Boudoir Photography in Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall
…Empower yourself
…Rediscover yourself as a woman
…Show yourself how much you love you!
Whether you’re celebrating your body or are on the road to body acceptance or self- love, my boudoir sessions aim to show you just how beautiful you truly are. As a boudoir photographer in Devon, I believe that every lady, no matter of size or age, has the right to feel incredible and exist in beautiful images. Boudoir Photography is so much more than having your photograph taken in lingerie. It’s a state of mind…it’s about exploring yourself in a powerful and wonderful way. I have a range of digital and printed products so that you can present, display or store your images beautifully.
Before your session, I will give you some information on how to prepare. When you arrive at my relaxed and comfortable studio, we’ll go through your wardrobe options over a cuppa and I’ll introduce you to your makeup artist. Together you will choose the intensity and style of your makeover.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY IN PLYMOUTH, DEVON
I have lingerie available for ladies to wear in their sessions in various sizes, mostly consisting of bodysuits. I find bodysuits are flattering for all body types. They are not only beautiful but cover up tummies, are smoother across the body so do not create bulges like some corsets and other items quite often do. It doesn’t have to be lingerie! An oversized jumper, fitted t-shirt or vest with some cute knickers can also look gorgeous! How much you bare is entirely up to you!
The shoot will take up to 2 hours. I will photograph you in a variety of setups and lingerie or outfit changes. I will direct you from head to toe in a variety of flattering poses. I have no expectation on anyone to know how to use themselves – that’s my job!
It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous! After all, having your photograph taken under normal circumstances can be daunting, let alone when you’re in your underwear. I have photographed many nervous ladies and they have all ended up enjoying the experience and surprised themselves! You may feel a little uncomfortable for the first 10 minutes or so of the photoshoot, but once you realise that it’s my job to pose you and all you have to do is follow my direction, you’ll be fine…I promise!
THE DAY OF YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION
Sessions take place at my studio and only you and I will be present. There will be no-one else to worry about seeing you. I am not one for blowing my own trumpet but if you read the experiences from other ladies you will read that I have a patient, relaxed yet professional approach during photoshoots. Head over to the ‘Reviews’ page to find out more.
Your makeover will take around 1-1.5hrs and during that time, I will make a bespoke and personalised plan for your photoshoot and get to know you a little better!
After the shoot, we will have an online viewing session where you’ll see your images for the first time and you can then choose your package and any additional products. See them here
Think of a boudoir session as an investment. Photographs that could leave you with so much more confidence, feeling sexier and for some, the peace of mind that comes with improved body acceptance. Photographs to look back on that make you feel amazing!
Bridal Boudoir
These sessions are designed either for Brides-to-be who would like to give their partner a special gift on the morning of their big day, or after your wedding day for you to make the most of your bridal lingerie, or perhaps to celebrate an anniversary.
For this session, you can bring your bridal lingerie or something white and any other accessories that you’d like to feature in the photographs, such as your veil, bouquet, jewellery, shoes & any other accessories such as a garter. I have robes that work well in this session as well as some artificial bouquets and a veil that you are welcome to use. I also have a range of white bodysuits in the studio wardrobe.
A lot of my brides choose to do a mix of themes in their session, which means we can spend part of the session on the bridal theme and the rest can be my standard boudoir style.
Couples Boudoir
What an amazing way to celebrate your relationship!
Again this session is fully guided, comfortable and fun.
Here’s what this fabulous couple had to say about their session…
“We had the most amazing time with Rachel. We did a couples shoot as we dont have many photos, despite being together for nearly 2 decades. My OH was extremely nervous, he hates having his photo taken, but Rachel managed to put him at ease almost immediately. The results speak for themselves. We had a magical time and have the most amazing photos that really capture the best facets of our relationship, from intimate and cosy to smoking hot!
Classic Boudoir
This is all about you! Celebrating your body, your attitude, your confidence and your beauty – inside and out.
I will photograph you in a variety of setups and lingerie or outfit changes. I will direct you from head to toe in a variety of flattering poses. I have no expectation on anyone to know how to use themselves – that’s my job!
“This is the fourth time I have been with Rache and each time it just gets better! I initially booked post-breast cancer in 2021 and have been a return client after reconstructive surgery. Due to what my body has been through with chemotherapy and major surgery, I continue to struggle with self-esteem and adjustment to my post cancer body (and hair loss) but when I am with Rache, I feel a million dollars.”
