If you haven’t met yet.. let me introduce you to @nikkiNOISE. Nikki was in town visiting for the holidays so i was eager to book her a shoot before she was swept away on her adventures in life.. next time we do a photo shoot with nikki we will be traveling to her : )

Nikki is always a pleasure to work with. She makes the cutest little dorky faces at me while i’m doing her hair and makeup.. which is always a nice reminder to smile and be silly.

This girl could keep herself entertained forever with the endless goodies and toys she keeps in her purse: tarot cards, scarves, snacks, toys.. i bet she’s got some magic Mary Poppins stuff going on in there.

One thing i’ve always loved about nikki is her ability to just have fun in life. She is so rooted with herself yet light as a feather.. always smiling and giggling. it was such a treat to be around her energy tonight. she’s an example of why i choose to surround myself with open, positive, loving people. it would be impossible to frown around this little goddess.

Love to love you nikki!

and to compliment her sweetness.. she could totally kick someones ass if needed; )

we all play our parts in making these shoots happen. I’m so thankful to create with this team of amazing humans. thank you sho and g for allowing me this experience. i’m forever grateful.

you can find more behind the scenes of a bohocrush photo shoot posts on the bohocrush blog. And if you’re interested in being a crush doll, boho boy, or perhaps doing a shoot with someone.. please contact me and at kendra(@)bohocrush(.)com and i will be more than happy to answer questions and schedule your bohocrush photo shoot.

with love and gratitude,
kendra

I’ve been flirting with this guy
i can feel myself starting to retract.
a photo is timeless and the internet provides a barrier.
so yes… i’m shy.

i put myself out there because naked is beautiful and i’m not ashamed of my extrovert life. There is a gift in flirting openly and just being yourself. the monkey comes out and primal instincts float freely.

it’s an art to balance being me and not giving too easily.
it’s not difficult to portray my sexual side to someone i’m attracted to. i can control my hunger.
the difficulty comes in how that person receives me.
that side i can’t control used to defeat me.
i seek respect with your appreciation, reciprocation,
and if the universe wills it.. a little penetration.

with the exchange, conversion, and my deep dirty perversion you’d be surprised that it always ends at just flirting.
sometimes i like that.. a little tease to wet my kitty cat.

but now and then i remember to let the universe know what it needs to know. my intentions, desires, and then just go with the flow

tonight was @LovelyMonika’s first photo shoot with bohocrush.. and let me tell you.. this woman is a GIFT!
When someone has passion it shines.. radiates.. pulsates. I feel like i was given the best birthday present ever..

Monika : )

until tonight i’d never done pinup style hair and makeup on anyone besides myself. I was so excited to get Monika ready for her shoot. I have been researching all sorts of tip, tricks, and hints for the occasion and it all came in handy.

LisaFreemontStreet has some great you tube videos with all sorts of helpful knowledge. This one in particular stuck out in my mind as i was getting monika ready.

I am so excited for the doors that opened in my mind tonight.
My creative confidence is blossoming further and i’m so elated by the energy we all shared. There is so much passion in this world and i love to stir my hot coals and build that fire.

I think tonight was the first time i got to know more about Monika and see her sweet personality shine. one of my favorite things about boho shoots is getting to know the girls through the process.

She makes up the most delightful words.. we found that we have a few in common and she dropped a few awesome ones into my word bank.. like.. “spifandrifulus” hahaa it just sounds like the perfect way to describe how amazing the night was.

I’m so impressed with the way this girl moves. she’s very attentive and aware of her body.. she was born to be a pinup. She even practices her movements in a mirror.. something i highly suggest for all sorts of performing and modeling. seeing your body move helps create muscle memory and body awareness.

Today i was reminded to love, commit, challenge myself, do the best i can always, and step it up a notch. I feel blessed to have been given such a magical night. Thank you universe!! : )

Until her shoot last night, i hadn’t had the delight of spending a lot of time with Savannah .. i’m so pleased to have gotten to know her better.. she’s is such a kick ass woman. (and smokin hot!)
She was a breeze with makeup. such a beautiful goddess.

We always have the best time when we shoot in studio.. This time we had @pmimmy .. now named pennypuss.. dj the shoot. There are some things that just come naturally to people and penny is quite the hot little dj.
And i’ve witnessed her mean pussy punch too (crossing my fingers i never get one of those haha)

it takes a lot of love and team work to fuel these blissful boho shoots. so much FUN!

second to styling a shoot, my favorite part is the behind the scenes fun : ) @gcrush is a master at getting photos..music.. and wonderful snips of information about our crush dolls and boho boys. Check out her behind the scenes post of Savannah’s shoot on the bohocrush blog

i’ve been using some photos i took last night to get some practice using photoshop. . . as of now. . my skills are that of a n00b : )
but at the moment i’m only looking to use it as a hobby and a tool for my online adventures.. so i’m alright with keeping it at baby steps.

