Michelle decided to book her mom a glamour shoot, while she was visiting from Ireland. Because of this, Michelle asked if it would be possible to have a few photo's of them together, as her mom doesn't come out as often as she would like. We obviously thought this was an awesome idea! We love doing mom & daughter shoots...they are always so special! But, what we didn't know at the time was, this was going to be a super special photo shoot...and Michelle didn't know what was going to happen. So, while Shandre was doing Michelle's makeup and hair, and we were doing Maura's shoot. She let us in on the little secret! Michelle's fiancé had convinced her that it would be a great idea to do the shoot that morning, as they were supposedly going to a Black & White charity event that evening. And, he thought it would be really special for both ladies to have had their hair & makeup done for the event...it was kind of like kill 2 birds with 1 stone. However, his was not really the case...Michelle's fiancé had actually planned the perfect secret wedding for the two of them, that evening. And, it was Maura's job to keep Michelle away from all the preparations! As you can imagine, this caused loads of bouncing, giggling and happy smiles in the studio, as Maura was so excited to see Michelle's reaction that evening! Below, is a sneak peek of their special photo shoot, that they will both remember forever! P.S Michelle was blown away by her secret wedding & loved every minute of it! We really loved this shoot with these beautiful ladies, and know that the special bond between Mom and daughter should be cherished! Mothers Day is around the corner ... this could be the perfect gift for your mom!

14/3/2017 0 Comments maura's glamour shootTwo of the most beautiful things, we as women can wear, is confidence and a smile. And, that's why we loved working with Maura so much... she has both in abundance. Last week, we shared Michelle's glamour shoot and guess what, Maura happens to be her mom. Maura actually lives in Ireland, so when she came to South Africa to visit her family. Michelle decided to give her a Femme Fatale Bespoke Glamour Shoot, as a gift. Which, we think is just so special! While Shandre was busy with Maura's makeup and hair styling, she confided in us that she doesn't like to be in front of the camera, as she isn't photogenic. Well, we are pretty sure that you will agree with us, she is drop dead gorgeous on camera! Have a peek at the lovely Maura's glamour shoot: Maura really enjoyed the pampering and being in front of the camera.... isn't it time you did something to make you feel good about yourself? Love the femme fatale girls xxx 7/3/2017 0 Comments michelle's glamour shootMichelle is probably one of the most elegant ladies we have ever met. She is lovely in every way and her laid back nature made her so easy to work with! Michelle joined us for a glamour shoot, as she wanted some beautiful photos of herself for her hubby to be. When she arrived at the studio, she was a bit nervous but really excited about doing a photo shoot, as she had never done one before. Michelle brought such stunning outfits with her, and after going through them, Shandre pampering her with gorgeous makeup and hair styling. It was really wonderful working with Michelle, she is so photogenic and elegant, which made it so easy to create magic with her. Here is a peek at the beautiful Michelle's Glamour shoot: Michelle loved her glamour shoot, isn't it time you did yours? Love the femme fatale girls xxx Deciding and booking to do a boudoir shoot, is both exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time, for any lady. And, this was especially true for the gorgeous Ms C. Even though she had met us before, she was still nervous when she arrived at our studio. It took several sips of champagne, before she calmed down and started to have fun.
Shandre, one of our amazing Makeup and Hairstylist, created a gorgeous soft purple smokey eye for Ms C, that we loved and suited her to a T. At first, we tried to tame Ms C's beautiful curly hair. However, the more we tried, the wilder it became... BUT you have to admit, these wild curls are incredibly sexy and look amazing on camera. Sexy, wild and fabulous, are the words that come to mind when we think of Ms C. We had the best time with her and can't wait for her to visit us, for her next shoot. Here is a peek at the gorgeous Ms C's boudoir shoot: 11/10/2016 1 Comment beautiful ms bWe just can't say this enough: we have some of the most incredibly gorgeous clients! They are beautiful inside and out, and Ms B is no different.
On the day of her shoot, as Ms B was telling us all about her up-coming business trip, Shandre did her stunning makeup. While we continued to chat and get to know Ms B, we discovered that herself and her man, are huge sports fans (I'm sure you will notice from the photos below, just how much). So, she brought a sports shirt, cap and even a soccer ball to incorporate into her shoot. We just love personal props and had such fun with them! We are sure you will agree, Ms B is just the right mix of sexiness, sportiness and femininity! And, she had an incredible day at our studio, where she not only had fun but also left looking and feeling good about herself...but let's be honest, we would too, if we looked as incredible as she does! Here is a peek at the sporty but beautiful and sexy Ms B's boudoir shoot: 19/7/2016 0 Comments beautiful liv's boudoir shootAs boudoir photographers, we really love having our ladies returning for another shoot ... it gives us a chance to try something new or add something we didn't do at the previous shoot. So when the beautiful Liv told us she was coming back to South Africa and wanted another shoot we were really excited! While she had her hair and makeup styling done by Shandre, we discussed what she had in mind for this shoot. Previously we had focused on a more demure, pretty look and this time she wanted more sensual, but we had to use her new red lingerie set. When we saw it, we had to agree, the red really looked amazing against Liv's chocolaty smooth skin. We love how the outfit added the va va voom to the shoot, while her soft and elegant mannerisms made the images very sensual, this is certainly one of those shoots we really enjoyed. This gorgeous young lady is definitely one we would love to work with again, and we hope that you will visit us again soon Liv. Here is a peak at the beautiful Liv's boudoir shoot Warning, looking and feeling sexy can be addictive! Its never too late to fall in love with yourself, so are you ready to take the leap and do your shoot?

