Beyond Boudoir - stories from in front of the camera

In this episode I’m chatting with Charlene

Like most episodes it was recorded straight after her appointment.

Charlene was so much fun to host in the studio, she brought an energy with her that was infectious! She was a combination of wanting to go with the flow and be directed, but also had some creative visions she wanted to achieve. Namely a fedora hat and a leather look corset. We captured one of my favorite shots ever, a high contrast black and white where you could either view her as a gangster's moll OR the gangster. It mixes strength, beauty, femininity and some of her masculine energy.  In fact, this was the image she chose to have printed as part of her session package.

So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while we chat.

In this episode we’re chatting with Wendy.

As always, this was recorded right after her appointment.

Wendy is definitely a very interesting person who’s led an interesting life and it was great getting to know her. She’s been through a lot, had many challenges and yet is one of the most smiley and upbeat people I’ve met. She’s giggly and playful and laughed during most of her shoot.

She’s also the reason we have a dance pole in the studio, so thank you for that Wendy, I love it!

By the time this episode comes out, Wendy has had her reveal and ordered a stunning album from the Venice collection. It’s beautiful, just like she is. So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while I chat with her.

In this episode we’re chatting with Hayley

We recorded this interview right after her session, as we try to do.

Hayley booked her appointment way back in my Black Friday sale of 2023 but a series of very bad weather warnings and her punishing works schedule meant she couldn’t join us until April 2024.

It was worth the wait though! Hayley is a generally confident person and she quickly got into the flow of posing and working with us to capture beautiful images.

In this episode we're talking with Melissa

We did the recording straight after her Boudoir experience and things got a little emotional,  as they often do.

There was one special point in her session that blew us away and made us smile, she went in to get changed while Olivia and I were setting up for the next set and she didn't come out in the outfit that we were expecting, she actually came out in just a white sheet and said “let’s do some nudes” which was so cool that she could express herself in that way.

The other thing that she revealed that was really interesting to us was that she had booked a Boudoir experience with another photographer many years ago but couldn’t follow through, she canceled her appointment so we're really happy that she came and joined us today. She had an amazing time.

In this episode I chat with Olivia, my friend, hair stylist and studio assistant. We talk about her time in front of my camera, her time with the camera shooting behind the scenes footage and the studio in general.
