Sile Seoige - Vintage glamour shoot !

Prior to christmas this year we got together to do a shoot with Sile Seoige as planned by Fiona Coyne of Heaven Scent. We were working on showcasing some fab makeup and hair looks and of course it wouldn't be like us at a  'Boudoir Girls'  not to break out the dress up box!!
The shoot took place here at the Studio in Headford and we were kindly given the classic car by Costello's of Corofin which added to the look of the Vintage theme.
We started the morning with tea and chats while Fiona worked her magic on the lovely Sile. Lots of girly giggles and much tea was drank when Michelle Forrestal then set to work on Sile's hair.
I have to say Sile was so fun to work with - with all the  preening, pulling, fixing and dressing - she was so cheerful and energetic all day nor was there any hesitation to try out something different from  her usual looks. She has amazing bone structure and brown eyes to work with so we knew even before meeting her she would look jawdropping.
We had all fallen in love with the idea of a Hollywood Starlet meets 'lana del Rey' Vintage glamour looks. We also wanted to oomph it up with a 'Sin city' looking shot in the car for fun! All different themes but equally fun to shoot. So many ideas so little time...

Look one was Vintage makeup looks with the lighter lips and curled hair.

Look two was more 'Lana styled'  with the eye makeup more elaborate and the hair bigger in a  'bouffant' . This was shot through the chandelier on the stairs here at the studio.

Look 3 was more daring..amazing eyes, blood red lips, Chinese dress and wig. Total transformation! We had a custom made set for this one with the chaise long and chandelier.

Look 4 SIN CITY! : This is one of my favourite images of the set ..the mood the makeup the expression it all came together and Sile pulled it off so well.
I had such a great day with all the girls on this one - Someone 'up there' held off the rain for us amidst the dodgy weather conditions which was such a blessing!

Sin city inspired shot...I thought I'd prefer this in BW but something draws me to the colour version even more!

Lisa' s fun Boudoir and Pin-up session

Lisa's fab mom recently purchased a Boudoir Girls voucher as a gift to her daughter. As Lisa was booking in for her new fab tattoo (by Nancy L. Klein of Galway bay Tattoo) we decided to wait until it was done to do the session. Her favourite type shots were leaning toward the retro pin-up and some classy boudoir images. She applied her own makeup for the shoot and hair was done by the talented Laura Murphy . Four of her amazing family and friends (some also former clients you may recognise)  popped down to share in the fun and support her. We had a  great giggle shooting for the afternoon and had plenty of outfit changes to mix up the styles a bit.
We all have our favourites from the images and at least she will have them forever too! Well done girl you were amazing ! Here is a peek at some of the shots from the day.

"That" Birthday shoot!

Introducing the original 'Bree' from Desperate housewives, my friend Annie. No one manages to juggle 4 kids, running a creche, baking, cleaning cooking (the list goes on) like our Annie.
She whisks up culinary delights on her Aga and still manages to look like a million dollars I don't know how she does it but she does! Celebrating her recent Birthday in style with a shoot showcasing her love for her brand new...wait for it  black patent 'Laboutins' (did I spell that right?)
We also incorporated her personality a bit as we all know Annie loves 'Mayo the team' Christmas, retro dresses, pretty shoes and her Aga of course!

Boy were the new shoes broken in well on Saturday night in Greenfields with classic 80's hits courtesy of Ronaldino (aka Ronan Lardner) We are all still recovering....
Great night, great company and great memories.
Here are some shots from the desperate housewives shoot  - perfectly personifying our Annie!
