London Boudoir Photography: Miss Zuki’s Boudoir Photo Shoot
This week’s London Boudoir Photography session stars Miss Zuki,
…dancer, student, yummy mummy, and gorgeous to boot! We started off with a ballet inspired London Boudoir Photography look, complete with a frilly tu-tu and Victoria’s Secret corset borrowed from our lingerie wardrobe here at the studio.
Zuki felt confident doing her own boudoir makeup so we skipped having a professional makeup artist for her session. I think she did such a great job – heaven knows I can’t manage eyeliner wings like that!
Zuki teaches belly dancing classes, so her second London Boudoir Photography look was inspired by those shimmying hips. I love love love the gold beaded belt she brought along. The flowered bra in the image above right is also borrowed from our lingerie wardrobe here at the studio. Zuki’s shoes are her own.
It’s hard work looking so glamourous, so we moved things to the bedroom set for a bit.
I love this boudoir photo on the left – it’s the perfect blend of casual, sexy, and approachable. Sure to lure in any man!
You can never ever go wrong with sky high strappy heels and great hair. It’s a matter of fact.
Oh Zuki – it must be hard to be so beautiful!
Our last set for this London Boudoir Photography session was a pretty-in-pink ensamble,
…with one amazing head shot to finish up a fabulous shoot! Miss Zuki, thanks so much for a wonderful shoot! Can’t wait to get going with our little project – see you very soon!

London Boudoir Photography Sneak Peek: Miss Zuki in the Boudoir!
Just a quick teaser duo of Miss Zuki during her London Boudoir Photography session…
Zuki is one talented and busy lady! Yummy Mummy and studious by day, dance instructor by night (you name it, she can teach it to you), she’s got a very full plate. It was my pleasure to get to know her better last week, and I’m excited to share the results of her session with you tomorrow.
Even better, Miss Zuki and I are cooking up some uber exciting plans for a new addition to the Rebel and Romance Boudoir Photography Family. It’s hush hush for now, but stay tuned – you’re not going to miss it!

Rebel and Romance Boudoir Photography on Google Plus, and a list of boudoir photographers.
It’s heeere! The newest thing in social media is Google+, or GooglePlus, or however you want to type it. It’s Google’s answer to Facebook, and after weeks of being invitation only the monster is finally open to everyone.
I’ve jumped on the bandwagon, and although it takes a little time to get used to I’m really enjoying the Google Plus community so far. I’d LOVE for you to join me, you can get to my profile here: Stormy Sloane (Rebel & Romance Boudoir Photography) on Google+ If things kick off, I’ll be offering special Google+ exclusive deals and competitions to all my lovely boudoir babes, so come check it out!
As a resource for other photographers, I’ve also started a list of boudoir photographers on Google Plus. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other photographers in the same field, get inspired by other creatives, and maybe even talk shop with a Google Plus Hangout now and again!
It’s going to be a continual effort, so if you are a boudoir photographer and would like to be added to the list, please leave your link in the comments below. I will be limiting the Google Plus list to photographers who are actually active on Google Plus, so if you’ve not added any content to your profile….please do so before asking to be included 😉
And because posts without pictures are boooorring, a sneak peek of Miss Zuki’s Boudoir Photography Session! The rest of her images will be on the Rebel and Romance Boudoir Photography Blog next week.
Boudoir Photography Inspiration: Giorgio Armani’s ‘Boudoir’ Fashion Film
In case the end of fashion week has left you depressed and hung over, here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ to lift your spirits – a beautiful fashion film showcasing Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection. I loved this campaign in print, so much so that I ripped the images out of Vogue and pinned them to my inspiration board weeks ago!
This film features Sasha Pivovarova, Russian show-stopper supermodel and part time artist, who is probably best knows for her 6 season run with fashion house Prada. Co-star Diego Fragoso is a Brazilian born male model, and he is currently represented by Elite Agency in Milan.
I love the feel of this film, and it’s just one more testament that boudoir photography does not always have to be full of lace and fluff. Boudoir photography can be as modern and city chic as this is, or boudoir photography can be casual and relaxed, even outdoors! It is what you make of it girls!
‘Boudoir’ was created by Mert and Marcus, a dynamic duo in the world of fashion photography. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott first met in England in the mid 90’s and they joined forces shortly after. Their first photos created as a team were immediately picked up by London fashion magazine “Dazed and Confused,” and the duo has gone on to create a beautiful, creative portfolio that reads like a who’s who list of fashion.
