Be a Boudoir Diva for a Day

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:41:22 +0000

How to play the part of a Boudoir Diva

It’s pretty simple to be a boudoir diva. This photo session is all about you! All you need to do is show up with confidence and a positive attitude and your natural sexiness will shine through. When you arrive we will take a look at the articles of lingerie, undergarments, bathing suits, and other clothing articles that you brought with you. Since we have already discussed prior to the session what you are looking to get out of your photo shoot, we will know what outfits will work the best. If you bring any props we will find a way to use them that will enhance your boudoir diva attitude.

The next step as a boudoir diva will be sitting down with our makeup and hair stylist. Once she makes you even more glam, we will start the shoot. One challenging part of Boudoir Photography is the posing, but don’t worry, as a Boudoir Diva, we don’t want you to stress and we will walk you right through it and give you our professional and honest feedback along the way. We are more then happy to show you the shots that we take a long the way so that you can improve as we go. If you’re not confident about what you see, ask for our opinion and don’t forget about post processing, there’s a magical world that will enhance the boudoir diva in you even more!

Having fun as a Boudoir Diva

Yes, a boudoir shoot is all about sex appeal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Some of the best photos come as a surprise when the model is being silly, laughing, or is simply smiling. Bring some of your favorite songs to pump you up and get you excited for the shoot. Remember no matter what size you are, your body is beautiful and deserves a day in the spotlight. Once you loosen up and take in the emotions of the experience, you may feel a sense of empowerment and in the end it’s a confidence boost. If you have any bit of insecurity, then treat yourself and be a boudoir diva for a day. Once you see the photos days, months, and years down the line you will see how hot you really are!

Being a boudoir diva for a day is completely vain, and you know what, who cares! We are all so busy working and trying to please other people that we don’t take the time to celebrate being young, healthy, and sexy! The best part is that these photos will be around forever, so when those days come and gravity takes hold you of you, you can pull out your photos from 50 years ago and your grand kids will never believe that grandma was once extremely hot!

Get Ready for your Boudoir Shoot

Boudoir Shoot Tips

A Boudoir Shoot is a time for you to show off your best assets in a sexy, intimate way. Theses photos are a perfect gift for a significant other in your life and leave little to the imagination. The word “boudoir” is French for a private dressing area for a lady. A professional photographer usually captures these sexy photos in a bedroom setting, hotel room, or in a studio.

Boudoir Photography doesn’t mean nude, but you are showing skin. Wear what you feel sexiest in and if the photos are a gift, what does your significant other like to see you in? You can wear lingerie, swimsuits, bra and panties, or maybe just a men’s shirt. A little teasing goes a long way.

Being Prepared for a Boudoir Shoot

Assuming this is you first Boudoir Shoot, you are going to have mixed emotions and a ton of questions. Don’t be afraid to ask. Of course you are wondering what a Boudoir Shoot will cost, but ask more questions. Find out how you can look like the models on the site but preparing for the boudoir shoot. You will be even more pleased with the outcome of the photos.

With our experience of shooting several boudoir shoots, we will be honest with our opinions and if you have second thoughts, we understand and we can toss around ideas to see what you are most comfortable with. On the day of the boudoir shoot we just want to you look and feel your best!

The closer it gets to the boudoir shoot day, the more nervous you may become. We understand completely. You are going to be close to nude in front of complete strangers, but that’s why we want to get to know you as a client so that you feel comfortable with us.

Booking Your Boudoir Shoot

When we book you, we give our clients a list of what to do prior to the shoot, so you don’t get worked up thinking about the day of the shoot itself.

Remember this boudoir shoot is for YOU, regardless of the recipient. You are sexy and this is a very fulfilling opportunity to show it off!

To get some ideas and inspiration for your boudoir shoot check out some boudoir portfolios online or magazines like Maxim. You get the point. The women looks sexy, but they’re not showing it all off. Keep in mind you want to show these photos off, so don’t take a photo that you wouldn’t show the photo to your best friend.

We have a make up artist that you can hire and we have a professional eye to help you choose the best looks and outfits for what you are trying to get out of your boudoir shoot. You are more then welcome to bring someone a long with you if you want a second eye or another opinion.

If you are interested in specific settings or props, let us know prior to the shoot date and we can arrange to have them. You can also bring your own. If you see photos that you would like to recreate, e-mail them to us and we will recreate that imagine with you during the session. If we believe the image would not highlight your best assets, we will inform you of our professional opinion and we will make it work for YOU!

When you walk in on the day of the boudoir shoot have confidence and feel beautiful. Prior to choosing outfits and poses, we will discuss what you are looking to get out of the session and give you our feedback. We want you to be completely comfortable throughout the entire session. We want to know what body feature makes you feel good about or what the recipient of the photos likes. We also want to know what parts you don’t like, but keep in mind everything we can make changes in post edited.

Not every photo needs to be seductive, have fun with this! We will take photos of you laughing, smiling, and being silly as well! Most importantly, remember to breathe! Nerves can get the best of you, but we want you to look sexy and holding your breath doesn’t come across very attractive. Practice posing and breathing in front of your mirror and just relax so we can capture your natural sparkle!

We want the photographs to capture your sexiness. After all that is why you are interested in doing a Boudoir Shoot. So please don’t diet or starve yourself for days before the shoot. You may want to limit you salt intake and carbs on the day of or the day before, but that’s all we suggest. You want to make sure you have enough energy to get through the session. Taking photographs can get exhausting! If you have “problem areas” we will talk about what poses would be flattering and which ones would not work for you. Makeup, hair, wardrobe, and a little Photoshop can fix these issues!

After several conversations on what you like and don’t like and looking at magazine inspirations, we will make sure you have one of the sexiest days of your life! On the day of your boudoir shoot, you will have nothing to worry about, except looking and feeling your best!

