I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing experience I had on my photo shoot. From start to finish the whole day was full of fun and laughter and even before I had even had my make up done, Kym had made me feel at ease. They both made me feel confident enough to do the shots I wanted to and even looking back at the photos from the start of the day to the end, Dave had already taught me so much on how to get the best shots for me and have lots of variety in my poses. He gave plenty of advice and direction which was the main thing I worried about as I’m not a natural selfie taker or poser by any means! I can’t recommend it enough. I really think that everyone should do one in their lifetime and be made to feel special for the day. 😊 Thank you for helping me get my self confidence back

Here's an example of a wild and wacky photoshoot with crazy makeup which from time to time we love to do. Really push the boat out and experiment.

“This was the most amazing thing I have ever done. I felt so comfortable with Dave (even in my pants). The photos were fantastic and for the 1st time in years I felt like a women instead of just mum & wife.

After suffering years from eating disorders and having a new body shape which I couldn’t accept, the photos made me look at myself again and realising that I am beautiful no matter what size.

Thank you for that!!!”

What To Wear For A Boudoir Photoshoot - The Top Ten Essentials

Actually, not so much essentials as suggestions because we always say that even if you come with nothing to wear, we will still make you look amazing with a simple shirt, or some bedsheets, jeans and T’s but is you’re looking for some boudoir inspiration, here are ten items you should always pack in your bag for a Boudoir Photoshoot.

One of the best ways to appreciate all the images from your session is when you look through a beautiful boudoir book , laid out with your favourite images. We carefully storyboard the book with themed open spreads. Every image is designed to compliment the next.

Years from now, Alison will look through her album and relive this special moment.

Confidence is key to getting great Boudoir Pictures!

That’s all very well, but how do you show confidence when you turn up feeling as nervous as can be. After all, it’s not everyday you take your clothes off for the camera.

The answer is ‘Fake it, till you make it’ and we can help with this.

Firstly, remember this.

It takes a lot of courage to book a Boudoir Photoshoot in the first place. Congratulate yourself on this. A Boudoir Photoshoot is like investing in your feeling of self worth and it with reward you tenfold.

A recent conversation with a fifty year old client struck a chord with us. She had just jumped out of a plane and achieved her lifelong ambition of parachute jumping. It was a tremendous boost to her confidence, being able to overcome her fears. Sometimes, having the courage to step well outside our comfort zones can reap huge rewards.

Booking a Boudoir photoshoot is a little like this. (Less dangerous, obviously, but for many, equally scary)

Boudoir Photography is a genre of photography largely based around the ‘bedroom’ with the models wearing some forms of lingerie. We’ve always hated labels so over the past 20 years we have been refining our understanding of the term by changing up the outfits to ‘Anything you feel comfortably sexy in ‘ and we’ve extended our ‘bedroom’ setting to ‘anywhere you feel comfortable being photographed’

“I would recommend this to anyone who needs a boost. The entire experience from hair and make up by the lovely Cheryl who made me look better than I ever thought I could and was such lovely company, staying with me throughout – to feeling beautiful and special. Dave was thoughtful and encouraging during the whole shoot and the pictures were amazing. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to have this experience, it really was a wonderful day.” … Su