Sending endless love and gratitude to Savannah for sharing all of her love and laughter (and pussy punches) with us. I can’t wait until we get her outside.. she’s moves so naturally and smooth. Hugs and kisses my love.

It had been too long since i was last in front of the bohocrush lens.. today was exactly what i needed. Everyone has certain things that they can do to center themselves.. reboot.. hit the reset button. For me, the quickest way to centered bliss is to share love with the boho lens. i let go of all things complicated and connect with my body and my surroundings. i try my best because i am doing exactly what i want to be doing. i am in the moment.. exactly where i need to be doing what i want to be doing. Today Sho, g, and i created art… it did not exist before we made it and because we put so much loving energy into it, we were gifted with beautiful sky, light, and the perfect temperature of water. I am so thankful for today. it was the best day ever. i feel i must give musical credit here: i did pull some energy from the music i listened to while doing my makeup and hair. Today i was floating to Salmonella Dub while getting ready. I get a little nervous (all good nerves of course) so it helps me to relax with chill music while making myself up. My very first shoot with boho was on the playa so this wasn’t my first time outside, but it was my first time shooting at Lake Tahoe. I wanted my makeup to compliment the sexual energy that has been seeping out of my pours lately, but i also wanted to keep things soft and moody. I am quite pleased with the way everything turned out. I got to splash and soak in the water and drape myself on some beautiful massive granite stones. completely naked in nature.. it was therapeutic to thrust armfuls of water.. a cleansing release of playful energy that i often keep inside. I really enjoyed myself today. Now more than ever i am motivated to get my body bending and moving more. Photo shoots encourage me to check in with my body and work a little harder to take care of my health and flexibility. i want to DO not just talk about doing. Thank you for sharing my bliss. I’m still enjoying my photo shoot high and reflecting on all the beauty in my life. tonight.. for the first time in years.. i shed a few blissful tears of pure happiness. my heart is so open right now. i feel like i’m filtering in energy directly from the the mother ship.. with the lights out i would surely be glowing a rainbow. i wonder if it’s possible to explode from a high concentration of bliss. hahaa i hope everyone had an inspiring day. sending love to everyone coming through reno on their way to the playa. I won’t be out this year, but i can’t wait to hear about everyone’s adventures and see photos. sending love to @TheDoLaB and El Circo as they are joining forces for the Simpler Times camp this year. They will be blowing minds.. for realz They have put up a full list of artists and set times on facebook

enjoy your burn.. without pants )’(

**georgette posted a little behind the scenes love from my shoot. check it out here

I have been putting some thought into how i would like to share one of the most blissful parts of my path with all of you, and i’ve finally found a way i’d like to do it.
I am filled with bliss on my journey of doing hair and makeup for bohocrush photo shoots and i’d like to share some of the joy behind it, so after a shoot I’m going post some of the inspiration and beauty that helped breathe life into concepts, hair, makeup, and wardrobe (mostly lack of.. heehee)

I’m so pleased to be starting this out with @AlexiBunny. I’ve always known Alexi to be sweet, beautiful, and full of love.. she is sunshine inside and out. For the most part I have always kept her makeup natural and complimentary to the soft demeanor i was used to, but this time… we decided to turn up the sex.

After she scheduled her shoot with @gcrush she was sent my direction to discuss ideas, inspirations, hair, and makeup.. I was so excited to read that she wanted to play up the more sultry, womanly, sexual goddess part of herself. I encourage everyone to expand their comfort zones and play with their inner goddess/stallion energy, and i will happily assist with hair, makeup, wardrobe, concepts, and even fluffing ; )

Alexi sent me a few photos of what inspired her to want to portray her sexy side. . .

*Megan Fox makes me want to play with my sexy side too. MEOW!*

Like many things in life, sexy can be interpreted in many ways so it was helpful to have Alexi reference photos that showed the sexy she envisioned. After emailing photos and links back and forth i decided to keep her makeup in more natural smokey tones to brighten her beautiful blue eyes and give her a natural raw sex appeal (although i think alexi could rock sexy energy fresh out of bed sporting dragon breath.. meeeeow!)

AND i got a chance to try out this simple little trick i found for covering up dark circles and it worked like a charm
Thanks Kandee! She has great tutorials and tips on her YouTube channel.. i highly recommend you check it out if you’re looking for some makeup guidance. She’s such a sweet heart!

I’ll do a better job of getting a close up makeup shot and make a list of products for inquiring minds in the future : ) It’s always a learning process.. today it’s learning what i want to share and how to organize it.

I did most of her makeup before we headed up to the Lake and after a few touch ups upon arrival georgette rubbed her down with coconut oil.. a job we all love to watch g do.. she’s so GOOD at it heheehe

i love my iphone. g introduced me to the CameraBag app and i’ve quickly become addicted to the lovely photos i can get from my phone.

I like to call her sexy Alexi… for obvious reasons.

I’m so grateful for the love Alexi brings to any environment.. and now i’ve seen the sexy side. *hubba hubba*

I hope everyone has taken off their pants today and enjoyed a little dance.
sending love!