Sensual Boudoir Photography Defined

Char & Tony Mandarich — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 20:49:33 +0000

Sensual Boudoir Photography

A sensual Boudoir Photography session could translate into different looks and styles. It could work for a modeling picture, a Maxim style shoot or a private intimate image for your significant other. There are many different avenues to follow when embarking on a sensual boudoir photography session. Let us take a closer look at the world of sensual boudoir photography.

Sensual Boudoir Photography is the Perfect Gift to Share with a Significant Other

When trying to capture a specific moment or trigger a certain memory, most people tend to look back at old photographs. It stirs up emotions buried away until you see an image frozen in time reminding us of a person, moment, experience shared with a significant other. Sensual boudoir photography can stir up those same emotions when given as a gift to someone special.

You could give it as an anniversary present, birthday, or Valentine’s gift. It just depends on how your spouse perceives a certain holiday and what significance it has to the both of you. Moreover, if you want to incorporate something symbolic in the image as part of the background, clothing, and jewelry then go for it! For instance, if you both share a love for football, then dress up in a sexy football jersey and nothing else. Your spouse will treasure the sensual boudoir photography images forever.

The possibilities are endless with sensual boudoir photography. You can be as creative as you like. The key is communicating that to your boudoir photographer so he/she may produce the perfect sensual boudoir photography image you visualize but have no idea how to bring to life. The boudoir photographer will be able to do this for you.

Defining Sensual Boudoir Photography in Modeling

Another way to incorporate sensual boudoir photography is if you are modeling for an adult-like magazine. You may wish to come across sensual rather than vulgar. There is a huge difference. In sensual boudoir photography, the image is implied rather than in your face. It is relayed through soft lighting, makeup, tousled hairstyle, camera techniques and background. In addition, be careful of your posing. How you pose, stand, and position your body in front of the camera could make the difference between being vulgar or sensual. One of our experienced, professional photographers will be able to show you the difference.

How Sensual Boudoir Photography Differs in Commercial Shoots

Sensual boudoir photography can be used in high fashion editorials or in commercial mainstream advertising. The sensual aspect of a photo shoot in this category focuses on not revealing every part of the body. In high fashion or commercial, either the legs or chest is accentuated, not both. Choose one. This way the message is classy, yet, sexual. And people tend to focus on the eyes. The eyes have to provide the image with lots of emotion, desire, and appeal. It has to draw people in. This is why having the topnotch make-up artist, stylist, lighting, wardrobe consultant and photographer are essential factors to generating such an amazing, incredible, flirtatious, sexy look.

The Scoop on Boudoir Couples Photography

Char & Tony Mandarich — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:15:52 +0000

Are you tired of the same old country club, carbon copy photograph couple pose? The male dresses in a navy blue blazer with a white button down shirt, and khaki pants while the female wears her Sunday best. The male is usually standing while the female is sitting or vice versa and the household pet is included in the picture somehow. Yawwwwn. Huge bore. I’m nodding off thinking about it RIGHT NOW. Seriously, that is as dull as watching Tony Danza host his own show (who even let that guy have a show in the first place?). So why not spice things up a bit and celebrate being a couple through boudoir couples photography.

Why You Need Boudoir Couples Photography

Months and months of eating right, counting calories, and working out every day has finally paid off. You and your significant other did it together! So why not show off those sexy new waistlines through boudoir couples photography. You both deserve it.

An experienced professional hair, makeup and wardrobe consultant are on set elevating your look to emulate the inner superstars that you are. A professional photographer, lighting crew and background are present to ensure the overall look desired is relayed in the final boudoir couples photography image.

Boudoir Photography is the Ideal Gift for Your Wife!

Char & Tony Mandarich — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:50:09 +0000

Searching for the Perfect Gift for Your Wife? Buy Her a Boudoir Photography Session!

Boudoir Photogaphy Session

It is tough to shop for a woman who has everything. She has the car, jewelry, clothes, shoes, and house. She is not lacking in any material possessions. There is nothing left to give her. She has a personal trainer, runs the household, and is constantly on the go, which makes this the ideal time to switch gears, and consider presenting her with something more personal. Think about something that will take her away from a normal hectic routine. Perhaps something that is just for her and maybe you benefit from it too. The best solution for such a gift is a boudoir photography session.

Boudoir Photography Provides a ‘Queen for the Day’ Atmosphere

When you book your wife a boudoir photography session, you are offering her a day just for herself. On set, there will be a professional make-up artist, hairstylist, wardrobe consultant, and professional photographer. She will be pampered with no cell phone interruptions, no Facebook updates, no hyperactive kids crammed into a vehicle to carpool to the next activity, nothing. The toughest decision she will make in that day is whether to wear the sexy black top with jeans or the sexy white top with jeans. That is it.

Boudoir Photography Fulfills Fantasies: Her Perspective

If you are the wife receiving this amazing gift from your spouse, think about the endless possibilities you can do with this photography session. You could transform into a Maxim cover girl by replicating a picture, pose and styling previously published. Select your favorite magazine cover and emulate the entire look, feel, and vibe.

A boudoir photography session provides the chance to embrace your sensual, funny, beautiful side and capture it into a photograph for you to remember always. It is a great chance to let your fantasies come true. Also, if you, and your husband, adore the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, then morph into a bikini model through our photography services. It will turn your fantasy, and his, into a reality.

Alternatively, think about which female celebrity you wish to trade places with and achieve that goal through a boudoir photography session. Check out old photos in high editorial, fashion and men’s magazines. Find a picture of your favorite celebrity that exudes sex appeal and confidence. Allow this picture to be your guide. Show the experienced, professional veteran photographer, and request for suggestions on how to make your image look similar but turned up a few notches.

