Halloween preparations!

Nom nom - will be lashing into the kids collection of these at Halloween! 

It's all go round here at Boudoir Girls HQ preparing for our favourite time of year - Autumn and Halloween of course! It is the one time of year everyone gets to dress up crazy and have some fun - a good deal like our Hen parties really!! There have been some fun Boudoir Sessions going on with Halloween featuring so stay posted for some updates and sneak peaks  in the near future. It's a crazy month so I am apologizing now for my lack of blogging!
The children are demented thinking about their disco so I decided to trawl the internet for a good Halloween set list  - alas, to no avail.  I wanted to put one together that really covered all peoples tastes. Here is a list of songs that will help you get your party started - I think it caters for all genres and different music pallets  - Also to be sure you get more than ten songs with evil in you need to be a bit creative so I picked anything to do with devil/scary/evil/toxic/magic/heart  etc - you get the idea!
feel free to post more in the comments I know there are plenty more out there that could be added to this.

80's Themed Hen - coz 'Girls just wana have fun'!

Last weekend brought back such nostalgia from the 80's it makes me want to have a hen all over again. These fab cork ladies were all kitted out in their 80's attire with hair backcombed/curled and coloured and streaked and all the makeup and accessories down to a tee. They let Posh fizz organise everything for them the weekend and even managed to get up to the Galway races all glam the day before our shoot. As the weather was dull but nice and warm we opted to hit the beach and have some fun after taking some shots at the accommodation. This was also all decked out with 80's style stuff!
The colours looked amazing against the grey skies and the ladies had no problem strutting their stuff when prompted even when their heels were sticking in the sand!

Here are some shots!

The beautiful Bride to be ! 

Confetti Competition winner Photoshoot!

We are delighted to announce our 'Confetti' competition winner was Grainne Kennedy. Here you will see some snippets of her shoot including a 'before makeover' shot which gives a good indication of the different types of looks that can be achieved through makeup. Our amazing Makeup artist on the day was Theresa Danaher who gave our Grainne a soft look for her boudoir photos and a more vampy look for the hollywood glamour and halloween style photos. 

We started the morning with a cup of tea and consultation about which looks we would achieve though we had some idea prior to meeting so I could set up a 'scene' with props etc before she arrived. 

As it is near Halloween we decided to do some fun 'Pin-up style Witch' shots with a tongue- in- cheek feel.

Boudoir Girls are the first to bring this vintage pin-up style of photography to you and we offer a mobile service for groups who wish to pull off this look complete with candy coloured backdrops. Any theme can be achieved which is part of the fun and it is a more flirty alternative for ladies who do not have the confidence to do a lingerie Boudoir Shoot. It is very popular style with our Hen parties at the moment. 

 Despite Grainne never having met us before she was fantastic throughout the whole process even bringing with her some lingerie items and a shirt to complete the boudoir look. She was open to all ideas but 

being a mom herself she wanted to keep it tasteful but fun and that's just what we did. 

Many giggles, poses and outfit changes later we had plenty of amazing photographs. She did  not even have one 'blinking' one which was a feat in itself for someone who has never modeled before!

All in all a great day was had and I know she enjoyed herself which is the whole objective on these shoots - She now also has some beautiful photos to take home to her very happy husband! 

  Thanks to Confetti Magazine,  Theresa Danaher Makeup artist the lovely Grainne and also all who entered the competition. We will definitely run one again in the future!
For now we are taking bookings for that special Christmas gift - The boudoir book! We have 'Budget Books',  Delux versions and of course the cute little 'Brag books' are also available to show off your favourite killer images to your friends. Any of these books can also be done in Pin-up style instead of lingerie.  ;)

Motorcycle theme pin-up session

I got a call from  Ms 'A' recently who was looking to do something original and relevant for her 'biker' husband to be. She did not want the usual lingerie shots for her other half - no, it had to entail leather jackets and helmets to suit both their style and also give him  a giggle out of the whole thing!  Having some experience in this field I was super excited to set up a scene - I did think about dragging in the old chopper from the shed but decided it would be easier to photoshop a bike in instead. The garage pump is real however and so is the ratchet!! Ms 'A's friend who was treating her came along for the shoot and we managed to throw her in for a shot for good measure!
Makeup was done by the brilliant and talented Theresa Danaher.
Have to say I really enjoyed this fun session - I welcome any unusual ideas brides may have for their husbands to be. I am certain we can pull off any theme here!

Here are some snippets of the shoot:  Well done Ms 'A'!!!

Get yer motor runnin!

Don't tell my hubby just yet!
