I love when people surprise me!… a couple of weeks ago, this sweet shy little girl, Kate, called me up to ask if she could model for my Boudoir Photography Workshop as a gift for her fiancee. I said Sure! She was just so darned adorable – who could turn her down? Fast-forward to this past weekend, and wow!– she let out all of those other wonderful personalities that women have inside them :) which makes us all so awesome and mysterious…
Take a peek inside Suite #710 of The Mondrian Hotel at the first of Kate’s pics…
Classic and just plain Gorgeous!
My absolute favorite set… so playful and sensual…
(I usually lay around on a Sunday morning like this too.)
Getting feisty!
Boudoir photography is a damn good time, every time.
More of Kate, a pillow-fight, sexy studio pics, and exciting event announcements coming up!…
xxx!
Christa
It’s getting more difficult to pick favourites out of your sets. Every picture is so exquisite.
wow… love the one with the pillow!
I am blown away. You got me! When are you available for my shoot?
Unbelievable!! I love these. Kate is stunning and your work amazes me!
Hey you – I owe you photos! Just got back from Mexico! I will get a CD in the mail this week! Damn, if I lose 15 lbs and get drunk enough, I may volunteer to model too! Miss hanging with ya – hope all is well! Did you get my little thank you in the mail?
Christa – you done it yet again. I’m with Mac about the fave-picking, but… I bet you can’t pick out my favorites. Actually, you probably can – can you say, “black-and-white-editorial-esque-feisty”??!
I don’t even know what to say……this blows my mind…..great work Christa…..
Christa, love the pictures of Kate. Wow, she clearly became less shy as she was being shot! She enjoyed being the center of attention and let herself go. You seem to have the ability to put your subjects – of which I have been one – at ease. I love the fact that you get your subjects to laugh and enjoy themselves, photography needn’t always be deadly serious. While I enjoy looking at dramatic photographs, of the all-too-prevalent dark side of man, I also want to see all of life…and laughter and sensuality are part of life too, the part that keeps us going, truth be told. Great stuff as always and please keep using “amateur” or “volunteer” models. You know my theory well, that a lot of professionals just get “modeled out” and begin to look too tight, tired and drawn. Besides, there wasn’t a shortage of interesting, beautiful models like Kate in Los Angeles the last time I looked! So, the person who poses once in a while will enjoy doing so as long as the photographer makes them feel at ease and the photographs will have a fresher, truer quality. You have proved it once again!
HOLY SMOKES, Christa, you are the reigning queen of boudoir. You can outshoot anyone on a hawt set, with your eyes closed, and a fisher-price camera , and one arm tied behind your back….. I swear you could!!!! Blown away, once again. Sigh.
WOW!!! you have some serious skills my friend!! I am BLOWN AWAY!! My favorite is the “Lazy Sunday”! Freakin’ AMAZING girl!! YOU ROCK!!!
Gorgeous as ever, my favorite shot is #2, B&W and simply beautiful.
Every thing I see you do you always out do yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WONDERFUL!
GENIUS!

Amazing!! It was awesome to be at the worshop working shoulder to shoulder with Christa and so many other talented photographers. The creativity lit up the room! Christa has a gift and she loves to share it with others directing us to the light that we may have missed. Mentoring with her has taken me to a new level! Thank You! Kate was a natural better than most models Authentic to the core
