Let's Start with a Conversation: Initial Consultation


The first step is an initial consultation, a friendly and open discussion where we get to know you and your desires for the shoot. Your comfort, expectations, and satisfaction are our top priorities. We encourage honesty and openness – no question or preference is off-limits!

We delve into style preferences during this conversation. Do you prefer the timeless elegance of black and white, the rich tones of color, the glamour of old Hollywood, or the raw emotion conveyed in artistic nudes? Your vision guides our approach, and sharing reference images can offer insightful direction.

Location is another key factor we discuss. To capture versatile and natural images, we recommend shooting in multiple locations, both indoors and outdoors. We work together to select locations where you feel most comfortable and that complement your chosen aesthetic.

Ready, Set, Prepare!


Preparation is vital for a successful photo session, and it includes selecting wardrobe and props. Choose items that reflect your personality and make you feel confident and attractive. This could range from favourite lingerie and robes to personal items like jewellery or a cherished book.

Just before the shoot, my assistant/partner and I arrange a pre-shoot meeting. We finalise the details and answer any last-minute questions. It’s another opportunity for open dialogue and setting the stage for a productive and enjoyable shoot. Here is our guide for women how to embrace your inner model.

The Big Day(s): Let the Magic Unfold


Our approach to boudoir and art nude photography sessions focuses on creating a relaxing, exciting, and open environment. This might start with ambient music, a comfortable room temperature, or a shared glass of wine, paired with friendly conversation. This creates a relaxed atmosphere and boosts creativity.

We believe in fostering a friendly, open, and exciting relationship with our clients. Your willingness to engage and open up to us plays a significant role in the productivity of the session.

We often recommend a multi-day session lasting 2-3 days, or sometimes even longer, depending on your preferences and the breadth of images desired. This schedule allows you time to relax, get comfortable in front of the camera, and enjoy the process, resulting in a more diverse range of images.

Mastering the Art of Posing and Composition


The essence of a successful boudoir and art nude session lies in the ability to capture your connection as a couple. As we guide you into poses, we also encourage natural interactions. This balance of posed and candid moments helps capture the genuine affection and intimacy between you.

With our expertise in lighting and composition, we highlight your best features and direct you into poses that create beautiful, artistic images. This session is not just about creating stunning photos; it's about celebrating your bodies, your love, and your unique connection.

Post-Production: Polishing the Gems


After the session, we dive into the post-production process. We invite you to be involved in the selection process, choosing your favourite images from the shoot. While we can provide guidance on technical aspects, the ultimate choice lies with you – after all, these images represent your intimate story.

Our editing process is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the photographs while maintaining the authenticity of your moments. The role of editing is not to alter the reality but to accentuate the artistry and emotion captured in each frame. Light corrections, color grading, and subtle touch-ups are part of this process, always keeping the focus on your natural allure and the intimate connection you share.

After the careful editing process, we present the final collection of images to you. These aren’t just digital files; they are intimate narratives of your love and affection, they are art pieces filled with your stories.

At this stage, we discuss your preferred format for receiving these masterpieces. The options range from high-quality digital files, elegant prints, or even a professionally designed album, which makes for a fantastic keepsake. The choice is entirely yours.

We also understand the private nature of these photographs. We assure you that your images remain confidential unless you provide explicit permission for their use. We adhere to stringent privacy policies to ensure your intimate moments remain just that - intimate.
