Boudoir photography isn’t about perfection — it’s about power. It’s a celebration of who you are right now, not who you think you “should” be. It’s for women of every age, shape and size who are ready to stop hiding and start seeing themselves differently. This is your reminder that you are already enough — and your photos will prove it.You can find out more here on my blog post https://www.boudoirwithpersonality.co.uk/post/what-is-boudoir-photography-and-is-it-right-for-me
A regular portrait focuses on what you look like. A confidence or boudoir session focuses on how you feel. It’s styled, guided, and designed to help you reconnect with the woman inside — the one who deserves to be seen. Whether it’s softly sensual, bold and unapologetic, or simply you being you, this shoot is about feeling powerful in your own skin.

You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why I do this work. Every woman has something she feels unsure about, but you’ll be guided through poses and lighting that flatter your shape and make you feel amazing. My focus is to show you what everyone else already sees — your beauty, strength and presence. As part of your preshoot preparation, you will fill out a questionnaire and tell me which bits of your body to hightlight and which to minimise, I can then tailor posing and lighting to do this for you to ensure you love the images you see at your purchasing appointment.
Yes — I edit every image professionally for light, colour and tone, but never to make you look like someone else. My editing style is natural and realistic. I’ll remove temporary things like blemishes but won’t alter your shape. You’ll still look like you, just the most confident version.
Your images are 100% private unless you choose to share them. Many clients decide to keep them just for themselves or a partner. Others love them so much they want to show them off — but that’s entirely your choice. Consent and comfort come first, always.
If, on the other hand, you want to share them and inspire other women to do a boudoir shoot, you may be just the person we are looking for as a Real Body Ambassador - check out the perks of this here.
Most clients book six to eight weeks in advance to secure their preferred date. If you’re planning a gift or want a particular product by a specific date, booking early gives us plenty of time to plan every detail and get products ordered and delivered.
This isn’t about heavy filters or staged glamour. My sessions are about authenticity, emotion, and confidence. I work with real women — not models — guiding you to see yourself through a kinder lens. My goal is for you to walk away not just with beautiful photos, but with a shift in how you feel about yourself. If you want a body confidence boost check out my Women's Body Confidence, Gratitude and Positivity Journal.
That’s completely up to you. Some women frame their favourite portraits as a daily reminder of their strength. Others create albums, gifts, or keep them private as a personal confidence boost. However you use them, they’ll serve as proof of your growth and self-belief.
