Dear Chantal & Shelley,
After a nice shower I'm sitting on the sofa looking back on a very special day! I had so much fun!! The two of you were really great, thank you very much. It all made this pregnancy even more special and happy. I'm really looking forward to see the result. Enjoy your weekend! Lots of love, Ms M All I can say is WOW.....I never thought I would look this good EVER!!!!!!
Thank you again to you and Shandre for an amazing day, it was so much fun and I felt amazing. Love Ms S There are not enough words in the world to describe your wicked sense of humour and more so your exquisite work. I have never felt so beautiful, sexy and empowered. I fell in love with me again. Your passion for women and your art shines through your photography. It is absolutely breath taking. The way you capture these rare intimate moments that people seldom see is out of this world. Thank you for the most amazing experience. Thank you for making me a Princess for a day.
Ms S Thank you for the most amazing experience - Chantal you are amazing at what you do
Ms A I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to see in me a beautiful woman. It's with tears in my eyes that I say this...I have never felt good enough, or pretty enough due to feelings of rejection all my life.
You made me feel so beautiful and have given such confidence.... And finally I see what other people see. You are an important part of my healing process.... I am forever grateful to both of you. May you continue to always do such beautiful work and healing. Mwah Ms J Thank you so much for one of the best days ever...it was an experience I will cherish :-) You are an amazing artist and lady and I count myself lucky to have met and worked with you. Yesterday was a successful step for me towards self love and I couldn’t have done it without you.
Miss K With a photographers like Chantal and Shelley, things can only be unbelievably beautiful and incredibly AWESOME!
Mrs K Just want to say thank you for everything! The photos are stunning and I cant wait to give them to R tomorrow! He will go absolutely crazy!
Miss C Thank you some much again for Friday afternoon. I enjoyed it so much. I know my husband is going to love his gift!!
Mrs G Mr D's comments about Mrs D's shoot:
These pictures are soooo beautiful! She looks STUNNING! Excellent work! Now I hope my wife believes me when I tell her how beautiful she still is. Thanks for your hand in it. Thanks again Mr D You have done such an amazing job with the album and DVD! The pics came out way better than I could've dreamed of, and you presented it all beautifully! I am so thrilled that I made the decision to do this. In fact, I have decided to rather give my fiancé the gift in person instead of having the best man give it to him on the morning of the wedding, because I don't want to miss his reaction!
Thanks again. I will recommend you to my friends in a heartbeat! Miss A XXX Thank you so much once again for the stunning ‘package’. My husband was quite emotional when he viewed the DVD and repeatedly told me how beautiful I was.
This experience has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. It was the first step in overcoming all the negative perceptions that I have had about myself. Keep on doing what you do! Your work’s a total blessing Mrs H You are a brilliant photographer with the skill to make me look marvellous and feel even better about myself. The final images were brilliant!
Mrs E If the truth be told, I had never come across the term “Boudoir Photography” until a friend invited me along to her shoot for “moral support”. I’m not sure why, because I simply drank her share of the champagne and ate half the cupcakes....
I DID think: WOW – she looks amazing, I wonder if Chantal could do that to me. It would be my husband’s birthday in two months. The annual angst to find a gift for the man who is impossible to please unless he chose it himself (hence – his wife). It would be the first time I have surprised him in years. I chewed my nails out of sheer terror from the minute of booking the shoot to the moment that Chantal and Shandre arrived at my door, heaving camera equipment, makeup and trunks of sexy bits and pieces behind them. And then...magic happened (or maybe champagne did), but I was put almost instantly at ease. Chatting and laughing our way through my makeup, before I knew it, I was balanced in heels and lace and looking at the first of many incredible images on her camera screen, wondering if that’s what my husband sees in me. Chantal has a way of directing your posing so that you feel completely unselfconscious and there’s absolutely no pressure or fear of looking silly if you don’t “get it”. She seems to know exactly how to position your body to make your legs look endless and your skin flawless. Admittedly, at the end of the shoot, I had a whole new respect for photographic models (it’s a lot more hard work than it looks). Chantal was absolutely incredible through the editing process and I could not have imagined a better result. My husband was thrilled with his gift (surprised too – he thought he was getting a table saw that he could return to Builders Warehouse for a credit). I’ve walked in on him a number of times, going through the book and he’s used some photos, the modest ones of course, on his blackberry status to “brag about his sexy wife”. To be perfectly honest, it turned out to be far more of a gift to myself than to him. I felt like I was on a kind of high for days. I had never imagined that I could look that way. And seeing myself look that incredible, made me feel incredible too. Thank you Chantal and co. This is an experience I will definitely be repeating. A gift from me to me next time. Ms M |
Thank you so much for this – you are a miracle worker…..seriously thank you so much you made the day an amazing experience and made me feel beautiful – the pictures reflect the fun of sex hair and an overall special day.
