Plus Size Boudoir Photography: A’s London Boudoir Photography Shoot

Blogland, meet Miss A. You’re going to love her, just you wait and see.

A is a pretty young thing, with big doe eyes and a warm, welcoming, friendly personality. A is training to be a makeup artist, and has sort of fallen into the world of plus size modelling by accident. I liked her straight away, and we got on like a house on fire during her London Boudoir Photography session.

A’s got amazing skin. The sort of skin that just glows of it’s own accord. I just think her face is so interesting too, part baby face, part exotic beauty.

For A’s first London Boudoir Photography session, we started out with a white lace bodysuit. It’s an easy way to do a feminine look but still keep everything looking contemporary.

Our makeup artist for the day, Laura, did a fantastic job creating a look for Miss A. Loving the liner here.

Oh the headboard. We should all have one of these.

Oooh la la legs! This jacket is a great wardrobe option too. Classy, sophisticated, sexy, and magically hides any wobbly bits you may have around the middle.

A tight backlit portrait, just to show off those gorgeous eyes.

We channeled Angelina Jolie for this shot. This is a great example of how you can get away with wearing something in still images that you might not be comfortable actually stepping out in.

And then…..we made a bubble bath! I’m beyond thrilled with these images, they turned out even better than I had imagined they would.

I’m going to start adding this a regular feature for London Boudoir Photography sessions, because look! Look how cool these are!

You can easily wear a swimming costume for a bathtub set…

…but it’s still a piece of cake to create some implied nudes too.

I genuinely couldn’t decide colour or black and white on these. It’s a recurring issue with me.

Love this shot on the right. Love love love.

We did a handful of images in a fluffy white towel as well. If you like the more voyeuristic themed images, this would a great option to consider for your own London Boudoir Photography session.

To finish out the shoot, we did one quick lip change as the sun set on London, and A headed out to hit the town!

Miss A, it was so fab working with you. Thanks for a great shoot!

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Kelly’s Boudoir Session

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Kelly’s Boudoir Session

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Kelly’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

We’ve been back to the warehouse I love. This time with Kelly, a gorgeous leggy brunette. Kelly is a dancer and model, and it was a treat to have her in for a London Boudoir Photography Session.

On that note – stupid dancers. So pretty and stuff.

Anyway, Lauren (our fab makeup artist for the day) and I had fun testing out a few new ideas with Miss K. We started with a really simple setup – large window, brick wall, and a giant poly board to reflect light back on Kelly’s lovely face. This sort of shot is all about the hair and makeup, and also about nailing that effortless expression. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but Miss K did great.

I’m really loving these blue tones lately, especially with lighter coloured eyes.

Kelly is wearing a classic combo for her London Boudoir Photography shoot – detailed bra, high waisted bottoms, and my Louboutins. Or as the boys refer to them, “those red bottomed shoes.”

Same set, two different post processing finishes. I think the black and white version has a real old school glamour feel, and the warmer tones on this image on the right just makes Kelly’s lips look amazing.

Two seconds of sun. Nailed it. These are so moody!

Love these chairs. Almost as much as I love weird old couches.

This image on the right was created in front of what is literally the most poorly hung wallpaper I’ve ever seen. It’s in the makeup room, and the light was just so nice in there that I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve only included one, as I’m still a bit unsure about whether I really like it or not, lol!

 We wanted to do a softer second look, so a quick hair/makeup change and an outfit switch was what the boudoir doctor ordered. We also moved to the far end of our shooting space, since I think this corner has a totally different feel to the rest of the space.

Variation on a theme again.

Kelly rules the world, Beyonce style.

That time we found a ladder,

and rocked it.

I’m working on a bridal boudoir photography portfolio section to add to the rest of the London Boudoir Photography imagery (slowly, but surely) so I used this headband made by my fabulously crafty friend Gaby to get a few bridal boudoir portraits.

 Kelly, thanks so much, it was fab working with you!

London Boudoir Photography: Mrs. M’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

London Boudoir Photography: Mrs. M’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

London Boudoir Photography: Mrs. M’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

One more to show you from last month’s Dream Shoot at the Victorian Mansion…

Mrs. M:)

Lately, I’ve been making a real effort to meet up with clients before their London Boudoir Photography Sessions. It seems to calm nerves and help put people at ease. And unless you make a habit of getting half naked in front of the camera, odds are you’re going to be a little nervous. It’s been really nice doing it too – you’re all so lovely. And let’s face it, I’m not one to turn down an overpriced cup of coffee or sneaky mid-week cocktail, now am I?

Unfortunately, Mrs. M and I live quite far apart, so we didn’t have a chance to get together pre-shoot. However, I’m happy to report that after exchanging lots of emails, she arrived in one piece, well prepared and ready to shoot. We made up for it by having a good long gab while viewing her images post-shoot anyway.

