““Had a fab time at my shoot and absolutely love my art work, I would certainly recommend anyone wanting to create timeless memories with this team and wish them all the success they deserve in the industry
Thanks guys! xx””
A Madison Bou Boudoir Photoshoot is about so much more than creating lovely pictures.
It's a celebration of confidence, sensuality, and embracing the beauty that defines you.
Whether you're considering this empowering experience for the very first time or seeking to renew your connection with your own sensuality, here are the top 20 reasons why choosing a Boudoir Photoshoot in Yorkshire could be the transformative journey you've been waiting for…
Because you are WORTH IT!
The Primary reason for booking a Yorkshire boudoir photography experience is because You are worth it and you deserve this!
Most women tend to be far too hard on themselves.
Do you hear a ‘little voice’ in the back of your head whispering "Hey girl, you're not good enough". ?
Do you find yourself comparing the way you look to other women or look in the mirror and hate what you see?
Well, know this…. We have been Professional boudoir photographers in Yorkshire for 2 decades and in that time we have photographed 100s of women of all shapes and sizes and we’ve never met a woman who didn't feel self-conscious about themselves in some way.
However, we’re here to tell you that the little voice inside your head is lying to you!
••• YOU are worth it and you DO deserve this •••
Being self-conscious isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. Think of it as nature's way of making sure you take care of yourself.
Like being self-conscious about the fact that your breath might stink, this helps you to remember to brush your teeth daily.
The problem is - we tend to let our self-conscious take too much control and it can be harmful to the psyche which can lead to signs of depression.
Because of this, we can end up taking even less care of ourselves!!
A boudoir photoshoot is a powerful way to celebrate self-love, embracing your body and appreciating the unique features that make you who you are and this is a wonderful way to improve mental health and create a positive state of mind.
Treat yourself to the ultimate gift of self-love, by creating an album of images that serve as a reminder of your strength, beauty, and resilience.
Doing this ‘just for you’ is the single best reason for booking a fabulous experience like this.
In fact, why not ask yourself the question, “When was the last time you did something just for yourself?”
Was it a week ago? a Month? or early last year?
A day of pampering and being treated like a supermodel may be just the treat you need to get your head back to that positive and healthy mindset again.
The entire Madison Bou experience is a form of stress relief, allowing you to relax, let go of inhibitions, and revel in the present moment. It will have you smiling and walking on air in no time! Really, the other 19 reasons for doing this are nothing by comparison… Investing in a boudoir photoshoot is an investment in your own well-being, providing a feel-good experience that radiates positivity.
2. To empower yourself and get a boost of self confidence
This is the perfect opportunity to go on an empowering journey, stepping a little out of your comfort zone and tap into your inner confidence to unleash the powerful, authentic version of yourself that often lies just beneath the surface.
This will boost your confidence and give you a deeper appreciation for your own beauty. It will help you see what your friends and loved ones already see in you.
Keep in mind that the perception you have of yourself can affect everything in your life, yet there is a point where you have to choose to take back control for yourself.
Enjoying a wonderful day of pampering, hair and makeup in a luxury setting will allow you to see how incredibly sexy you are. You’ll find this experience to be such a great boost to your self-esteem and self-confidence.
Strangely, there is something very empowering about walking around in nothing but heels and lingerie …
3. Celebrating your milestones
From buying your first home to celebrating a promotion at work, a Boudoir Photoshoot is a wonderful way to mark a personal milestone or achievement.
When was the last time you really celebrated a milestone and had some pictures from that time? It could be a landmark birthday or anniversary or any other significant life achievement.
For example, those who are overcoming challenges or life changes, a boudoir photoshoot can be a therapeutic and healing experience.

4. To Celebrate your Beautiful Body
Challenge traditional beauty standards and affirm body positivity by showcasing the beauty of all shapes, sizes, and ages through boudoir photography.
A Boudoir Photoshoot is an opportunity to celebrate yourself just the way you are.
Over the years, we slowly lose sight of the beauty we hold everyday, we forget that our bodies are amazing miracles. Now is the time to celebrate your beautiful body in all it’s amazing glory!
A Boudoir Photoshoot is also a perfect opportunity to show off your new body alterations - There are MANY body alterations you can celebrate: Your new tattoo/piercing, your new haircut, your hair finally grew out and you want to show off your gorgeous locks, maybe you just went through a major surgery and want to feel confidence about your scars. You see, there are so many reasons why you should do this.
5. Celebrate your age
A Boudoir Photoshoot is a perfect way to celebrate your age (and wisdom). - whether you are celebrating your fleeting youth while you still have it or if you are embracing your aging body, you should celebrate your age because every stage of your life is a part of your amazing life journey.
