There are lots of things that I used to be that I am no longer. And there are lots of things that I’d never thought I’d be that I unexpectedly am ~ Helena Bonham Carter 

Modern Bridal Lingerie

I am a photographer based in Sheffield who predominately shoots boudoir. And my sessions are for women who believe in celebrating who they are, and who wish to record this time in their lives for a variety of reasons; either to celebrate a milestone, or to present as a gift to their partner, celebrate pregnancy, a birthday, or just because.

My style is very ethereal and my photography tells a story of intimacy and longing, without being overly revealing. With being based in the UK it has proven a challenge for my clients to find the type of lingerie that fits around my style of boudoir; modern and timeless, and many have resorted to purchasing their lingerie from the US and Australia.

Early last year I designed a playsuit based on the requests of my wonderful clients, and teamed up with a local Sheffield talented bridal gown designer and maker (KMR) who I chose to collaborate with.

This May we launched the completed playsuit ‘Sweet Pea’ (a British floral name for a British floral design), and we are so pleased to announce that it is now available to buy direct from both the BUB website and KMR studio. It will be made to order for the ultimate comfort and fit, and you can try on our samples before hand.

We wanted to create something feminine, delicate and beautiful. Something that would be the perfect accessory for a BUB boudoir shoot. Handmade with love, to help make you feel special and look absolutely breath-taking.

Designed and handmade in Sheffield using sustainable and quality materials.

Sweet Pea makes the perfect wedding or honeymoon gift, or even as a gift to yourself for no reason. Obviously it’s the perfect accessory for a BUB shoot.

Who is it for?

This e-book is designed for anyone who already photographs boudoir, or who is thinking about getting into boudoir photography. Most principles can be transferred to other genres too, such as portraiture in general, as the light work and practical exercises will work just the same. There are no rules as to who and why.

What is specific about this e-book is how to work with both real clients and models; how to help them feel more at-ease in-front of you and your camera, how to take flattering photographs of all body-types, how to use a woman’s vulnerability to tell their story, how to produce the type of images you want to and show to attract your dreams clients, and much much more.

Boudoir Photography Workshops

The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that absorbs you, frees you, challenges you, and gives you a sense of meaning, joy and passion ~ Terry Orlick

I love sharing my knowledge amongst others which is why I offer practical boudoir photography workshops.  I've been mentoring other photographers, running group workshops, and speaking at events and seminars for over 10 years.  Prior to starting my own photography business I was in educational arts running creative workshops for young people and adults around the Country. Being able to help others achieve their goals gives me great joy and it's really important to me.  The practical workshops are aimed to help build your skills, portfolio and practice, you will also see first hand how I work technically and how I communicate with my clients through a practical demonstration.

Please get in-touch if you would like to find out more.

I’m also about to release my E-Book which I have put together especially for boudoir photographers. In it I share the knowledge I have gained over years of experience, with lots of tips and guided practice exercises to carry out yourself. If you would like to find out more you can do so here.

Free Meditation & Affirmations Guide For Boudoir Photographers

BUB Meditation & Affirmations.png

I don't know about you but most of the time I need some inspiration, guidance and focus before my sessions. There is a big responsibility that comes with boudoir photography because as boudoir photographers we have to really be aware and tune into our client's energy, and clear any unwanted energy of own (which isn't always an easy thing to do). The most important part of our job is to help our client feel good about themselves.

How do you prepare yourself before a client arrives? I have to make sure that I’m in a good frame of mind before each session, so I created a method which I follow before each client arrives. It works for me and by sharing it I hope it also works for you too.

You can download my free meditation and affirmations guide by filling out the form below.

I appreciated your creation. It’s an easy read and reminds us that ‘we can do this!.’ And yes, I often over-think during a session and find that once I release that, the session goes so much better.
