About Beauty & Boudoir Photoshoots
Learn about why people choose to have a beauty and boudoir photoshoot, about different types of photoshoot and what you can expect at your shoot.
Why Have a Beauty and Boudoir Photoshoot
Every person that arranges a Beauty & Boudoir photoshoot has their own reasons for doing
so, but here are some of the most common ones:
To mark a significant life event
Maybe you are about to get married, have your first child, are approaching a milestone birthday, or perhaps you've recently gotten divorced - whatever the life event many people mark these occasions with pictures. If you'd like a special memory for you or a loved one, what better way than to create some great images that celebrate your beauty and spirit.
To build confidence and empowerment
Some people arrange a beauty and boudoir photo shoot to help them build their inner strength and body confidence.
There are few greater boosts to your feeling of personal empowerment than seeing yourself looking radiant and beautiful, and having images that you can return to whenever you need a little lift.
To capture a time of life
Perhaps you feel that you are in the prime of your life and you want a way to capture it forever. Well I can't promise to stop the progress of time, but I can capture this moment in time as a memory you can have forever.
To record your beauty and spirit
As we leave our youth behind, some people can feel that their period of greatest beauty is behind them, but it isn't true. As we go through life our experiences and accumulated knowledge help us to replace the fleeting beauty of youth with an inner beauty that shines out just as strongly and can be captured in pictures.
To celebrate a return to self
Maybe you've been through a difficult time recently, facing unusual stresses or struggling with physical or mental health issues. Now these issues are starting to resolve, why not mark a return to feeling like yourself by having a beauty and boudoir photo shoot.
Some people are left with physical changes to their body as a result of treatment, having some great pictures taken can help you accept and embrace those changes.
To pamper yourself
Perhaps its been too long since you dedicated some time just to yourself, or maybe you've been working hard and have earned a pampering. Why not spoil yourself with a beauty and boudoir photoshoot where you are the centre of attention.
As a gift
Maybe you want to mark your wedding, or a key anniversary or a milestone birthday by gifting some memorable images of you to your partner. Something to look back on and remember the excitement of the time.
Or why not buy a gift voucher for a loved one, so they can experience being the centre of attention at a photoshoot.
As an experience
Some people book a beauty and boudoir shoot just because they can. It might be a long-term, bucket list item or a spare of the moment decision, but either way maybe you just want to add to your list of life experiences.
To feel close to a partner or friend
How about sharing a unique experience with a partner or close friend, to reaffirm your relationship and rejoice in being together. You'll also have some amazing images of the two of you together that you can look back on as the years go by.
As a group celebration
What better way to celebrate your coming marriage than having a photoshoot with a group of friends as part of your hen party activities. Or maybe your sports team has won the championship and you want to celebrate together, or you want to mark your graduation with the people you've shared your studies with. Whatever the reason there is no better way to share a celebration than to enjoy a group photoshoot and have some great images to remember it forever.

So now it's over to you, if any of these reasons strike a chord with you, or if you have reasons of your own it's time to believe in yourself, know that you are worth it and experience your own beauty and boudoir photoshoot.
This could be a once in a life-time experience that captures your beauty and spirit in some stunning images that you will treasure forever. So, empower yourself by seizing this opportunity and booking a shoot today.
"I had a first shoot with Tim today at my home, he's a friendly and chatty guy and made me feel comfortable instantly. Tim is very professional and throughout made sure I felt comfortable with what we were doing.
I would highly recommend Tim - he is full of ideas and a lot of fun to work with. Thanks for a great shoot."

What to Expect at Your Shoot
For many of you, having a professional photoshoot will be a whole new experience, so here's a bit about what you can expect.
Before the shoot
Once you have made an enquiry or booked a shoot, I will contact you to discuss your ideas and thoughts for the shoot and to find out a bit more about what has motivated you to want the photoshoot. We can also discuss any looks, hobbies or personal props you may want to try and incorporate. This all helps me to plan the shoot so that you receive images that best reflect you and your style.
Before the shoot I will also send you a copy of our e-book 'Preparing for Your Photoshoot'. This includes helpful tips about preparing for the shoot, hints about posing and other helpful information.
I will then contact you a couple of days before the shoot to confirm the final arrangements.
On the Day
I will arrive at your home, or the agreed location, promptly at the scheduled time. Following introductions we will chat about the shoot while we walk around to identify the best spots to create backgrounds for the shoot.
We will decide on our first scene and outfit, and while you get ready I will put up studio lights and prepare the camera. The shoot will always start with a few test shots so that I can check the camera settings and to give you the chance to get use to being in front of the lens.
We will start to shoot, agreeing changes of location or outfit and poses as we go. We can chat and/or listen to music while we shoot and I will show you some of the pictures on the camera, so you can get an idea of the images we are creating.
You should be prepared for the fact that there may be short periods of waiting while I re-configure the camera or check images, but over all the day should be relaxed and fun.
After the shoot I will need a short time to pack away the lights and other equipment. We will then have a short chat about what you thought of your day, any scenes/poses you particularly liked or any that you were not so keen on.
After the Shoot
A few days after the shoot I will send you a link so that you can view the images from our session online. This is when you can pick which images you would like to receive as part of your package. I'll also ask you for feedback on the shoot.
Depending on how many images you decide you would like and whether they are digital or printed images you will receive your fully-edited pictures within 2 to 4 weeks.
