First and foremost, our amazing team that we have had for years now at the Boudoir Divas studio in San Diego: Deena Cormier, Erin Greene, Sarah McAllister, Lindsey Estes, and Peggy Rogers. Your support and dedication to the Boudoir Divas vision and mission has helped our studio become one of the most sought-after boudoir studios in the world. Not only that, but it is because of your dedication that we have been given the freedom to pursue teaching and writing. Thank you for all you have done in helping us create this new ebook.
