the femme fatale girls xxx It's about time you really get to know our awesome team! So, we decided to each do a bespoke glamour shoot, as we just launched this fantastic offering to our already amazing packages (want more details - click here). Meet Shelley One of our beautiful, extremely talented and passionate photographers. What most people don't know, is Femme Fatale Boudoir was actually her idea... and it was Shelley who pulled all of our team members together to create our amazing and successful boudoir studio. Shelley is a bubbly, energetic and really gorgeous lady, who is just fabulous at everything she does. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, she also writes one of SA's best blogs: All things Pretty and if you are not already...it really is worthwhile following her! The shoot Our shoot was loads of fun... Monique did Shelley's fabulous makeup and hair, before Chantal finally got her in front of her camera. We giggled and laughed the whole way through this shoot and as you can see Shelley has the most divine Iron Fist shoes that she loves to bits! They are so gorgeous, we even dedicated part of the shoot just to them. Really get to know Shelley So before you have a peek at Shelley's photos, here's a bit about Shelley so you can get to know her even better: What 3 things make you most happy right now? 1 – My best friend and husband : Garith 2 – My cats or should I say fur babies : Archimedes, KitKat, Socrates, Tiggie & Asterix 3 – Has to be a tie between chocolate and pyjama’s...I just can’t choose! What’s the most beautiful thing about a woman? The most beautiful thing about a woman is her smile followed closely by her eyes…when she smiles her eyes smile & for me that is what true beauty is all about...moments of pure joy & happiness! Do you consider yourself a Femme Fatale? I think every woman (including myself) has a little Femme Fatale in them…I mean, who doesn't love to get all dressed-up and be told how sexy they are. However, most of the time…I am not much of a Femme Fatale. You are more likely to find me hanging out in jeans and takkies with my friends or in my house in pyjama’s (can you tell I love them!) What is your favourite piece of clothing? All my close friends have seen me arrive in these to their houses – it’s my pyjamas of course! What kind of lingerie girl are you – bustier, corset, bra & panties, etc? If it can’t be pyjama’s...it’s so hard to choose but I would have to go with a bustier – its uber sexy and makes you feel like you can take on the world! Here are our favourite pics from Shelley's shoot: Love
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 When preparing for your photo shoot, there are so many things to think about and remember. Yet, often we forget one of the most important things....our hands and nails. It is often said that our hands reveal our true age, so it is as important to care for them as you do the skin on your face. Here are a few hints and tips to keeping your hands looking beautiful and camera ready:
It is also important to consider what colour/style/nail art to use for your shoot. We suggest a more neutral colour, avoid too much bling and nail art as this tends to date your shoot. You want your photos to look timeless and elegant. Bright nail colours tend to compete for attention in photographs, and takes emphasis away from the important things, like your eyes or beautiful smile. Another thing to keep in mind is that a neutral colour will go with all the outfits you choose for your shoot. Love
the femme fatale girls xxx Sithembile is a sensational and courageous woman who recently went through some difficult months, due to illness, divorce and family members passing away. During this time, this brilliant and creative business woman and mom of two boys admits she let herself go a little. So... she decided it was finally time to do something for herself, and she contacted us about doing a glamour shoot. She wanted to do something to make herself smile and more importantly, feel good about herself again. Her belief, being the same as ours, is that every woman should feel good about herself and when she does it radiates from the inside out. Sithembile really wanted to feel like a princess for a day. Her glorious journey started with a glass of champagne, while Monique did her magic and made Sithembile look and feel fabulous with the most beautiful airbrush makeup. Then it was time to start the shoot, it was filled with giggles and laughter, and when she saw how gorgeous she really is, we took a break for some tears. Finally Sithembile saw what others did, a stunning woman who is perfect just the way she is. When we delivered the images she said to us, the sad angry little mouse I became is not present in the photos. Just the happy beautiful me. I realised, by accepting myself I could overcome all the negative I had been through. Sithembile, you are gorgeous, fabulous and a true femme fatale! We loved every minute of your shoot and we know you will continue to grow from strength to strength! Here is a peak at the sensational Sithembile's glamour shoot: Love

the femme fatale girls xxx When we say that we are photographers, many people think, about wedding or family photography, and think WOW thats cool! However, when we explain that we are boudoir photographers, generally there are a few different reactions that we get. Starting with ..."whats that?" to "I so want to do that" or the most common, a shocked and awkward silence. On a daily basis, we as women are bombarded with magazine articles, adverts and TV shows showing us the fashion industry's perception of what a beautiful, desirable and sexy woman should look like. What about all the normal women out there? The daughters, moms, business women, athletes and brides ...don't they deserve to feel sexy and glamorous too? Clearly, women feel they do deserve to feel this way. That is probably why boudoir photography is one of the fastest growing genre's of photography at the moment. Having said that , it is still rather misunderstood, and ladies are a bit wary to do a boudoir shoot at first. But, when they do, they describe it as life changing ...like they can finally accept themselves for who they are. Many see themselves in a whole new way, and finally realise how beautiful they are. We recently read a stunning blog by one of our favourite NYC boudoir photographers, Cate Scaglione and we decided to share her message on shattering 20 misconceptions about boudoir photography.
Now there is no excuse! When you are ready to feel as sexy as you are ... let us know!

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
