2024 Big Updates

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

The last year was absolutely jam packed to say the least, but we made some massive moves that expanded our business in ways we couldn’t have dreamed! I have so many updates for you all:)

 

First, 

I need to mention that in 2019 I moved to NASHVILLE!  Did I ever post that officially on a blog on mine? Holy moly it still blows my mind to even type. My girlfriend is a country artist and was able to get some incredible opportunities there. Instead of trying to do the long distance thing, I decided to kick my scarcity mindset to the curb and start a brand new photography studio across the country! Check out the Nashville studio here.

 

Don’t worry…

We love our San Diego Studio clients and wouldn’t dream of leaving them without the beautiful opportunity of a ‘By the Sea’ shoot under a California sunset. So, I got real wild. I decided we were going to keep BOTH studios open. I expanded my already incredible San Diego team, and they are waiting on your call to book the shoot of a lifetime (yes, even photographers need to be pampered)!

On top of both studios, I decided to continue the ‘Adventuress Photo Expedition’ trips. These are international trips where I take a group of women from all walks of life (who we call our models) and curate the most incredible vacation in an exotic location. On our last trip we rented out a huge villa in Greece by the water. We focused on mind and spirit, formed sisterhood bonds over wine and great food, we took deep breaths during yoga, and danced away the sunset on a catamaran. All their photos all turned out just beautiful, it was a truly incredible experience.

I’ve spent so much time teaching photographers how to live the life they have dared to dream for themselves – and such a massive part of what I teach is automation. Done correctly, it should enable any photographer to reap in great profits while also experiencing true financial freedom.

I so deeply believe in giving photographers the tools to experience this kind of joy. To watch their wildest dreams come true. 

That’s why I created a financially accessible course that’s subscription based (cancel anytime!). It’s called Marissa’s World. So, instead of paying a crazy amount of money for a one on one or a full course (likely with a photographer that’s never owned a studio), you can get my 15 years of experience for the price of a couple starbucks runs a month. 

 

I truly do this out of love, and it is one of my greatest accomplishments to see the community we’ve created. If you’d like to check it out for yourself, here’s an easy link to Marissa’s World:

For those of you that want something even more intense and customized, I did create a much more detailed business intensive called the ‘Catapult Strategy’ with our accompanying PLATFORM.  – I would recommend this only if you’ve already started your business and are ready to expand it to the next level. 

 

Well dang, I think this might just get the award for the longest blog post so far! If you’ve read all the way to here, thank you. I truly hope you come join our little community of badass women either as a model (which you ARE) or a photographer – or even as someone thinking about either of those things. You are welcome here, my team and I hope to meet you soon!

30 – Greece awesomeness and next year’s destination location announcement

By | Destination Shoots, Uncategorized | No Comments

Finally on blog number 30!

In Feb or so I set out to do 30 days of consecutive-ish blogging. Whoops! I’m not gonna lie…. kinda cracking up at myself that it took almost a year to get to 30 posts. When I set out on this journey of change and re-branding I don’t think I really knew how freaking bananas it would be. I have never, ever worked so hard in my life, and for like two years straight now. Although, I will say that the change has been rewarding, and I have never been so proud of the art I create. This business just feels like an extension of who I am and what I love. For example, this post is all about travel, photography and new friends. My heart is full!!!

It’s doesn’t feel like a coincidence that we are celebrating our 30th post with the re-cap of our Greece trip. AND the launch of our next trip!! My heart is soaring at the memory of our Greece days with wonderful ladies. And the next adventure that awaits.

My goodness Greece was an incredible two weeks for us. We drove all around Mykonos and got to know it like the back of our hand. I think we did a pretty cool job of finding all the hidden gems of locations to shoot at. We drove down dirt roads that looked forbidden, asked locals where to shoot, drove behind slow cattle, swerved and curved on one lane roads, got bit by horses, warned about snakes, learned that yes a shitty rental car can drive up a hill so steep that I would have guessed a quad roll backwards, and acted like Pinterest photo detectives to make sure all our ladies got the very best locations.  Check out all the fun we had there and scroll to the very, very bottom to hear about the new trip that involves both photographers AND clients….

 

 

Aren’t these gals just the coolest!? You can just see that they are “Adventuresses” of their own right. I will be forever grateful that I was able to photograph them on now one of the most meaningful places in my heart and mind. And I have to thank Ashley and Lindsey who played a huge role in making all this happen. And Megan who stayed home and kept up the fort!

Are you ready to hear about the BIG news of our May 2018 trip? That clients (we are calling them models) AND photographers are invited?!!! Click here to see out next “Adventuress Photo Expedition!”

If you are new to us, MARISSA-INC, The Boudoir Divas, and found yourself here randomly, well let me introduce myself. My name is Marissa Boucher. I am one of the owners of The Boudoir Divas. The duo that had one of the crazy, biggest boudoir photography studios ever called “The Boudoir Divas” in San Diego. We have photographed over 4000 awesome women at our studio. We recently scaled back to a smaller, more boho, less ultra glam boudoir studio by the beach. In the past 10+ years we have also taught many other photographers about boudoir with our workshops. Some the workshops in other countries (so cool!). And we have alternated boudoir photography workshops with destination portrait photo shoots since 2008. This year I want to bring you all both!! Gah, check out my idea here.

SO PUMPED!
Marissa
