Boudoir shoot sneak peek for Kirsten

Here is a sneak peek for Kirsten following her boudoir shoot at the City Garden in Zug last week - we started off the shoot by photographing in the lobby area of the hotel as Kirsten had brought several dresses with her too.  We then went up to the junior suite and changed Kirsten's look a few times for the rest of the shoot.

Boudoir Article in the New Stork Times

As many of you know, I regularly write for the parenting magazine "The New Stork Times." Last month, I did a feature on Boudoir Photography - you can read more about it below (double click to enlarge). 

Here are some shots from a recent boudoir shoot at the City Garden in Zug. Daniela really wanted to showcase many of the dresses she doesn't always get to wear so it became more of a fashion shoot on location.  Make up by Tala von Daniken Berger.  

 

 

 

Mini makeover and boudoir sessions

I have teamed up with make up artist Tala von Däniken Berger of Perfect Packages to offer a fun mini makeover and boudoir session on Saturday 26 March 2011.  The sessions will take place at the City Garden in Zug and include the following inclusive package:  

A 20 minute makeover, glass of champagne, photography shoot with 2 outfit changes, 2 prints sized at 13 x 18 (or 50 CHF toward other photographic products) and a complimentary gift bag) for just CHF350.  More images can also be purchased after the shoot (and all images will be edited and processed and uploaded on a password-protected gallery after the shoot). Sessions will last for just over an hour. 

Boudoir is the french word for a "lady's bedroom" or "dressing room".  Boudoir photography is creating a set of images, in a studio or in a luxury hotel, of women in evening wear or in lingerie.  

Boudoir is not just images in lingerie however, it is also images of women in gorgeous evening dresses, men's shirts and even football shirts as well as close-ups and detailed shots too.

Bridal boudoir photography is also very popular nowadays with brides-to-be selecting a collection of images for a discreet album made as a present for their fiances - it is certainly a unique gift! Other common themes for women deciding to have a boudoir shoot are for anniversaries, to celebrate Mother's or Valentine's Day or for those in long-distance relationships. 

This is a great way of trying out a boudoir shoot if you have been thinking about booking one but want a shorter session.  Please email me at info@andaleeblilley.ch for more details. 

Here are some images from previous boudoir shoots to whet your appetite ... and a big thank you to all these women for allowing me to showcase some of their images. 

 

 

 

 

 

ISZL Masked Gala Event

I photographed over 100 couples at the ISZL masked gala event this weekend and it was great fun photographing so many wonderful masks!  For those of you had your photo taken at the event at our formal studio and would like to view the images online, I will be sending out the Development Office at the school a link to your online gallery and password this week.  If you aren't linked to the school but would like to view the images online, please contact me directly for the link.  

I will be blogging again this week with information about mini makeover and boudoir sessions at the City Garden hotel in Zug so watch this space!

Seasonal photography offers

It's been a busy few weeks with a schools shoot, some more family shoots and lots of orders being processed.  The schools shoot was a lot of fun and we did all the individual shots of the children in a forest close to the school.  I now know which 11 year old boy has a girlfriend (ssshh..) and the fact that my brother was obsessed with Star Wars when we were younger certainly helped me with the 6 year olds! My favourite from the shoot was the unconventional group shot of the whole school when they were all told to tickle the person sitting next to them - I think the teachers enjoyed that one more than the children... 

It'll be a short post from me this time round due to deadlines so I am going to share a slideshow I produced recently for a family - until March 2011, a slideshow of your shoot is included in the shoot fee but after that date it will be a separate product on it's own or available with the purchase of a chunky canvas.

... and I also wanted to let you know about several seasonal offers I have on at the moment... 

Snow Shoot Bookings... if you book a shoot in the snow with me this season, you will receive a complimentary acrylic desk top frame (15 x 20) which includes two images.  These make lovely gifts for offices and are worth CHF 195.  A  2-hour snowy portrait shoot costs CHF 250. 

Valentine's Couple Shoot ... this is a lovely gift experience for a couple where I join them for a "date" (don't worry, I keep out of the way...) We have a lot of fun on the 2 hour shoot and start off in a cafe, then do some window shopping, stop in the old town taking in some grafitti and go down to the lake. These shoots can take place anywhere which is special to you as a couple and there is no age limit! If you book a Valentine's shoot with me, you will receive a complimentary 60 x 40 aluminium-mounted print (worth CHF 225).  I am hoping to blog a couple's shoot I did recently so watch this space... 

Finally... February is of the course the month of love... and what better way to spoil yourself or your partner than with a boudoir shoot at the City Garden in Zug... these shoots are a pamper once-in-a-lifetime shoot experience.  The shoot involves champagne, your very own make up and hair stylist and a 2 hour shoot (you bring your own dresses and underwear).  At the end you leave with a gift bag and a date for an appointment to view the images at my studio.  Each shoot includes a slideshow of images to keep after the shoot.   These shoots take place on Saturdays at the City Garden and are CHF 900 but I am offering you this very special experience until the end of January for CHF 695.  Another blog post from a shoot to follow here too... 

 

Boudoir Photography shoots at the City Garden Hotel in Zug

At long last, I am pleased to announce the launch of the Andaleeb Lilley Photography boudoir shoot experience in conjunction with the City Garden Hotel in Zug.  The emphasis is not only on the photography but the whole experience - you will be greeted on arrival with a glass of champagne in your very own suite by a dedicated make-up/hair stylist. 

Once you are ready, the modern and contemporary suite at the City Garden will serve as a background to our shoot and I will direct you on posing, deciding together what you will wear from the clothes and underwear you have brought with you. After the shoot which will last around 1.5-2 hours, you will go away with a gift bag and of course a date for your own private viewing at my studio in Baar a few weeks later... see here for more the new boudoir gallery on my website and for more shoot details.

Perfect for a gift for your husband, groom, partner or just to celebrate fabulous you. 

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
