Boudoir Makeover & Photoshoot Experience
Having spent more than a decade photographing women, I have developed an understanding of what it takes to create an empowering experience for our ladies.
My passion for Boudoir Photography has come from my own journey with how I view myself as I have gotten older. With each woman we have in the studio the importance of what we do becomes more prevalent. It’s my mission to help Every woman learn to love themselves and feel beautiful just the way they are.
I know firsthand that in life we get caught up looking after other people. Whether that’s being career driven, being a partner or being a mum. We seem to forget to take the time to look after ourselves. To top it off when we do, we often feel guilty about it, which can have an effect on our own self-belief and confidence.
We must seize the day and be proactive in focusing on us and learning to love ourselves again. It’s not just a simple case of doing our hair and makeup, putting our best clothes on, and being told that we look lovely. It must come from within, we need to believe that we are beautiful. We can put things off forever waiting for the perfect time to do something about it. But, as we all know that time never comes, we must be brave and push ourselves out of our comfort zone.
When you open the doors to our studio it’s important to me that you realise that you are in safe hands. We are all unique and no one Boudoir experience is the same. Our full focus is on making you feel welcome and valued. We know you’re excited, we are too! This is the perfect opportunity to connect with that strong, sexy woman that you know you are.
How will it make you feel being able to see yourself come to life with gorgeous art work, for your home?
Allow us to take you on a transformational journey.
We Are All Beautiful And We Deserve To Believe It.

Firstly, using the very latest products – our professional make up artist will work with you to create the perfect look and put the finishing touches to your transformation by dry-styling your hair. This initial pampering typically lasts about 1 hour.
During your photoshoot we make sure every woman feels confident and special during their time with us. We understand that you will be nervous in the lead up to your shoot and that appearing almost naked in front of strangers can be a very daunting prospect, however you will find that after a short while you will wonder what all the worry was about!

We are a Husband and Wife team who shoot Boudoir at the studio. Stan is our professional photographer and has been shooting for 40 years and has won numerous awards for his work. Shelley is our Boudoir stylist, and it’s her job to make sure there are no nerves during your shoot and to help you with all the posing. In 2012 we built a brand new studio specifically for private boudoir shoots. You will even have a private changing area in which you will feel totally secure and relaxed whilst preparing for your exciting experience.
Don’t worry about being nervous, everyone is! It usually takes a little while to get warmed up, but we’ll make you feel as comfortable as possible. Once you’ve seen how amazing you look after your makeover, you’ll be excited to show it off. We will firstly help you relax and then we will guide you through poses which will bring out the best in you. Everyone leaves the studio telling us how much fun they had.
The most important thing is to bring outfits that you are going to feel comfortable wearing . We encourage you to bring several outfits that you love. To give it a personal touch, you can bring one of his shirts and ties or a Football or Rugby shirt would look great. Corsets are a great choice for boudoir as are stockings and heels. Jackets and coats are also useful but everything depends on you and your personality and comfort levels. If you are having a makeover and not a boudoir session, bring what you would wear for a very special night out. Other things you might want to bring include underwear, belts, hats, long boots, strappy shoes, stockings / tights. If you require a bridal set you can bring along your wedding underwear, shoes, veil and tiara if you have them. These are just ideas though – feel free to bring anything with you to accessorise your shoot!
We have a number of sets and a varied range of jewellery accessories and also wedding accessories like veils and wedding underskirts etc.
Although we do not restrict the time allowed for your shot, it should normally last around 2 hours and half including make up. There will be lots of light refreshments during your boudoir experience.
As much as you dare! Reveal as much or as little as you are comfortable with there will be no pressure from us, you set the boundaries of your shoot. However as your confidence grows in front of the camera do not be afraid to suggest poses.
After your session has taken place, we’ll take you through to our design consultation room for the big reveal of your photographs! We then suggest it can be anywhere between 4-6 weeks after your reveal for the receiving of your photographs.
Yes we do, but only if you wish. We have levels of retouching from basic to high for that ‘magazine’ look at no extra cost. Once you have chosen your final photographs they will be expertly retouched to your specifications.
You are more than welcome to bring a friend with you for the shoot, or even your partner if you wish!
Not at all, as long as you are over 18 years old we are happy to arrange a shoot. However we have special teen shoots for those who are under 18. They get the same amount of pampering but with more appropriate posing and outfits.

Your Boudoir Stories
I saw you post looking for models to do new poses you wanted try out .At 52 wasnt sure if I would be suitable .Luckily you invited me along to a shoot My husband of 29 years passed away in 2015 I also have MS and I’m not really a girly girl for make up ,fancy undies or big heels more used to muddy walking boots and waterproofs . But i wanted to do something that’s not really me . Shopping followed inc big shoes even had my nails painted. I went on my own and I loved every minute of it .The lovely lady that did my make up and hair , wow , I loved that so much ! then off i went for the shoot with Shelley and Stan .. you guys are fab and made it so really easy to do , (thanks for letting me hold onto your shoulder while I had my big shoes on Shelley ) lol . When I came back to look at my photos I thought I might like one or two but I was surprised how good they all were! . I picked my photos and collected them a few weeks later .I love them and so do the ladies I have shown them to . I like how they still look like me without having every line airbrushed away which I didn’t want . And thankyou for letting me use my husband’s hat on a couple of poses made it really special for me . I can’t wait to come back in a few months after I’ve had all my tattoos finished .Altho now I know my calves will ache for days after due to big heels . Ouch . I would really recommend all the ladies to do this it really is fun and makes you feel good about yourself. Thankyou Stan&Shelley xx
