to 4/1/09 - 4/4/09

This workshop will be much more in-depth than our workshops in the past. We will be covering: - Shooting on-location, for those of you who shoot in hotel rooms, we will be covering how to work with natural or existing light. - Shooting with the lighting and sets that we recommend and use in our studio - Posing (our favorite and most flattering poses) - Rapport with client during the shoot - The overall supermodel experience - Processing images (Photoshop, actions, etc) - Order Production - Album design - Marketing - Booking process - Products and pricing - Shooting a model in the streets of Paris (Boudoir fashion shoot) - One-on-one creating a biz game plan with a Boudoir Diva - "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" Together we will create a custom action plan and help you leave the workshop ready to churn a profit. - An engagement shoot in Paris with Marissa and Weston BOUCHÉR! (or possibly a bride & groom)
Oh, yeah... we've got our dates finalized for the Paris workshop and we're going to make the announcement before the end of the day! Check back soon...
Due to an overwhelming amount of inquiries & support for our PARIS workshop... we have decided to put a hold on our upcoming San Diego workshops for the rest of 2008. We are sorry to inconvenience any of you who were strongly considering the Aug workshop.
As for the Paris workshop - we are about to confirm the dates, it is looking like either the last week of March or first week or April! We will post as soon as we have the exact dates.
To all of you who have ordered a book this past month... THANK YOU for your patience! Any book orders placed from now on will be shipped out within a week of receiving payment.
We wanted to send a huge thank you to Jessica Claire & Keats Elliot over at Shootsac! We LOVE Shootsac! ;) Here are a few shots from our last workshop here in San Diego... And the winner of our Shootsac giveaway... Janet!
Here is a video clip of where we shoot most of our sessions. Before you watch I just wanted to apologize, it seems the harder we try to be professional the further away we get from just that. Oh, and I was just playing the video on my computer and realized that that the music was way too loud in the background! Sorry guys, hope you like J.T.!
The books were supposed to be here on Monday, well actually last Monday, well if we are really getting technical, the Monday before the Monday before that. To say our publishers are making us anxious is an understatement. BUT, there is good news. We have an official UPS tracking number and they will be arriving in 2 days! So if you have ordered a book we will be shipping it ASAP on Weds. We can't thank everyone enough for their patience in this waiting game. Thank you for the orders.
Marissa here again: I spotted these bad boys at the mall yesterday. It was like they called out to me..."I was made for a boudoir photographer." They look like edible candy and for $10 bucks who could say no. I was pretty stoked on Kimberlee's cool high heel pic done by Jasmine Star, and even though this is a blatant copy cat move, I know she won't be able to help but love my new boudoir kicks. And on that note, "kicks" is the perfect term because I will be "kicking" them off before I start shooting of course :)
There is so much we want to share with everyone about our studio and boudoir photography in general. We figured what better way than video! Video with info and tidbits to come next week.....
At our Woman Captured studio we are always updating our inspiration wall with random photos that stir us. This month it is a majority of "V" and "Vogue" magazine shots. The photogs always seem to break all the rules and create some seriously bad-ass stuff. Every time I feel like I get stuck in a rut all I have to do is pick up one those babies and I ready to rock!
