Last week was the annual Photo & Film Expo at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg, this is the biggest photographic event in Africa. It's always well attended by photographers looking for great deals, as well as, those wanting to learn from some of the most talented photographers in the industry.
It was a huge honour for Chantal to be asked to speak on the Vanguard Training Stage again this year. She didn't only represent femme fatale boudoir, but also the awesome and fantastic Photon Lighting and Vanguard Camera Bags & Tripods. Working alongside her was our very talented Makeup by Monique, who did the most incredible makeup & hair styling for our beautiful and versatile model, Roxy. The first day, Thursday 19 November, was dedicated to the use of continuous lighting. Therefore, Chantal decided to demonstrate how easy it is to do a styled Glamour Photography using continuous lights. Her shoot was inspired by one of the most beautiful flowers currently in bloom, the hydrangea or Christmas Rose. Roxy was dressed in a gorgeous pink tutu, and Monique did the most stunning pink makeup, soft up-style and put hydrangeas in Roxy's hair and on her face. It was such a magical shoot, here is a peak at Chantal's on stage shoot with the gorgeous Roxy:
The ladies at femme fatale boudoir would like to thank everyone who attended the talks, and especially a big thank you to our fabulous sponsors: Photon Lighting and Vanguard Camera Bags & Tripods for the opportunity to not only represent them, but also for allowing us to demonstrate how to use their wonderful products on stage at the Photo & Film Expo.
Love

27/10/2015 2 Comments delicious ms dMs D is just such a beautiful and amazing lady, and we just loved her from the minute we met her! Her boudoir journey began when, her hubby and herself, decided they wanted a nude painting of her for their bedroom. They wanted something that was classy, elegant, and didn't show too much of her face... so it would leave people wondering if it was her. They approached an extremely talented local painter, Gerhard van Vuuren, (www.gerhardvanvuurenart.com/nudes), who asked them to supply a photograph, for him to work from. After a few attempts of trying to do the photography themselves, they realized that photographing nudes was not as easy as they thought. That's when they contacted us for a boudoir/nude shoot. Ms D was incredibly nervous when she arrived. However, after enjoying a glass of champagne and having Shandre's make her look gorgeous, with her awesome makeup and hair styling skills. Ms D started to feel a little more at ease. Working with Ms D was amazing, this beautiful strawberry blonde is gorgeous in every way. We started with a few traditional boudoir shots, before we moved on to the nudes. All of which were sexy, classy and elegant. Ms D's Hubby was delighted with the images! And, we were all very excited to see Gerhard's interpretation of the photographs. Ms D and her husband requested that we do not share the images, but were really excited for us to show everyone the stunning painting. Here is the absolutely gorgeous painting Gerhard did from our photo of the Delicious Ms D! Ms D had so many beautiful things to say about her femme fatale journey... the thing that really stuck with us, was her telling us that she started a spiritual journey the day she walked into our studio... one of self discovery and self-love. We can't wait to have her in our studio again for her next step in her journey! Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 22/9/2015 0 Comments foxy miss roxy's boudoir shootFoxy Miss Roxy worked with us previously at the Photo & Film expo when we did our talks on Boudoir photography and constant lighting, but we thought it was about time she joined us for a full shoot in our studio. She was pampered by Shandre who did her fabulous hair and make-up while we chatted and got to know her better. We discovered that Roxy has many things about her that make her fascinating to work with, and while she comes across as soft and beautiful, she has a sultry and sexy side too. It was our aim to capture all aspects of this gorgeous lady, and we had loads of fun doing so! The studio was filled with gorgeous outfits, to-die-for Iron Fist shoes and loads of giggles while we did the shoot. We love working with Roxy, and cant wait for her next shoot! Here is a look at a few of the images we got of this amazing, talented and really sexy young lady ... Foxy Miss Roxy! Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 8/9/2015 0 Comments gorgeous ms gWe were so excited to have the absolutely gorgeous Ms G in our studio...this remarkable lady is one of our closest friends, and has recently become one of South Africa's most inspirational women with regards to her weight loss and fitness.
We first met Ms G after the birth of her son. At that point in her life, she had tried every fad diet on the planet, to attempt to loose the excess weight she had gained during her pregnancy. After the birth of her second child, this time a beautiful little girl, Ms G decided it was time to look after herself. Changing her mindset, is what she describes as being her secret to her highly successful weight loss. She decided it was time to eat clean and train dirty. This wonderful and sexy lady worked extremely hard for a year, and during that time, lost an astounding 38 kg...it just shows hard work and dedication really pays off and give you fantastic results. Ms G visited our boudoir studio, just before the Body Beautiful competition (which she won!) as she wanted to have some beautiful and sensual photos to celebrate herself and her accomplishments. She was pampered and made to feel and look gorgeous by our very talented Monique, who did her stunning hair and makeup. Once Ms G was all dolled up, it was time for her to step in front of the camera, and doesn't she look fabulous! This was an amazing journey to have taken with Ms G, and we are extremely proud of her achievements. Here is a peak at the ultra hot Ms G's boudoir shoot. She is a professional business woman, a fitness inspiration, a mom and most of all, a fabulous lady who is just perfect in every way

This weeks style guide is all about how vintage steampunk can look both fabulous and sexy during your boudoir shoot. We just love how leather and metal works so well with accent flowers, feathers and vintage pieces. If you love doing things differently and adding a very unique touch to your shoot, this style guide is for you!

