Hey gents! This is Dustin writing…the male half of Smetona Photo. As a photographer and a husband who is the glad beneficiary of my wife’s boudoir photos, I thought it appropriate to weigh in on this sexy trend.

Men have an important part to play in boudoir photography and I don’t mean as the subjects! I want to ask the question: why should you encourage (and even finance!) some sexy shots of your precious lady? With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, let me offer three reasons:

1. Picture her. Images of other women assail you constantly. From billboards to magazines to the gym to Facebook, beautiful women are thrust into your face everywhere you look! In order to keep your mind fixed on the lovely woman you’ve chosen, wouldn’t it make sense to surround yourself with sexy, beautiful images of her? Over and over again we’ve had husbands tell us, “My jaw hit the floor when I saw her boudoir photos!” Now when you run into a picture of another beautiful gal, your mind is drawn to the most beautiful one…who’s waiting for you at home!

2. Confidence is sexy. Men are attracted to confident women. What man doesn’t love it when his lady says, “Come on, you know you want me!” That’s incredibly sexy! However, most women don’t say that because they lack the confidence of a bombshell. When your woman sees how beautiful she looks in her boudoir photos (and she will), she gets that sexy confidence. Plus, when you encourage or pay for her to have a boudoir session, you are clearly communicating that, to you, she is drop-dead gorgeous!

3. HOT SEX! Every day we come home from work, take out the trash, have dinner, do some chores, and then watch TV before going to bed. But what if you were doing the dishes and your wife, with newfound confidence, slipped a wallet-sized picture of herself half-naked onto the countertop next to you? *Insert jaw drop here* Now you’re both ready for action! An otherwise boring evening has now become anything but boring. Talk about putting the spark into your marriage…

Now that you’re convinced it’s time for your wife to have a boudoir shoot, you must be wondering: “How can I make this happen??” Click here for our Valentine’s Day boudoir gift certificate ordering information.

Kristin looks forward to enriching your marriage!

(Valued at Over $300)

Get excited, Alanna! Here is what other women have said about their boudoir experience:

“I had a boudoir session with Kristin and it was a blast! She keeps everything light and fun. I think every woman should go outside of their comfort zone and do something like this. I couldn’t believe how fast the time went by and I was actually bummed it was over. Kristin is awesome!!!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Kristin for my boudoir shoot! She was fabulous!! She made me feel totally comfortable, and knew exactly how to direct someone who has no modeling experience and not much time in front of the camera. It was so fun and easy to work with her. Plus, her photography is absolutely stunning. You will look AMAZING in your photos. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Kristin made the boudoir experience a total blast. She was completely professional yet brought a fun and sexy element to the photo shoot. I felt totally comfortable and loved the pictures that I got a chance to see. She is fabulous and an absolute crack up! Every gal out there should do a boudoir photo shoot with Smetona photo!”

Again, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who entered!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

It’s gonna get steamy in Arizona!

There are 14 spots and I need 14 lovely ladies to book sessions to cover the hotel room and my flight to Arizona. When you decide to book, email me at the address below (make sure to include what day and time is best for you & any upgrades). You will be sent a booking proposal from me with payment information. Simply complete your booking and you are set! (After booking, you will not receive a refund if you cancel your session.)

If the 14 sessions do not all get filled, everyone will be refunded all monies paid and the marathon will be cancelled. Decision to cancel will be made prior to August 1st if necessary. So, tell your lady friends and make it happen for everyone!

FAQs:

Q: How long will the whole session last?
A: Your session will last approxiamentally one hour. If you upgrade to include hair and make-up, we ask that you arrive at least 30 minutes early.

Q: Can I see any of your past boudoir work?
A: Of course! E-mail me at info@smetonaphoto.com and ask for the link and password to the boudoir portfolio.

Q: Where will the marathon be?
A: The boudoir marathon will be at The Legado Hotel in Gilbert,Arizona. Check it out by clicking here!

Q: Who is boudoir for?
A: Boudoir is for every age! Single? Do it to feel sexy and confident. Getting married? You’re perfect! Married? He will love it! Been married for awhile? You will be stunning! Most women can’t believe the spark that a few images can bring back to their marriage!

Q: What if I don’t have a model’s body?
A: Your man loves you because of your size and shape, so don’t worry if you feel like you aren’t ready for the cover of Playboy! We all have things we wish we could change. I professionally retouch each and every photo, so you will look your absolute best! If there’s a specific issue that you’re concerned with, we will chat before your session and I can provide you with some tips and tricks for before and after.

Q: Can I bring a friend for moral support?
A: Absolutely! All I ask is that you limit it to one friend, so our suite doesn’t get too crowded.

Q: How many outfit changes should I bring?
A: As many as you like. We’ll go through them and pick out the most sexy and flattering for the photos. Most sessions will have time for 2-3 outfit changes.

Q: Can I add-on upgrades later?
A: Absolutely! You can purchase books, prints and disks up to 30 days after you are sent your proofing gallery.

Q: How do I keep this a secret for my husband or husband-to-be?
A: A great option is to tell him you are going out to do “wedding shopping” or “some time with the girls”. You could also tell him what you are doing. Who knows! He might pay for everything, treat you to some new lingerie, and maybe a beauty day to prep. 

For more information or to book, please email Kristin at info@smetonaphoto.com! I can’t wait to work with you! This is gonna be so much fun!!!
