Yes - it's a male photographer!

Male photographer? What the…?
Well, you may call him a man – I call him my husband.

I understand your fears – here’s what a boudoir portrait session sounds like when you’ve never done it:
“Standing in a room in your lingerie, being looked at by a man with a camera”
Sounds enticing, no? Here’s the number – 01993 862896, call and book this amazing experience now 😉

Here’s another way of looking at it:
“Having beautiful portraits created by a photographer who really understands how to pose and light me to perfection”.

There’s very little ‘standing being looked at’ involved in a portrait session. It’s much more involved than you may think, and on entering the studio you’re not being assessed – you’re immediately being posed to create flattering shapes and body lines. You’re being lit to highlight your best features (yes, yes, you think you haven’t got any, I know), and really, you and Robin (your photographer) are both working together to create a set of images you will adore.

You are also welcome to have someone with you – if you feel you’ll be more comfortable with a friend or partner coming along – bring them. Your stylist will also be on hand throughout much of your session for hair and make up adjustments as needed.

Say you decide to have some implied topless images taken. Are you going to be wandering about semi naked, getting gawped at? No. Robin will tell you how you need to pose, and then turn around, or leave the room until you are comfortable and in position. And then do the same, after the shot has been taken.
You’ll also be provided with a robe to wear in between shots, and going to and from the changing room.
(A small note on the robes – as you first enter the studio you will most likely cling on to it for dear life. Maybe you can forget the whole lingerie thing, and just be photographed in this shapeless gown? Yes, actually that would be much better, you’re thinking. 30 minutes later you’ve forgotten the robe, now discarded on a chaise longue, and feel perfectly comfortable wandering around in a bra and knicker set. True story).

Pretty much everything you worry about before a boudoir portrait session is just not a problem:
– I won’t look that great in my photos
– I don’t know how to pose
– I can’t undress in front of a man
– I can’t undress in front of anyone, now I think of it

It’s all nonsense, and the great news is that actually, you’re going to feel liberated, empowered and generally like a million dollars just from the session, before you even see your images.

Yes – it’s a male photographer!