Boost Confidence with Boudoir Photography

After any woman goes through the transformation of becoming an object of desire for the day, it elevates self-esteem. Being a model, walking around completely made up in full make up, hair, lighting, clothes produces an ooze of confidence and sexiness that is otherwise missing from your life. To have the entire process generate such an inner strength is empowering. Add to it the sexy image is kept forever in the form of an image is priceless. Every time you see the end results, automatic thoughts spark the positive feelings attached to the process leaving you with nothing but increasingly positive effects.

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 20:58:16 +0000

Do you want to know what it feels like to trade places with Megan Fox for the day? You could transform into a movie star sex symbol with professional hair, makeup, lighting and a revealing boudoir photography session. All the focus would be on you. There would be no kids tugging on your skirt asking questions and repeating the words, “Mommy, mommy, mommy.”

No bosses present asking you for the millionth time, “What does it mean on Facebook when someone writes on my wall?” Moreover, no underachieving, annoying, gum smacking newbie trainee to face.

“Didn’t my new co-worker graduate with my kid from high school?”

Instead, become immersed in a full day of pampering. Choose a day of morphing into a hot, sultry, sex symbol at a revealing Boudoir Photography shoot.

Why You Need a Revealing Boudoir Photography Session

It is an empowering experience to be a revealing boudoir photography model, and women do it for different reasons. Maybe you recently had a baby and lost all the baby fat through intense workouts, counting calories, and getting a good night rest. You lost it the old fashion way excluding any cosmetic surgery or insanely expensive cellulite reduction treatments. All the while, you are working nonstop, running a household, driving the kids from one practice to another, and staying sane. So when was the last time you celebrated your accomplishments, physically and mentally in an adult manner without kids around? Revealing boudoir photography sessions allow you to achieve this goal.

A revealing boudoir photography session simply means a way to unveil the different sides of you through an image. You are able to highlight parts of your body that you like and hide the ones that you do not. You uncover different aspects of your personality that you normally have to downplay in a corporate or family setting. It is a chance to let loose and forget the PTA. Actually, screw the PTA. You are encouraged to unleash your inner bad ass self, and ignore outside distractions.
And it is fun! There are revealing boudoir photography packages where you may hire a wardrobe consultant, professional makeup and hair stylist. You will be working with a veteran photographer who is able to make your vision come to life through prior meetings where you show the fashion, look, style you wish to emulate.

An Inside Look at Boudoir Photography Galleries

Char & Tony Mandarich — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 23:27:12 +0000

Boudoir Photography Gallery

When running your own photography business, it is essential to stay updated about different styles of photography, looks, technology, and more. And after being in the business for 15+ years, there is one particular photography style that has been around since before Marilyn Monroe. You saw it in the Miss USA official candidate photographs and plastered throughout men’s magazines. It is boudoir photography.

Boudoir photography is a great way to capture an intimate moment or create a sensual photograph for someone. There are an endless number of routes to take in boudoir photography. The variety of options and directions reflected in boudoir photography galleries encourages an individual to express he/she in a manner that is limited with any other type of photography. Let us take a closer look at what is capable and found in boudoir photography galleries.

What You Shall See in Boudoir Photography Galleries

We shall start with looking at boudoir photography galleries for fitness models.

Fitness Models are a Big Part of Boudoir Photography Galleries

This is a genre that is popping up at fitness competitions worldwide. More and more models wish to show off their physique in more than the stereotypical flexing in a bathing suit shot. Do not get me wrong. The bathing suit flexing shot is still used, but it is turned up a notch in a modern manner. There are backgrounds set to alter the feel of the shot so it is not plain Jane. Perhaps the model is outside in desert terrain wearing cowboy boots, a modern cut one piece geometric swimsuit on top with shorts covering the bottom.

Also, there is more thought put into the fitness boudoir photography galleries, for there is professional lighting, styling, professional make-up artist and more. It is truly possible to transform an intimidating fitness model into a sensual being. It shows a model’s versatility while still accentuating muscles and body parts. The judges and fans are equally impressed.

Retro Pin-Up Models are Located in the Boudoir Photography Galleries

Another category of boudoir photography galleries is the retro pin-up model. To get a clear picture of what I am referring to think about the vintage Alberto Vargas images. Those pin-up model images were perfection. Now, take it into 2010. Use actual pin-up models, modern technology, replicate the hair and styling, stage the background similar, and you would find these pin-up pictures under boudoir photography galleries.

There is such a wide spectrum of photographs categorized under boudoir photography galleries. There are wedding, bikini, edgy, romantic, sensual, intimate boudoir photography and more.

Kelly Osbourne and the Pussycat Dolls!

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:26:08 +0000

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pictures, videos and reports of the brand new slimmed down Kelly Osbourne taking center stage alongside Carmen Electra and Mya for an invitation only performance with the infamous Pussycat Dolls.

On the evening of Wednesday, September 1, 2010, Kelly Osbourne appeared on stage with the Pussycat Dolls at the Viper Room. She arrived to the show looking slim, trim, and just incredible.

Kelly Osbourne Performing with the Pussycat Dolls and Walking into Viper Room

Kelly shed further weight loss since her appearance on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and it seems she has kept up the active regimen. The results speak for themselves. You can see how much thinner she is through these photographs. She looks amazing, and is the epitome of what a boudoir model should try to attain.

Kelly held her own alongside the sexy Carmen Electra and beautiful singer Mya. Kelly was fully dressed in a form-fitted black corset, fishnet stockings, and hot pants. Far cry from the same Kelly featured on the family show, ‘The Osbournes.’ Kelly even commented on the outfit by stating, “This is my version of Sasha Fierce,” which is Beyonce’s alter ego.

