Ok, so I confess it is pushing me to post in gofigure. So don't laugh at one of my first attempts at shooting these!
But... I would really appreciate some opinions on the poses and processing.

And a car wash theme.... we did the best we could in the bright bright sunlight. I wasn't planning on shooting outside so only had a little bitty 30 inch reflector to make some shade.
C & C = me +
By the way... the girls asked me to only post these for a couple days so their family doesn't stumble across them. So on Tuesday I'll have to remove the photos. Sorry about that, but understandable.

I just laughed out loud at the Bubble-gum HW..Very Cute!
And the car wash shot is a real Charmer~
In Numba 4, I think it'd worked well topless with arm across. I tend to appreciate naked, but not showing 'bits' shots most of all!
5. Lots of folks say cupping the brests is cliche, but I usually like it, I am not too fond of this interpretaiton, but interestingly, due to the pose and her endowment, she almost makes a heart shape...which is nice~
The processing was the first thing I noticed right after I noticed how cute the gal was...I like the processing secondary to several of your poses here.
And You did a mighty fine job of using that Bright,bright light in the last one too~and her chin down pose is enticing!!
I wish I had replied to your comments earlier, because I have to take the photos down today... bummer.
The car wash shots were super fun.... The two girls sort of played off of each other, so that was helpful for posing since one had zero idea of how to make her body look sexy... she is getting married this weekend and will figure it out pretty soon!

BUMMER is right! In my minds eye I can see there were two, but only a different gal in the Car Wash scene....and now I get how that simple chin down caused her to look so different..:D..Geees, another reason I am not a cop...Or was I unconsciously stereotyping...."all those pretty gals look the same...
And Yeah Daniel, Ya missed it d00d!
Hopefully we can get a second shot at seeing those photos!

I'm blown away. I bet their guys liked them too (
Girl #2... though she was married 2 weeks ago, and I bet she isn't quite as shy any more, lol.
It was fun since we spent about 4 hours... and played really. Ideas would grow from a "lets try this"... "and add this"... "and this"... and it would end up way cooler than we started.
Thanks! I know Gal #1's hubby loved hers. (Esp the suds and car wash stuff...) We did a boudoir session for her about 3 years ago, and my skills and her skills have certainly improved in that time. She has style, and I learned about lighting, lol.
I don't know if Gal #2 has given hers to her hubby yet... something about an anniversary of the day they met...
The eyes in #4 slay me, really nice focus and great light.
I'm glad I caught them in repost!
I love #1 and #3 the best, I'm taking notes to use in my next boudoir session!
Always a joy seeing your work, I hope to see your work here again!

In my honest opinion I feel that you've missed something important about boudoir photography and that you only have one image that can even be considered that style in all of the images presented. Boudoir by definition is an area in which a woman could go for privacy like a powder room or bedroom. There she would adjust herself and sit quietly or even act less "proper". The image on the bed fits that bill while all the rest but one other is technically pinup as it women in the act being caught looking sexy.
Now apart from technicalities you have some things that do take away slightly from some of the images.
Image #3 the smile is forced and actually comes off as she really isn't happy.
Image #4 suffers from bad hand positioning. The cupping of the breasts isn't the most flattering nor natural. Try rest one arm across them or using a blanket to slightly cover, but not cupping.
Other than that you succeeded very well in capturing beautiful woman acting sexy and their perspective loved ones will enjoy these immensely.
