London Boudoir Photography: Miss Jane’s Boudoir Photo Shoot
More Dream Shoot loveliness on the blog today:)
Jane and I had a super short London Boudoir Photography Session, as we spent most of our time together playing dress up in her sister’s Bridal gown. I know, such a hard life. More on that later.
For now, an abbreviated London Boudoir Photography Session with Miss J, who has the longest, prettiest mermaid hair you ever did see. She’s such a sweetheart too, it’s impossible not to instantly like her. We only had time for one look, but managed to get a few different sets in quickly.
This is how you know you’re working with a professional: the first frame is the image on the left. The first frame!
We hustled upstairs to make use of this 70’s/retro inspired decor. I’m not really a 70’s sort of girl, but I love how these turned out just the same.
This wall. Oh this wall. I’m told it was custom designed and made by hand. Totally worth it – it looks amazing!
So, something about this wall reminds me of the Flintstones, and something about this chair reminds me of the Jetsons. I don’t really think Jane fits into either show, but she’s looking fab just the same. Also, these high waisted bottoms are a great option if you’re a bit self-conscious about your mid-section. They’ll do a bit of camouflage work for you without giving anything away:)
One last pose of Jane and her pretty pointed toes.
My favourite two images of Miss J’s London Boudoir Photography Session, without a doubt.
Jane, you make it look so easy! Thanks for a fab shoot:)

Plus Size Boudoir Photography: Jada’s Boudoir Photo Shoot
My dream shoot, at a beautiful beyond belief Victorian mansion the first week of this month, was ahhhhmazing. You all ought to know that by now though, because I’ve been blabbering on about if for long enough. However, I packed the day way too full, which means that I’ve spent the last two weeks absolutely glued to my Mac. There were so images to wade through and picking favourites was a horrible, miserable, heart-wrenching process. My hand to turned into a Photoshop claw relatively quickly too, which is just about as sexy as it sounds.
I’d like to start with a quick disclaimer. Please know that my use of the term “plus size” throughout this post is simply a result of my desire to get this work in front of the people it might speak to. I don’t think “plus size” is a great thing to call curvy women, but it just happens to be what most curvy women type into google when looking for a boudoir photographer. Please don’t be offended if you hate the term – I’m not keen on it either!
All that aside, it’s time. You’ve waited long enough. Allow me to introduce my first victim….the lovely Miss J!
Miss Jada is represented by Hughes Models, and as far as I can tell she’s about to take over the entire plus size modeling world, one dangerous curve at a time. I loved working with Jada, first because she’s just so gorgeous, and second because it’s great to show you, my darling potential clients, a body shape that might be a little more relatable to your own. Beauty is beauty, nobody around here is afraid of a few curves, so I hope you won’t be either:)
In preparing for her Plus Size Boudoir Photography Session, I had suggested to Jada that she bring some shape wear as one of her outfits. I’m pretty sure she had zero faith in that idea, but she gave it a go anyway. As you can see, it really, really works. Shape wear is my new BFF – I don’t really understand either, but no matter how granny it looks on the hanger, it always seems to look amazing on camera!
Jada’s outfit is so simple – nude shapewear, nude platform heels, and a little bit of bling. It’s a monochromatic palette that never fails when paired with a soft, feminine location. Who doesn’t love a little bit of distressed glamour anyway?
Perfection.
Perfection, pulled back and in colour.
Loved this mirror! I shot it all day long, but this turned out to be my favourite image using it.
Look number two for Jada’s Plus Size Boudoir Photography session was a basic black lingerie set and strappy black heels. Props to Lauren and Anita for a fantastic job on hair and makeup.
Lovely lovely.
So then I found this sofa and fell madly in love. It’s obviously fallen straight from photographer heaven.
Oh Miss J, this pose kills me.
Also, these antique doors were amazing. This series was so fun to shoot, and I think it’s a great example of how a plus size boudoir photography session is hardly any different than a regular one – curvy girls move better if you ask me!
Moving like a boss. NBD.
We thought we’d give the neighbors a treat as well. As you do.
There’s something so authentic and beautiful about shooting outside. I never get tired of it, even though it tends to throw up all sorts of practicality obstacles like cold, and rain, and bugs, and a lot of security guards asking a lot of questions:) We took full advantage of having a privately owned outdoor space for a change.
Had to get at least one giant smile in.
Jada, you’re so gorg!
Miss J, it was lovely lovely lovely working with you. Thanks for a great shoot!

