Emma's Boudoir Studio Diary - The Making Of

From the beginning of February 2007, all photography/retouching work stopped and for 6 weeks, Emma spent every day working on getting the studio fit for prim and proper ladies!

Emma wasn't alone in the renovation, she had a number of helpers - her mother and father donated every spare minute, (and some funds!) when they weren't doing their day jobs as did 3 of her closest friends, Andy, Paul and James.

It was a hard, HARD 6 weeks but throughout she learned some valuable DIY skills, patience and how not to leave her mother alone for even one second unsupervised, otherwise, some important wall, object or tool will get demolished, painted or destroyed!

On the 17th March, the studio was complete and opened for it's first shoot!

The below images will hopefully give you a sense of what it started out like, the effort it took and the making of a studio miracle.

The studio is now filled with exciting props, furniture and many more goodies.

I would like to say a big "thank you" to everyone involved in the making of a studio miracle, especially my Mum & Dad, James, Andy and Paul. I would still be staring at metal walls and a grotty floor now if it weren't for you guys... thank you, from the bottom of my heart (the beers are on me)!!!
