TESTIMONIALS
I love seeing and hearing people reactions when they see their photographs for the first time, it is my favourite part of this job.
​
​
Boudoir photography is a very personal experience and often quite a big deal for people to get half naked on camera so reactions are very different from 'Wow i look quite pretty actually' to the even better response 'I didnt know I could feel like that!'
​
​
Below are just a few testimonials from lovely Ladies I have photographed, feel free to have a read through and if you want to have a chat about how I could help you could feel this good, give me a call
I'll be grateful for you for the rest of my life!
I have never been such a big head! I can't stop looking at the photos, they give me the best feeling.
​
I booked with you because I loved everything I saw on the website and your ethos of your clients staying true to themselves and the 1st meeting with you felt like I had known you forever.
​
Before the shoot I was most nervous about looking as uncomfortable as I felt at 1st or just looking stupid. So as it started I was uncomfortable but honestly not long in I got the hang of it and had a bloody blast and by the end I felt like a flipping model. Now for someone that never has a picture of herself as I just don’t like them it was amazing that I struggled to select my photos to keep because I liked so many of them!
​
I purchased the digital package and it was the epitome of luxury. The presentation was 1st class bougie!
​
I Love love loved my makeup. I asked for help with picking colors out that would suit me and she smashed it out of the park. She was also super lovely which helped.
It was just so fun! The start was lovely as you get totally pampered having hair and makeup done. As it started I was super nervous but then it was just fun and so empowering!!!
​
There isn’t really a way to describe it that would do my feelings justice. My favorite part was when I got to 3/4 in to the shoot and realized what I was doing no one will ever be able to take that feeling of pride away from me! I felt excited in awe of myself and so so proud.
Thank you for helping me find my confidence!
I really appreciate all you've done for me, it's definitely been a journey!
I wanted to do the the shoot because i wanted to be able to feel more comfortable with who I am, but to help empower me with what I already had rather than looking like someone else.
I was nervous how I would appear on camera, how big I would look and feeling awkward in person, but Maddy quickly put my nerves at ease and made me feel amazing about myself from the off.
I felt my confidence grow more and more as the session went on. I felt like by the end of it I was proud of the body I had
I was amazed, not just because of the make-up and hair but how Maddy had captured me in the right light and positions, some that I must admit I thought whilst doing would not look sexy looked amazing! She knew her stuff!
I was very happy, with my make up, it was amazing but not too overboard, and the hair was exactly how I'd asked for it too.
I ordered the Digital package and it was very classy, the way the USB stick is presented is perfect and shows just what good quality is used, the pictures were delivered with care and are of very good quality too.
My favorite part of the whole experience was finding out that I don't have to be a size zero to be sexy and feeling my confidence grow each time I think about just what I did!
Maddy looked after me from start to finish was amazing and something I've never experienced before.
"What! You have to be kidding me, this is amazing! Our photos have just been delivered, Thank you so much we absolutely love it"
Maddy, we honestly cannot thank you enough for everything. We are so happy, I can’t quite put it into words!
We decided to book a shoot with Maddy because we liked the style of the photos and the website layout. When we met Maddy and made a real connection so we felt very comfortable with her before the shoot.
Before the shoot we were both comfortable so was more excited than nervous. Maddy gave us tips on how to prepare so we felt confident prior.
The shoot itself was amazing, we loved every minute of it. Maddy was professional and paid such close attention to the small details, we were in good hands, and my make over was amazing, the stylist done a beautiful job. I couldn’t have been happier.
When we saw our photos, WOW!! So amazed!! They were perfect!! We ordered a album and it was Absolutely amazing, gorgeous in quality and style.
Our favourite part of the experience was Spending time together, we had the best day. We laughed and giggled and felt as though we were in our own world. Having the time to only focus on us was pretty incredible.
I love them all so much, honestly i am awe of what you do and how you manage to capture such amazing images, i want to share them everywhere!
​
I booked the shoot as a surprise for my husbands birthday and they were definite a winner, he was a tad speechless!
