Makeup Monday - Two Makeup Looks

October 3rd, 2016

Have you ever wondered if booking the Deluxe boudoir session is worth it for 2 different makeup looks and unlimited outfits? Well, here is what 2 makeup looks will give you for your boudoir session. The first look we did lighter on the eye makeup with no eye liner on the bottom and red lips to match 2 red outfits she brought. Then for the 2nd makeup look the artist smoked out the shadow and added liner to the bottom then smoked out some of the bottom of the eye. Then she changed the lip color from red to a soft pink.

What to Wear Wednesday - Santa?

September 28th, 2016

So, there has been much debate over the past 9 years that I've been shooting boudoir if some outfits are sexy or cheesie. The santa outfit is one of them. As soon as November and December roll around we start getting fully booked with boudoir shoots for Christmas gifts and then clients start to bring in red lingerie and sexy santa costumes. I've always been on the fence about an outfit like this. What do you think? Do you like the santa outfit or do you think it's cheesie? email me at opie@opiefoto.com and let me know how you feel.

Makeup Monday - Purple Shadow

September 26th, 2016

For this weeks Makeup Monday I wanted to feature a makeup look that has some color for the shadow. Our most requested makeup look is a smokey eye with grey, brown, or gold. This makeup features purple shadow. Purple is great to bring out the green in hazel eyes.

Salt Lake City Lingerie - Throw Back Thursday

September 22nd, 2016

Throw back Thursday all the way back to 2014 when I was still shooting boudoir out of my small house. I really did love my boudoir set up at home but once I hit 4-5 boudoir sessions a week it was just too much to keep running the business out of my house.

Salt Lake City Sexy Lingerie Photography - Photo Shoot Friday Miss "J"

August 26th, 2016

When Miss J asked if she could bring her husband's car for her boudoir photo shoot I wasn't sure what to expect. The car was awesome to photograph. Since the studio is located in downtown Salt Lake City near the Library and Trax we can get people coming up to us during a shoot if we want to be outside. So, we drove on I-80 West towards the lake and found a private spot just off the freeway to shoot the car. It's great when you can get both a studio look and some pics outside.

What to Wear Wednesday - August 17th

August 17th, 2016


When you're booking a session for boudoir photos, let us take care of the lighting, the camera and the angles. You just need to focus on what you like to wear. 

Here's a series of boudoir outfit recommendations that will help make the session more than memorable.



MAKEUP - Makeup can look different in the finished photos than it does in your mirror. Ask us what and how much makeup to wear. The makeup artist has a wide selection of colors available. A deep shade of red may provide the look you want while a lighter shade won't.



ACCESSORIES - Load up your accessories. Never mind that you may wind up bring a suitcase of necklaces, scarves chokers, garter belts, rings and so on. Sometimes the right accessory placed at exactly the right spot can turn a so-so photo into something that almost ignites the paper the image is printed on. 



SHOES - Bring shoes. Bring all kinds of shoes. Get a set of spike stilettos too. You're not going to be walking around in them. You might stand, but if you have to move, take them off, move and put them on again. Really high heels cause your calves to tense which provides definition in the pictures. There's a reason pin-up girls are often seen in stilettos or standing on the balls of their feet. It makes those legs look so sexy.



LINGERIE - Lingerie is a must. Find something you like. This is important. If you like it, that's going to show in the pictures. If you don't like it, you'll have to work much harder to make the images be worthwhile. Thigh high stockings with a garter belt might sound corny, but they are a mainstay in this kind of photography. Choose a few different colors, but black and white are almost can't-go-wrong colors.

Salt Lake City Utah Boudoir Photography - Photo Shoot Friday Miss "G"

July 15th, 2016

Check out Miss "G" and her stunning boudoir photos shot in the downtown Salt Lake City boudoir studio. I just loved her purple outfit from Victoria's Secret. She drove all the way from Rock Springs Wyoming because she said there are no Rock Springs Wyoming boudoir photographer's in the area. Crazy! I've had clients drive from Wyoming, Idaho, Moab, and Saint George for their boudoir photos. I feel so honor that these clients are willing to drive so far for their boudoir experience.

Boudoir Outfit Recommendations: How to Prepare for Your Shoot

July 6th, 2016

When planning for a boudoir photo shoot, it is a difficult task to decide what to wear. Here are some ways to make sure your shoot goes smoothly and you get the sexy photos you want. 

When looking for boudoir outfits, it is a good idea to ask the photographer for ideas, advice or examples. Especially when a photographer is well seasoned, they will be able to offer great tips and advice on what to wear. They have done shoots with many people, amateurs and professionals, and would know details as to what types of materials may not photograph well, what styles flatter certain figures and how many looks can be shot within your time frame. It is helpful to collaborate with the photographer so the photos come out as expected. If the photographer has one vision in mind and it strongly contrasts with your ideas, the photos may not turn out as you had hoped. Communication is key. 


Along with talking with the photographer, the internet is an amazing resource. The internet is a great place to look for outfit ideas. You may have things lying around your home that you never thought could be incorporated into your boudoir outfit. A pair of earrings, cuff or even simple black heels can transform a simple piece of lingerie into an interesting outfit. It's important to have an open mind and be creative. 


Lastly, and most importantly, boudoir is all about being sexy. Boudoir usually involves a sensual feeling mixed with mystery. In order to express that sexiness that boudoir requires, you will have to be comfortable. Although it may be tempting to go out and buy new outfits for your shoot, it's more important that you wear pieces that you know you are comfortable in. Pick the lingerie that you love wearing that you feel sexy in. Lingerie that doesn't fit quite right that requires adjusting every couple of seconds will only distract you.


Don't try to conform to someone else's idea of sexy. Although you may want to use the internet to get ideas, you don't want to attempt to recreate something exactly; it will never turn out exactly how you want. It's important to prepare ideas and then go with the flow. If you feel uncomfortable or you don't feel sexy, it will show in your photos. You want to exude sexiness and that means you have to wear something that you know you look good in.

July 1st, 2016

Check out Miss "P" and her stunning boudoir photo shoot we did 2 weeks ago! She picked a hot pink lip color to go with her hot pink garter slip. I love the warm tones on her skin - pink, champagne, white, cream. Those colors look great on someone with fair skin and blonde hair.
