Secret Boudoir photoshoot

Postby August 2011 » Wed Jul 27, 2011 1:35 am

Ok girls have to share this with you all is it is up there with one of the best things I have ever done.
I booked to have a boudoir shoot with secret boudoir in Harrington Street in Dublin. This is for a present for my husband to be.
At first I was nervous and unsure on whether to book but after going through the website, seeing their photos and looking at then on expose I knew i had to book.
So I lied to my fiancée told him I was going for a dress fitting!!!!! and headed on up to Secret Boudoir
The first plus is there is parking right at the door so you not have to carrying your underwear around with you simply park the car right at the door and walk down the steps!!!!
Edel is the photographer and you could not meet a nicer person who put me straight at ease from the off set.
I booked for 2 pm and was greeted by lovely girl Emma who is the make up artist and hair stylist. She is such a lovely girl and is an absolute pro at what she does. She went through what what she was going to do asking me the whole way along what colours I liked what I used myself she even gave me some tips to bring home with me. I went in red faced and red eyed and when she was finished I kinda looked like a celeb (even if i do say so myself) nothing that I could have imagined. she made me feel so relaxed and at ease.
Edel then brought me into the studio where there is just you and Edel and we went through the cloethes I had brought to wear and the shoes i had brought ( I brought way to much) Edel also have two closests full to the brim with props, stockings, corsets, shoes head pieces everything you could imagine. I had loads to pick from but we finally got it down to seven outfits.
Edel left the room for every wardrobe change. For each outfit we did different poses with different back drops and using different probs. Edel is such a professional and made me feel that she wanted the best photos for me and constantly helped me to get the best pose.
I felt such and ease and soon enough by nervousness was gone.

After the shoot I picked the album I wanted and Edel said she would then email me the photos to pick which I wanted retouched and put into my album.

I left the studio beaming from ear to ear and full of confidence and could not wait to see my photos.

The following week Edel emailed through my photos, there was plenty to choose and if I'm honest I wanted to pick them all.
The album i picked was for 5 photos but I emailed Edel and we increased the album size up to 17.

She is now in the process of retouching them for me and I simply can not wait to see the end result.

I can just picture my fiance face now when he gets this gift the night before the wedding he will be grinning from ear to ear as this is totally not what he was expecting.

If any one is thinking of getting their H2B something unique as a wedding present I have to say this is the one girls!!!!!!!

I did this too. Same place. I will second the fact that Edel is amazing. Puts you right at ease.
I also was meant to have 7 pics but I ended up picking more. I have the book and oh my god the photos are beautiful and sexy. The bit of photoshop does wonders for your confidence.
I have already given it to h2b and the eyes popped out of his head. He just couldn't believe I had done it. He looked at the book every 5 mins.
Really is a fantastic idea. And Edel works wonders posing you and helping to pick and arrange outfits
