Hotel for boudoir pics?
I know this was mentioned in the last couple of months but I seem to be having a difficult time finding a place for these pictures.
I know that Hotel Indigo has a Groupon special right now, but I worry that the really bright colors in the rooms won't exactly give the pictures the appropriate feel: clicky.
Also, it seems like it's impossible to get a nice room for b-pics for under $100 on a week night! I thought I had seen someone post that at NYLO: Las Colinas you can get a room for $70-$90, but when I checked their website the absolute lowest price is $155.
Anyone have pricing on where they did theirs or suggestions? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I also don't want to spend money on the session and then not like the pictures because I cheaped out on the location.
TIA!

Re: Hotel for boudoir pics?
I've stayed at Hotel Indigo twice and while cute, I agree it's probably not what you are looking for.
ETA: I don't know how soon you are wanting to do these but I get the Magnolia's specials all the time for $99--not sure how I got on their e-mail list but maybe you could sign up.

I used a Marriott, nothing fancy at all. I just made sure the carpet, bedding and headboard werent too dated looking, but honestly you dont see much of any of that in the pictures.
My boss' wife did do some pretty artsy ones at the Stoneleigh and they were beautiful. But she spent a pretty penny.

Also- I agree with Stephie- Belmont is a lot of fun. I think boudoir pictures turn out great regardless of the place as long as you have 1) a window if you think natural light is important (some photogs do, some photogs don't care) 2) a bed with clean lines.
Most of the time, boudoir pics have such a shallow depth of field that you only see what is in the foreground (you!). You could always bring a blanket or sheet if you want an extra punch to the decor.

<div>That makes total sense about the NYLO :) I'm doing them on a weekday because that was the only session available in February, since they've got March and April booked up with engagements and I really didn't want to wait until May to do them, since I'm going on a cruise in the beginning of March and will likely have terrible tan/burn lines after :)</div>
[QUOTE]Call the specific hotel (not the national numbers) and ask if they do any day rates. I know you can rent my hotel for a few hours and its half of the rate for whatever the night is.

What hotel are you using? That would be great if I could find somewhere that does day rentals.
Have you checked out the aloft Hotels?