Known for portraits of strong, sophisticated women, Mert and Marcus demand perfection. “The difference between us and other photographers is that we care a lot about appearance,” says Alas. “We spend most of the time in the make-up and hairstyling rooms.” Love it! I can’t find any information about the makeup artist, hairstylist, or styling team for this project, so if anyone knows give me a yell!
For the second half of her plus size boudoir session, Annie and I headed outside. We wanted these images to have a much more fashion oriented look, which I think we managed nicely with a black victorian era top and lacy short bottoms courtesy of Victoria’s Secret.
Bold lips, a messy up do, and glamourous earrings complete the look. Fierce!
If you missed the first half of this plus size boudoir session, then you should know that Annie is a fabulous plus size model with a heart of gold. She’s had loads of success in the industry, working for big names like Marks and Spencer and Special K!
Miss Annie has just recently signed with one of the most well respected plus size modelling agencies, Hughes Models.
Big surprise right? She’s so stunning, of course she’s on their books! If you’re feeling shocked that this is what a plus size model looks like, I HEAR YOU. The fashion industry needs a bit of a reality check if you ask me!
To finish up the shoot, we decided to get a little crazy. Larah, our makeup artist for this plus size boudoir session, was right on cue. She whipped out the most extravagant false eyelashes I’ve ever seen! I had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised when these images turned out looking so cool!
Something about these reminds me of Rachel Bilson….maybe it’s Annie’s swagger!
Did someone say pin up?
Oh Annie! You’re fab fab fab! Thanks for an amazing day, can’t wait to see you again!
Behind the scenes with plus size boudoir model Annie!
Miss Annie is a professional plus size model, and the sweetest girl ever! Check out a behind the scenes look at her boudoir session last week, and don’t forget to check out her final images on the blog here.
Stay tuned for more plus size boudoir photography, on the blog soon!
Annie is a successful plus size model, so much so that her cv includes powerhouse companies like Marks and Spencer and Special K. She’s also done a load of plus size boudoir work, modelling lingerie for all sorts of catalogs and campaigns.
Annie also happens to be one of nicest, friendliest people you’re ever going to meet! We started off our boudoir photo shoot with a simple blue lingerie set and a natural makeup look.
But what’s a plus size boudoir session without a little glamour, eh? Annie changed into a sumptuous lavender playsuit for her second look, and we got down to business with a smoky eye.
Now, I know what you’re thinking…. “Ummm, really? THIS GIRL is plus size?! THIS is plus size boudoir?” (And I hear you!) In the real world – no. Annie is beautiful and healthy at a completely normal size 14. However, in the starved world of fashion where a meal consisting of ice chips and lettuce leaves is acceptable – yes, Annie is plus size. *rolls eyes*
The good news is that even on the catwalks things are starting to change, and I’m so pleased to learn that Annie has just been accepted to one of the most prestigious plus size modelling agencies, the one and only Hughes Models!
With a face like that, it’s no surprise they snapped her up!
Annie and I had such a great shoot that I just can’t narrow down my favorites, so I’ll be posting more from her session later this week! Stay tuned for some fabulous outdoor boudoir and playful pin up props!
Beautiful Miss Annie visited our studio today! Annie is such a gorgeous plus size boudoir photography model…
…and she is an absolute gem too. Can’t wait to show you the rest of her session! Four gorgeous outfits, fun pin-up props, and plenty of sunshine – it was the full works for Miss A, and we had a great time creating her session images.
London Boudoir Photography: Alana’s Boudoir Photo Shoot!
This week’s London boudoir photography session features the gorgeous Alana, who came by a few days ago to help me test out our brand new studio. You may have caught the sneak peek I posted the other day, but if you missed it don’t worry – it’s time to see more of what we got up to right now!
I’m in love with Alana’s skin – it’s positively radient. And those eyes!
These images are what every Sunday morning should be – relaxed, beautiful, and full of light.
Next, we moved from Sunday morning to Friday night, with winged eyeliner and a sexy leather skirt – va va voom! Most of the time I have a professional makeup artist on set, but Alana did her makeup all on her own, and it looks great!
A taste of luxury on our new chaise! You can just glimpse our new mirror in the background too, but more on that later.
To finish up, we headed out to the terrace for a little outdoor London boudoir photography. We were even lucky enough to get a little sun.
Alana, you’re a stunner! Thanks so much for a great London boudoir photography session, and best of luck singing those lungs out!
