London Boudoir Photography: Lorraine’s Boudoir Photo Shoot. Part Two.
About a hundred years ago, the lovely Mrs. L and I got together for her very first London Boudoir Photography Session. It’s been such a long time in the works, but I’m happy to share a few of my favourite images from her session with you today.
And my oh my, Lorraine turned up with some of the most delicious lingerie and jewelry I’ve seen in a long time. It was sparkly diamonds here, feathered details there, and spiky heels all around.
A little back story: Lorraine and her Mr. first got serious about battling the bulge together while planning their wedding, and they have been working with a personal trainer ever since. I’m well impressed with their dedication. Husbands and wives have a way of either making each other better (NO CAKE FOR YOU!) or dragging each other into the depths of junk food despair (chicken and chips? mmmm). Getting fit and healthy together? A lovely plan.
This photo shoot was a surprise for Mr.s L’s husband, but it was also a well deserved reward for hard work she’s put in lately. I think anyone who knows a personal trainer knows…they can be very hard work indeed.
Without further ado, Mrs. Lorraine’s London Boudoir Photography Session.
We started off with this floral, feminine set. I love the layered textures, and it’s often nice to have a soft look to open your London Boudoir Photography album. It gives us a chance to work into the more daring numbers:)
Mrs. L is wearing a lovely white lace corset-like lingerie set here. If you’re a soon-to-be bride, this would be an excellent option. It’s delicate and bridal, without being too froofy.
OH the eyes. So pretty!
I love Lorraine in this light. Such a killer pose too. I’m not 100% certain, but I’m pretty sure she’s wearing my peep toe Alexander McQueen heels in this image. You’re welcome to borrow them for your own session if you wish, they are verrrrry fun. No picnic to walk in mind you, but who needs to walk anyway?
Hot much? I squealed (audibly) when I caught that power pose on the right.
A diamond spider. I didn’t even know I was missing this from my life, but now I need one. Neeeed one.
I was a little nervous when Mrs. L pulled out these feather earrings. I really like them, but big accessories have a way of taking over a photograph. We gave it a go anyway, and I’m so glad we did. Silly me, thinking anything could take away from that sultry glare.
Feather earrings, spider bracelet, leather lingerie, and leopard stilettos. It sounds like waaaaay too much, but I think the end result works just great. It’s our ode to animals for the day.
Love this image. How great does her skin look?
I had to sneak this one in too. Sometimes clients say this to me, “I have a tattoo…is that okay?” and I am flabbergasted. Of course it’s okay, don’t be ridiculous.
You just can’t go wrong with a proper lace up corset. I have literally never seen a body type it didn’t work for.
Lorraine, it was so fun working with you. Hope you and your Mr. and your two fur children have a great summer, and I’m looking forward to round two!

London Boudoir Photography: Behind the Scenes at Danielle’s Boudoir Photo Shoot
An extra little treat today!
You remember bootylicious Danielle? If not, you can check out her gorgeous London Boudoir Photography session on the blog here. I couldn’t fit everything I wanted to show into a single post, so there’s even more of her London Boudoir Photography Session here.
Miss D was happy to let me play around with shooting a little bit of video during her London Boudoir Photography Session, which I’m happy to share with you today. It’s like a little peek behind the curtain if you will. You’ll hear me and Debbie gushing. No need to tell us we are ridiculous and over the top – we already know;) Odds are, we’ll gush about you too, so best prepare yourselves.

By now I think most of you know that I’ve ditched the traditional photo studio in favour of custom selected locations for my boudoir sessions. It’s more original, more tailored…more fun.
For Danielle (die hard Stevie Nicks fan, wearer of the ombre hair, a girl who finds it odd that every woman doesn’t own high waisted leopard print knickers) we needed something out of the ordinary. I wanted a location that fit her hippie rocker vibe, but would still give us beautiful light and a few creature comforts in the dead of winter. I managed to rustle up a repurposed textile warehouse with plenty of windows (and a heater!) and our stage was set. I’m a little bit in love with this place, and can’t wait to shoot another London Boudoir Photography session here soon.
But let’s just jump right in, shall we?
I bought a top hat for this London Boudoir Photography session with Danielle. Best. Move. Ever.
I might start making you all wear hats when you come to shoot with me. There are so many posing options – peek out from under hat, pretend to hide behind much-too-small-to-hide-behind hat, tip hat to gorgeous invisible man in the next room…
Miss D wore a blue and black lacy lingerie set for these images, complete with black stockings. A set like this is great. If you can find one like Danielle’s, where the colour stays focused at the midline of the body but the edges are black, it creates an optical illusion that helps to direct the eye to your most flattering bits. It’s just like those bodycon dresses, but a little less kaleidoscope looking:)
Oh I know – enough with the hat already. We got a bit carried away, but it was so much fun. Look – just look how fabulous and happy Miss D is in her top hat.
I have to include this one as well, because it ended up being such a nice beauty image. Images like this are one of the reasons I prefer to work in natural light. Everything ends up looking so effortless, and it makes for creamy dreamy skin too.
Miss D’s next look was a daring leopard print combo. A deep red lip to match, and we were ready for a smoky jazz bar.
It can be tricky to look demure and poised in a slouchy old sofa, but Miss D pulled it off with ease.
Pretty pretty Miss D.
For our last set, Danielle whipped out this number, and ooh la la LOVE IT. This is the perfect way to get a bit of boudoir in your life, even if you’re not comfortable showing much skin. Also, I’m not saying any of you need it, but you can also hide a whole lotta shape wear and Spanx under something like this if you want to;)
It’s images like these that make me so proud (and bring the boys to the yard). I’m seriously contemplating stealing Danielle’s hairstyle. Is it to late to go ombre?
A final few to end on. Miss D, you wowed us all at your Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography Session. Can’t wait for next time;)

Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography: You’re all invited to my dream shoot in March
Every once in a while, I come across a location that has obviously fallen straight from boudoir photography heaven. I’d love to work at these venues, but the sheer cost of hiring them has made them seem out of reach for most London Boudoir Photography Sessions. Then I had a flash of inspiration, and the GROUP DAY was born.
It works like this:
I arrange an amazing venue and top notch makeup/hair team for a selected date.
You see what we’ve got planned, fall in love, and book in for a shoot on that day.
You invite friends and family to book in too. Other fabulous women also decide to join us.
Everyone gets a private boudoir session with me, in a to-die-for location, for nothing extra.
I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that you ladies like this idea. I have a hunch you will. Without further ado, the first installment…
GROUP DAY – MARCH 6TH – VICTORIAN STATELY HOME IN NORTH LONDON
This is the place:
I told you it was good. I honestly can’t think of a better venue for a few gorgeous London Boudoir Photography sessions.
Here’s some more.
A darker option as well…
…oh and a lovely garden. Kid not included.
And one last floor for your inner disco diva.
I’m calling this MY DREAM SHOOT, because it is. Located in North London with good public transport links, it’s floor after floor of period furniture, beautiful light, and amazing photographic potential everywhere you turn. I’ve hired this entire venue for Wednesday, the 6th of March, and I’d love to see you there.
The day is mostly booked up, but
I have room for one London Boudoir Photography Session (one hour in hair and makeup, two hours with me shooting) for 300 Pounds, or a few shorter sessions (45 minutes in hair and makeup, 1 hour with me shooting) for 200 Pounds.
If you’re interested, slots are first come, first serve, so please contact me right away to avoid dissapointment. You can reach me (Stormy) at 07799 390468 or by email at stormy@rebelandromance.com
Hope to see a few of you there! Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or a chat, especially if this might be your first Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography session.
