My longtime girl crush Olivia and I have been shooting again;) This time for her exciting new plus size collection with Manners Wear. It you’re not familiar with the brand, it’s a great little range of unapologetic basics that are ethically sourced, totally wearable, and high quality (read: material that is soft and thick, not the thin, mass produced stuff you can see though).
Olivia’s range is available for pre-order starting TODAY, the 1st of July, with pieces available in sizes L to 5XL. For more info, head over to the website or follow on Instagram at: @mannersbycurvycampbell. Each piece and colour has been chosen with care, and named after Olivia’s most important female friends and family members.

Mollie’s boudoir video
When I can steal the time away, I’m working on some ideas for demo boudoir photography video sessions. My latest project was shot with lovely lovely lovely Mollie, and I’m delighted to share it with you today. Brilliant Victoria Reynolds was our makeup artist for the shoot, and I knocked up some messy bed hair for M myself.
We filmed this video as part of a larger stills shoot a few weeks ago. If you’re following me on Instagram (@stormy_rebelandromance) you’ve already seen some of our favourite stills from the day. I’ll be posting the full set of stills here soon, and there’s a bit of behind the scenes footage I’m going to cut together too.
Mollie is wearing a black bodysuit by ASOS in this video. It’s a flattering cut and looks great in person, but in retrospect it reads a bit sheer on camera. It’s still gorgeous, just keep in mind that you might #freethenipple on film if you wear it for your own boudoir photography shoot;) I wish I would have noticed sooner, because we ended up having to cut a few shots to make it social media friendly – the nipple police are everywhere these days.
As a side note, I love ASOS for boudoir wardrobe options. They have a huge selection, and a good variety of sizes with plenty of affordable prices. Also, for UK based girls they do a £10/year offer that gets you free next day shipping and free returns on everything you purchase. SO convenient/dangerous.
I can’t find the exact piece Mollie wore, but here are a few similar options:
ASOS CURVE Billie Lace High Leg Body £20 sizes 18-30
Bluebella Etienne Body £38 sizes 8-18
Undiz Kiz Pineapple Body £20 sizes XS-XL
ASOS PETITE Brooke Mesh & Lace Trim Body £16.00 sizes 0-16
ASOS TALL Brooke Mesh & Lace Trim Body £16.00 £12.00 sizes XS, S, & M left
Anyway, this video means I finally have a curvy / plus size beauty represented in the video category, which is a step in the right direction. I’ll be adding more diversity to this category as we test new ideas, stay tuned.

It feels like ages since we shot this footage….oops! Better late than never right?
I have two videos for you today, both featuring gorgeous Scarlet and Sarah’s beautiful makeup skills. I couldn’t decide which way to go with this footage, so I did two cuts to try out each mood.
1.
2.
Now that it’s been a few months, I think I like the first one better but I’m still not really sure. What do you think? I would love your opinions:)

Today on the blog, a few of my favourite stills created during Scarlet’s boudoir video session.
Honestly, this face?!
We tried to have some fun with expressions on this shoot,
and Scarlet totally nailed it. This was only her 2nd photo shoot (ever), but you’d never know it.
Sarah did such a lovely job on Scarlet’s makeup. Individual lashes take ages but they do look incredible.
I love this bodysuit too – lots of black on black detail.
ahhhh
I just loved this shoot!
I’m still working on Scarlet’s video. We shot two videos actually, because – why not? Also, stills from our proper boudoir shoot are coming soon too. Stay tuned!

On the blog today, a few of my favourite frames from my recent shoot with Sophie:)
We wanted to go for an Old Hollywood feel, and Gemma did a fantastic job creating Sophie’s hair and makeup look to suit.
Oh hello! How gorgeous does Sophie look here?! I generally prefer images with a strong red lip in colour, but here’s a side by side so you can make up your own mind.
Props to Gemma for hand holding a light to help me get this shot:)
Mysterious is as mysterious does…
I wanted to try a slightly desaturated look for this set too, and I quite like how it turned out.
I think this look lends itself to vintage styling. If only I had an old war plane…
Sophie is wearing a simple high street lingerie set here, and nude suede heels, so it’s an easy one to copy if you’re a fan.
Next up, exactly the same set with different lighting.
I’m not actually sure which setup I like better. I like both for different reasons.
We switched to an understated lip and smokey eye for our second look.
A simple updo here, and a nice little pop of light to show off those cheekbones.
One obligatory image on the bed…
…and we finished up with this adorable, casual jumper look (also super easy to pull off for your own shoot).
Thanks for a great shoot girls!
