The Grand Opening Party!

This past Saturday I had a little grand opening / holiday party all wrapped into one! There was a photo booth complete with reindeer ears and Santa hats. To see the the photos visit my Facebook page here. To become a fan of Adeline & Grace Photography on Facebook click here.

I’m happy to announce that 15+  toys were donated from guests to Toys for Tots that night. Ren Robinson, the incredibly awesome person that painted the studios 20 foot walls won the iPod Shuffle! The turnout was awesome and I cant thank everyone enough for all of their love and support! This has been one heck of a crazy year and I thank everyone who was there for me through the thick of it. I say this every year but it bears worth repeating. I have the best clients ever!! EVER. You make my job not a job and you sometimes laugh at my corny jokes. Sometimes. ;)

San Francisco Boudoir Photography | Irina Voronina

I just turned in my keys to 983 Lincoln St (the old studio) this afternoon. I thought it would be a bit sad but I was actually excited to see whats in store for Adeline & Grace Intimates for 2010. I got the first studio in April 2009 because the intimates business took off like I wouldn’t believe! I never imagined that boudoir photography would be such a big part of my business but it was such a natural transition and growth Im glad that I fell into it! ;)

Now that I have the new San Francisco Boudoir Photography Studio its twice the size with a hot pink dressing room and even more sets and props than before. I’m soooo excited to see what 2010 has to offer and started out the first few shoots in the studio with some tremendous talent. Through some very close connections actress and model Irina Voronina came in the studio to model for Adeline & Grace Intimates. You may recognize her from Reno 911, Maxim, Skyy Vodka ads and being the St. Pauli Girl 2008 Spokesmodel. Irina is hilarious!  I had so much fun hanging out with and photographing her it made yesterdays shoot a total breeze. Here’s one from the shoot yesterday. More to come soon!

November Print Sales Will go to Charity

Give the gift of photography and donate to charity at the same time!

Last year I was inspired by Anna Kuperberg, a local bay area photographer who donated her November print sales to charity. So for the month of November 2009 70% of print and canvas sales for Adeline & Grace West will go to two charities. The two charities I selected are close to my heart:

One of my sweetest clients this year, Michael Irvine, volunteers at Childrens Cancer Community of Sonoma. He does a fundraiser, walk, charity event, auction, etc nearly every weekend and his tireless efforts help children and their families living with cancer.  This local charity helps make kids lives better one step at a time with no charge to the families in need. 50% of my print sales will go to this local charity. More information can be found below about this charity.

As some of you may know one of my best friends passed away this past September from a brain aneurysm. The remaining 20% of my print sales will be donated to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Its my hope that money donated will aid in research that will save lives or raise awareness. More information can be found below about this charity.

All expired galleries have been extended until Tuesday December 1st 2009. To find galleries please visit:

Boudoir Photography Bay Area | You pick the color of the new dressing room!

So I have some BIG news! I’m moving into a larger studio at the end of the month!!!! I’m so excited you have no idea! ;) While I love the space I’m in and hate that I put sooo much work into it its just not practical anymore. I have run out of room for props and sets and with Adeline & Grace Intimates growing faster than I thought it makes sense to have a new larger space. This space is twice the size and has three rooms already built in. One of which will be a dressing room!

With that being said Im looking to my blog readers to help me out with paint colors. Im pretty much decided on pink, its just what shade of pink. Three walls will be pink, while a fourth wall will have this striped wallpaper on it.

So last Sunday I went to Antiques by the Bay and found this cute little vanity and chair… chair cushion color is going to change:

******So do you think Tutti Frutti or Sexy Pink will look best with the stripes and vanity set?? Leave a comment below to cast your vote! A winner will be selected at random on the 23rd (the day I need to tell the painter what color to buy :) ) and will win a $15 itunes gift card. ******
