Warrior girl photoshoot

Sometimes it'sa treat to 'get down and creative' with a good hair and makeup team. Inspired by some images online and a sprinkling of 'Game of Thrones' I wanted to create a warrior/mad max style girl shoot and use some of our more boho/tribal accessories to different effect.
  Liz owner of 'Sizzors Wizards' did the amazing transformation on the girls hair plus she styled Jessie's outfit for me and manhandled her horse Star  on the shoot which was great! Jessie's hair went from being natural blonde/brown to having crazy extensions platted and weaved in for a real wild but cool effect!
 I styled Stacy who had a beautiful red tone in her hair that tied in with the fur I had brought. Tribal Jewellery was by 'primark' (where would we be without Penneys!) Including the feather earring in her hair.

We also had the pleasure of shooting with a beautiful bird of prey from Dromoland School of Falconry

( 061 368144 )and they also supplied us with the cool crossbow! I have to say it was lovely to do something a bit different from our everyday looks and work with the beautiful animals too!

Melissa Healy did a fab job on the makeup for Jessie and Stacy giving the eyes a real pop with the black and the blues and reds. It's definitely not an everyday look but something that you could wear to a themed night out or Halloween of course so bear this in mind ladies you can book both stunning hair and makeup looks in Salon for your special occasion starting at €40pp .  ( 065) 6849852

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!

Hens hit Ennis in style

Joanne had her hen planned for her by her friend Sandra. Sandra managed this covert operation all the way from England! The girls were all kitted out by the time I got to them in funky wigs and accessories. I will never forget seeing a 'marge simpson' coming my way...brilliant!
After posing the girls on the bridge in Ennis and catwalking around Ennis - they enjoyed a nice afternoon of drinks outside (yes the sun came out!) and another night on the tiles. Yeehaw!

 Marge!!

Check out the girls in the reflection...:)

Working those wigs!

Bottoms up!!

Take that Tyra Banks!

Hens and the Hummer!

Had a blast with these ladies who came all the way from the North for a photo shoot with us in the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway. The weather was blustery and rainy unfortunately but the spirits were high! These gals travelled in style all the way to Galway in a HUMMER! Here I was waiting to get the shots of them inside the Hummer when the driver was unable to swing the car into the gates of the hotel due to the size of it! Some traffic chaos later the ladeez had to hop ship and walk down with luggage in tow to the reception, brollies blowing but in fits of laughter. Managed to grab a shot of the hen Ms 'B' on her way in even though she had NO CLUE as to why I was there snapping her like the papparazi! The penny dropped a short time later when she was led into the room greeted with Bubbly, goodies (the girls brought a menagerie of sweets and chocolates and yummy things!) and her own photo studio with two makeup artists waiting to transfom her! A bit of drinking, makeup and posing ensued and eventually we got the group shots of the gang before they headed out to 'The city' to make their mark. I could not say enough good things about the Ardilaun who attended to our every whim and helped me carry out and in my gear. (Managed the shoot with a creak in my neck!?)  They are well set up for hen parties and could not have been more obliging. Big thanks also to Theresa Danaher and Trish Kenneally on makeup duties and of course the lovely ladies who made the event so much fun. Thanks for booking us Ciara x
