Good Kitty Cat

It was just another day on set with a good little kitty cat. Most of the morning was spent feeding.
Awwww how cute. Until…

…this happend…

…and suddenly this little kitty becomes less kitty and more TIGER!…

…that’s okay, a good cub owner can quickly turn the tables and a “cat & mouse” game ensued…

…after a morning of feeding and fun & games, it was time to show our sexy stripes!…

MeeeeeOW! Awww, good kitties. Enormous thanks to Mr. David Yang for setting up this fab & fun shoot.

To check out embarrassing behind the scenes shots of me being silly with a tiger cub (like this one) and shots that didn’t make it to the blog, be a cool cat and LIKE my FACEBOOK Fan Page.

Thanks gorgeous,

Celebrating 40! No. 2

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any hotter! Here’s Part 2 of the super sexy NYC photo shoot to celebrate Mrs. S turning 40!

I had such a great time with this couple and decided to do something that was a first for me – I normally do not allow husbands to be a part of the shoot, but with Mr. S, I changed my mind! I wanted to celebrate them as a couple.

And it was a huge success! Here’s an email I got from Mr. & Mrs. S last night…

Christa!!!

Blown completely away is the best way to describe how the hubs felt about the pictures!!

He has several comments…but most are curse words:)

Here is what Mr. S wants you to know…

“I’ve known my wife for 20 years. I’ve always thought she was very sexy and beautiful. Are you kidding me…??? Wow!!! I’m blown away at the sexy confidence she’s now walking with! FYI…beware of the future shopping escapades, they only get sexier!!!”

Side note: as the week went on, I was surprised to hear him totally out of the blue talking about the pictures… “I loved this one because of the confidence in your eyes, that one because you are having fun, and holy shit that’s sexy!” I am still surprised at how strong his reaction was 🙂

Thanks again!!! We would love to see you in Chicago!

Mr. and Mrs. S

It’s torture not to be able to share Mrs. S’s nude pics! Some of my best EVER! But I respect my client’s wishes regarding what they are happy to share, as well as what they’d like to keep private 🙂

So, I’ll just leave you with this hot little moment…

…until the next time!

Lots of love and nudity,

ps. If ya missed it, check out the sultriness of Part 1!

Celebrating 40! No. 1

Turning 40 soon? Sex up your celebration with a smoking hot photo shoot 🙂

The lovely Mrs. S and her hubby of 11 years flew from Chicago to NYC for her photo shoot and had an unforgettable weekend. Mrs. S was “super nervous” before the shoot, but by the time we were done with hair and make-up and a couple cocktails later, we were all sultry silly and having a blast!

Here is part 1 of 2 from Mrs. S’s session. Look at how GORGEOUS and SEXY 40 can be!

This was such an incredibly fun shoot and thanks so much to Mrs. S who let go and revealed her sexy side to me 🙂 Huge thanks also to Mr. S, who waited patiently in the lobby and joined us for a bottle of champagne at the end to celebrate!

Stay tuned for part 2, when things really got heated up!

Soccer Moms are Sexy!

Soccer moms have got it going on. These women amaze me with how they get it all done, and I love that I spend each day empowering this group even further by celebrating who they are.

Plus, I LOVE LOVE LOVE sending them home to their husbands confident, happy, seriously sexy, totally playful and on fire! Men, you can thank me via email 🙂 or if you haven’t yet, call me up to book a shoot for your woman. Then get ready to have your world rocked.

Mrs. K is a 38 yr old mother of two, wears a size 10/12 and has typical insecurities we can all relate to. She went waaay outside her comfort zone, had a total blast, and rocked this shoot out!

Kicking back, enjoying some wine, and having a really good time is so.damn.sexy.

Classic. Black & White. Gorgeous!

If you are one of the 100 photographers currently kicking butt in my new ONLINE BOUDOIR WORKSHOP, then you will get to see the behind-the-scenes video of this shoot. For those that were locked out due to seats being sold out, you can sign up to get dibs on seats for the next one!

A huge heaping thank you to Mrs. K for being so generous and granting me permission to show how we captured your sultry, silly, beautiful self 🙂

So honored to be of service to the soccer moms!

Street Tough + Supah Sexy!

I just wrapped three days of back to back shoots and intensive workshops – whew! and it got me thinking that there is no sweeter, more powerful, more feminine, and seductive combination than Strength plus Vulnerability. Now that to me is supah sexy!

A female boxing enthusiast and budding model, Lissarette has this knock-out killer combo down cold. This is another smoking hot set of photographs taken for your viewing and educational pleasure for the ONLINE BOUDOIR WORKSHOP. For this particular set, I showed how different lenses (the 24-70m 2.8, 50m 1.2, 50m 1.4, 85m 1.2, and 85m 1.8) photograph the same subject at different ranges and which is best for each situation!

So if you want to catch that action, sign up to go behind the scenes of this shoot and watch footage of me photographing Lissarette…

A Sultry Good Time

Photographs created at the Hotel Empire, NYC, May 2011. This shoot was a little mini-session with maximum sultriness. Mrs. C is a wife, mother, business owner, and was just about the easiest shoot I’ve had. She was adorable, flirtatious, comfortable with herself, and willing to try anything. She loves fashion and really high heels…
