What is Boudoir Photography and Is It Right for Me?

Here’s something you might not know: boudoir photography has been around for nearly 100 years. Long before selfies, digital cameras, or even film developing, women were stepping in front of the lens in their most confident, sensual form—often in lingerie, sometimes with nothing at all.

Even before that, women were posing for paintings, sculptures, and sketches that celebrated the female form. Boudoir is rooted in art and empowerment, and I see it as a modern-day rite of passage—a chance to honour your story, your body, and everything you’ve become.

At my private Eastbourne boudoir studio, I work with women of all ages, shapes, and stages of life. Some are celebrating a milestone. Some are reclaiming their confidence after a big life change. Others simply want to feel amazing and document a moment where they feel truly beautiful.

And here’s the thing—you don’t need a reason to book a boudoir session.You don’t need to lose weight, be in a relationship, or “feel sexy enough.”All you need is the desire to see yourself in a new light.

Since 2019, I’ve worked with so many incredible women who walked into my studio nervous, unsure, and maybe a little out of their comfort zone. But the transformation that happens—from that first outfit change to the moment they see their gallery—is honestly magic. You can see it in their posture, their smiles, their whole energy.

Boudoir is about confidence.It’s about permission to take up space and be unapologetically seen.And it’s about creating something lasting—images you’ll treasure, and a feeling you’ll carry with you long after the session is over.

Here at my East Sussex boudoir studio, privacy, professionalism and comfort are everything. This isn’t about stiff poses or awkward moments. We laugh, we hype each other up, we create space for you to fully express yourself—however that looks for you.

Whether you come in wrapped in lace or a cosy knit jumper, the goal is the same: for you to walk away feeling empowered, beautiful, and proud of yourself for doing something just for you.