Well, I won’t argue with you there. Kelly, you were definitely fierce honey! There is no question about it.

For those of you who still have no clue regarding who Kelly Osbourne is and do not recognize her through these sexy pictures, she is the 25 year old daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Yes, this is the exact rebellious teen seen frequently with the family without obvious curves. Her father is a retired rock star. Her mom is the continuous businesswoman and one of the current judges on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ She comes from a talented, business oriented, artistic family and now we are finally seeing her in a completely new light.

Kelly Before and After Pics including on the Right: Kelly at the Emmys 2010

Robin Antin, the founder of the Pussycat Dolls, is the one who took the picture of Kelly and posted it on her Twitter. It showed Kelly in the outfit without the long hair extensions. Then she took another one with Kelly in a rhinestone embellished black bra and an unlit cigarette in her mouth promoting the night. Robin tweeted, “Another sneak peak of HOT KELLY O! She’s ‘Sweet Charity’ re-invented!”

Robin, we couldn’t agree with you more.

Beach Bunny Swimwear at Miami Fashion Week

Char & Tony Mandarich — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:00:51 +0000

Beach Bunny Bikini

So here’s the deal. Mercedes Fashion Week in Miami is not your ordinary fashion show. It does not feature any too stiff to walk in clothes. It does not highlight any dresses that are too pretty but are completely unwearable off the rack. Nope. Miami Fashion Week reveals nothing but bathing suits from the start until finish. Yes, you read my words correctly. Let me repeat for emphasis. Each designer shows nothing but bathing suits. Go ahead. Begin drooling.

Who knew fashion could be so stimulating?

And we are not talking about one type of bathing suit here. We are talking about a plethora of swimsuits. Everywhere your eyes wander you spot bikinis, monokinis, and sexy, glamourous pin-up style designs. There are bathing suits with side cutouts, cleavage spilling out, and skin galore. The bikini models’ bodies are perfection. The swimsuit patterns are ultra sexy. And, lucky for you, I am here to share with you the best of the bikini fashions.

Selena Gomez and the Kardashian Sisters

Let’s start with the influence of Kim Kardashian and her sisters. Beach Bunny teamed up with the Kardashian sisters to bring a collection of over-the-top swimwear for the 2011 Beach Bunny Collection. These suits varied from a turquoise bikini to more of a black bondage feel bathing suit oozing sexiness.

Kim Kardashian Collection

Beach Bunny Miami fashion Show

Notice that the models, accessories, hair and make-up really pull these looks together. It creates an entire package bringing you a bikini model finished product that appeals on camera. Anyone wanting to do a bikini model shoot could take note on how it takes all of these elements to make one glamourous, sexy, stunning shot.

Another designer featured this year was Ed Hardy.

Ed Hardy Swimsuits

It does not matter what Ed Hardy is designing, rock-and-roll glam with an edge is always incorporated. The above two swimsuits are no different.

Overall, the Miami Fashion Show was a huge success! And, next year, my wife and I are definitely going! Hmm, I wonder how close we would be allowed to sit next to Kim Kardashian?

Below are some more bunny beach swimwear pics for your enjoyment.…enjoy ;~)

Lindsay Lohan Arrested — A Train Wreck

Char & Tony Mandarich — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:29:10 +0000

Lindsay Lohan Going to Jail

Lindsay Lohan

Remember the days when Lindsay Lohan was just a cute, freckled red-haired kid star from the remake of the movie “Parent Trap?” She was adorable, talented, wide-eyed, innocent, and projected to be the next big star of her generation. And now, she is balling her eyes out on television while sitting in court listening to her sentencing for the billionth time. The court system has finally had enough, and the be honest, so have I.

Lindsay Lohan could have the world. She had everything going in her favor and she blew it. She has failed her probation terms more than once, and this latest fiasco was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Sunday, June 6, 2010 was the MTV Movie Awards and this is where Lindsay got into trouble. According to reports, her alcohol detection ankle bracelet went off alerting the monitoring location. This is in direct violation of her probation terms causing courts to take note and action. In addition, it does not help her situation knowing that in 2007 she was arrested for being under the influence of cocaine and now undergoes random drug testing. She is a complete mess.

So the question debated in the media is when did this downfall begin? It’s hard to say. Some gossip columnists and followers of Lindsay’s career blame her stage mom for the negative outcome of her life. Her father would probably agree. According to several media reports by TMZ, CNN and Fox News, Lindsay’s father Michael has accused his daughter of suffering from a severe prescription drug addiction ( I’ve been there and done that, its no fun). He claims it is the reason why she is acting childish in court and needs rehab immediately.

It is important to note, Lindsay and her father have not spoken to each other in years. And Lindsay continuously Tweets about her father in a negative manner. There is an ongoing battle. Neither one is going to win a Hallmark prize for being “Best Role Model Family of the Year”. But it still does not explain Lindsay’s apparent disrespect for the courts.

Linday Lohan Nails

During the sentencing, Lindsay had her nail airbrushed with an expletive saying , “F*** you.” And as soon as the sentencing was announced, Lindsay flooded her Twitter account with a series of Tweets. She expressed anger towards the situation and called the justice system “constitutionally perverted.” Then she continued to state the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Seriously? Lindsay breaks the law, the law responds, and she is quote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? How does this attain any court empathy? Who is advising this chic? And as of this morning, her attorney quit.

Lindsay’s behavior is out of control, and my guess is this absurd behavior is a direct link to her addiction issues. And until someone steps in to stop her then she will continue to spiral down further…and, truthfully, I’m not sure how much further she can afford to fall. Mentally, physically and financially she has to wake up and realize she is meant to be a glamorous model and movie star.

