Welcome call
Let’s start with a no-pressure video call. We’ll chat, you’ll ask questions, I’ll explain how it all works. No obligations, just a chance to see if this feels like the right fit.
Pre-shoot planning session
This is where the magic starts. We’ll talk about the vibe you want, how you want to feel, outfit ideas, location options, and anything else that’ll help us make this shoot your shoot.
Afterwards, I’ll send over your personalised shoot plan — basically your confidence cheat sheet. Exciting stuff.
Meet at the shoot location
We’ll meet at the chosen spot, have a quick catch-up and go over the plan. If you’ve booked hair and makeup, your stylist will be there to work their magic.
Then we’ll shoot. And honestly? It’s going to be way more fun and laid-back than you think. There’ll be laughs, music and snacks.
Viewing & Ordering Session
Once your photos are ready, we’ll meet again to go through your edited gallery together. You’ll pick the images you love, and if you fancy prints or albums, we’ll sort those too.
Your chosen photos will be delivered in whatever way suits you best. Want them printed? Done. Prefer digital? You’ll get high-res files via a private gallery.
Prep Makes Perfect
What makes a boudoir shoot exceptional? It’s not just the lighting or the lingerie, it’s the planning. So we’re going to do a bit of homework before the big day (don’t worry, it’s the fun kind). During your pre-shoot consultation, we’ll chat about:
- What you want out of the experience (empowered goddess? Low-key hottie? Both?)
- The vibe you want your photos to give off
- Where we’ll shoot
- What you’ll wear (yes, we can help)
- What the whole process will feel like on the day
Where It All Goes Down
You’ve got a few great options when it comes to location:
- A hotel or Airbnb in London. London’s packed with gorgeous rooms you can rent during the day—from dark and moody to bright and airy.
- A natural-light lifestyle studio. These are gorgeous and perfect if you want something more stylised and characterful.
- Your place (yep, really). The ultimate “as you are” shoot is often the most personal and relaxed option, and you might be surprised at how photogenic your home is too.
Nailing Your Boudoir Style
Think of this like choosing your shoot’s personality. Cozy and casual? Playful and cheeky? Full-on sexy siren? Each one calls for different outfits, settings, and energy. We’ll talk through each vibe and land on what feels most like you. And yes, we’ll set clear boundaries so everything feels safe and respectful, and the creativity can flourish.
What to Wear
Outfits make a big difference, but don’t overthink it. We’ll help you choose things that make sense for your style and location. A few examples:
- Cozy: Oversized jumper + thigh-high socks = yes.
- Playful: Lacy sets, crop tops, something with personality.
- Sensual/Sexy: Suspenders, bodysuits, heels if you’re feeling it.
Colour matters too. Some tones pop beautifully in natural light, others suit darker, moodier rooms. If you want input, we’ll happily play wardrobe stylist.
