You guys….we’re nearly there! Just a few more days and then CHRISTMAS.
In the spirit of the season, here’s a few of my favourites from very festive boudoir photography session with Kat and her adorable pup.
I mean….come on. How can you not love these two?
No boys allowed at the studio, but we’ll make an exception for boy puppies.
These little clip-in reindeer antlers are genius. I’m wearing them right now actually.
An attempt at a Christmas light/bokeh background. I used a technique meant for photographing bottles of perfume, and I didn’t realise how much additional background space I’d need to photograph a human, so we ended up with just a few feet of space to use.
Still, it did *technically* work.
A few simple backlit frames.
That haaairrrrrr.
Kat always has the most incredible wardrobe.
If you’re not feeling the see-through bra, pasties are a great way to get a bit more coverage. There are lots of lovely options now, so if you’ve been put off by the tassle and the distinctly burlesque feel it’s worth a second look;)
I think this is my favourite image of the day. Maybe. Ralf is pretty cute…
Kat is incredibly fit at the moment because A) she’s amazing, and B) she’s doing lots of arial work and other circusy things. You can see a hint of her abs in this frame, even though we’ve flooded her with soft light.
My favourite chunky knit jumper makes another appearance.
It’s so cozy. If you like this look, you can borrow it for your shoot too.
My favourite little pup Ralf and his mummy.
Christmas kisses.
*swoon* Ralf likes eating socks off your feet. He’s not a fan of stairs, and he has exactly two speeds: mental or sleeping.
Nothing but bow;)
I’m so glad we did these – implied nudes get a bit of a bad reputation, but they can be really lovely if done well.
Kat did her own makeup for this shoot, and it’s a great example of an eye that works really well for boudoir shoots of all styles – it’s a bit smoky, but nothing too fake or heavy that will distract from a lovely face.
A bit more sultry for these.
We thought about lighting an actual fire, but it seemed too risky with a hyperactive pup in tow.
Finally, a fun idea I’ve been playing around with. Photoshop snow people, it’s amazing.
Kat, what can I say? It was so lovely to work with you again:)
Happy Holidays everyone. Thank you for a wonderful year, and I’ll see you on the other side!
