Been feeling quite peaceful lately so I thought I'd post some images that reflect the current mood. Hope it puts you in a happy place too!

This is sooooo hilarious that I had to pass it on!

Rebecca's mom was a Playboy model back in the day. How cool is that?!!! And judging from these images, we can see how sensuality and good looks is just in her blood. Some people are just that lucky.

A couple of exciting things happening at Boudoir in Bloom! One, a new logo.

Designed by Julie Schilly, I think it's a MUCH better representation of Boudoir in Bloom than what I had previously. Julie is a freelance graphic design artist and if you ever need such services, contact her at jaholmquist@gmail.com or visit her site Zephyr Design. She was great to work with and made sure I got exactly what I wanted, even when I wasn't sure in the beginning what I wanted. =)

Secondly, I'll be teaming up with Christie Simmons of Express MiE Dance Fitness Studio and holding a boudoir marathon on November 14th at her studio. 15, 30, and 60 minute boudoir sessions will be held, with special packages and pricing. You can email me (info@lynndaophotography.com) or drop by Express Mie Fitness Studio to pick up more information about the different sessions.

This is the perfect combination for those of you who want to get in shape before doing your boudoir shoot. Sign up for some entertaining fitness classes (because regular gym classes are so ho-hum) like Zumba, Burlesque Beauty, I Danced All Night, and Pole-ah Tease!!! Then reserve your spot for a boudoir session on November 14th since space is limited.

(Sessions will be taking place from 10am-4pm)

See you all in November at Express Mie!

I'm happy to announce that two of my boudoir images are featured in an article about modern trends in wedding photography in Arizona Bride magazine's Fall/Winter 2009 issue!





Ladies, if you're thinking about getting your fiance or hubby an unforgettable Christmas gift, now's the time to start booking your boudoir session in order to get your album in time for Christmas. Please email me for more information: info@lynndaophotography.com.

I went back to the Bay a couple of weeks ago and took my family to Oakland's Eat Real Festival. If you love food, you'll love this festival! It had everything under the sun and the best thing was that all the vendors and the ingredients they used were all local. I was definitely busier eating the food than I was taking pictures of it, but I did manage to squeeze in a few images.

I'll try to link as many of these vendors as I can too.

Top left: Sweetface Bakery
Quite a few cupcake vendors out there. YUMMY! I also heard Kara's Cupcakes were pretty good too.
Top right: Fat Bottom Bakery - totally & delicously vegan.
Second left: Pop Chips - a decent replacement for potato chips for those of you craving chips but not wanting it to show up on your hips!
The two images underneath the live band- (who were totally awesome) is the best caprese salad I've ever had made by Jon's Street Eats'.
To the right of the Eat Real logo is creme brulee from the Creme Brulee Guy.
Bottom right is a scrumptious seaweed I ate from an organization called Forage SF. Check out their site & concept. It's pretty neat.

This next set deserved its own collage because I loved her pops sooooo much!!! And so did everyone else apparently because the line to her cart was always long and she sold out on the first day of the festival. Aisu pops are handmade pop creations by Jaymes Luu. She finds whatever's in season locally and experiments with all different flavor combinations in her kitchen till she comes up with something magical...like honeydew wasabi! That was goooooood. Even better was the fig & creme fraiche (top left).

If you're ever lucky enough to be up in Davis on a weekend during the Farmer's market, get a pop or two from Jaymes. Then you can be like my sister and try two pops at once!

Just a few from a recent boudoir session with an awesome client! (Per her request, no face shots.)
