I'm nervous, what do I need to do?
First off bring yourself. Don't worry! We will ensure that you are fully guided as to the different poses and that you are always posed in the most flattering ways. A simple 'gently place your hand here, raise your eyes to me etc'. We will coach you and demonstrate the poses which makes for a really fun experience. You won't need to do anything to prepare for this.
Can you really make me look great?
We delight in making sure that you still look like you in the portraits. Suring the session we will move the props and lights as well as positioning you into flattering poses should you wish to conceal any aspect of your body you're not too comfortable on showing. Rest assured every image that you order is sympathetically retouched, removing any blemishes, scars, cellulite, stretchmarks, etc, all of which goes to creating your perfect portraits.
Am I too old or fat for a boudoir photoshoot?
Not at all! Embrace your femininity and boost your self confidence. It's a great experience to have whatever your size, shape or age. A boudoir shoot would be perfect for you. The average age of our clients range from 50+ years old, however we've also had ladies who have had their portraits taken as young as 21 and as old as 70! Size does not matter, we regularly photograph women of all sizes, even upto a size 26. What matters is that you are happy and relaxed, leaving us with renewed confidence and feel you have achieved everything you wanted to gain from this experience.
Are hair and makeup provided?
We provide professional makeup and basic hair styling with our resident makeup artist as part of the boudoir photoshoot - this experience is all about enhancing your beauty as well as providing you a well-deserved pamper treat. There is always a female presence on hand during the session. Our experienced team will make sure you're in good hands!
What should I wear?
Here's just some suggestions on where to shop for boudoir outfits:
Agent Provocateur, Boux Avenue, Ann Summers, M&S, Debenhams are some well known brands to name afew! We recommend that you bring around 4-6 different outfits to the session including accessories and shoes, so that we can help match your outfits to our sets. Once your booking is confirmed we will send you our welcome guide with everything you need to prepare for your photoshoot.
Do you require a booking deposit for the session?
All bookings are made by appointment only. A non-refundable booking deposit of £50 is required to secure your booking.

Your refund will be made to you at the viewing appointment and can be used towards the cost of images you may wish to purchase. Please contact the studio to ensure availability and for payment.
When can I view my images?
At the end of the session, you will be invited back to the studio for a return visit about a week or two later, so that we can prepare a personalised slideshow of your images. If you haben't already opted for one of our boudoir packages then you will be given a price list at the end of the session as well.
What happens at the viewing?
The viewing itself lasts for an hour, but there is no rish. No problem at all if you wish to have a partner attend the viewing too. You will be able to view your images, make your selection, handle the various products we have and request any editing/colour changes to your final portrait selection.

Cancellations
We will do our best to accommodate any date changes or should you wish to cancel your photoshoot we require 2 weeks notice. Cancellations after the 2 weeks notice or no shows will result in a loss of the deposit as our makeup artist time still has to be paid. We are a busy studio, if you are running late for your session, please do contact us to let us know as this may eat into your session time.
