Hi Everyone in the Bay.  I went to the Pleasanton Hilton Bridal Fair last Sunday and met a group of women who do B-Pix called Sweet Cheeks Boudoir. I am going to book a session with her, and I told her I wanted to share her info with all of the girls on PW.

She is doing a Special called "Get Cheeky" where you get the following

-1 1/2 Hour Photoshoot

-Up to 3 clothing changes

-Hair and Make-Up

-5x7 little black book (upgradable to larger size too)

-Package price normally $750, but for anyone I refer she will give $150 off so $600 I think it's a great deal considering hair, make-up, and she has wardrobe.  If your going to book with her give her my name for the discount Stephanie

She has other packages, etc.... for bachlorette parties, for 5 or more it's like $450 for the same thing : )

She said if you book your wedding photography with her the b-pix will be free but I already have a photographer sooooo that won't work out for me....... 

Her email is sweetcheeksstudio.com and her name Denise Birdsong-Zavala

BUMP

On Second thought.... this is a good deal, but you don't get any of your images on disk only a book.. I don't know if I like that.

Not to thread jack... but this is what I'm doing. The $200 difference in cost will cover the hair/makeup not included and a portion of the room :)

LOL your not thread jacking, sooo tell me what your doing and if it's a better deal, or you think my Sweet Cheeks is a good deal ??

LOL sorry, one of those days.

c/p from other thread:

Not much of a plan set in stone at the moment, but here's the rough guesstimate. My photog is coming in from out of town at the end of March, and will do a 4 (maybe 5) girl marathon while there. 

Cost for pics is $400 - 45-60 min shooting time, 5x5 book, and a cd/dvd with the edited digital images. (normally $900!)

We'll contact a hair and makeup person (or people) to come if all the girls are interested. That'll be an additional cost, but hopefully reasonable.

The cost of the room will be shared- and can be discussed when a central location can be chosen. 


Her site is www.karaschultz.com/ if you'd like to see her work.

Any questions, please ask! :)

so.... the differences:

Sweet Cheeks vs. Kara-

-1 1/2 Hour Photoshoot vs. 45-60 min

-Up to 3 clothing changes vs. unlimited

-Hair and Make-Up vs no hair/makeup

-5x7 little black book (upgradable to larger size too) vs. 5x5 book (upgrades also available - $50 to up to a 5x7)

-$600 vs. $400

-no disk of images vs. disk of images.

SO

I'm happy with an hour of time (trust me, you'll get a lot of pics in an hour.), a slightly smaller book and images for $400 and having to pay for part of the hotel*, hair and makeup (which shouldnt be anywhere near $200) Plus.... I know she'll make me look amazing. She's done it before... and has only gotten better with experience.

*I assume you'll need a hotel with Sweet Cheeks too....

HTH!

Sweet Cheeks has a studio and all the lingerie, but the fact that I won't be getting any images on disk really bothers me, alot for some reason....

Let me know when and where your planning your B-Pix maybe I can join ?

We're planning on sometime in March. More details to come when I/we know them!

Anyone know of a good place near Sacramento???

Camel and Steff, I'm totally down to do this.  I was looking at doing b-pics in either March or April but dreading having to fly to SoCal just for them.    

Ok sounds good.  I like the offer I posted (above) but not too happy she doesn't give you your images (only the book).  So the search continues.  Also I would need to do them by March at the latest i think, since the wedding is in May.
