Boudoir inspiration: black and red leopard-print pinup shoot

Say hello to Bombshell C.! Notice how we coordinated our environment with her outfit. This is a perfect example of why letting us know what you're bringing to wear for your pinup shoot is super important. We were able to coordinate our set with her fabulous leopard wardrobe. Also check out her fabulous accessories...the pumps, jewelry, bracelet...etc...those are all unique components that make a shoot successful. We also did a pink and white session with Bombshell C., so stay tuned for those pics next week! Until then...meow! 🙂

Fabulous faux lashes…totally divalicious!

A few weeks ago Lisa Johnson, aka Brides by Lisa or Lisa Johnson MUA, posted a fabulous blog post all about false lash trends for 2012. Check these out! Head over to her site to view further information about each one. Aren't these PERFECT for a pinup shoot?! LOVE them. Thanks for sharing, Lisa! See you on Friday! 🙂 The gals at Bombshell Creative

We are SO excited about the upcoming release of "My Week with Marilyn", a movie in which a young production hand on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl" recounts his first-hand interactions and conversations with starlet Marilyn Monroe. Just reading the movie synopsis gives me chills! Click here to head over to the film's official website. Enjoy these photos from E! Online and anxiously await the movie release on 11/23/11! Sounds like the Bombshell Gals need to have a night out for this...hmmm... 🙂  

Barbie has always been a bombshell

I've always loved Barbie. She's been a fashion icon for years and has always been outfitted with the latest trends and accessories. The reason we're highlighting her on the blog today is because we've learned Barbie has a new edge. She's now sporting tattoos! Say hello to pink-haired, tattoo-clad Barbie, created by Japanese lifestyle brand, Tokidoki: This Barbie doll is a fashion-forward fashionista with an attitude! She even comes with a little dog wearing a cactus suit named Bastardino! Love it! We think Barbie has always been a bombshell. Some days she's a doctor, other days she's a tattoo artist...no matter who she is, she's always full of spirit and confidence...just like the variety of women who walk through our studio doors... What type of bombshell are you?! Have a fabulous Friday, friends!

On my other photo blog – “Seeing through a different lens”…

You may or may not know that I have two photography blogs. That's because I have two photography businesses. With Bombshell Creative, I offer women the ultimate boudoir photography experience and empower them to unleash and embrace their inner bombshells. With Ashley Segroves Photography, I help families treasure and remember special milestones and memories. Today I'd like to send you over to my Ashley Segroves Photography blog where I was inspired by a friend to pose a challenge...see you Monday!

Boudoir shoot inspiration: Accessorizing with hats

Bombshells always ask, "what should I bring with me for my pinup session?" One of our favorite, most oft-forgotten accessories is hats. Whether it's a fedora, a bowler, top hat, straw hat...you name it. We love it. Hats can really pull an outfit together or can be a fabulous statement piece. Enjoy the inspiration below! What's your favorite type of hat? Do tell!

Boudoir inspiration from Frou Frou Fashionista…

I don't recall how I discovered Frou Frou Fashionista, but it was love at first sight. According to their site, Frou Frou Fashionista "showcases the limitless styling options with lingerie and inspires readers to build their own intimate apparel wardrobe.  It also aims to redefine the lingerie industry in a positive light; demystifying the stigma created by the less classy side of the industry and revealing its very glamorous potential." The gals behind the blog are a mother-daughter team who also run a super-lovely, award-winning luxury lingerie boutique just outside Los Angeles called Faire Frou Frou. We LOVE what they're doing and feel like we need to make a special trip out to California to take in all the loveliness of their boutique in-person! Here are some of our favorite photos from their blog. SUCH a great place to find inspiration for your boudoir session!

Remember Bombshells B and C from one of the pinup parties we hosted? Well, here's another pinup party gal! This is bombshell A and her pinup session here at our downtown Nashville studio was smokin' red hot! We LOVED the wardrobe she brought which included her man's black western shirt accented with red roses, adorable lace-top stockings, red bra with high-waisted garter set and red heels with a bow accent. We gave her a lightly smoky eye with red lips, of course. She has the sweetest personality and we had such a blast photographing her! Here's a peek at the signature accordion look-book we created from her pinup session: More party girl pics are coming soon...so don't go anywhere! 🙂
