Betsys Boudoir Photography Changes

Hi all

We have made a little change to our photography collections. To make it easier to choose which one you would like we now have a new album available and for those who don't want the album option you can now book your own a la carte session, where you buy your make up and photo session and have the freedom to choose which product you would like to display your images, be it canvas, prints, digital files or frames.

Our albums now come in 3 different size options and of course if theres a size not mentioned, just ask we can get other sizes and page variations if desired.

We are also now moving our after session image veiwings off the internet and into the studio so you can view them at their very best, dont worry if you have to travel a long way we are still giving all cleints the online gallery to show off to their friends and choose their final images if they cannot get back to us.

Happy New Year

Well I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and are getting well into those new years resolutions..

What did 2009 teach you? one of the things for me was that you get what you pay for. Insurance, products and photography.

I have been a bargain hunter for years but running my own business has made me realise its good to support local quality business and that sometimes paying more for a quality product in the long run saves you more than buying several of those cheaper items. I never compromise on the quality of the products I buy in for you, always looking for longevity and that wow factor. And as always if I find something better then I will use it.

Getting back to Betsy's. If you have already been a client, you can join our Betsy Club for free, to find out what it entails email me for a leaflet.

Our valentines offer is now on, a fab little mini pocket album with 10 prints and a 12x8 print for only £225, keep one for yourself and give the other to your loved one for a perfect and unusual valentines gift.

We now coffer canvas prints, we have samples to view at the studio and come in a range of sizes from 12x8 up to 60" depending on your image.

Well that's it for now, I hope the snow doesn't cause you too much disruption.

long day

Have spent today adding the option to pay by credit and debit cards online. I hope this will give my customers more options on how to pay for their shoot and any products.

Also gearing up for 2010, our price change will occur on 5th January 2010 so if you wish to take advantage of our 2009 pricing and even book for next year you can before this date.

We are pretty happy with our current product range we have a new coffee table album which will be with us soon and a few other things in the pipeline but you will have to wait till next year for those, I wont make the keeping you in suspenders joke ... promise!

Lastly our referral scheme will be implemented in the new year, current customers have already had the information but we will be posting it on the blog in January.

Nadias Session

Nadia had her boudoir session in October for her wedding which took place in November. We hope you had a lovely day and your now husband loved his gift. Heres a few from her shoot

And for a finale finish something a bit different.

Jingle Bells

Theres still time to book for christmas delivery. We do have a christmas delivery cut off but can still provide certain packages for you.

Time and time again we hear our clients chose to book their boudoir shoot , not only for something that little bit different and as a confidence booster but also for the man who has everything, what do you get him for his birthday or christmas?

A boudoir session is perfect pamper and fun for you but the end result makes a great gift for him!

Don't forget we still have the 2 free digital files offer available to anyone spending over £220.

Christmas ordering -Betsy's Boudoir

Hi everyone, just to let you know that the last date for ordering prints in time for Christmas is 11th December, any orders after this time cannot be guaranteed. DVD orders can be made later and of course you can collect from us right up to 24th December.

Other news, had some fantastic shoots with brides to be over the last few weeks who are having winter weddings and clients who are going to give their hubbies a lovely christmas morning surprise!

October Betsy's Boudoir update

Morning all,

Hadn't realised I haven't blogged since September! getting ready for christmas bookings has got me feeling festive already, a tad annoying I know.

I thought I would talk about boudoir a little bit this morning, with Gok Wan being back on the telly with How to Look Good Naked its sparked a lot of emails from ladies worrying about being plus size but still wanting a boudoir shoot.

As Gok proved and I prove most weeks size is no barrier , no really it isn't! when his lovely ladies have their photo shoots they sometimes use wraps or strategically placed objects to pose around, thats exactly what I do : enhance your great bits, and any bits you think you want hiding I hide them simple as that, well not quite I also use lighting and place it so it falls to flatter your figure and only give you poses that make you look your best.

I hope that answers your questions girls and as always give me a call for a chat.

Just a quick note about christmas we are now fully booked for October, November bookings need to be made soon if you want your album for christmas. I am also taking bookings for next year already and April is proving very popular with brides to be, if you want that month for your boudoir experience I would advise getting in touch now to express your interest.

Top tips 2: Boudoir wear on a budget

Part of the best bit for most women when they book a boudoir shoot is going to buy the underwear they want to be photographed in. I've been having a look around at whats available at the minute and there are some fantastic lingerie items for those on a budget.

I always think buy to wear as well as just for your shoot if your H2B or partner is going to see you in print form lets face it they are going to want to see it in the flesh as well, enough said! I found a selection of fab items and even better prices , firstly this wonderful thong set of 3 from peacocks - http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Lingerie/Knickers_and_Thongs/ASSORTED_3_PACK_LACE_FRILL_THONGS-40856071.html these would go easily with a basque or corset or even a plain black bra.


And how can you go wrong with a bra and pant set for just £5!

http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Lingerie/Lingerie_Sets/PURPLE_DIAMANTE_PADDED_BRA_AND_THONG_SET_-40734199.html

With a lot of control underwear its always boring black or nude but here's something very different for those who love print


http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Lingerie/Shapewear/LACE_TRIM_ANIMAL_PRINT_BODY_-42655117.html


My other favourite place for a good bargain is of course Primark, several of my clients have bought underwear from them and its so well made, sadly their online store isn't up and running yet, so I can't have a nosey unless I hit the shops.
Now although I am talking about boudoir on a budget, I couldn't pass up mentioning Figleaves after having this email pop into my inbox yesterday showing off the new Dita Von Teese range, super for the vintage shoots http://www.figleaves.com/uk/nsf/qwiser.asp?term=Wonderbra_teese&cm_re=home_women-_-rightpanel1-_-copy_Dita_von_teese Also keep an eye out for the sales, online stores and high street shops are having more impromptu discounts with the credit crunch and unlike outer wear lingerie doesn't really date that quickly. Happy shopping

Nina's Vintage Nude photo shoot

Had another fantastic shoot yesterday, Make up by Sophie Lyall, Nottingham. Please note the following images contain nudity and are only suitable for those aged over 18.
We worked through a mix of vintage, fine art nude and some boudoir to finish.

Gemma's Glamour / Boudoir Photo Shoot

Had a fabulous shoot with Gemma last week ,a bit of a mix of glamour and boudoir with a hint of vintage.

Jens vintage boudoir photo shoot

Well Jen's shoot was fantastic, make up by Kareena, it was a little mix of vintage and 2009.

Important Info -Betsy's Boudoir

Hi all, after much thought we have decided to change the name of Boudoir By Helen, as things evolve it has become apparent the name no longer suits.

Adding some new exciting additions to the business soon, will tell you all about that in a new post, and I will still be your main photographer.

Due to popularity adding more glamour style images for those of you who wish it, and of course giving the images that vintage edge.

The new name is Betsy's Boudoir, I wanted something a little different and so many studios are now Boudoir By *insert word here* a more unique and unusual name was called for.

I hope you agree its quirky and vintage and above all that you love it.

you will still see Boudoir By Helen floating about as it will take a while for things to all be changed, and its not good to change it all at once with SEO etc to think about.

speak soon
