Madame Boudoir Gorgeousness

It was great to see a recent update to the website of Madame Boudoir who I had a fantastic shoot with late last year.  It's a privilege to see that some of the images produced from that day have been used within the site, including the main home page.

Madame Boudoir who are based between Leeds and Bradford are a photography company I can honestly highly recommend.  Principle photographer Kim Nicholls is a dab hand with the old camera and is such a down to earth, easy to get along with woman.  I couldn't pick a more fitting person to do the job of producing beautiful images working with women.  If you're thinking about having some gorgeous pictures to commemorate a special birthday or celebrate with the girls in style this is a really worthwhile activity.  Treat your boyfriend or just yourself.  The results are amazing and you'll cherish them, I promise.

New Boudoir Photos In...

At the beginning of this month I had a boudoir shoot with Madame Boudoir. The shoot went fantastically well and I felt an instant rapport with photographer Kim Nicholls. After looking through the all images and deciding which were my favourites, today I received the final set. I'm blown away by how amazing they look.

Looking at the pictures you wouldn't think I was feeling quite unwell that day which I hope shows the dedication I have toward my work. Sometimes I may not have health on my side but I sure as heck will fight it!

I have so many favourites it's been difficult to narrow them down but I would have to say I'm drawing more toward the main image I have selected as my blog image (cosy bedroom boudoir) and the bridal image further down the page. Kim has captured the best in me and made a perfect set of images with her artistic eye and technical flare. If you're looking to get some boudoir photos done for your portfolio or as a surprise prezzie for your significant other, Kim is the woman for you.

Beautiful Boudoir

This weekend I had a fantastic shoot with Kim Nicholls, the talent behind Farsely, Leeds based 'Madame Boudoir'; a fresh photography concept in helping women (and men!) love the bodies they're in.

When I came across Kim's relatively new business arm I was excited, honestly really excited. I find that boudoir is a genre that is commonly misunderstood and it frustrates me when I see images which are supposedly boudoir but look more 'glamour'. There's a different art to creating good boudoir images; setting, lighting, clothing and the right 'look' in the model. Boudoir is sexy and provocative at it's darkest but can be soft and feminine. In either instance boudoir is always empowering. Never seedy, tarty or cheap. Which is exactly what excited me about seeing the work of Madame Boudoir. I knew we were on the same level with the same thinking. We can only do amazing things together!

After many emails and discussion over what we wanted to produce, the day finally arrived. We decided to portray a range of boudoir styles including bridal boudoir where I wore a classic brides veil with a beautiful set of lingerie. I opted for an opulent ivory plunge bra worn with an underbust waist cinching corset and pretty lace briefs finished off with a sheer suspender belt and cream lace top stockings. Using a crisp white linen spread bedroom setting we took some gorgeous pictures with me on the bed, then we moved onto a wall lined with a stunning lace effect (and feel!). The images were to be clean and pure which gave me ample opportunity to show off some natural smiles. You can see some behind the scenes footage of this part of the shoot here on my Youtube channel.

Another style we worked was classically amazing lingerie in a modern but sexy style; black lace bra and thong complete with matching suspender belt all trimmed with miniature but perfectly formed pewter perfume bottles - and black seamed stockings. I darkened my lip colour for a more sultry make up look finished with some plumping juicy lip gloss. For this set we played with a backdrop of jet black strung beads then moved onto a deep berry bright velour armchair which was absolutely gorgeous! I felt we created some of the best images in that chair.

The last scene we went for was styled in a very relaxed girly look which was a little different for me to try but one I very much welcomed. The bed was gloriously decadent with beaded and satin cushions and topped with a luxuriously cosy furry throw. I devoured the feeling of all the softness in my blush pink lace bra trimmed with velvet, my cute frilly briefs and some super cute angora long socks!

This evening I made the enormously tough job of choosing my favourite images and I'm now just as excited to receive the finished pictures as much as I was the day I discovered Madame Boudoir.
