Boudoir photography FAQ

Only you, unless you choose to share them. I will not publish an image without your permission. Many clients keep the set entirely private. If you choose I'd love to show your images here or even get you published in a glossy magazine, your call entirely.

I am based in Lymm, Cheshire. Sessions are typically in a hired studio — not my house. Your home is possible if it is private and has the space, quoted before we book. A hotel is your room, at your cost, quoted once we know which one. Outdoors is Fashion editorial. Women also travel from Warrington, Knutsford, Crewe, Nantwich, Macclesfield, Altrincham and Chester, even Manchester and beyond.

There are two sessions, so there are two bags. Studio boudoir is lingerie you already like, a robe, an oversized shirt. Fashion editorial is a coat, a dress you already own, jeans — clothes on, outdoors. Three or four looks is enough. I will help you choose on the day. There is a full guide here: What to wear.

Come as you want to look, or book your own hair and makeup if you prefer. We can talk it through when you get in touch.

Plan on a few unhurried hours so we are not watching the clock. I will confirm the time when we book, so it fits around you. As a guide I'd suggest a minimum of 2 hours.

Yes. Bridal lingerie, a veil, or something just for you. If it is a surprise for someone else, we can keep the booking discreet.

Yes. Bring the costume and whatever belongs to the act. We can still shoot simpler portraits in the same session if you want both.

You choose the images. I retouch them so you look like yourself on a very good day — not like someone else. If a look does not feel right in the room, we skip it.

Studio boudoir starts at £395. Clothes-on outdoors starts at £345. The collections are on Packages and Fashion editorial. I would rather talk you through what you actually want than hide a surprise later.
