Can I Book A Start Time Not Listed On The Calendar?
We’d prefer you booked in on one of our set times, however you are very welcome to contact us to ask. We have set start times for boudoir sessions as we often have multiple clients per day and it allows for better organisation of our time.
Can I Bring Somebody With Me?
Yes of course, you are very welcome to bring somebody with you. Please note however our shoot venue isn’t huge, so we’d prefer this to be one person than an entourage of family and friends.
Who Is Present During The Shoot?
From our side it will just be Paul present, nobody else. You are welcome to bring somebody with you if that would make you more comfortable.
I’m Not Sure About A Man Photographing Me!
Then definitely choose a woman photographer. Boudoir shoots are an intimate experience which you need to be at your most comfortable. We’ve done hundreds of boudoir shoots over the years and Paul will always be super professional and help you to relax and enjoy the shoot, however we understand that being photographed by a male in these circumstances isn’t for everybody.

If your booked portrait session date falls within the next 7 days then this is non-refundable under any circumstances. Should you wish to change your date to another we will always do our best to accommodate this so long as we are given more than 7 days’ notice of your booked in portrait session date.

Katie Moles –
I’d wanted to do a boudoir photoshoot for so long but have never been the most confident of people., taking my clothes off in front of a stranger filled me with more than a little bit of fear. I spoke with Paul on the phone prior to booking and was instantly made to feel like I could do it. His calm approach to boudoir photography, along with his clear experience of having done it many times was just what I needed. I booked on and was not disappointed. The shoot was brilliant, so much fun, I almost want to go back and do it again! The photos are stunning, I cannot believe it is me that is in them. This ended up being so much more than just a photoshoot for me, it was an experience I shall always remember when I look at my amazing photos.