Ms A Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Most amazing experience, loved every second of it!! Chantal you are an absolute gem, we really laughed incredibly hard and you made me feel so confident!!! Monique you did a fantastic job on my makeup and made me look stunning. My man loved the album and I really can't wait till we do the next!! I really recommend anyone looking to do a photoshoot to do it with Femme Fatale as they are amazing and have helped me create fantastic images!!!
Ms A 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! I have always been a shy person and not confident in myself. People have told me that I was pretty, but I never really believed them. I thought I have to be thin to be beautiful, but after the photo shoot I feel a lot different about it. I was a little nervous, but it all changed as soon as Chantal started to take pictures. She was so very excited about how I posed. Every shot was beautiful and I started to relax and loving the attention, and I did feel like a Rock star! Chantal you really did make me feel like a Rock Star. I felt very comfortable and relax every step of the way. After everything … I AM A ROCK STAR!!!! Can’t wait to do it again! Lots of Love, Ms R! Thank you for these amazing photographs. You are so incredibly talented and you made me feel so comfortable. I can't thank you enough. Yesterday was life changing for me!
Lots of Love Ms T xxxxxxx I would like to thank you & Monique for making this experience an incredible one. I loved my hair & make-up, it looked stunning. Then the actual shoot was fantastic.
Even though I was extremely nervous, that very quickly subsided as you made me feel very comfortable, confident and sexy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a liberating and empowering day with you. I know my fiancé is going to love this gift and it would not be possible without your professional and warm approach. You are also extremely talented at what you do! Ms T Most amazing photo shoot this morning. You are wonderful, felt so relaxed.

Thank you I absolutely love my boudoir shoot. You are an amazing person inside & out & you made me feel like a beautiful princess not only for a day but I think this has given me the boost of confidence that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

Ms A Thank YOU for all of your time yesterday and for making it the most incredibly fun day! I feel infinitely more confident today than I have ever felt and that is thanks to you and your team. I had a wonderful time and really appreciate all of the time you took with both of us, it was (as you said yesterday) a magical "journey"! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Miss A Thank you so much for the fun time we had when doing the boudoir shoot. Not only are you guys professional and courteous, you are also easy going and understanding.
The photos are outstanding, thank you for making me look so good! I actually have photos of myself that I like now :). You will come highly recommended to anyone who is looking to do any type of shoot. Thanks again and cheers to a great time! Ms A |
I keep looking at these photos - hardly believing it's me! I felt so pretty - both you and Rozi did such an amazing job and I just know that it will be such a great gift for my fiancé on our wedding next month! Once again thanks for last week, for making me feel and even look gorgeous in photos!
Ms H Thank you so much for the shoot on Friday I had a fantastic time.
Thank you for the laughs and the professionalism at the same time, I am very happy I went through with this and I look forward to seeing my photo’s. Have a super duper day. Lots love. Ms C Second time I Have had the absolute pleasure of Shelley doing a boudoir shoot for me with the amazing Shandre doing my make-up.... The photos are incredible... Making me feel beautiful !!! Thank you so much .... This is a must do for every woman !! Much love.
Ms C Best boudoir photographers I know <3 In love with their work!
