What to Wear and Bring to a Vintage Make-Over Hen or Birthday Party

By Jude | Published February 7, 2013

You want to wear clothes that could be passed off as Vintage ( 40′s / 50′s)  - have a look in the Gallery section of our website for inspiration. Most of the images that we will be taking will be head and neck shots so if you don’t have a dress suitable, then an open neck blouse or roll neck jumper, or even a strappy sundress would look good. There are quite a few Vintage Clothes shops around although you may find something that looks good in a local Charity Shop. There are also a number of Vintage Inspired Designers around – both in Manchester and closer to saddleworth. One of our favourites is Limb – the Vanity Project based in Woodend Mill in Mossley. Within Vintage you may also want to theme it further : Land-girls, evening wear, 1930′s but the more narrow you make the theme the more difficult it may be for some to play along.

We have a variety of scarves, furs and necklaces that you may borrow. Please bring any dress gloves, scarves, handbags, furs, hats etc of your own if you think they’ll be suitable. We’ve had a lady turn up with a Vintage Camera in the past, she was a photographer.

Full length images may also be taken so if you have suitable shoes please bring them. Usually high heels fit this bill. There is a changing room in the studio.

Please can you also bring a hairbrush/comb.

During the session you will have make-up applied by Lisa and, depending on how many there are of you, a visiting make-up artist, and photographs taken by Jude.  If you’d prefer to style your own hair before you come please do – ringlets often look great and Lisa will style with flowers, bows, scarves etc.

It takes Lisa approximately 30-40 mins with each lady, we try to keep you entertained with Parlour games, but you’re welcome to bring any games or entertainment of your own, please talk to me at the beginning of the session if this is the case, thanks.

Any questions please either contact Jude ( 07759 599134) or Lisa ( 07771 553535) – we’ll return calls if you leave a voicemail.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Jude

Bump and Baby Photography

By Jude | Published January 30, 2013

We’ve recently been rather busy enjoying making-up and photographing this lady. After her bump shoot, the minute she walked out of the door her labour started, so we were very excited to meet Delilah. With Christmas a a short bout of illness we eventually caught up with them both. This is the sort of photography you can expect from out Bump and Baby Shoots – involving Mum as much as baby in the second. Dad also helped out with the shoot, and lent both his shirt to Mum and posed with Delilah in his Fireman gear. We made good use of both the smaller Baby Studio and the Main Photography Studio for shots. To book a session please contact us here.

No6 Listen to Yourself

Honestly, nobody knows you better than you know yourself, no matter how many people try to tell you differently. So if your body, mind or gut reaction is telling you something, then take notice of it, and don’t worry about what other people may possibly have to say about it.

Boost Your Confidence – Tips for the Day 5

By Jude | Published December 18, 2012
Jude Gidney liked this post

No 5 Turn Negatives into Positives

Ask yourself what you don’t like about yourself – write it down and change it. If it’s that you feel like you’re not successful, turn it around – I’m very good at what I do and I will be successful when I achieve the next step…whatever that may be. Try to give yourself small goals to work towards – ‘I’ll be successful

when I’ve mailed out this order’ rather than when’ I’m managing director’.

Win a Make-Over Photo Shoot – You know you deserve it!

By Jude | Published December 5, 2012

As part of all our celebrations  we’re offering over this week, the chance to win a Make-Over Photo Shoot for you and a friend or for someone whom you have nominated- either contemporary or Vintage, worth over £120 . The winner will be announced on Friday 7th December.

All you need to do is leave a comment below as to why you deserve to win a shoot, as simple as that! 

Here at Lipgloss and Lenses Towers, we’ve had a very busy time recently. This has included not only numerous parties and Make-Over Shoots but also the Opening Day at the Studio and Launch of the new Photo Booth and celebrations of Lipgloss and Lenses’ first birthday (the name Lisa and I go under when working together).

The Make-Over Photo Shoot will involve you coming to the studio in Greenfield for a session of pampering and make up, hair styling and then a photo shoot involving over 3 different sets. You may change clothes to get an altogether different look and style. At the end of the session you will both be able to choose an 8×10″ print of your choice and a facebook gallery of images to share with friends and family.

 

(Make-Over shoot is non transferrable and to be used within 3 months of closing date.)

Lipgloss and Lenses in action

By Jude | Published July 2, 2012

Just a quick pic from the Saddleworth Vintage and Handmade Fair on the Queen’s Jubilee, a few weeks ago. Not the most flattering of either of us but it was the end of the day and we’d both been working very hard. Lisa, in the beautiful Union Jack handmade circle skirt is the Make-Over side of the operation, Jude sporting swing trousers, is the Photographer.
