My Ethos

From the start of our lives, people of all genders are told, directly or indirectly how to act, look, speak, express (or even suppress) themselves in all areas of life and especially around sex & beauty.

​

Many 'boudoir' & beauty photoshoots conform to these standards, including airbrushing and editing to create an unnatural, 'porcelain' finish as that is deemed to be desirable. The selling point of this is "We will make you look beautiful!"  Whilst I do sometimes make adjustments/enhancements to the overall image, I do not change you or the essence of the image.

​

Why do I choose not to do this?

​

For me, there is potential to compare yourself to these images and there may be moments when you realise that is not actually how you look on a daily basis. This could fuel the perpetual narrative that if you don't look or act like that, you need to change, are undesirable, unworthy etc.

​

I want to say here that I'm not totally against this kind of photography. However it is more about creating a 'what could be' piece of art. Rather than MAKING you look beautiful, the experience I offer is to celebrate that you ARE beautiful, exactly as you are!

​

Including whatever 'flaws' you may feel you have, however you maybe feeling or whatever challenges you are facing.​

​Rather than dictating how you should pose, look or express yourself, I want to create a safely held container where you can simply be your authentic self and together we can discover who is really inside wanting to be let out!

​

Do you want to find and unleash your inner god/goddess?

Would you like to bring out your Eros/life energy?

We could celebrate wherever you are in your continuing life journey of discovery!

Maybe you would like to freely release emotion and have it captured?

​

Whether it is through dress, nudity, sex, kink, dance or emotional release, however you wish to express yourself is welcome!

​

Emotions are welcome and will be held with respect and care as required.

​

If you wish to have a session with a friend or partner that is also welcome!

What to Expect

All bookings will have a half hour video call so we can get to know each other as well as get a feel for what we can both expect and what you hope to get from the shoot.

​

If you wish to bring a partner or friend for support that is welcome.

​​​

On the day we will have a check in with time to ground, guided breathing exercises and a small cacao ceremony as a heart opener to aid the exploration.

​

I recomend a 3 hour booking so that we are not rushed and allow the expression and creativity to flow, as well as breaks, rest,  clothing changes & experimenting as desired.

​

Two hour bookings are the minimum I offer for these type of shoots.

​

There will be 3 colour backgrounds to use, each offering a different feel.

​

There will then be time for a closing check in and a debrief a few days later.

​

Unlike other shoots, you will receive ALL the final photos.  Every experience is different and so you can expect anywhere between 5 - 50 photos.  Please allow two weeks for the photos to be sorted, tweeked etc and they will be delivered via an online transfer service.​

​

To enhance the space I will often burn inscense and use sage before you arrive. If you have any sensitivies to these aromas, please let me know.