She could be the most sought after boudoir cover model for men’s and high fashion magazines alike. Instead, her idiotic mistakes are costing her career, pocketbook and years off her life.

Below are some glamour photos of Lindsay Lohen, and some train wreck ones. I hope Lindsay can get it together. She is a talent that would soar when sober. Good luck baby!

Zaira Nara World Cup Beauty Creates a Sexy Boudoir Photograph

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 07:00:55 +0000

Zaira Nara

World Cup 2010 is here, and the excitement surrounding the tournament is not solely based on the matches being played on the field. The gossip, camera and press that follows the WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of the World Cup is equally impressive, and it is easy to see why.

2010 World Cup Beauties

Zaira Nara World Cup 2010 WAGs

One female in particular attaining the most attention is Argentinean-born Zaira Nara. She is a 21 year old, successful female model dating Uruguayan striker, Diego Forland. Her family is no stranger to the professional soccer world. Her sister, Wanda, is legendary for once dating soccer star Diego Maradona, the present manager of the Argentine national team. Her and her sister are gorgeous, sexy, confident females, and able to grab the attention of international celebrities and athletes alike. But how come her pictures seem to attain a level of sexiness beyond the rest of the models. How come she is able to deliver successful photographs, whether for a bikini modeling shoot or a boudoir photography session every single time? The answer is in the posing, lighting, styling, and setting. These four elements truly separate her photographs from others found online and in popular magazines making her one of the most sought after models in the world.

Let us talk about how she brings to life swimwear modeling. She poses in a swimsuit shot by accentuating her best asset, her behind. She is not shy to the camera when it comes to showing off her Argentinean butt, and she shouldn’t. But notice also her facial expressions, hair, and lighting. By combining the right balance of eye contact, angle of her body, the hair being tousled and uncombed, and the lighting truly brings this picture together. The make-up is light, airy and barely noticeable. It appears as if she spent the day on the water.

Zaira Nara Swimsuit Photo Showing Off Her Assets

Shots that do not work for bikini modeling are the ones where the nails look unnatural, and the French manicure is overdone. The hands need to remain relaxed. You are wearing a swimsuit so it should relay an image from head to toe. The relaxation should appear in every part of your body. If there is any tension perceived, then the shot is a bust. When posing for bikini modeling, think about your surroundings. You are at the beach in swimwear for goodness sakes. You are not wearing a suit. So keep in mind that you are on a vacation on the beach with your adoring boyfriend, or uh-hem fabulous husband, who wants to get sand in his bathing suit and yours during this shot. It will bring the sex appeal to the forefront. And do not be afraid to ask a professional eye to guide you appropriately ensuring you attain a winning shot.

Her boudoir photograph is one of my favorites.

Zaira Nara Boudoir Photograhy…Definitely My Favorite

Everything is right in this picture. She uses the lighting, styling, posing and setting perfectly. And the idea of her sitting in the car with her legs arranged accordingly, hair hanging over one eye, her giving the “come hither” look effortlessly makes this picture my absolute favorite. This is how Boudoir Photography should be done.
Think about the various components that go into the picture days before arriving on set. That way, when you get to the photo set, you can just relax, have fun, and let the professionals, us, do the rest.

Glamour Model Danica Patrick Booed At Indy 500

Char & Tony Mandarich — Sun, 30 May 2010 16:13:24 +0000

“It’s Not My Fault — The Car Is Not Good”

Ouch! thats gonna leave a mark. Last week Danica Patrick stunned the Indy 500 crowd by making excuses and saying “it’s not my fault” and going on about “the car is not good”. She has had a poor performance this May at Indainapolis Motor Speedway and seems to be blaming her team for it. Although Danica’s skills are way beyond mine for driving a race car, what has she really done as an actual race car driver? She has one one race in the last 5 years, and I think that was one of those races in Idaho or Montana? Or maybe it was Colorado. I wouldn’t put it past the IRL that they had that race set up for her to win. Hey its good for racing. She is pretty (kinda). She is good for the sport, she has turned into a glamour model that has posed for Playboy, Maxim, FHM and many more. I totally am liking that! She is a Godaddy girl. Thats cool to, I buy stuff from godaddy, but not because of those girls. So I feel like Danica should maybe just keep her mouth shut and drive. Give the team feedback on the car and let the engineers handle it. If she wants this bad taste out of her mouth she should also quit trying to massage what she said verse what she meant. Just admit you were wrong and ask your team to accept your apology gracefully.

I have self sabotaged myself many times in my sports career as you just did, so I can relate.

Below is some Danica Patrick eye candy for my readers.….enjoy ;~)

Miss USA Sexy Photo Scandal

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 12 May 2010 08:00:43 +0000

Lingerie Photos Of The 2010 Contestants

Beauty pageants used to be an American staple regardless the size of your hometown. It did not matter if you came from a big city like Los Angeles or a small rural area with population of less than 1000, such as Richmond, Louisiana. Beauty pageants existed as healthy competition based on poise, personality and intelligence. Academic scholarships were awarded to contestants and winners. It provided a means for those who could not afford college on their own. And the viewers loved to watch. Viewers would eagerly gather in front of television sets waiting for the crowing of the new Miss USA. The exchange of the reign from the past winner to the new drummed up pure excitement and glamour for the contestants and viewers. But the benefits did not stop there.

National winners would continue competing on an international level opening up doors inaccessible prior to pageant involvement. It provided a plethora of opportunity in commercial, television and scholarship money desperately needed. It was the segway to a brighter future. Children emulated the pageant wave, dreamed of wearing the gorgeous gowns on stage, and reenacted living a glamourous, jet-setting life. The idea was if you were a beauty pageant winner, you had brains and beauty. You were allowed a platform to bring attention to the causes you believed in. You were given a chance to tell the world your story and why these causes needed to be resolved. You traveled the world, helped those in need, and admired by many. You received fame, fortune and money. These were all characteristics and traits of what a beauty pageant could do for you…until now. A monkey wrench has been thrown into the entire dynamic of what the pageant world stands for in the United States, and it started with the reveal of the official Miss USA contestants’ photo shoot.