Love the femme fatale girls xxx 9/2/2016 0 Comments radiant ms rOften when our ladies walk into our studio, we are astounded by their beauty, and also by their lack of confidence and self esteem. Ms R was one of these ladies ... she is a blonde bombshell, and drop dead gorgeous. We couldn't believe that she didn't see how fabulous she was. While Ms R sipped on some champagne, we unpacked her outfits, and wow they were beautiful. We loved the detail of every piece, and especially the Marilyn Monroe inspired purple swimsuit which looked amazing on camera! Ms R's nerves slowly disappeared as Shandre did her gorgeous hair and makeup, and then it was time to start the shoot. At first Ms R was worried about how to look sexy on camera, but that changed after we showed her the first photos. Suddenly everything changed, it was an incredibly special thing to watch as her self confidence grew with every photo we took ... we just love the sultry attitude she started giving us. After the shoot Ms R sent us the most beautiful message about the experience, here is what she had to say: "I would like to thank you, Chantal and Makeup by Shandre for the wonderful experience! Thank you so very much for doing my makeup, Shandrè. It was absolutely stunning! Have a peak at this amazing, beautiful and oh-so-sexy femme fatale .... The radiant Ms R Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 26/1/2016 2 Comments beautiful ms dThe beautiful Ms D recently visited us for her second femme fatale boudoir experience, and she is just amazing in front of the camera! This sexy and sassy mom of three is an inspiration to us and all other women. As she is not only totally comfortable and confident in her own skin but also embraces her stunning curves. This time around Ms D wasn't at all nervous, instead excitement filled our studio as we went through the gorgeous outfits she had brought along with her. The items worth a special mention, as we are heel addicts, are her to-die-for Iron Fist shoe collection. Before we started the shoot and while Ms D sipped on some chilled bubbly, Shandre did her magic, which resulted in beautiful makeup and hair styling. Ms D is really special to us, if you have seen her previous shoot, you may remember that she requested that we did not photoshop, or edit her images, in any way. She knows she is is gorgeous and wants to prove to her daughter that photoshop is not necessary to make you look beautiful and sexy. This time was no different, and we do have to agree with her .... she is beautiful just the way she is! Here is a peak at a true femme fatale's boudoir shoot ... Beautiful Ms D: Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 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 Beautiful Liv is one of the ladies who we love to work with...over and over again. As she is not only drop dead gorgeous, but also one of the sweetest ladies we know, not to mention extremely intelligent as well! Liv is currently living in Vienna, as she is completing her studies. But, when she mentioned she was coming back to South Africa, for a holiday. We jumped at the opportunity to work with her again. With it being Spring time, and we obviously wanted to celebrate it! We decided to do a Pretty in Pink inspired shoot. This required us to get our hands a little dirty for a change, as we made Liv's stunning flower crown, as well as the tutus she is wearing...if we are to be honest...we had the best time doing so! Shandre made sure that Liv's hair and make up looked gorgeous, with a pretty and soft smokey eye and pink lip. After Shandre worked her magic, we were ready to start the shoot. Liv's skin tone beautifully complemented the different shades of pink...it was the perfect combo! To Liv, it's always awesome working with you...you are so beautiful in every way! We wish you the best of luck with your studies and we look forward to our next shoot together! Here is a peak at a few of our images from Liv's pretty in pink shoot: 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 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! Love
the femme fatale girls xxx 22/7/2015 0 Comments luscious lee-ann - glamour shootLee-Ann has a very busy life, as she is not only a mum to three beautiful and boisterous daughters but she also home schools them. So, as you can imagine, she was in desperate need of some TLC and 'me' time. And...what better...than a glamour shoot, to make you feel gorgeous and amazing! To start off her spoiling session, Lee-Ann sipped on some champagne, while Shandre did her stunning hair and makeup. Then it was time for Lee-Ann to be photographed and let her inner vixen out. At first this sexy blonde-bombshell was a little shy and nervous, but after a few minutes she relaxed in front of the camera and had a lot of fun. This was an awesome shoot, watching this gorgeous lady come out of her shell was inspiring. Here is a peak at Luscious Lee-Ann's glamour shoot. She is a wife, mom, woman and totally fabulous in every way! Love
The femme fatale girls xxx 24/3/2015 0 Comments divine mrs dMrs D is a divine and amazing lady...she came into our studio a few months after the birth of her third child. She wanted to give her hubby a gift to remember, and we really think she did! She brought along a friend for moral support and soon the studio was filled with laughter and champagne, while Shandre did her fabulous Make-up. As soon as Mrs D was all ready to start her shoot...her sultry and sexy attitude came out, and she worked extremely well with us to create these amazing images. There is something very special about Mrs D...and it shines through in everything she does...she is 100% comfortable in her own skin. When asked what her secret to loving herself is, she said it's all about her amazing husband. He is incredibly supportive of everything she does, and he always shows her that he loves her just the way she is. Once the shoot was done, Mrs D had a very special request...which totally threw us a curve ball! She wanted no retouching or enhancement done to herself in the photos! So here we are sharing images that are not retouched (this is not the norm and not something we would normally do but this was a very special circumstance). Mrs D shared her story with us, which totally melted our hearts and we agreed to this special request. In a nut shell, she wanted to prove to her teenage daughter that you do not need to be Photoshopped to be beautiful! This fabulous lady came into our studio, touched our hearts and inspired us! She showed us, which we have always believed, every woman is beautiful! She changed the way we saw ourselves and made us realise, we are perfect just the way we are! Thank you Mrs D for coming into our lives, for being so inspirational, and for becoming a friend that is incredibly supportive and non-judgmental in every way. Here is a peak at the Divine Mrs D's boudoir shoot: Love