Part of that lifelong journey may include having a baby - Being pregnant is such a short period of time that we forget to enjoy it!
Often pregnant mums can only see themselves (to be blunt) as “blubbery whales”.
A boudoir session is the perfect time to commemorate this short but special period between you and your baby that you will never get back. Genuinely, you wouldn’t believe the number of women we see who wished they’d done something to mark this really special time.
You are growing a life!
Do a boudoir session to remind yourself that you are a goddess while bringing life into this world!
It’s not too late, even after you’ve given birth….After you finish bringing that little bundle of joy into the world, often what follows is a period of self-loathing - This is when so many Mums look at themselves in the mirror and start to yearn for their pre-baby bods.
A Madison Bou Experience is all about learning to love yourself and your body exactly as you are, right now and to appreciate that mummy tummy, that body of yours…. well it’s a little marvel, is what it is! It’s produced an amazing human baby, gone through 9 months of miraculous growth and you’ve come out the other side, older, yes, but wiser and absolutely more radiant and beautiful than ever before!!
This is the time to help yourself to feel like yourself again! A boudoir session after having your baby can help you feel like you're taking your body back.
6.Honour your life journey
Every person has a story, whether good or bad, it has formed the person we are today.
We should all honour our individual journeys and all the things we’ve been through.
A boudoir session can help you tell your story.
The boudoir experience can be seen as a cathartic journey, symbolising renewal and healing from personal challenges. Imagine embracing your strength and resilience through the camera, capturing moments that signify a triumphant overcoming of obstacles.
The resulting images will become a lasting,visual testament to your journey of healing and renewal.
7. Stress Relief
Many of our clients tell us that they feel like it was the perfect antidote to their stressful 9-5 lives. Especially those in stressful jobs who spend their days rushing around, making decisions and being responsible for hitting targets or deadlines all the time. A Madison Bou Experience is the perfect opportunity to regroup and give the responsibilty and decision making to someone else for a change (us) - The entire experience can be a form of stress relief, allowing you to relax, let go of inhibitions, and revel in the present moment.
8. You are Getting Married
During the planning stage of your wedding, it’s so exciting getting everything ready, for example choosing the dress, getting your body in shape, maybe you’ve bought a cute set of wedding lingerie that you can't wait to show your honey on the wedding night - whatever part you’re most excited about, you should definitely do a boudoir session to commemorate all the work you have been doing, both on your body and for the wedding day itself, by having a fun girl’s day with us!

10. You just got a Divorce
Hmmm, You may ask, why on earth would you want to celebrate one of the darkest times in your life such as a divorce?
Well, the reality is that life doesn’t always go according to plan and sometimes relationships just don’t work out. It’s part of the experience of life for so many people. However, for many, after finishing a relationship that didn’t work out, you may find yourself with an overwhelming sense of relief. After thinking all was lost in your life and wondering how you’d be able to cope on your own, you realise that you can cope and actually cope pretty well.
You sense a feeling of freedom for the first time in a long time.
This is why so many women come to us to celebrate this new found freedom with an empowering, confidence boosting Boudoir Photoshoot after getting divorced.
So, Whether for yourself or for your new dating profile, bring out those heels that have been stuffed in the back of your wardrobe for too long and let's take some new pics!
Amanda (below) did this for her 50th after just getting divorced and told us…
“I was so scared when i had my pictures took and Dave was so lovely and made me relax and actually enjoy the experience.They made me feel like a special guest and even gave me coffee,sandwiches and biscuits. I do not have a very high opinion of myself and had just been through a divorce and turned 50 and having the pictures done made me find me again..”
11. You need an excuse to put on that set of Lingerie you haven’t even worn yet
Yoh may have a special set of lingerie sitting in the back of your underwear drawer that you just never find an excuse to wear - Well, a Boudoir session is that PERFECT excuse! Get it out, check it fits properly and let’s do this!
12. The Perfect Excuse to go Shopping
Uh-oh! You tried on that set of lingerie and it turns out it doesn't fit (yikes!)
Whether it did at one point or it never really did, doesn't matter! Having a boudoir session is also the perfect excuse to go shopping for some new outfits! Who DOESN'T love shopping, right?!
13. Because it’s your Birthday
You should do a photography session around your birthday to celebrate every single year! So slip on that birthday suit of yours and let's do a boudoir session!
14. Because your Lover’s Birthday is coming up
Remember, the primary reason for doing this should always be you, because YOU’RE worth it but when that someone special's birthday is coming up, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t let your lover have some of the fun as well and a super sexy momento that they can admire more than just that one day of the year, is the perfect gift to beat all others.