Miss USA showed the media the official contestant pictures and it is a far cry from where pageants began. Tradition was thrown out the door and images of contestants in lingerie emulating Boudoir Photography has surfaced. These are gorgeous glamour shots. No one is questioning that fact. They are gorgeous females, beautiful pictures with impeccable styling, hair and makeup. The results speak for themselves, but the pageant world is unsure how to handle the situation, and you can’t really blame them. It is not part of the beauty pageant tradition. It is thinking outside of the box. There is a debate about why are they dressed in lingerie. It would make perfect sense if it was a Victoria’s Secret (VS) campaign. For VS is a company that sells undergarments; therefore, show the product. But Miss USA is not a lingerie show. It is supposed to be about earning scholarships.

What is your take on these pictures? Let us know what you think. Chime in your opinion here.

50 Plus Women — A Birthday Gift

Char & Tony Mandarich — Thu, 06 May 2010 11:44:19 +0000

A Stunning 50+ Christine

50+ Women

Have you ever wondered what to get your spouse for an anniversary or birthday present? It is stereotypical to believe for special occasions that clothes, jewelry and/or a new purse would be suitable as gifts for any female. But what about a glamour photography photo shoot? I am here to tell you, as a true testament of seeing this unfold from a male perspective, that sometimes these material gifts are not enough. These objects do not translate to how much you appreciate someone to the fullest. So you have to think about gift-giving on a larger scale. Perhaps an ideal present is one captured on film forever like a boudoir photo shoot for her.

Recently, one of our clients bought his wife a boudoir photo session for her 50^th birthday and she couldn’t be happier! She got the works with a wardrobe consultant, hair stylist, make-up artist and us, the professional photographers pampering her like a movie star for the day.

She had looks ranging from the cover of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue to photographs emulating the revelation of a new rock star on tour press kit images. It was amazing to see the transformation of different personality traits portrayed in each image, and it could not have been accomplished without the proper styling, props and background settings.

For instance, there are a series of shots where she is dressed in tough, dark denim jeans and a tasteful, sexy lace top while she sits on top of a Harley Davidson defining the meaning of rock star to the point it makes Gene Simmons jealous. The hair was tousled, makeup perfect, light imitating what a rock star would look like. It could have been the cover of a new rock album and no one would be the wiser.

In another shot, she wore a 2-piece bathing suit showing off an entirely toned body. To pull of the styling requires a finesse eye to ensure the appearance has changed from prior sessions shot in the same day. There is a slightly different take on the hair and make-up completing the entire look.

Through this amazing birthday experience, our client had the opportunity to have her hair styled differently for each shot ensuring the emotion of the shot matched in the styling. Her makeup altered depending on the look she wished to achieve, including wardrobe changes and background settings. For styling is essential to obtaining a successful glamour photography session.

The entire experience is one she will never forget. She could not believe how much she has neglected to provide time for herself, but by doing this, she had the opportunity to close off the outside world and solely focus on herself. She made herself a priority and this is where many women fall short. Everyone comes first before them. Well, in a boudoir photo shoot, you become the priority. The rest of the world can wait.

How to Prepare for a Boudoir Photo Shoot

Char & Tony Mandarich — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 13:00:52 +0000

Boudoir Photo Shoot Essentials

You have your boudoir photo shoot booked and the day is coming up around the corner marked on your calendar. There is nothing to worry about the day of the shoot. It is a full day of living the glamorous life filled with royalty treatment where you are the star. Your hair, makeup and styling are previously planned and ready to be implemented upon arrival. However, what are you personally responsible for? What are you supposed to wear to the shoot? Should you bring accessories? Should you be prepared with under wardrobe necessities? Here is a basic outline regarding what to bring to your boudoir glamour photography shoot.

Boudoir Photo Shoot

What to Wear to Your Boudoir Glamour Photo Shoot

The best thing to wear is a button down shirt ensuring your make-up and hair will not be muddled during wardrobe changes. This helps for once the make-up and hair is completed, you are able to switch out of your clothes easily without messing up the final look. The photographer will be thankful and so will the professional makeup and hair stylist.

In addition, wear loose clothing to your shoot. Do not wear any jeans that may leave markings on your body from the lines in the denim. Also, do not wear workout-training outfits for they sometimes leave markings on your waist and/or your stomach from the elastic. Wear something that will not leave any skin marks, irritations or traces upon your body. Remember, you want your skin to appear flawless. Of course, it can be tweaked to achieve during post-production. However, you want to provide your post-production designers with the advantage of working with a nearly perfect canvas.

What to Pack to Your Shoot

Bring invisible undergarments to wear with the wardrobe styling chosen. You do not want certain areas to show that are not meant to be seen. If it is a nude session, then do not apply spray-on tanner yourself. Have a professional evenly distribute it. It will make your body appear seamless.

If you wish to bring specific accessories, jewelry, and/or cosmetics, then bag it. If you are unsure about using it, bring it anyways. You can never be too prepared.

Do Not Wear Make-Up

If the boudoir glamour shoot includes a professional make-up artist, then go with a clean face. Do not put any cosmetics and/or tinted moisturizer on. If you do, it takes time away from your session due to the professional having to remove it all. It is suggested to come with a clean slate for the make-up artist to reinvent your desired look from scratch.