Mrs. M is like many of you in that she’s been thinking about booking a London Boudoir Photography Session for a long time (years), but has only just finished her first one! Losing that proverbial ten pounds will suck up a whole ten years if you let it, so this is my official advice – forget the scale. Book your session for a month or so out, and promise yourself you’ll eat healthily for the few weeks leading up to your shoot. After all, there’s nothing like the thought of being in lingerie on camera to motivate you to dodge the fried stuff. If you get to the magical number by the time your London Boudoir Photography Session comes around, fab. If not, so what? Me and my good friend Photoshop have got your back. Or bum. Or whatever bit might need a little love;) The only person who thinks you’re not good enough/slim enough/young enough/pretty enough/confident enough/whatever enough to do this is you, so get out of your own way already. You are more than enough exactly as you are.

Okay, I’ll step off my soap box now. On to Mrs. M’s shoot!

Mrs. M and I started off her London Boudoir Photography Session with an oversized jumper and combat boots, because we could.

This image ended up being both my favourite, and hers. If I told you how old Mrs. M is, you’d call me a liar.

The light coming in from this window was perfect for a moody, sultry image. Mrs. M wanted to keep things fairly casual, and a white tank is a great way to do that. It’s approachable, and much easier than stockings and suspenders.

Mrs. M’s hair is toned with a little bit of purple at the moment, and it shows up so nicely in the sun.

Just dancing on the stairs, as you do.

Reason number 548 why I love this place: old doors opening to gorgeous room with massive chandelier.

Oh, the red lip.  And the opera gown. And the sultry stare. Love it.

 So, we tried this for a laugh. I was dubious at first, afraid it might look too tacky or prop heavy, but I actually think this turned out really cute!

Mrs. M, I’m so glad I had the chance to work with you. Thanks for a great London Boudoir Photography Session, and a lovely chat with you and your Mr. the other day. Until next time;)

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Krysten’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Krysten’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

London Boudoir Photography: Miss Krysten’s Boudoir Photo Shoot

Welcome to my dream shoot, exhibit number three:)

This is Krysten. Photographer of famous musicians worldwide. Producer. Owner of many intricate and painfully acquired tattoos.

Krysten rang me in a panic. She had suddenly found herself in desperate need of a wedding gift for her soon-to-be wife, with no time to spare. It’s not ideal to do something like this super last minute, but I just couldn’t say no, especially to someone about to be hitched! We hastily exchanged details and got to work arranging her first London Boudoir Photography Session with Rebel & Romance.

I always feel a little odd photographing a fellow photographer. It must be similar for chefs who cook for other chefs, or surgeons who find themselves operating on other surgeons…or maybe I’ve just been watching too much Grey’s Anatomy again. Anyway, no matter, because Krysten and I got along swell and managed to create some really beautiful work together. In some ways, it’s actually easier to photograph another photographer – we speak the same neurotic language, so when I make a comment about the colour of light in a room she doesn’t look at me like I’ve lost my mind:)

Krysten has such a strong, unique look, so it was thrilling to photograph her in a decidedly Victorian space. I’m all about mixing it up, and this was the perfect chance to do so on a London Boudoir Photography Session.

Shabam. Krysten is fierce.

Also, oh-so-pretty and soft.

Love love love this sofa. Miss K is perfection in this image, no?

I had to also include a gutsy black and white version. If you don’t like this image, I don’t like you. Kidding. Well, sort of kidding.

Dreamy feline eyes.

I know a lot of you are hesitant about creating nude images during your London Boudoir Photography Sessions, but if you’re flirting with the idea there are lots of easy ways to give the impression of nudity without requiring anything even close. In these images, I had Krysten cozy up to the drapes and slip off a single bra strap. So easy and beautiful, but still completely covered up.

Love this image, Miss K looks so dreamy and relaxed.

Another London Boudoir Photography staple: the classic black heel. Don’t leave home without it. Or if you have to (explanation coming) borrow one of mine.

My pasty, boring skin and I felt very plain after photographing Miss K.

This image on the right is my very favourite from Krysten’s set. She’s just so effortlessly cool in a sort of non-retro Amy Winehouse sort of way.

A few detail images of tattoos significant to her wifey:)

Who has time to part your hair properly when you’re this rebel-may-care? Not us.

Second favourite.

This image idea was all Krysten’s, tweaked a bit by me. Team work makes the dream work.

So funny story: Miss K had a few things picked out to bring along to her shoot, but then got ambushed at the last hurdle by her soon-to-be-Mrs. She was too busy dodging rapid-fire questions like “What do you need high heels at work for?” to come up with a decent excuse, so she frantically stashed her bag of lingerie in a cupboard and rushed out the door. Krysten arrived on set with no more lingerie than what she happened to have on under her clothes that day. While a good black set can take you a long way, I had my chunky All Saints knit with me, and I decided to recruit it in for a few images.

I love how these turned out. So cozy and soft. All Miss K needs now is a cup of tea and a good book by the fire.

Krysten, it was so great to photograph you and get to know you! Thanks so much for all your help on the day as well, hope they go down a treat with your Mrs.