London Boudoir Photography: Miss M’s Boudoir Photo Shoot
As you know, last week’s Dream Shoot was fantastic. I’m powering through editing and retouching all the gorgeous girls I photographed that day, but I’m not quite ready to show you the results yet. In the meantime, I though I’d treat you to an oldie but goodie from the London Boudoir Photography session vault…
This is Miss M, who was impossible. I mean, every image turned out terrible. She’s really ugly, has horrible style, and don’t even get me started on how poorly behaved she is. I pretty much hated working with her and her stupid short legs (oh sarcasm, my old friend).
I kid. The truth is that I LOVE everything about Miss M, and her two best gal pals who came along for moral support too. Miss M is in a verrrrry long distance, long term relationship. In an effort to keep her man from having a meltdown in her absence, she dropped me a hesitant email asking about how this whole boudoir thing works. We exchanged a few emails, and soon realised we were a perfect client-photographer fit. We immediately started making plans, which included a sneaky little anniversary surprise album to send to her Mr. back home.
We had tons of fun, plenty of laughs, and lots of push-yourself-right-out-of-that-comfort-zone moments during Miss M’s London Boudoir Photography session. Miss M comes from a small rural town. A place where people look at you funny if you wear a skirt. A place where going to a nice restaurant is the equivalent of chicken at Nando’s. A place where I’d bet my last coin that boudoir photography is not the “done thing.” These sort of nerves are totally understandable, and familiar to me personally, but I’m happy to report that Miss M and her Mr. both thought it was totally worth it:) In fact, he was even given permission to open the album we created before their anniversary – such as lucky boy.
Without further delay, a few of my favourites from Miss M’s London Boudoir Photography Session:
OH hi, my name is Miss M and I have a PERFECT FACE. ugh.
I also have an AMAZING body. double ugh. Miss M, if you weren’t such a genuine, funny, adorably loveable person and scared stiff about doing this, I would have thrown you out in disgust.
This set outside was beautiful, I think the canopy makes these look really soft and feminine without being too girly and sickly. I love a happy coloured lingerie set on a London Boudoir Photography Session too.
Aww, happy face Miss M.
Shabam! I’m a sucker for images like this. Look at those eyes!
Miss M has such great hair, don’t you think? Oh to be blonde…
Oh yeah. This happened too. So edgy and cool, just like a good fashionista should be:)
My love affair with the sun and the shadows it creates will never end. Also, I am willing to trade my pinkie toes for legs like that. Just show me where to sign.
Shall we talk about this bodysuit too? It’s so interesting and detailed.
How to be feminine and evocative without showing lots of skin: pencil skirt, push up bra, secretary sweater, heels. Lose a few buttons. Done.
I feel like this outfit really sums up all the things I love, and demonstrates what makes Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography and my amazing clients different. You know, we like fashion – real fashion. We don’t like ho-bags. We want to look impossibly beautiful, not like strippers, not like we’re trying too hard. We’ll take V Mag, not page 3, and we’ll do it with or without your approval, thankyouverymuch.
La la la London
Miss M, you were such a joy to photograph. Thanks for putting up with the ONE DAY of sweltering heat we got last year, and for giving Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography a go. I’m so thrilled to know you, and can’t wait to meet your main squeeze soon:)

London Boudoir Photography: A video debrief of our “dream shoot” at a Victorian Mansion in London
Just a quick video today to fill you in on how our London Boudoir Photography dream shoot went on Wednesday!
It was, in a word, FAB. Such a busy, crazy day but totally worth it. The venue was gorgeous and exceeded expectations, we all kept finding new things to gush about. I spent the day surrounded by beautiful, powerful women and, basically, squealing with excitement:)