Boudoir Photography

Bring Extra Shoes

According to the achieved look, bring the appropriate shoes to complete it. In addition, pack extra shoes. You never know what may occur with shoes in regards to the heel. Furthermore, if the shoes hurt halfway through the session then have an alternative option available with you.

Plan on Arriving Early

Leave the house early the day of the boudoir photo shoot. You do not want to arrive frantic and stressed from dealing with traffic for these emotions may carry over into your pictures. You want your images to relay a positive energy not a strenuous facial and body expression. Your body should be relaxed and not tense. Thus, depart in advance ensuring you arrive promptly or prior to schedule. Leaving the house with plenty of time to spare will prevent that from occurring.

Enjoy the Photo Shoot

This is a day designated just for you. It is produced to be catered for and to you. Thus, enjoy it to the fullest. It is the one time where you do not have to worry about your cell phone ringing, co-workers driving you insane, the kids screaming, and a significant other constantly badgering you to find his/her keys.

A boudoir photo shoot is about you. Embrace the glamour behind it and channel your inner sensual diva making the photograph a complete success.

Fitness Model Alicia Leombruni

Char & Tony Mandarich — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 07:00:56 +0000

Move Over Jennifer Nicole Lee

Below is a guest post for Mandarich Models Blog by fitness model Alicia Leombruni:

Alica Leombruni — Fitness Model

I started competing thirteen year ago when I was 24 yrs. old as a fitness model & fitness competitor. Before I got into the industry I use to go watch all of the fitness modeling shows to see what this craze was all about and after watching I knew that this was the industry for me. Competing in shows takes more then anyone can really imagine until one has experienced it themselves, it is not just getting up on stage prancing around in some little bikini as some people may think. The biggest thing about competing is you have to be selfish as this is a sport all about you which means, making your food, doing all your workouts & not going out with your friends at night to eat when your training. Those are only a few of the sacrifices you will give as there are more.

I’ve learned discipline, dedication, self control, sacrifice & mostly how to manipulate my body to get it look the way I want. When I competed in my first show I really had no idea what I was doing nor the sacrifice I was about to be making in my life. It was long sessions in the gym for cardio/weights as well as a complete calorie restricted diet of only certain foods. So I realized if I wanted to be on stage I had no choice but to give it my all & do what it took. My first show I needed to start out with a 12 week diet just so I could take it slow & lose the body fat the right way instead of crash dieting it off which is always no good. I learned to become a real good cook because I was constantly in the kitchen making my food since I needed to eat a meal every couple hours. I would wake up every am at 4am and go train then come home prepare my meals for the day, go to the office & then on occasion go back to the gym for my second session if needed.

Fitness Model Alicia Leombruni

That became my life as a fitness competitor, always cooking, dieting & traveling all over the country competing in shows on the weekends. When I look back the biggest sacrifice was the years I gave up in my life not being a normal human being because I was so consumed in competing I isolated myself from the daily world. Don’t get me wrong I loved every minute of it but now years later looking back I see the big sacrifices that I made. As I continued competing the dieting would very for how long I needed to start out before a show to be ready, and that is why maintaining is so important in competing. Too many people say they have these on/off seasons well guess what no that is untrue. Whenever you hear someone say they have an on/off season unless they are an endorsed athlete making bank then in my opinion it is simply an excuse for them to get fat. I do not see any other reason for these competitors to gain so much weight and not look themselves once the shows are over.

I learned many years later after being in the sport how to maintain my weight all year round so that when I wanted to compete, fitness model, go on a casting call or whatever job it may be, I wasn’t that far off & didn’t need to kill myself dieting to get where I needed to be. Once I mastered that part the rest was so much easier because I didn’t have to diet as long nor do all the cardio. Like I said the biggest mistake fitness competitors make is letting themselves gain to much weight after a show. Then when show time rolls around again they have to take 3–5 months if not more to get it off and that to me is ridiculous. My motto has become “On season all season, there is NO off season”.

Fitness Model Alicia Leombruni

After competing in my first show I got involved in fitness modeling. It only made sense that when I trained so hard to look so good that I should only show off my hard work thru my pictures. As with competing its fairly similar to doing a photo shoot because yes you have to diet to be lean, need to be tan & always have an amazing hair & makeup artist. Hair & makeup for a shoot is highly important because it really does affect how your pictures turn out after wards. photo shoots are basically like an investment, if you put your time and money in to buy sexy gorgeous outfits, get your hair and makeup done, make sure your body is on point then your pic’s will show all your images.

If you skimp out and don’t tan & pay for a professional hair and makeup artist then you will have poor quality pictures & you won’t be happy with the results as I have experienced that many times in the past. I also think one of the other most important things in fitness modeling is the photographer you are working with. Research your photographer & if you don’t feel comfortable do not shoot with that person or bring an escort with you. Also watch what you sign some of these photographers have models signing all kinds of crazy stuff and the models are not really even reading what they are signing. I’ve been fitness modeling for many years & still to this day do it! I love being in front of the camera shooting amazing images & always coming up with new shoot ideas. It allows my portfolio to be versatile giving people the opportunity to see many different sides to me & who I am as a person.

Fitness Model

When I prepare for a photo shoot now because I have learned how to maintain my weight, I may just take the week prior to do a no to low carb diet the week of depending on how I look. I also eat very clean & workout daily. Then the day before I get spray tanned and usually do a little shopping as I like to always have new outfits for the shoot. I don’t like shooting in outfits I have already shot in at a different shoot. Besides it makes it fun knowing you have new cool sexy outfits to be shot in..:) There is a lot of sacrifice in competing and in fitness modeling, there’s no magic pill to take off weight and be ready. It’s all up to you & how bad you want it as with anything you do in life! I have sacrificed many years of my life in this sport & wouldn’t change it for anything. I have met so many wonderful people & worked with some of the most amazing photographers.

