"INTIMATE" London Boudoir Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Finally after waiting almost 2 years since I shot this boudoir session I have finally decided to let it loose on the world.  

I loved this shoot so much it was my first ever boudoir session and I'm an absolutely passionate about these images - that's why without doubt it's my biggest blog post so far with over 100 images on display below.

I've decided to display the photographs in a way to give them more of an album feel hopefully this will add to the impact for the viewer - all these images were shot on location in an amazing boutique hotel in London.

The amazing decor really added to the impact of the shots and we couldn't resist shooting in every part of the room - we had a great time.  I believe the images are the perfect example to show you how to create beautiful imagery in small places as long as you think outside the box anything is truly possible.  

At first I was a little concerned that the editing of these images wouldn't reflect my current style of post production but you know what I don't wanna change a thing, the shoot was a major turning point for me definitely one of the highlights of my photographic journey so far.

I really hope you love these shots as much as I do - now just sit back and enjoy viewing them.

More Than A Mother 

"When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me. 
He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for? 
He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home. 
A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life. 
A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She'll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she'll stick around.
A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.
A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.
A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on. 
You're more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.
I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you're more than my mother,
you are my friend" - Kari Keshmiry

Last Sunday I photographed my niece and nephew, I wanted the images to ooze their personalities and the close bond they share together.  All the shots were taken using my portable studio it's amazing the results you can achieve with little space.

I even managed to apply some of my trademark toning techniques to some of the shots, I hope you enjoy this selection and feel free to leave a comment if you do....

Have a great weekend!!!!!
