A Boudoir Photography Experience With BUB
“Having a boudoir photography session with BUB is a truly healing, and empowering experience, not to mention a great confidence boost.”
There are so many reasons why women consider having a boudoir shoot, and many of those women have never had a shoot like it before, and so feel nervous and apprehensive about it. Part of my job is put you at ease, and assure you that it will be one of the best things you ever experience.
The word ‘boudoir’ can mean different things to different people; my boudoir sessions are intimate, sensual and creative portrait sessions that celebrate who you are, looking and feeling your absolute best. Having a boudoir session with me is a hugely transformative experience that will do amazing things for your confidence and self-esteem. And that is why I love shooting boudoir so much.
But hearing it from the boudoir photographer is not quite the same as reading heartfelt, and honest words from the wonderful woman so positively transformed by their boudoir photo experience with Beautifully Undressed Boudoir:
I decided to do a a boudoir shoot with Jess on the morning of my wedding because I felt that there was something significant in recording the person that I am underneath all the bride stuff, the lace and tulle and flowers - I wanted to have a visual record of myself and how I felt before the big moment, separate from The Dress and the wedding party and all the other excitement.
Still, I was quite nervous about being the sole focus of the camera lens - but Jess brought a sense of warm professionalism that put me at my ease and made me able to appreciate the beautiful images she was creating, as well as the indulgent experience of being the centre of attention.
By being friendly, relaxed and calm, Jess made me feel empowered and gorgeous - both of which are excellent feelings to have on one’s wedding day!
Looking back, I realise that the experience has continued to mean something to me beyond the enjoyment from the day itself.
The photographs are stunning. Jess captured the milky, cool light of the spring morning, and somehow brought a sense of glamour that was not frivolous or flippant, but adult, intelligent, and beautiful.
Jess gave excellent direction - clear and simple and calm - but I felt that I was always in control; not just the subject in the eye of the camera but a collaborator, a co-creator of the images.
In the photographs I am myself - yes, I’m all dressed up in fancy pants, but I’m still me. The images reflect my personality and feelings as well as Jess’ talent and sense of style.
While the photos are a gift to my partner, as a record of the very intimate and personal bond we have, and the day on which we made our promises, they are also a gift to me. A reminder that I’m empowered to be who I want to be, and to look the way I like, from the most important day of my life to every ordinary Tuesday afternoon.

After tragically loosing my mother and suffering from severe anxiety growing up, my confidence was always low. Issues that every woman has with her looks were intensified for me.
One day a friend shared with me that she had done a beautiful set of Boudoir photos as a gift to her new husband. I saw the images and they were so beautiful, vulnerable and raw. It was such a powerful but personal gift. So I decided, after much deliberation to go ahead with a Boudoir shoot of my own as a gift for my husbands birthday.
I was petrified and thought about cancelling many times. But I told myself this was going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am pushing 40! So after speaking with Jess on email and the phone I decided to go ahead with it. I could tell Jess understood what pictures I wanted to create, not just for my husband but for myself. Jess created a pin board and we exchanged ideas and images so when it came to the day of the shoot I was confident she understood what I wanted to achieve.
The shoot was amazing! Getting my make up done and a glass of prosecco took away any last minute nerves that were still present! I felt comfortable and confident throughout, mainly because of the fabulous direction Jess gives you and the calming aura that Jess projects.At the end, I felt so happy and proud of myself and I wanted to do it again! And what started off as a gift for my husband, turned out to be a gift for myself. Something I will forever treasure and look back on with confidence and pride.

I found BUB and fell head over heels with Jess’ photography style. I continued looking and researching, but Jess’ pictures where never far from my mind.
I was hooked, no one else’s pictures even compared - I had to contact Jess. She was so supportive and informative, I couldn’t have wished for better support.
My shoot day came, and having never done anything like it before, I was nervous, I didn’t need to be, Jess and Chloe (HMUA) were so welcoming and friendly.
I was welcomed into a beautiful studio and Chloe began to work her magic on my hair and makeup, I was amazed at her work, my makeup was flawless my hair was fabulous, to top it off, it was amazing to meet such a lovely lady, conversation always flowing.
My shoot began, and Jess made me feel so at ease, after a few minutes in I’d almost forgotten where I was, Jess kept me laughing and talking while directing me into poses and getting creative with me, it was so much fun the day flew by, it felt so easy.
My pictures arrived, and I’ll have to admit, I cried, I was so overwhelmed, they were stunning, they were so natural, they were everything I wanted and MORE. Thank you Jess for everything, what you did for me means the world.
