Miss K came into Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio a week or so ago for a photo shoot. She's going through some personal things in her life and decided to go through with this shoot, because damn it to hell if Miss K doesn't still deserve some happiness for herself, right?! Below is a list of makeup products I used to get Miss K's look and I curled her hair using a wand with some teasing. It's all ON POINT!! Products used: Giorgio Armani Power Matte foundation in no5 and Make

Miss A came into Kristen's studio recently for a boudoir photo shoot and she was super sweet from the very beginning! She brought a friend with her and he's got an eye for the creative arts as well. I think it's super cool that they both do creative work. Miss A is a stay-at-home mom on the regular but tries to get those creative juices flowing with different photo shoots. Below are the makeup products I used on Miss A to achieve her fab makeup look if you're curious with how

Barn in the Bend Open House

I love finding new-ish wedding venues and love it even more when they're only like 15 minutes from my house. Barn in the Bend is a venue that has only been open within the last 5 years or so and they're tucked away in Madison, TN on top of a hill. So the ceremony overlooks that open sky, over the trees view and it's breath-taking. The reception is in the attached barn and they just re-did some rooms inside the barn so that there's actually areas for the bridal party, groom's

Miss M came into Kristen's photography studio a week or so ago for her first boudoir photo shoot. She is divorced and seeing a new beau currently, but signed up for the shoot more for herself. And I love that. GIRL POWER!! Below are the makeup products I used on Miss M if you're ever curious. And I curled her hair using a standard curling iron. I knew a wand wouldn't get all the fly-aways taken care of nor would it tame the kinkiness at the roots. Don't you love the "after" c

Miss P scheduled her first boudoir photo shoot with Kristen Fonville and she came in the studio about two weeks ago. It was an anniversary present that she bought for her and her husband and rather than buying him material things, this was an "experience" they could share and remember together. I love that idea, don't you?! She loved more of a retro makeup look with a classic winged eye and red lips, so that's the look I went for! Products used: Giorgio Armani Power Matte fou

Miss C came into Kristen Fonville's studio a few weeks ago for her first boudoir photo shoot and you could tell right from the start that she was excited but also really nervous. I would be too! It's not like I go around every day taking my clothes off in front of people, especially when there's a camera involved. Lol. But once we got to talking, the nerves started to ease and you could tell she was pumped and ready to get it going once hair and makeup were done. I also reall

I met Miss H at Kristen's studio a couple of weeks ago and she was scheduled for her first boudoir photo shoot. Honestly, I was a little unsure of Miss H because she walks in looking like she just woke up. I won't go into details, but you know what I mean. But hell, I'm like that every single morning and don't put much effort into myself when I'm going to a job, so I know the feels. Lol. Once she sits in the makeup chair, she came to life and had all these stories and the thr

Miss C came in to see Kristen Fonville for her first boudoir photo shoot a week or so ago. First thing I noticed about her, aside from her sickeningly perfect teeth/smile was her infectious laugh. You can't help but be a happy person around her. She was easy to talk to, had plenty of stories, and while Kristen and I chit-chat too, Miss C jumped in there with us along the way. It was such a blast! Below are the makeup products I used on Miss C to achieve her smoky eye look if

Editorial Meets Boudoir

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 A came in to Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio a week or so ago for her first photo shoot. She decided that after some of life's challenges (mainly, divorce), that she should continue to love herself through this process and wanted to keep things positive for her as well as her two kids. She's got a bomb career already in place, is a great mom, and also really loves playing in makeup. I knew we'd have some fun. Below are the makeup products I used on Miss A's look. I onl

Miss M came into Kristen Fonville's studio in Ashland City at the end of February for her first boudoir photo shoot. She planned it for her husband and now that I'm able to post this, the secret is out, but he had no idea at the time! I just couldn't keep that kind of news inside. I'd be too excited and would DEF spill the beans. Lol. But aside from that, Miss M wanted to get her groove back after spending the last many years being supermom. Totally understandable, right?! Be

Miss J came in to see Kristen Fonville back in late October for her first boudoir photo shoot. She's got a heart of gold because she works with special needs kids and I truly admire her. It takes a special kind of person to take on a job like that. But when you love kids, no matter the disabilities or not, teaching makes you a superhero. Anywho, Miss J booked the shoot for her significant other who, at the time, knew nothing about it. The cat's outta the bag now, but I loved

Back in late August, Miss E came in to see Kristen Fonville for her first boudoir photo shoot. How fun, right?! I started making notes after each shoot, just little things about the clients, so I'd remember what to write about when it came time to post some images (or none if they didn't sign a release, and no biggie). But I'm prettttty sure that August was not the time that I started this, so I don't have any notes to remember. What I do remember is being SUPER jealous of Mi

We've got another Miss K in the studio seeing Kristen Fonville for some fun boudoir pictures! She came in mid-January and booked the shoot as a surprise for her new boyfriend and is a total secret. Obviously now that I'm posting this, the secret has been told, so we're safe talking about it. Lol. I really love getting to know these women and what's going on their lives. Miss K's son just got married like a week or so before she came in the studio and it was all the way in Lon

Miss K came into Kristen Fonville's Ashland City boudoir studio mid-to-late February for her first photo shoot. She booked it for her husband, so he knows about it, but decided to make this experience about herself. And that's what this experience is definitely about! She was little shy coming out of her shell while we were doing hair and makeup, but she was such a gem getting to know. And if you're curious about what makeup products I used on Miss K, below is that list. I al

Earlier this month, Miss B came in to Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio in Ashland City for her very first photo shoot. You could tell she was a bundle of nerves as soon as she walked through the door. But one thing I love about working with Kristen and her clients is that we all just chit chat and gossip like we've all three been best friends for years. And that definitely helps calm the nerves and almost forget about what you're about to do next. Ha. Miss B booked the photo

I'm usually really good about leaving at least a few notes about the clients that Kristen brings in her studio so that I can remember something when it comes time to write a blog post. Buttt, Miss K's photo shoot was back in early August and I left myself nada. I DO remember her being super sweet and I was super jealous of her red locks. I also loved her "before and after" shots I took of her makeup. We're just going to leave it at that... short and sweet. Below are a list of

Miss A came in to see Kristen for her first boudoir photo shoot and it was planned to fall on her actual birthday. How fun is that?!! She said it would be fun to show her husband, but it was booked all for herself. And I love that! She was super fun to chat with and I know she's just going to fall in love with her images once she sees them. Below are a list of makeup products I used to achieve her glittery beauty look if you're ever wondering how we got there. Products used:

Miss H came in to see Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio in Ashland City early this month for her very first photo shoot. You could tell as soon as she entered the door how excited she was. She planned the photo shoot for her husband as he was away oversees but was coming back very soon. He does know about the shoot but won't get any sneak peeks until the images are completed. I know it must be tough for Miss H to be away from her hubby but knowing that he'll be home soon is g

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was not booked through Declan and Mae but through Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency -- now called RefEYEance Hair and Makeup.** I was the lead artist for Christina and Derek's NYE wedding and we did a trial run about a month and a half before the big day. Unfortunately, both days were rainy days, but that's okay because the photographer has made skills and I'm awe-struck of the images. Just wait until you see them at the bottom. Anywho, below a
