There are many reasons to enjoy a Madison Bou Experience - Here we list 7 (although I'm sure you can imagine more) reasons why we believe that ALL women should have a Boudoir Experience.

We have hundreds of women featured on our website. You’ll find the women we’ve photographed in the portfolio section and throughout the blog, in dozens of articles. Is it likely that we’ve paid money to hire models for every single picture? How on earth would we make money?

The truth is that we have used models, particularly early on in our career and recommend the use of models when high quality pictures are needed for education or marketing purposes because models should be better at relaxing in front of the camera in an efficient and timely manner. They’ll also agree to the use of their images for marketing because, well, that’s their job. However, it would be impossible to set up a business based on purely the work of models. The last model we hired was several years ago and these days we never use models unless they hire us to refresh their portfolio. The simple fact is that our business is based on experience and trust. We have worked with hundreds of women of all ages and all sizes and we work really hard to build trust with our clients so that they relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera and looking relaxed and comfortable is the secret to looking amazing in boudoir photos. With few exceptions, every woman you see on our website is an everyday Mum, Nurse, retail worker, admin assistant, manager, bar tender, lawyer, Doctor…. You name it, an everyday woman. Not a model. With few exceptions, almost every woman you see on our website has never been professionally photographed before and certainly not half dressed in such an intimate and personal way. Many of these women don’t generally wear make up or heels and rarely get the opportunity to ‘glam up’ for anything other than special occasions. Many are in relationships that have cooled off the the point that they come to us to reignite their spark. They want us to help them find their mojo once more.

Life is often seen as a series of highs and lows with the rush of excitement often giving way to the mundanity of the everyday. Our clients often come to us during the more mundane periods to regain that rush of excitement they feel they deserve. They come to us to learn how to love themselves again (or maybe even for the first time)

This is why a Boudoir Experience with Madison Bou is so powerful. It’s a way of increasing your own self worth and all the women below are normal women, just like you, yet, you’ll see they end up looking just like models. We don’t make these women look beautiful, we just allow their natural beauty to shine.

Next time you are stuck at home on a gloomy day, find and window and watch your sexy self shine brighter than ever!

The secret lies in the magic of window light.Are you tired of your pictures looking dull and lifeless?

Well, you don’t need fancy lighting that costs an arm and a leg. In fact, most of the time, all you really need is daylight and a window.Artists have used window light to create beautiful portraits for centuries.

Controlling the light is crucial though and so here are some simple tips on getting great window light portraits…1. Consider the direction of the window light. Observe where the light is coming from. Side lighting can create beautiful textures and shadows, as the light skims across the natural curves of the body. The shadows can create an air of mystery and allure.

Front lighting, where the window is directly lighting the subject is shadowless and soft creating less drama but plenty of beauty and back lighting can be used to create silhouettes for a totally different look and feel.

A fashion-style confidence-boosting photoshoot offers a unique opportunity for mums to empower their teenagers.

In the midst of adolescence, where self-discovery and self-esteem are paramount, such a photoshoot becomes a transformative experience. It allows teenagers to explore and embrace their personal style, fostering a positive body image and self-confidence.

This experience becomes a cherished memory, reminding teenagers of their uniqueness and instilling a sense of confidence that radiates from within. It's a thoughtful and empowering gift that transcends the realm of a typical photoshoot, leaving a lasting impact on a teenager's self-perception.

Every woman has fantasies.

She wants to be powerful, beautiful and magical.

Yet, so many women find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of daily life juggling responsibilities, careers, and families and all this leaves little time for the indulgencies of ‘fantasies’ let alone any time for self-care and self-appreciation.

This is where a boudoir session can make a profound difference.

An intimate boudoir style photography session is the perfect way to realise some of of your indulgent fantasies.

In a friendly and safe environment, you get to be a ‘film star’ for the day or ‘super-model’ capable of inspiring love and lust with just a look.

It truly is all about you!

A boudoir session is not just a photoshoot; it's a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. It's an opportunity to break free from the constraints of self-doubt and acceptable norms and to celebrate your unique beauty, sensuality, and confidence.

In an age where self-confidence is a priceless commodity, boudoir photography offers a way to embrace it fully.

Today we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing clients - Emma.

Emma writes a blog about her life’s journey and this is an extract from her blog about the day she came to enjoy an empowering Madison Bou Photoshoot.

We loved the open-ness and honesty of the blog and asked Emma if we copy her article and post it here. She was more than happy to share these thoughts and we feel certain that this will resonate with so many of our readers and clients.

In a world where self-expression and body positivity are celebrated more than ever, it's no wonder that Boudoir Photography has become an empowering trend.

