What To Expect from a Boudoir Session?

What is it like to have a boudoir shoot?


You are wondering what to expect at your boudoir session.

Stepping into a boudoir session can feel like stepping into the unknown, especially if it’s your first time. But trust me – the moment you arrive, any nerves will melt away.


A boudoir shoot is an empowering experience, designed to celebrate your confidence, beauty, and uniqueness. Whether you’re booking a session as a wedding gift, a confidence boost, or a self-love experience, knowing what to expect will help you feel prepared and excited.


If you’re considering a boudoir session in Birmingham, here’s a step-by-step guide to what happens during your shoot and why it’s one of the most transformative experiences you’ll ever have.

 What to expect at your boudoir session?


From the moment you walk into the studio, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident,

and at ease.


Before your session, we go through the outfits you brought, discussing the order in which you’d like to wear them and which ones are your favourites.


Whether you’ve brought lingerie, oversized shirts, elegant robes, or nothing but confidence, I’ll help you choose the best outfits that will look best in the pictures and on you. If you have any insecurities, we don’t want to highlight them, so we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you wear.


Then, you’ll sit back and enjoy a pampering session with a professional hair and makeup artist (HMUA), who will enhance your natural beauty while helping you relax. Your favourite music will be playing in the background, and there will be snacks available to keep you feeling your best.

Most clients start the session feeling a little nervous – that’s completely normal! But within the first few minutes, you’ll see just how easy and fun the experience is. I’ll guide you through everything:

  • Posing Direction – You don’t need to know how to pose; I’ll show you exactly what to do with simple, natural movements.

  • Confidence Boosting – Throughout the shoot, I’ll give you encouragement and feedback, so you feel amazing in front of the camera.

  • Natural Flow – The session is designed to feel natural, never forced. We’ll start with easy poses and gradually build up to more expressive ones.

  • Comfort First – You can begin wearing more covering clothing if that helps you feel at ease, and then slowly transition to more revealing outfits as your confidence builds.

  • There’s no pressure – everything happens at your own pace.

Something incredible happens during a boudoir shoot – you start to see yourself differently. Those initial nerves turn into excitement, confidence, and even empowerment.


The experience isn’t just about taking beautiful photos; it’s about reconnecting with yourself, embracing your sensuality, and celebrating your body exactly as it is.


By the time we’re halfway through, you’ll likely be having so much fun that you won’t want the session to end! A boudoir session typically lasts around one hour, but I never watch the clock. I book only one session per day, so there’s no rush – this experience is all about you.



If you’ve chosen the Same Day Viewing option, we’ll meet again two hours after your session so you can select your favourite images immediately. Otherwise, your Viewing App takes place usually one week after your session.
