Photographer: GT photography / Babydoll Boudoir Model: Chelsea Rickman Hair and Makeup: Declan and Mae Yesterday, I drove to Gayla Thompson's photography studio to work with a model of hers for a funky Valentine's themed photo shoot. She wanted something more editorial versus just a smoky-eyed boudoir shoot. It was SO MUCH FUN getting to play with some yellows, pinks, purples, I even glued small flowers to Chelsea's eyebrows for a few of the shots. Anytime I get the chance to

Miss D came in to see Kristen Fonville for her boudoir photo shoot in November. Due to her job, she was only able to come in on a weekend and while that's not normal studio hours for Kristen, she made an exception. Kristen will keep you in mind when booking, so always know that she's open to this if you absolutely HAVE to. But Miss D was so much fun getting to know and chatting with while I was doing hair and makeup. We went a little outside of her normal makeup colors with a

Miss N came into Kristen Fonville's Ashland City photography studio last week for her first boudoir session. She was full of nerves but I think after talking about life and her kiddos, it helped ease those nerves. She was a super fun client to get to know! These products below are what I used on Miss N for her 60s inspired makeup look. I curled her hair with more of a blown-out curl as opposed to wavy curls like I've done in the past. Products used: ColourPop no filter founda

Miss N came in to see Kristen Fonville for her first boudoir photo shoot in mid December. She signed up for the shoot to give the images to her husband as a gift and while he knows about the shoot, the images will be a complete surprise. I just love it! With her current profession, she's learned to be great a public speaking, so the whole time getting ready, she was full of words and laughter. And that definitely made the time pass quickly and before we knew it, it was "go ti

I met Miss T about two weeks ago for her first boudoir photo shoot with Kristen Fonville at her studio in Ashland City. She was a little fire cracker with stories to tell and it was great getting to know her. If you're ever curious about the makeup products I use on my clients, it's always listed beneath this. And you can always ask if you have specific questions with application. Products used: Tarte Shape Tape hydra foundation in Light Sand, NYX pro hd concealer in Glow, RC

The thing I love about Nashville is that there is a plethora of very talented photographers, bloggers, chefs, beauty teams, and more! And I know I work with boudoir photographer, Kristen Fonville, pretty often, but I also love working with others too! I had a recent boudoir session with Babydoll Boudoir photographer, Gayla Thompson and her client Miss T earlier in December. We met at her in-home studio and got to work doing makeup only that day. She already had her face done

One thing I love about working with Kristen Fonville doing makeup and hair for her boudoir clients is that we don't apply a set "look" to every head. I talk with each lady and really hone in on what type of look she wants. We don't have to go "ham" with the smoky eyes or don't have to do a red lip. It's all a matter of what you're comfortable with and what you'll like in the end. Miss K came into Kristen's studio in late November and told me she really loves plums so I decide

Miss K came into The Adore Girls Nashville studio in late November for her first boudoir photo shoot. She got married last winter in the snow. Yes, you heard me right. She showed me a couple of wedding photos while we were getting ready and talk about a dream wedding!?! Anywho, she's a fellow makeup enthusiast and dabbles a little in the makeup profession so we had lots to talk about. I don't normally go ham with my smoky eyes -- because let's be honest, that dark of eye make

Miss C came in to see Kristen Fonville for her very first boudoir session a couple of weeks ago. She was super chill, didn't have a specific look she wanted to recreate (which gives me more creative freedom) and totally rocked a berry lip! She said that's her go-to color and it's so freakin' pretty on her, wouldn't you say?! Products used: Mac prolongwear waterproof foundation in nc25, ColourPop no filter concealer in Light 16, RCMA no color powder to set, Tarte Park Ave Prin

Every now and then Kristen gets clients that give me free will with what they want for their makeup. I'm not talking just like an amped up version of their own makeup -- which is what they want mostly -- but total loss of control and I can just work my magic. Miss A came in knowing she wanted a certain look. She told me "Make me as slutty looking as possible!" And can I just say it made me giddy to go a little dark and dirty with it. Below is a list of what we used in case yo

