I’d recommend a boudoir shoot to anyone & N&P for Nicola Grimshaw-Mitchell

Pheonix, 21 June, 2011 at 10:48 Posted on Planning 0 32

I went for my shoot last Friday, I travelled up to Manchester on the Thursday night, it might seem crazy to go from Hampshire to Manchester for a photo shoot but after I saw Nicola’s website on here there was nowhere else I’d have gone!

All I can say is it was totally, totally worth it, I was really nervous but both Nicola and Michelle who did my makeup were brilliant (if I was local I would have asked Michelle to do the makeup for my wedding day!) I felt completely relaxed walking about in my undies, so much so my last photo’s were completely nude (though totally tasteful).

The whole experience was amazing and so much fun! I’ve just received my photo gallery from Nicola and I thought I’d share one… I’m going to take it down at some point though so please don’t quote it Smiley smile

If anyones thinking about a boudoir shoot I’d say go for it 100%, I’m incredibly shy even in front of my OH sometimes and I loved it!

Once again massive N&P for Nicola (and thank you to whoever it was on here that recommended her – sorry I don’t remember who!) and Michelle!

Nicola Grimshaw-Mitchell – www.myboudoir.co.uk (check out her before and after gallery it’s amazing!)

    Wowsers, that's a great photo! Thanks for posting it.

    I have a boudoir shoot but not for some time - March next year! wishing I had booked it with these guys now but didn't discover them until after I had placed my deposit unfortunately. Glad to hear you had a great time, at the moment i am just praying i can lose some poundage between now and then.

    I think your OH will be thrilled.

    Lovely photos! Glad you had a good time and I'll second your recommendation - I also went to Nicola to have my boudior pictures done and she is just lovely and puts you so at ease . Her pictures are fantastic too, I still don't quite know how mine managed to turn out so well given the raw material she had to work with, lol. Totally worth it!

    Wow!!! Those are amazing photos - seriously good! I've just had a look at the Blog photos too - great Make-Over too!! Although you're gorgeous to start with even with unstraightened hair!!!

    I went to MyBoudoir last year too and was over the moon with every single photo - Nicola is just a miracle worker IMO!!

    Wow. A-MA-ZING!

    I've been hoping someone would post some boudoir photos (not in a weird pervy way, but just because I'm really curious as to how they turn out as I've been thinking about it). These are brilliant!

    Wow ? Beautiful beautiful photos. I posted a thread a few days ago asking for recommendations for a boudoir shoot and she came up on that thread too. I'm seriously considering going to her even though she's a fair way from me too. Just gotta lose a heap of weight issue first.........

    hey allgold78 - dont worry about the weight issue hun, I was a size 16-18 when I went and carrying lots of post-baby weight, Nicola just made the most of my best bits (boobs and face and hair) and minimised the blobby bits (tum and thighs and double chin!) - I looked great even if I do say so myself and I def didnt look a size 16-18!

    Ah well that's reassuring. I'm really self conscious about it ATM. I put on 2 and a half stone last year through stupid meds and I'm trying to get rid of it now. Maybe I'll give it a while then book in with her. I'm an 18-20 now so if I could get to a 16-18 I'd be more comfortable. Boobs face and hair I could do...... lol

    Wow! You look lovely, so so pretty! I wish I could have one of these shoots but think it is out of our price range, plus they'd never look as gorgeous as these, you look so FAB! x

    Can I be cheeky and ask if anyone had the mini package of hers - I'm trying to get an idea of just how mini it is, lol. I don't have a lot of money to spare so I would like to know whether the mini would be worth it??

    Hiya allgold, I had the Classic package but the Mini looks ok to me? Looks like the make-over may not be as much as the other packages but it does say just a make-up and their make-up artist is FAB so it cant be all that bad! I went with my friend, she had a smaller package and she was very happy. You get 2 poses/prints it says - you'll prob have some input as which poses you get too which I didnt have really (as I had lots!) so you can pick your faves. Id say its def worth it as she's so amazing, you wouldnt be disappointed.

    Oh my gosh they are *beautiful* pictures - You look stunning!

    I'm now very tempted now to splash out and go for it - I had looked for boudoir togs down in my area, but nothing even comes close to the quality of those so might be worth the trek!

    Thanks Ladies! I'm really chuffed with them.

    If you have a look on her website Nicola has before and after gallerys - this is what made me drive all the way to Manchester, the galleries are just ordinary women (by that I mean not models) and there after photos are simply amazing!
