Did you know that every anniversary year has a name and a specific gift? So, on each anniversary, the couple is supposed to exchange gifts based on a certain material. Guess what the traditional gift is for the first wedding anniversary: PAPER! Now, I know what you’re thinking – paper? What kind of anniversary gift would I give that involves paper? Well … there’s stationary, a sweet hand-written note, printer paper … OR ... A Boudoir Album. Just imagine your new-husband’s face when he sees his fantasy come to life. A boudoir album is one of the most personal gifts you can give your spouse. It reminds him of your true beauty that he is lucky enough to call his wife. And while he will feel like this is a gift you did 100% because of him, the experience will leave you feeling empowered and confident, which is a gift for you too. Read what one of our past clients said about her anniversary boudoir gift: I loved everything about this experience. It was my first boudoir photo shoot and I was super nervous as I had never done anything like that before. Brittany sat down before the shoot and we talked about the style I was going for. It was a 1st wedding anniversary gift to my husband. I am definitely pretty self-conscious, but she made me feel completely comfortable in my own skin. She made it totally fun! My husband was speechless after I gave him the beautiful book that Brittany put together. He has told me on numerous occasions that it his most beloved possession. Thank you for all your amazing work and for making me feel beautiful!!! ~ Megan Ready to book the Ultimate Anniversary gift? Contact us for more info.

Let's talk about pin-up photography and why it could be one of the most empowering experiences. Pin-up got its name because the photos were meant to be “pinned-up” instead of framed, the pin-up is over 100 years old. Origins can be traced back to as early as the Victorian era. However, the term “pin-up” didn’t come to be until the 1940s and has since become a popular way for curvy women and women of all sizes to confidently showcase their beautiful bodies, and their playful, sexual side. WHY I LOVE PIN-UP PHOTOGRAPHY One of the main reasons I love curvy pin-up photography is that it’s all about female empowerment and body positivity. Whether you are a size two or are plus-size, it’s time to embrace your beautiful body. 5 ELEMENTS OF PIN-UP PHOTOGRAPHY Creating the pin-up look, unlike many other stereotypical portrait photography, is about having fun, using props, and embracing vintage lingerie. Below are five elements to embrace your pin-up photography session. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU Being a pin-up isn’t about trying to fit a genre: it is all about you. When you decide to do a pin-up photo shoot with our Chattanooga boudoir studio, we create the perfect shoot for you — with different poses, styles, and outfits. As we envision your shoot, we will take all of this into consideration to create a photo shoot that shows off your many assets. POSING & PROPS Though having fun is one of the main elements of a pin-up photoshoot, no true pin-up shoot is candid. Each pose is carefully calculated and formulated by your photographer to accentuate your beauty. As you work with us, we will help you find the most flattering poses. Another main element of a pin-up photoshoot is the props; anything from lollipops and lipstick, to classic cars and vintage phones, can be a part of your shoot. The options are endless — have fun! FUN & PLAYFUL When you do a pin-up photo-shoot it’s time to bring out your fun and playful side. Pin-up photography throughout history has always been about being playful with a strong undercurrent of sexual energy and confidence. Don’t stress about being provocative, just channel your sexy, playful side and have fun. Through the use of props, makeup, and costume, we will help create a fun atmosphere that will make having a good time easy. MAKEUP & HAIR Gals, it’s time to glam it up! Pin-up photography is all about glamorous vintage hair and makeup styles. Lipstick and winged eye-liner are stereotypical of a pin-up shoot as well as vintage style hair with victory-curls, baby bangs, and ringlets. We can often add a modern flair and other style elements that bring out your own personality. Also, there are many different styles that you can embody as the star of your pin-up photo shoot. BODY POSITIVE Many people think that you have to be a certain body type to embody the pin-up style, but that’s not true at all! Any woman can be a pin-up supermodel— it’s time to embrace your beautiful curves! A pin-up photoshoot is an empowering experience, because we are celebrating your personality, your body, and your sexuality. BOUDOIR IS A FRENCH WORD MEANING “A WOMAN’S BEDROOM”
In photography terms, boudoir is a photographic style featuring intimate, romantic, and sensual photos. Women usually pose in lingerie for fine art photographs to share with their significant other. These types of portraits are sensual and sexy and are meant to be empowering. If a woman decides on nudity, it is usually implied and tastefully elegant. But, Boudoir at Haute View is so much more than just this definition. We want our clients to walk away feeling beautiful and confident in themselves with who they are at this time in their lives. Whether that's celebrating a milestone like getting married, a special anniversary, or birthday. Or if it's for a confidence booster that you need just for YOU. |