Ms L Oh thank you for the awesome experience. Came in a little nervous but seeing that you are actually (not) "normal" I must say helped me to calm down and feel like I'm in my own space. Thanks for the gorgeous make-up Shandre. I loved it and I love it, its a pity i had to wash it off.
The shoot itself was awesome I didn't believe you when you said I'd be sore/tired afterwards from the posing, I actually am, hence even the late mailing. Chantal you are the bomb. Keep the sensual personal lovely work up. Till we do it again 🍷🍸Cheers Ms M I can't thank you and Monique enough for a truly wonderful experience. Not only did you make me feel incredibly comfortable prancing around pretty starkers, but you also made me feel so much more at ease in my own skin, which is an incredible feat!
After spending the day with you, my only wish is that all women, at some stage in their life have at least one opportunity to have this sort of experience, as it is completely eye opening! Ms B x I just want to say thank you so, so, so much for my stunning, stunning album and photo’s. I was so impressed the way it was all so beautifully wrapped and presented (I didn’t change a thing and gave it just as is to my husband). He was so totally amazed and impressed (I still don’t think he can believe I did it and how absolutely beautiful the images all are).
Every time I am feeling down about myself I just have to look at the pics to give me the boost and confidence I need!!! You are an absolute star and I loved every second of my experience, and hope to be back!!! All the best and success to you. Love Mrs C You are such a genuine, loving and kind person and you have an amazing gift... The ability to make people realize just how beautiful they really are! I love you loads!!!
Mrs J I would like to thank you for maaaany things. Firstly for taking time out of your holidays to accommodate this crazy South African Italian! You have no idea how happy I am that Danielle discovered you, and you have no idea how special it was meeting you. You professionalism and your photography know-how are extraordinary! You truly have a natural gift and one of my wishes for you is that you have great success with career. You truly deserve many beautiful things.
I looooooved every single minute, from the time I walked in, to having my make-up, to when you started shooting ( including the part where Jenny brushed out my HORRID hair-do, although it did't look that bad at the end.... what make-up artists and photographers can do!!!!) This photo shoot really changed my life, you made me discover something awesome about MYSELF. I would have never thought that I could look so good! You have helped me start loving myself and I can only be very grateful. Lastly I thank my lucky stars for letting me meet a very special friend. Right from the start it felt as if I always knew you. It was like discovering a long last friend, where I didn't gave to prove myself and I didn't have to explain anything, cause you already knew me. I wish you well my dearest friend and once again I thank you. Keep your head up high as you are truly special. Abbraccio Mrs K My Hubby is absolutely blown away - he says it is waaay more than he expected. I am just so thrilled, so thanks so so much for a stunning job done, fun we had and for everything. You rock!!
All My Love Mrs T I have to say thank you to you! I would recommend this experience to every single lady out there. It is the biggest confidence boost you can ever give yourself. I am not by any means classed as a skinny person, but I feel like a goddess every time I look at those photos. Thank you to you and Monique for a fabulous time!
Miss L The beauty of a woman comes from within, and sometimes we all know how hard it can be to feel “good”….. until you meet Chantal……. The idea of a Boudoir photo-shoot used to conjured up all sorts of images in my mind…….. until you meet Chantal……. I am a woman as well as a wife and mother, and Chantal really reminded me of that. She gave me an afternoon of fun and upliftment, and by some amazing miracle made me look like a cover girl. She made me feel amazing and really encouraged me that there is beauty in us all. When I didn’t have a clue what she talking about she took her own T-shirt off and demonstrated exactly how I needed to stand. It was such great fun. She is a one in million photographer and is a very relaxing person to be with.
Go girls……..Chantal will show you we are all beautiful and we can all be proud of our gift of being a woman……………… Ms C I recently had an opportunity to work with these ladies on a boudoir shoot. It is usually a daunting thought parading around in lingerie around people that you do not know, but they made me feel extremely at ease and the images and knowledge of what works made me think “WOW is that me?!”. My self-confidence was boosted and I absolutely love the results and I know that my soon-to-be husband, whom the shoot was dedicated to, will be blown away to receive this very personal gift on our wedding day.
Thank you ladies for the amazing experience. Ms S |