Women Fitness Models

So if your considering being a fitness competitor or dipping your foot in fitness modeling make sure you are willing to give 100% of yourself or it’s not worth doing. It’s a sacrifice of endless workouts, clean dieting, buying clothes, hair & makeup, professional photographers, but in the end the results are all worth it. I’ve had the pleasure of working with one of the most amazing photographers in the valley Tony & Char Mandarich & they exude professionalism in all their work. If you check out my fitness modeling website at http://alicialeombruni.com you will see their amazing photos everywhere.

You get out of life what you put in to it-so do the work & reap all the great results. Competing & fitness modeling is a wonderful experience & if you are willing to sacrifice a little you will be surprised with the changes you can make to you body & have that body you’ve always wanted, I did! Good luck to all of you who decide to venture into this industry of competing/fitness modeling. It’s changed my life for the better & I find the older I get the better I look because I have learned the discipline & sacrifices it has taken me to get to where I am today..:)

The Secret to a Trendy, Fashionable 2010 Summer: Black and White Is In

Char & Tony Mandarich — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:00:32 +0000

You cannot walk by a fashion window display this spring without noticing the black and white prints and black and white color schemes for summer styles.

Summer clothes are winding the clock back to the glamour images of the past where the mix and match of black and white were synonymous with the words, chic, elegant, and cool. You see it in today’s clothes, bathing suits, shoes, hats, editorial spreads, and fashion photography images from all over the world. Black and white is the number one must have summer trend of 2010, and you do not have to look far to find something that represents you.

A glimpse of the black and white trend was shown in 2009, but the look was more edgy, punk rock and in your face.

Black and White Fashion in 2009

Now the trend is modern, clean, and a bit reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn era.

Sofia Hellqvist Glamour Model

Char & Tony Mandarich — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 13:00:47 +0000

Glamour Model Sophia Hellqvist

glamour models have it made. They are sexy, sensual, bodacious females who receive tons of publicity. Fame, fortune and sex symbol status are acquired. They receive industry-style royal treatment. However, what happens when a bikini model starts dating someone from true royalty? Well, in Sweden the entire country is not very receptive to the situation.

Prince Carl Philip

23-year-old Swedish glamour and bikini model, Sofia Hellqvist is allegedly dating one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, 30-year-old Swedish Prince Carl Philip. This may be great for Sofia but the country is not rallying around the relationship.

Recently, Sofia was photographed in a Swedish men’s magazine called Slitz with only a pair of bikini bottoms and a writhing, mottled snake wrapped around her body purposely positioned to disguise her from too much exposure. It was not a big deal. Until, shortly thereafter, Prince Philip separated from his current girlfriend of 10 years at the time, and then spotted publicly with Sofia immediately after her appearance in the magazine. The country was not thrilled.

One Swedish journalist described the situation as “appalling.” The same journalist continued to comment on what if Sofia appeared as the Prince’s date to his own sister’s wedding scheduled for this summer. It will be a true royal wedding and, “Can you imagine her turning up? It could be very embarrassing …”

Kiss My Apple App Goodbye! BoxScore Babes Apps For Droid Have Launched

Char & Tony Mandarich — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:17:56 +0000

iPhone Killer Named Droid

Ever since the entire Apple App fiasco (see Apple Apps and Apple App Rant), we decided to screw Apple. It was an executive decision. Instead, we are proud to announce the launch of BoxScore Babes Bikini, BoxScore Babes Boudoir, and BoxScore Babes Fitness applications on Droid.

We have been working hard to launch all three apps, and they are now launched in the Droid Market Place.

The Droid app will provide you with the opportunity to download the most gorgeous, stunning and sexy fitness, boudoir, and bikini models along with the latest NFL team scores at no cost. It is completely free. You receive images of the hottest girls alongside your Sunday football scores all in one application.

How Much Is It? FREE !

The way to use the app is download it to your Droid at no cost. Once the app is downloaded, you may view images from the BoxScore Babes gallery. Scroll through the pictures or stop on one of your favorites. Then, during the NFL 2010 pre-season, your favorite football team scores will be added live to the bottom of each image. You will receive scores in real-time making your life much easier.

What is better than having sexy females and football at the palm of your hands at no cost? The football scores feed won’t be added until the preseason starts. So currently you only get to look at hot babes that we have photographed. Not so bad.

Now, if only I can have the Droid app make chicken wings to instantly appear at my fingertips without me ever having to get up off the couch during a game….Hmmm.

AnnaLynne McCord does Bikini Photography Justice!

Char & Tony Mandarich — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:16:06 +0000

Bikini Photography

90210’s own AnnaLynne McCord struts her stuff in a recent bikini modeling session. She is the new breakout star of the CW hit show, 90210.

In the Coral Bikini 90210 AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne is a perfect example of how to do bikini modeling right. She has various pictures reflecting sexy, playful and girl-next-door looks. She provides the photographer with a wide array of different shots to choose from while showing off her assets perfectly.

AnnaLynne’s Secret to Great Bikini Modeling? The Styling

Take note of how the styling for each shot is in-sync with the mood each picture is trying to portray. For instance, in the playful picture on the left, her hair is flowing, she is wearing a fun necklace, and her pose is nothing serious

90210’s AnnaLynne McCord Bikini Modeling

Then, in the sultry black bikini photograph, her look changes completely. The hair is styled differently, the look on her face and body position change and her eyes are looking dead on at the camera. The black bikini is much more sexually alluring than the one on the left. The subtle change in jewelry adds to the image. This is a great example of how a successful bikini picture is possible to attain with the right styling, posing, accessories and background.

If you would like to take a page out of AnnaLynne’s photo shoot, try emulating your own bikini model poses at a bikini photography session made just for you.
