Hello lovelies, meet C.

She’s celebrating a big birthday this year, and her boudoir session was a treat to herself.

We started the day with this strappy black bodysuit, which I loved. I’ve never seen one with that great plunging drape at the front.

I wish I could remember where she said she found it. If you want something similar for your own shoot let me know and I’ll ask.

You certainly don’t have to have a fancy bed for a boudoir session, but I do love this one:)

So pretty.

The leg show is in town.

C looks so calm and serene here – see, nothing scary at all!

Heavenly.

If you’re a Mum like C, you might want to take note of her wardrobe. She’s not a huge fan of her stomach, and she did a brilliant job selecting wardrobe that covers the areas that she’s not so keen on.

I think boudoir wardrobe (and boudoir posing in general) is all about playing to your strengths. My motto is this: let’s highlight your best bits and downplay anything you’re not fond of. Unless you think your legs are crap but the are, in fact, freakingamazing. In that case, I’ll be documenting just how wrong you’ve been;)

You can’t go wrong with an all black look like this. Get the stockings too, it really pulls the outfit together.

A messy updo, Louboutins, and a big smile. Win win win.

Hazy afternoon sun. If only it had been as warm outside as this image suggests.

Another bodysuit, this one with sequins!

Just lovely.

A tried and true classic…

C, it was SO lovely to finally do this! Here’s to a happy, healthy, beautiful next decade:)
