Bertha {Meet the Crew}

Katie Larrington September 18, 2017

If you've been in the studio, you've met Bertha. She has had a prominent place in our "Prep Room" where our lingerie, shoes and props are located. Some people love her and others only like her but I have a HUGE sentimental attachment to her. Let me tell you her story.

When I was in college, I had a best friend named Jessica (we still talk and she loves Bertha's new home). We were art majors so we spent A LOT of hours together, in class, out of class, in the studio, at concerts, drinking like college kids… We were always together. For her senior project, she painted a series of women in different sizes combating the body standards that society has currently set for women. Bertha immediately spoke to me and I had to have her. I purchased her through Jessica's senior show and she has been a part of my life for 12 years now. Little did I know at the time that I would be combating that exact same thing through boudoir, striving every day to show women that they are beautiful no matter what society says. Bertha finally got hung up in a place of honor this week in a role that she has always deserved. Give a round of applause to Bertha!

New Studio Space

Katie Larrington August 25, 2017

I don't know about you, but I'm a super great procrastinator. If I don't want to do something I will go to great lengths to avoid it. I'm not proud of it, but I do admit it.

When we first moved in to our house last June, we spackled the holes in a second room for the studio but it had a wallpaper border up and was a really dark blue that would need multiple coats of paint to cover it. I was DREADING it. And for an entire year I avoided it. I even went as far as steamcleaning the carpets of the entire house to avoid stripping wallpaper. This past month, I took no sessions so that I could focus on getting the room finished because it was time to stop looking at it and actually deal with it. I stripped the wallpaper, painted 3 walls a light grey/purple and one wall this gorgeous royal purple color. We bought a new headboard, sheets and a comforter and finally put the finishing touches on it literally the day before my first session back. And boy am I glad we finished it! Because it was amazing! The new purple room is now open for sessions and we are SO EXCITED

Meet the Crew {Gear Guide} - Macro Lens

Katie Larrington March 31, 2017

So I took the leap and got a macro lens! I've been wanting one for a long time for ring shots and the like, but couldn't find enough uses for it in boudoir to make it worth the investment. However, with tax time coming around, I wanted to make the most out of my refund and went ahead and purchased my very first macro! I've been playing with it for days taking pictures of jewelry, books, and most of all, annoying all 3 of my animals with super up close pictures of their noses whiskers and toes! My dog looks terrified of the camera in every picture, our outdoor cat hid under a car after a quick sniff of the camera, and our other cat just glares at me but will let me take as many as I want. I can't wait to get started using it during sessions!
