Senior Portrait season is done and there are plenty of studios in town doing traditional family portraits, so I would like to branch out in a slightly different direction. I think my work with models would uniquely position me to do some sexy images that would be appropriate for valentines day gift or maybe an intimate gift from a bride to her new husband (I hear this is becoming more popular overseas). While the word "glamour" reminds me of old hollywood glamour, I think many people around here will think of the "Glamour Shots" that were popular back in the 80's. I've heard the term Boudoir used as well, but I think that's a bit to narrow for what I want to do. I need a word or phrase that can be used to describe the gallery and in some promotional materials. I realize this may sound like a silly request, but I would like to open myself up to that market without being too "in your face" about it.

Thanks!

Scintillation photography? Pizzazz, allure, flair?

allure would probably be a good word...
