Home and Away Hen!

I shot a fun hen at  The Clayton Hotel recently - It was all perfectly orgnaized by Johann for her friend Emma. We had the run of a lovely conference room at the hotel so plenty of space for shooting and having fun! We mixed the theme with a bit of Home and away and  Summerbay beach shots. Here are a few snippets of these fab ladies.

Ms R's Hen at the Bentley

Here are some snapshots of a recent shoot in the Bentley  (The Bentley Café Bar - Club - Live Venue ) in Galway.  Mark was the organizer of this hen party with Posh fizz Hens for his bud Rachel and I have to say they were a fun bunch! They posed along to their favourite tunes after an amazing makeover by Theresa Dahaher at Makeup flair , Roisin Derrane  and Makeup  and Susanne Dolan Makeup

The colourful 'Mocktails' which were kindly hand delivered by the Bentley staff were put to good use too in the shoot. 

We had lots of space to play around in this venue - it was great to see the lads getting stuck into the fun with the gang!

 

Vintage Sailor girls in college road!

I recently had a shoot with a lovely bunch of ladies who wanted to try the vintage pin-up style shoot. Emma organized the whole event with accommodation and all at the 'Amber lodge B+B' in college road. Jenny who is managing it was such a great help to me on the day I have to thank her for set up assistance! The chalets on basement level are surrounding a bubbling hot tub on a lovely timber deck. Ideal for sipping champagne and kicking back after a hard days shopping ladies! This was part of our setting for the outdoor shoot.(well priced accommodation for those on a budget and yes it's walking distance to town!)
 Here is a peek at some shots of the fab girls.

Ships ahoy! (note the class hot tub behind them!)

The lovely bride to be!

Emma - chief organizer! 

Mel and the gang!

Mel booked a hen party photo shoot with me recently in Galway at the Imperial Hotel. These girls were well up for the craic and had a selection of devil accessories with them all prepared! We tried out a few
looks and fun scenarios including the popular Boudoir Girls ' Dishy Housewives' theme! Well done girls on surprising the lovely bride to be and on the posing!

Cheeky devils!

Havin a laugh!

mama knows best!

Had great fun with this gang in the pillo  hotel in Galway. All the moms and aunts came too.

As they did not know what to expect I'm sure you can imagine their faces when they saw lots of 

kitchen props and rubber gloves. The moms got to reenact some fun scenes with the rolling pin and their

daughters (we all remember coming home late from the disco as a teenager ahem!)

We also got to use the luggage trolley and other props at our disposal for a great laugh! Well done

Maria for managing to keep it from the hen until I actually arrived!!! ;)

Catriona's Hen hits Athlone

The Radisson Blu in Athlone was the setting for this lovely hen group - as I entered the hotel I noticed there were several hen parties taking place that day so Athlone was in for some session that evening!
Catriona was surprised by her friend Aine for this shoot and had her makeup applied by Theresa Danaher on the day.
In between the showers we managed to capture a group shot of the gang outside on the decking but the hotel had a lovely conference room we were able to use for the photo session. Pink was the chosen colour for the shoot to accentuate the dress colours more.
Well done to all the ladies in question!

Girlfriends.

The beautiful bride to be.

Spot the hen?!

Sarah's Hen!

I had the pleasure of meeting a lovely bunch of girls recently who surprised Sarah with this fun 'mini-cosmo' shoot at the Carlton Hotel. I was greeted with a lovely gang all dolled up in killer 'LBD's' except for Sarah who wore a beautiful pink dress. I supplied the props except for the flowers who were brought by Miss 'M' her sister. With Rhianna blaring we got to work posing and giggling and as you can see the girls turned out fabulous in their shots. Big thanks to The Carlton who are an ideal hen venue and always accommodate us 'Boudoir Girls' on our shoots. xxxxxxx

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

Check out the cute shoes!

The stunning Bride to be!

Ladies night!

Here are two fab women that decided to have a weekend of shopping and beauty for themselves in Galway. The amazing Sandra Gillen and myself arrived at the Ardilaun hotel with our gear and set to work in the room! We had some giggles and chats and dressing up while Sandra worked her magic. I then photographed them both individually and as a two-some.  Here is a peek at the 'after' shots - well done ladies ye were a blast!

Pin- up and Boudoir calendar girls!! Swit-swooo

Here are some sneaky peeks from our Boudoir and pin-up marathon over the Christmas period. Each girl had a different theme per month which included everything from Santa outfits to football jerseys. Stockings to fur coats - you name it we squeezed it all in in one day! Some shots have been cropped to preserve modesty of course as we have to leave a bit to ye're imaginations! You will see a very special one crop up around Halloween as she has agreed to be our 'Miss October' 2011. Love to be able to show how fab they all looked even though this was the tip of the iceberg. Fair play girls ye were great craic and I'm glad to hear there were happy husbands and boyfriends this year!!