Boudoir Photoshoots aren't just about capturing sensual imagery; they are a journey of self-discovery and self-celebration and while the allure of a studio photoshoot is undeniable, we have discovered from our clients that there's something incredibly appealing about the intimacy and comfort of having a Boudoir Photoshoot in the comfort of a real living space away from the cold, clinical space of a traditional white walled studio. A living space such as one of our preferred, luxury hotel suites or apartments around Yorkshsire has proved to be a real step up from a tradiotional studio and now many of our clients are asking if we could come to them for an even more personal experience.

For this reason, we have now started offering the opportunity to book ‘in- home’ Boudoir experiences - This is where we bring everything we need to your space and photograph you, literally in the comfort of your own home.

Perhaps you’ve spent a significant amount of time and money in creating your Dream home and now want to show it off in your pictures. What could be more personal than this? We’ve found there are so many advantages to an ‘in-home’ experience (Though, of course, we do realise it’s not for everyone)

Top 20 items to wear for boudoir photos

Are you preparing for your shoot and curious about what to wear for your boudoir photos?

Here is a list of popular items including some links to where to find them.

Be creative when choosing your boudoir wardrobe. You do not need to wear the same old boring lingerie sets. Layering is also a great way to change the look.

Some photographers say that your facial expression is the most important part of the boudoir photo. And while we agree that your face can make or break the picture, there is so much more at play.Your body language, lighting, outfits…to name a few.

And in some photos, all those things can take the spotlight.

That’s right, your face doesn’t have to be the centre of the attention all the time. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be in the photo at all. Which some of our clients prefer.

Your ultra sexy “model for the day” Madison Bou Boudoir Photoshoot will leave you feeling empowered, sensual, beautiful and eager for your next session.

The vast majority of our clients have never had a photoshoot experience before and have no idea what to expect or how to pose in front of a camera. Funnily enough, the people who are the worst at posing are often those women who are constantly posting ‘selfies’ on the socials because this is where the bad habits are picked up. We then spend a good deal of time training away the ‘trout face’ and backward leans that comes from making faces into a poor, wide angle phone camera lens, held at arms length. It’s really an unflattering look and I can’t help but wonder how embarrassed we’ll all be, one day, when we move on from the ‘selfie look’. ..

We love classic black lingerie and soft white lingerie, but how about experimenting with some colour?!

There’s a colour to suit everyone.

Which would you choose?

Capturing the Generations: The Beauty of Three-Generation Photoshoots

In a fast-paced world where moments come and go, capturing your family's legacy is a precious treasure.

Three-generation photoshoots have become an increasingly popular way to freeze time, showcasing the bonds that transcend the generations. These photoshoots are not just snapshots; they are stories of love, connection, and shared experiences.

Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider a three-generation photoshoot for your family:

Our clients are everything to us. Without referrals and repeat business we wouldn’t have made it through the last 20 years of taking pictures. This is our lifeblood. Any marketeer will tell you that it’s far more expensive to advertise for brand new clients than it is to market to the clients you already have. It’s why we bend over backwards to look after our clients and do whatever we can to create fully customised photoshoots specific to each clients’ needs. Below you’ll find a few of our past clients and some of the reasons they chose to book a Photoshoot day with us.

This was a lovely liberating experience. I had a wonderful time enjoyed every second of it. The look on my partners face when we viewed the photos was priceless… Christine (pictured)

The day was great I was put at ease straight away. It was lovely to be pampered and I was made to feel at ease. It is a big thing as a woman to be parading around in your scanties however it is a very empowering experience and I would recommend it to any woman…Lucy (Pictured)

I was really nervous before my shoot but you both made me feel so at ease. You joked about how many emails you sent out but believe me, I read them all!! Most people said they felt exactly how I did so that was reassuring to know. The tips on which underwear to choose was also really great, helping me to select which would work the best for me as I hadn’t worn anything like this for years!

I felt really comfortable in your company, Jayne asked how I felt in the makeup as it was more than I would usually wear and was on hand to make my hair look fabulous too. Advising which outfits would work the best and helping me into them. Touching up makeup and hair all the way through.

With plenty of words of encouragement my confidence soon began to grow and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and fun!!

Emma - in her own words…

“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.

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. - this is when I found Madison Bou. They were not the cheapest but I loved the feel of their website. I bit the bullet and booked.

Few genres are as intimate and empowering as Boudoir Photography.

It's a celebration of individuality, confidence, and self-expression, offering a canvas for our client’s personality to be captured through the lens.

Recently, we had the honour of conducting a boudoir photoshoot with Helen, a remarkable client, adorned with some of the most stunning tattoos we've ever seen. This is why we love photographing great ink. It’s that fusion of sensuality and artistry illustrated perfectly in this exceptional photoshoot…
