Its been busy for boudoir lately. On a very hot Saturday afternoon I had another shoot, this time with Claire. Wow! She really knew how to ‘work it’. I’m always surprised at how good my boudoir clients are at modelling, having never done anything like this before. And I love that every shoot is different and unique because every girl brings their own special brand of sensuality and femininity. We tried a few different lingerie looks again. This time I had make-up artist, Jennifer Ireland with me who was a fantastic help. I’m not just saying it because I love working with her, but the make-up was stunning on this. Having this extra treatment on your shoot really adds to the experience. Thank-you so much Claire for letting me share these.

We changed up the look and the lighting a little for this ‘screen siren’ shot…

Love this set. I was quite jealous that Claire had the cold air blowing on her here as the sweat trickled down my back. It was a great look and it kept her cool. Double score :)

I’ve been busy designing up Kirsty’s boudoir book today so, with permission of course, I’m excited to be able to share just a few pages. I loved so many of Kirsty’s photos and I’m very honoured that she invited me along to do this for her.  It is such a beautiful gift for her husband to be. I’d love to see the look on his face when he receives it!

Watching her

I love spaghetti nights.

Mostly I’ll just sit, watching, quietly amused. This time, I thought it would be fun to share. It’s probably the trickiest food of them all. It gets away from you. Niamh is trying to use the fork and do a nifty twist move like the rest of us. This never works well, so she’ll try the one string at a time method, slurping like mad. But when your a hungry two-year-old with no patience, this takes too long so she ends up frustrated and just piles the lot into her mouth! Needless to say, if this was tomato sauce mix, she wouldn’t be wearing that dress!

Anyway, no matter how busy life might be, it’s important take time to remember the little things :)

Caitlin

Finally, those Caitlin photos that were promised!

I’m behind this week already but working hard to catch up. Alot of boudoir and other shoots which won’t be appearing on the blog. Can’t wait to show to my clients though :)

In the absence of these, I thought it would be a good time to post the pics I took of Caitlin a few weeks ago. I may have the ‘family blinkers’ on so I won’t say too much. Just that she is getting cuter and more gorgeous every time I see her. Her mum and I giggled our way through these photos because she posed, and she posed, and then she posed some more! Check out the most chubby, cherubesque (is that a word?) thighs ever. Love the grabby feet stage :)

On another note, I finished my teaching today. The boys got me sweets, wine, and even made a special card over their breaktime. Bless their wee smelly socks! For the first time ever, I will concentrate solely on being a photographer. I no longer have to work three jobs. Excited. Of course I will still be performing (struggling) at my most important job as MUM!

The Boudoir Sessions

I’ve become increasingly busy with Boudoir Photography. It’s the best feeling in the world to be able to make these women feel empowered, sexy and alive! This is a magazine style photoshoot either at your home or on location. Make-up and hair can also be arranged to give you the full celebrity treatment. There are also lots of outfit changes and you can show a little skin or alot. Its totally up to you. Shoes are good. And they can be as high as you like for this!!!

I will then take those images (maybe do a little nip and tuck here and there) and create a beautiful, sexy boudoir book. It makes a perfect wedding gift for your h2b or just a little something special for yourself! I don’t post alot of this on the blog, to respect the privacy of my clients, but if you are interested in having a shoot like this, contact me to see more.

Also, I am always looking for hair and make-up people to team up with on boudoir shoots to create the different looks required. Email me or tweet me if you are interested in getting involved!
