London Boudoir Photography: Danielle’s Boudoir Photo Shoot. Part Two.
Miss Danielle was such a firecracker that it’s taken two blog posts to contain her. If you missed the first half, don’t worry. You can still catch Miss Danielle’s Boudoir Photo Shoot (part ONE) here.
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;)
