Very Berry Skin Beautifier

• 1 cup blackberries
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup raspberries

We highly recommend using organic fruit or fruit homegrown in your garden, if possible. Wash all fruit, cut stems, and place them all in a juicer. You can use a blender also for this one, if you don’t have a juicer. But it may make a thicker end result, which makes a delicious dessert alternative. You can add a large orange and a banana to add more juice for mixing and sweeten up the berries. Berries, bananas, and oranges are high in vitamins A, B, C, E and K, among other nutritional values. They are all delicious building blocks for a healthy-feeling and beautiful-looking skin. Serve in a tall glass for drinking if using orange juice, or in a cup to eat like dessert if it ends up thicker than juice.

Green Clean Skin Booster

• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 large carrots
• 1 cup spinach
• ½ apple

Wash, cleanup stems, and chop up all ingredients. For this juice you will need a juicer because of the firmer vegetables that would need to be blended really fine in order to drink. Juice all the ingredients and alternate soft ingredients with firmer ones.  Carrots are high in A which helps maintaining skin cells alive, as well as beta-carotene and antioxidants which help prevent skin damage.  Spinach contains high levels of beta-carotene as well, which additionally offers free radical protection converting into vitamin A in the body. It also has vitamins C  & E which are miracle workers for your skin.  Apples are great for smooth skin and are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C. Celery is rich in magnesium, iron, chlorophyll, folic acid, C and also has B vitamins and vitamin E which are all delicious for your skin health. Let your inner goddess shone through with this juice!

Summertime Smooth Skin Refresher

• 1 cucumber
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 large carrots
• 1 apple

As previous, wash, cleanup stems, and chop up all items. Cucumbers are great for you skin whether you ingest them or apply the, directly on your skin. They  are rich in silica which is important for the complexion and skin elasticity.  Leave the peel on  when prepping the cucumbers because most of the silica is in the peel.  If you can’t buy organic cucumbers then it may be best to remove the peel before juicing. Same with the apple. If you have leftover cucumbers, cut them in ringlets and use them on your eyes for a refreshing awaking sensation. This recipe is great for your skin refreshing it and helping it stay silk and smooth. All the beauty vitamins in the ingredients will help your skin feel and stay beautifully alive.

Have fun with these delicious and miracle working juice recipes giving your skin a super healthy boost to glow. Make homemade juices a regular part of your diet in order to see results that stick around. Besides, not only is your skin your largest body organ, but the rest of your body organs will love you as well if you ingest them with all these nutritional goodies. Feel beautiful, look beautiful and let your inner goddess shine!

Hi Lindsay,

I just sent Kirstie a message through her website and was hoping to send one to Jessica, as well, but this will do

I worked with these fabulous ladies last Wednesday for my shoot and I just wanted to thank them for making this easily one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I came to them with serious self image/body issues after having had 2 kids and, while not pregnant, ballooning up to 265lbs and losing it again. I have loose skin and massive stretch marks and they made me feel like a runway model! I’m not a drinker so I didn’t have that to help take off the edge but these ladies are so incredible they quickly calmed my nerves. Kirstie made me look more gorgeous than I’ve EVER looked in my life and has a spunky, fun way about her that is contagious and makes you feel confident. Jessica is super sweet and creative and was amazing at giving me feedback during the shoot that made me feel super sexy! These two make a perfect duo and had me feeling pampered and fussed over and GORGEOUS! You have the most incredible team and I feel so blessed that I got to work with them! It’s a beautiful and unique service that you offer to real women who are constantly measuring themselves against the cover model. I’m so grateful I stumbled upon Peekaboo Portland and will continue to rave about your services and send my girls your way!

P.S. I originally did this shoot as a gift for my fiancee. However, I feel I’m the one who received the greatest gift of all; seeing the beauty in me and finding confidence as a sexy woman!

Sincerely,

Miss K.

Summer feels so close we can almost smell it! That means our bodies have awakened from the long winter and we are ready for some fun summertime in the sun. It also means that it is the best time for a boudoir photoshoot! We are more active in the summer with everything we do, from active games on sandy beaches, to swimming and different other water sports,  to wild sunny hikes in the full bloom nature. Our bodies get shaped up naturally, our skin gets the most silky gold tan and cheeks get that beautiful natural blush. Additionally we tend to be more hydrated because we are more conscious and aware of the fact that we need more H2O in our bodies compare to winter. Hydration makes for a healthy glowing skin and beautiful hair. So you have all the right reasons and best mood in the summertime to get your body grooving in front of the camera for a boudoir photoshoot.

Whether you do it for your own sexy self or to pleasurably surprise your man, now is the time for a boudoir photoshoot. Make sure to schedule with us quick because we book fast for summertime. You can contact us as at at 503-964-7063  or email us at info[at]peekabooportland[dot]com to get started and be on your way to capture your beautiful sexy self on timeless gorgeous images.

Hello lovely Peekaboo ladies!

Today we’re excited to share with you three of our most favorite products that our talented make-up artist, Kirstie Wight, uses when preparing our clients for their Peekaboo photoshoots. The natural beauty of our clients, combined with a touch of these hot products, makes them look gorgeous for their boudoir photoshoot with Peekaboo. The products below are listed in no particular order.

Urbanglow Creme Highlight in Sin tone, by Urban Decay

This awesome creamy highlighter emphasizes your assets adding luminescence wherever you need it. It can be used to create sculpted cheek and brow bones and make you look like you got a full night’s sleep with a touch of it on the inner corners of yours eyes, giving you a beautiful youthful glow.

Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector, in Opal or Pearl tone

This sheer liquid highlighter and moisturizer not only veils your skin in a soft pearlised glow but it also provides broad-spectrum sun protection and a touch of antioxidant health! We love using it to add a subtle shimmer all over the face and prime the skin for the foundation. It is luminous and it has light-reflecting particles that diffuse uneven tone. Just a little bit of perfect beauty touch.

Prtty Peaushun by Bethany Karlyn

This is a skin tight body lotion, created by celebrity make-up artist Bethany Karlyn. It has skin firming qualities that make a great difference in photos, prepping the skin with a silky smooth finish look. It has subtle light-reflecting particles in a natural emollient base which gives the skin a gorgeous glow. It has 92% natural raw ingredients, includes no parabens, and best of all, it is 100% vegan which we absolutely love!

We just want to point out that even though we love these products, we firmly believe that the very best thing you can equip yourself with for your Peekaboo boudoir photoshoot, or your everyday look, is really your honest, natural, and beautiful personality and attitude! We love that about our beautiful clients and it is the best beauty secret we could share with you. Be beautiful, by being YOU!

Miss J’s boudoir photoshoot was fantastic! We could write paragraph after paragraph about it but we think these images speak well for themselves. We had so much fun and miss J did too. She showcased her beauty in front of the camera like a pro resulting to these sultry photos that are worth a thousand descriptive words! We love her choice of outfits, varying from sweet sexy pink lingerie set, to the vixen black lace one-piece, to the sexy athletic white tank top and socks, she made all of them look so hot with her rocking body and attitude and we’re thrilled with the results.

Attitude makes everything and we love that the most about our ladies. Thank you miss J for choosing Peekaboo Portland for your boudoir photography experience!
