My Manchester studio is stocked with soft, natural lighting and cozy vibes, so your outfits will pop beautifully in every shot.

Take some time for self-care before your session. This could mean getting a manicure, a fresh haircut, or simply taking a relaxing bath the night before. Feeling good on the inside will shine through in your photos.

What to Expect During Your Boudoir Photoshoot

If you’ve never had a boudoir session before, you might be curious about the process. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect from your session in my Manchester studio:

1. Pre-Session Consultation

Before your shoot, we’ll have a consultation to discuss your vision, preferences, and any questions you may have. This is the perfect time to share your ideas, select wardrobe options, and plan the vibe you want for your photos.

2. Professional Hair and Makeup

Your experience starts with a little pampering! A professional hair and makeup artist will be on-site to help you look and feel your absolute best. Whether you prefer a natural look or something more glamorous, we’ll tailor it to your style.

3. Wardrobe Selection

I encourage you to bring a variety of outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful. This could include lingerie, robes, bodysuits, or even a favorite oversized sweater. My studio also has a client wardrobe with carefully selected pieces to complement different styles and body types.

4. The Photoshoot

Once your hair, makeup, and wardrobe are ready, it’s time for the fun to begin! I’ll guide you through every pose, offering gentle direction to highlight your best features. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and empowered throughout the session. With the natural light and cozy atmosphere in my Manchester studio, you’ll feel right at home.

5. Post-Shoot Image Reveal

After your session, we’ll schedule an image reveal where you’ll get to see the stunning photos we’ve created together. This is often the most exciting part of the process! You’ll be able to choose your favorite images and decide how you’d like to display them—whether it’s in a luxurious album, wall art, or digital keepsakes.

6. Delivery of Your Finished Artwork

Once you’ve selected your favorite images, I’ll carefully prepare your final products. Whether it’s a beautifully printed album or a collection of digital files, your artwork will be a lasting reminder of your beauty and confidence.
