This is a natural thing to ask, and today we're going to take a look at the mysterious world of boudoir pricing and what you should expect to spend on a successful (and quality) boudoir session.

Why White Button Shirts Are the Perfect Choice for Any Boudoir Session!

Are you planning a Boudoir Photoshoot but unsure of what to wear?

Did you know the classic white button shirt is one of our favourites for its versatility and timeless appeal? Today we will walk you through the reasons why the simple white shirt can be just the thing for an elegant, sensual photo session.

Let's unbutton the secrets of the button shirt…

Firstly, a big tip if you’re thinking of this look for your session… Don’t wear one of your fitted shirts. Strange as it may seem, this look often looks sexier in an oversized man’s shirt. Wear it super casual, like you’ve just woken up and thrown it on to get out of bed. Roll up the sleeves, fold up the collar, open the buttons (as many or as few as you like) and snuggle up in it. Super casual, that’s the white shirt’s super power.

Why Is Boudoir Photography So Expensive?

There’s no denying that Boudoir Photography is pretty expensive to the average person on the street.

We understand why people say this.

After all, remember when we first saw prices for mobile phones hit £1000, we couldn’t believe that anyone would pay that kind of crazy money. (Our Nokias only cost £50. what more did we want from a phone?)

The big difference between a Boudoir Photoshoot though and a £1000 phone is in it’s inherent VALUE.

You see what something costs and how much it’s actually worth to you are often two very different things.

The cost of your £1000 phone is derived from a variety of things such as the millions of pounds it cost to research and develop the technology, the raw materials (retina screen, computer chip, camera lens etc etc), the marketing (again, many millions of pounds ) and of course the servicing costs, not to mention overheads added by shop rents, staff wages, etc. We see the physical value of our £1000 as justifiable because we’ve been conditioned to believe that this is how much these things cost and they’ve become such an important part of our daily lives that they’ve almost become a necessity these days.

However, when it comes to ‘value’, we see the value of our iPhone depreciating everytime we use it, as it gets a little scratched and as it becomes obsolete and replaced with a newer model with better camera and newer features. …

Investing in Your Confidence: Why You Shouldn't Settle for a Cheap Boudoir Experience

If you’re the kind of person who wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror and loves what you see - you could save a lot of money!

You see, an inexperienced Boudoir Photographer may well be perfectly capable of taking pictures of you that you’re happy with. Todays modern cameras are capable of taking a picture on the ‘auto’ setting quite well and need little experience or skill from the user so if you love your ‘selfies’ on your mobile phone, go ahead and book anyone you like. Save even more money by taking more ‘selfies’.

For those of us though who are not full of self love and need a little help, this is where a more advanced experience would be more worth while.

It’s not about ‘expense’ it’s about ‘value’ and just how valuable would it be to you if, after this experience, you changed the way you see yourself, improved. your self confidence and felt more empowered?

What would that be worth to you?

“Last year I had a photo shoot with Madison Bou. I can’t recommend Dave enough as a photographer. If you are camera-phobic, he has a way of making you forget it’s even there. He has a great team of make up artists and assistants who managed to turn me from looking like something the cat had dragged in to this!” … Clare