The femme fatale girls XXX Ms K lives in Italy and has come out twice to have a shoot done with us. This time round, this amazing, beautiful and ultra sexy lady wanted to do something a little different. She wanted to show off her femininity and strength... and what better way than with a sexy Steampunk inspired boudoir shoot. There was loads and loads of planning that went into this shoot, before Ms K arrived... to a very wet and miserable Joburg. The first day of her shoot was washed out due to the venue being flooded, so we had to wait for the Summer rains to subside before setting a new shoot date. When her shoot day finally arrived, the weather was perfect... we couldn't have asked for a better and more beautiful day! Ms K had her gorgeous hair colour touched up by Bella from Hair Mosaic before having her stunning makeup done by Shandre. After arriving at the farm in Walkerville, Ms K sipped on some champagne to calm the nerves, before we ventured out to start her shoot. This brave lady got dressed in the car, while Monique (our freelance assistant photographer for the day) helped set-up the lighting and general set. The minute she stepped in front of the camera, the sexy came out. This fierce and sexy lady totally rocked her Steampunk boudoir shoot. This was a really fun shoot, filled with loads of laughs, fabulous outfits and playing with different props. Ms K, you are sexy and amazing, we love you to bits and we cant wait for you to return to SA for your next shoot with us! We would like to thank Fashion Vixen for helping source some of the outfits Ms K wore, to our sponsors Fotacs for the fabulous Photon lighting we used for the shoot, Monique Carroll for helping us with finding the venue and working with us on the day, and to our awesome Makeup and Hair team, Shandre and Bella ... you girls are fabulous!

the femme fatale girls xxx 2/6/2015 1 Comment gorgeous ms jSometimes you just need to show someone how awesome they really are .... and Ms J is one of our ladies who couldnt see how perfect she was before her shoot. She wanted to give her hubby a gorgeous gift and ended up giving herself the best gift ever. She overcame many personal issues during her 3 hour shoot with us, and it was so awesome to see how the weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 19/5/2015 0 Comments what is implied nude?During a boudoir session, some of our favourite looks are implied nude and demure nude. They are often confused, which is understandable, as they are similar. What is the difference? Demure nude is when you can see that the lady is nude, however everything is hidden and you can't see anything. This is a beautiful way to show off a lady's curves, while protecting her modesty and leaving something to the imagination. Implied nude is slightly different, as it gives the impression that the lady is nude. However, this is often done with a creatively placed sheet, clever posing and beautiful light. Generally, our ladies are still wearing their lingerie when we do this look, it's just tucked away or covered to make it look as if there is nothing underneath. We love both demure and implied nude ... we feel that showing less, is sexier than showing more. It leaves a lot to the imagination and can creates a provocative and sensual photograph ... that you and your significant other will love! Love
the femme fatale girls xxx We are firm believers in natural ways to keep ourselves looking and feeling great! But, there are so many products on the market, it can be extremely difficult to find and choose the right product that will work for you. So, when a friend of ours told us she had started using Nutriwomen - Beauty, Health & Fitness, we were a little sceptical at first. However, her results were astounding! Within a week of taking the vitamin pack, her skin looked amazing, she had loads more energy and her mood swings were almost non-existent. Therefore, we decided, maybe it was worth a try ... especially with winter on its way, dry skin is always a huge issue. We can now say, we are so glad we tried it! After almost a month of taking the vitamins, we are totally hooked! The combination of 7 vitamin pills has really made a big difference to our skin, moods, and even weight loss. Trying to remembering which 7 pills go together is one of the things that was rather off-putting at first, but inside the box is 30 pre-packaged vitamin packs ... which makes it really easy to take with you when rushing out the door. There are also ranges available for teens and for 50+. After reading the and looking at the inclusions in the pack, it would seem they are definitely focusing on a healthy and natural way of rejuvenating women as well as assisting with anti-aging. So, what is in the packs? You will be glad to know that all the capsules are starch and sugar-free and only contain natural vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and other essential nutrients, that your body requires on a daily basis. These are:
If you have tried this range, or do try it, we would love to hear your thoughts. Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 5/5/2015 0 Comments gorgeous ms lWe met the gorgeous Ms L a few months ago, when she came to our studio for her boudoir shoot. She was doing the shoot as a surprise groom's gift for her prince charming. Her nerves were high when she arrived, but they soon disappeared after a few sips of champagne. And, after Monique transformed her into a sexy goddess, that totally put her at ease. Ms L had a few special requests for her shoot, she wanted to incorporate a motorsport feel, as her hubby loves cars. It certainly was different and fun to add a remote control car into a boudoir shoot! Another special touch was adding her nautical wedding theme into a few images, and this added an extra level of fun and flirtiness to the shoot. This amazing lady is smoking hot, her bubbly and fun nature, made this a day to remember for us all. Miss L, you deserve your happily ever after. You are such a beautiful person in every way and we hope you never forget that. Here is a peak at a true femme fatale's boudoir shoot, the gorgeous Ms L Love

the femme fatale girls xxx 14/4/2015 0 Comments the ultra sexy miss kA few months ago, Miss K contacted us to do a boudoir shoot to boost her self confidence. She was not planning on sharing her shoot with anyone, she did it for the best reason, just because she could! After a few chats and emails, it was her day to shine in our studio, and she was a little nervous when she arrived. While Monique pampered her with fabulous makeup, she sipped on champagne and we chatted about the gorgeous outfits she had just bought especially for the shoot. Once we started with the shoot, this sexy vixen came out of her shell. The best way to describe Miss K is ultra sexy ... this young lady oozes sensuality and sex appeal. Beautiful both inside and out, Miss K is truly a very special lady in our eyes. She came into our studio shy and nervous .... she walked out a goddess. Thank you Miss K for allowing us to share your stunning photos ... you are amazing and beautiful, and we are so lucky to have you as a friend. Here is a peak at the ultra sexy Miss K's shoot: Love
