YOUR OWN HOME
Proud of your own home? Why not arrange your boudoir shoot there and really show it off?
Whether its your own ‘boudoir’, the newly decorated, fancy guest bedroom, your cinema/games room, or the hot tub in the garden, we can help to create some magical boudoir pictures of you looking beautiful surrounded by your favourite things! The bonus, of course, is that you’ll be super comfortable in such a familiar environment and the resulting book of images or wall art pieces will be even more personal. We often put so much time and effort into creating our dream home, wouldn’t it be amazing to document all that effort in such a beautiful way? Any homoe will look amazing in a boudoir shoot - We’ve even made Kitchens and bathrooms look fantastic in home boudoir shoots. The first picture of Chris and Chrissie below, for example. was photographed using available light on a very grey day in their conservatory.
LUXURY HOTEL STAY
From chic and contemporary to full statement wallpaper and ornate headboards, why not indulge in a space that inspires you and use it as an excuse for a full day of pampering? Some of our signature photoshoots already include a stay-over option but if you have a preferred luxury hotel in mind then we can help arrange it for you. Maybe you want to stay in your favourite room you’ve stayed in before or stay somewhere special for an anniversary. This is what this experience is all about.
If there’s a significant love in your life, get them to meet you afterwards and make an overnight stay of it!

AIR BNB
There are loads of affordable houses and flats available that would offer an amazing location for your Boudoir Photoshoot. Ornate bathrooms, high ceilings, original features, floor to ceiling windows with a views to die for, an opulent fireplace or open plan room with a circular staircase… anything with a four-poster bed or roll top bath is perfect for Boudoir too. There is literally so much choice on Air BNB and in almost every location you’ll be spoilt for choice. Most owners tend to be pretty relaxed about their properties being used for photoshoots but it’s always good to make sure beforehand. Below are some examples from Leeds and York.
HIRE A VENUE
Many hospitality venues are only in use at certain times of the day/week, so why not see if you can get access during their off peak hours to host your boudoir shoot. Consider Cafes, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and theatres which are all great places to explore. Wharehouses and industrial complexes like the ones used below can be fabulously inspiring and unique locations for something very different to the norm.
OUTDOOR LOCATIONS
Feeling a little more adventurous? How about checking permissions with a local land owner for a shoot in rape fields or on hay stacks? When the weather’s on our side, we can make the most incredible boudoir images outdoors. Consider something in an Urban setting, in the Woods, something at night or sunrise, sunset.
CREATE SOMETHING AS UNIQUE AS YOU
Looking for something completely bespoke? Think about something completely unique… Riding a horse, on the beach, with a special car, an abandoned car wash like the one you see below. Anything is possible with a little forethought and planning. What about an Air Museum or private airport runway, or on a helipad. A favourite shop or restaurant after closing time. The restricted section of the local library. Remember, anything is possible with a little planning. The possibilities are limitless. If you’ve got an epic idea, tell us about it.