15. Valentines day
An obvious one, this, of course but a Folio Box of Art Prints featuring you looking the best and sexiest you’ve ever looked is so much more personal and thoughtful than any other Valentines Gift you could think of. We offer a Unique boudoir experience in Yorkshire and can create a day specifically around your needs and whether it’s Valentine's day, Father's day, Mother's day, Christmas, or one of the many other days we celebrate, a boudoir session can make the perfect and totally unique, sexy surprise gift for your significant other.
16. To Spice things up with your Lover
Whether you want to give them some sexy portraits of yourself to titillate them or do a couple's boudoir session with them, a boudoir session is the perfect way of bringing a little sexy back into your relationship! For couples, a Boudoir Photoshoot can enhance intimacy, strengthen connections, and create lasting memories that celebrate the bond you both share.
17. Preserve this moment to last a lifetime
Every woman, as they age, loves to look back on old pictures of themselves, but not many women actually have that many photos of themselves (that are not poorly lit bathroom selfies, lol) and even if you do, not many are high quality photographs.
You should properly preserve this moment of your life so in 20, 30, or even 50 years from now, you can look back at your boudoir portraits to remember this beautiful moment, so your memories can last a lifetime. We’ve lost count of the number of times clients have told us they’re not getting any younger so now’s the time to do this. (But, what if they’d done this 10 years ago?)
18. To gain a new Perspective on Yourself
Over time, we build a mental picture of ourselves based on the flaws that we see everyday; things that only we really see. Your friends and family see you for the beautiful person you really are but the more flaws that you notice, the worse your mental image of yourself becomes.
A boudoir session can help you gain a new perspective on yourself, to see yourself in a whole new light. To see yourself through someone else’s non judgemental eyes.
At Madison Bou, we will help you to replace that horrible mental image of yourself with the image of that truly beautiful version of yourself, those gorgeous flaws and all…
Emma (below) summed it up perfectly when she told us…
“I used to be confident and carefree. I never worried what anyone thought and I was comfortable in my own skin. I've never been beautiful but I have felt it.
That all changed without me even realising, years of little comments, digs, remarks - all designed to chip away until, frankly, I didn't even recognise myself, let alone love myself.
My body felt like it was no longer my own. It was something that someone else was entitled to, my needs were not important and my feelings even less so. I read something recently that having a low sex drive is not really a thing, that your sex drive is connected to how you are feeling in that moment. I had come to believe I had no sex drive, when in fact what I had was no desire due to being made to feel completely undesirable.
Hitting 40 and being single for the first time in a long time, I was determined to change this. For me, not for anyone else. A boudoir shoot has always been on my bucket list so what better time?
I went through all the reasons not to, I'd put on weight, needed my eyebrows done, wanted another tattoo, it was self indulgent, what was the point if I wasn't going to share the pictures, but ultimately decided to jump out of my comfort zone and in front of the camera.
It was such a lovely day, I felt a million dollars all day, the centre of attention but without any pressure. A sneak peak at some of the photos on the back of the camera and I knew I was gonna love them. When Dave asked at the end of the day, had it been what I expected, my reply was "Even better, if there's not a picture I like, it will still have been worth every penny"
Of course, I loved all the pictures and spent more than I had intended but you know what... I am worth it!”
19. To try something new and daring
Sometimes when we feel constantly self-conscious we want to stay in our safe little bubble and never come out... But no one ever achieved their dreams or went anywhere in life from inside their comfort zone.
Doing something exciting and new can be amazing for your soul.
We all know that terrifying feeling, being unsure... A boudoir session can help you grow as a person, to try something daring, while being in our ‘judgement free safe space’.
20. To have high-quality photos of yourself
Boudoir is a form of artistic expression where you can become both the canvas and the masterpiece, creating images that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Like a real work of art, you could consider a stunning picture of you as a large print on your wall. Perhaps a number of pictures of you bound into a stunning, luxury book, made to last a lifetime. Unlike those snaps we post liberally on social media which is unlikely to be around forever, true luxury is having archival prints made which can be passed down the generations.
Perhaps you are a singer, performer, model, or other type of entertainer that needs to build your portfolio - having a boudoir session mixed with some outdoor, funky portraits perhaps is the perfect way to build a portfolio for that upcoming casting call. We offer special digital only rates for portfolio building.
A Madison Bou boudoir photoshoot is not just a collection of images; it's a transformative celebration of everything that makes you uniquely beautiful.
Consider all of these Top reasons for a boudoir shoot in Yorkshire and decide on the ones that resonate with you, and let the empowering journey begin….
