Check out Miss "J" and her cut boudoir photo shoot. She did the pictures for her groom as a wedding day gift. She also decided to stick with the colors black, blue, and white for the session.

It's a rainy day today and I wanted to show you guys two lights I like to use when sunlight is not available.

Victoria's Secrete just rolled out their Fall 2016 lingerie line and it's full of beautiful jewel tones like emerald, wine, and plum. They also have some awesome lingerie pieces with different necklines. This garter slip shows a unique neckline with the lace laying right on the collar bone.

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.

Miss "M" rocked her session! She has a spunky attitude and her cut haircut was perfect for the shoot.

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.

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.

Check out Miss "A" and her stunning boudoir session. She went with the Luxe session and had 2 makeup looks and unlimited outfits. I just love the pop of red she had in her session.

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.

Happy Tushie Tuesday!

Check out Brooke's before and after photos! I just love the makeup artists that I work with for boudoir photography. For this sexy boudoir makeup the artist did a smoky grey eye and a pink lip.

Miss "H" originally booked a swimsuit session out at the Great Salt Lake but then changed her mind and decided to do her shoot inside the studio instead. This is her 2nd time doing a boudoir session with me. My favorite outfit is the leopard print on the wood floor. Click here to view the complete Utah Boudoir Photography portfolio.

Throw Back Thursday! This week I'm featuring a photo shoot from December 2013 that was shot in my home studio 3 year ago! At that time I was using the entire first floor of my home to shoot boudoir.

For this weeks what to wear wednesday I wanted to feature a bright pop of color. Bold blue can be such a stunning color against your skin tone. This image features a simple blue slip.

It's Tushie Tuesday!

For this weeks #makeupmonday I'm featuring a gold smokey eye and light pink lips. Gold makeup looks best if you have blue eyes or if your skin tone is more warm.

Check out miss "K" and her sexy lingerie pictures! We tried out 2 new sets for her shoot. The first new set is the silver sequence backdrop and the 2nd one is the all white sheer drapes set up. Loved the results of both!

Check out Miss "L" and her stunning boudoir session. She brought as awesome cowgirl outfit that I just loved. We stayed with red, black, and white for the session. We also decided to shoot some classy nude images with the large fur blanket in the studio.

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.

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.

Check out miss "L" and her sexy boudoir session. Her best friends purchased the photo shoot for her as a birthday gift. They picked her up the day of the shoot and surprised her when they arrived. Her friends even brought lingerie for her to wear. She loved the entire experience.

Check out miss "J" and her stunning boudoir session. She has a similar hair color and skin tone to myself so I just loved her look. She decided to do a bright red lip color (my fav) and a variety of different outfits and looks. My personal favorite is the cream outfit.

Check out miss "K" and her stunning bridal boudoir images. I wanted to show off her photo shoot because she did some pics with the American flag and it's 24th of July weekend here in Utah.

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.

Check out miss "K" and her beautiful boudoir photo shoot! I love that she brought a black teddy because it's my favorite outfit to shoot on the red tufted headboard. She wanted to stick with natural tones like black, cream, and grey.