Miss M came into Kristen Fonville's studio last week for her boudoir photo shoot and she was a ball of energy from the get-go! She was easy to talk to, had plenty of stories to tell as Kristen and I did too, and let me just play in makeup. There wasn't a certain type of "look" she was going for, just as long as she looked hot! I did love that she wanted to rock a red lip. Not everyone has the confidence for it and she DEFINITELY rocked it. Products used: Tarte Shape Tape hydr

Miss A-M came into Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio in early August for her first boudoir photo shoot. One thing I love about Kristen and her clients is that she doesn't shoot "models" or "skinny" girls only. Believe me, there are some photographers out there that do that and it doesn't make the average lady feel that great. I know I could never live up to that. Anywho, I think that's one of the reasons Kristen is so amazing at what she does. She's going to make you feel and

Miss C came in for her first boudoir session with The Adore Girls in their Murfreesboro studio. She came in with a specific hair and makeup look and I was thrilled with her inspiration. SHARON TATE, you guysssss. She's an iconic face in the 60s and I was ecstatic to duplicate that kind of style with her hair and makeup. Products used: Mac prolongwear waterproof foundation in nw20 mixed with ColourPop no filter concealer in Fair08 as the base and concealer, RCMA no color powde

Miss I scheduled a boudoir photo shoot with The Adore Girls and I could tell the morning I met her that she was extremely excited about it. She's been remarried for 4 years now and there's a little age difference being that she's 50 years old and her hunny is 65 years old. She told me they act like teenagers doing all sorts of new activities, traveling, and music festivals together. I just love that there is hope for older women to find love again. I know if I were in her sit

Miss M came in to see The Adore Girls in their Nashville studio about a month ago and she was a hoot to chat with while doing hair and makeup! I know a lot of ladies book these sessions for their significant others, but Miss M was doing this for herself! GRL PWR all the way!! She did come in with makeup on already and rather than wiping off what was already done, I just built on top of it. Below is a list of the makeup products I used that day if you're curious about colors o

Miss T came into see The Adore Girls in their Murfreesboro studio in early October for her second photo shoot. Eeeeee! Miss T got married a year ago and her first shoot was a present to her new husband. And this time around, the photo shoot was just because and wanted to go more sexy. I can definitely bring some sexy with hair and makeup. I totally forgot to take any before and after pictures, but below is a list of what makeup products I used if you're curious. Products used

Miss T came into Kristen Fonville's studio recently for her very first boudoir photo shoot. Honestly, it's a first for most of us. Lol. She planned the shoot for her husband and he's getting the photos for Christmas and knows nothing about the shoot. She told me when getting ready that she just chopped off her hair and is still figuring things out with how to style it. One of my favorite things to do with shorter hair is to give it a wave. It's hard to give it an actual curl

Miss A scheduled her first boudoir photo shoot with Kristen Fonville for early this month and I was her hair and makeup artist. Another hair color that I'm obsessed with is redheads. It doesn't matter the tone of red that you have, I will 98% always apply eye shadow in those same warm tones. That's just how I work and it's absolutely stunning every time. Just trust me. Miss A set up this session as a Christmas present for her hubby and he already knows about it, but he won't

Miss S came into Kristen Fonville's studio recently for her first boudoir photo shoot. To be honest, I was immediately drawn into her long, dark hair. It's something I've never had and even when I tried dying it that dark, I looked a hot mess. It was never a color that look right on me, and I'm sad because I'm obsessed with those that do have it. Besides that, Miss S was super fun to chat with while doing hair and makeup. She didn't tell me at the time, but we started followi

Kristen Fonville had in Miss M for her first boudoir photo shoot a little over a week ago and she was such a blast to get to know! She has kids and found out she isn't a doormat when it comes to discipline. That's my kind of mom. Lololol. But seriously, it's a good thing when it comes to your personal life too. Anyone that doesn't have clear direction and discipline in their life makes me think of Chidi from The Good Life. You know that show where they're sent to "the bad pla