​
I was so nervous about Seeing my face in photos. I was so wrong - Maddy caught some amazing shots and even where I am laughing/smiling - making me actually like myself!
​
My session was Absolutely amazing!! Maddy is phenomenal; makes you feel instantly at ease, guides you in poses and just makes the whole experience a total pleasure and possibly a little addictive.
​
On First Seeing my Photos? I thought Wow - oh my god - is that really me. Loved them so much and felt totally empowered.
​
I loved my makeup too; I hate having my make up done, I don’t wear a lot, but it was done perfectly and I looked (and felt) like me. Couldn’t fault a single thing.
​
I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience, It was bloody brilliant. Couldn’t fault any part of it. Great quality, service and communication from Maddy throughout.
You are made to feel amazing, and it’s great to feel your confidence grow through the shoot and enjoy every second.
Oh Wow, Thank you so much i'm crying (happy tears) I cannot thank you enough! I keep looking at them and thinking how good i look, i love my body!
​
I chose to get a Boudoir shoot done, because i wanted to feel confident in my own body. I was very nervous before the shoot; but i felt absolutely amazing and comfortable with Maddy.
The shoot itself was amazing. Comfortable and welcoming. We had lots of laughs and Maddy gave me lots of Compliments and built my self- esteem and confidence during the session.
When i first saw my photos i thought Wow!! How amazing I do actually look in lingerie and that I can pull it off!
I ordered the USB package; Overall the product is incredible-
The delivery was quick, communication and support is amazing. Pictures are of a high quality.
My makeover was incredible- my whole experience was 100% would rate both the makeover and Maddy was 5 star. My hair stayed in for three days after the shoot, didn’t drop. My makeup was done how I wanted it (natural). I am just so happy with the service and professionalism.
Maddy is so lovely, caring and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. The whole process was outstanding- would highly recommend. Overall, I am one very very happy customer and would recommend to anyone. Amazing service 5 stars!
​
Thanks again for everything. I have told all my friends to use you, I absolutely loved the experience.
It was easy to see how passionate you are about boudoir photography. On meeting you, I was even more certain that I wanted to book with you. You made me feel comfortable and at ease very quickly and you spent time getting to know me. Before the shoot I was most nervous about posing for photos as I'm not very good at it but that didn't happen because there was a lot of laughter which made me relax. Also, the constant reminders to breathe helped! :)
The session was amazing. I cannot thank you enough. I felt pampered and incredibly special. I was comfortable and happy to pose for photos. I felt like a model! I loved spending the day smiling and laughing and feeling pampered, i was very happy with my makeup and hair they looked very natural which is what I asked for.
When i saw the photos for the first time I was incredibly happy and excited to show my husband. When I first saw them I didn't think they looked like me as the photos are incredibly beautiful. They now serve as a reminder that I am beautiful. I ordered the digital package The presentation was so lovely...much better than anticipated.
I wouldn't change a thing!
You are right-EVERY woman should do a boudoir photo shoot!
​
I'm overwhelmed and so so grateful my darling!
I just wanted to say thank u again because since I saw and chose my pics I have had this massive confidence boost and its literally down to you and the shoot!
​
After our first call I knew you were the right photographer for me. I suffer with body dysmorphia and I was so worried but you coached my through the shoot. I wasn’t really nervous until the day then it hit me! I felt anxious to start with but eventually relaxed into it with your help!
​
My favourite part of the whole experience was the hotel, it was amazing once I found it. I Loved having my hair and makeup done, Camilla is lovely and I couldn’t have been happier with how I looked and felt and Maddy made me feel a million dollars.
​
I am over the moon with my pictures-its given me a much needed confidence boost! The photos are stunning, i wouldn't change anything, tbh it was spot on!
​
Keep doing what you do because like I said on the day of our shoot-you are amazing at what you do!
​

The experience was wonderful and Maddy really couldn't have done any more. She went completely above and beyond my expectations and what was necessary.
I booked you because I liked the fact you started the business after having a boudoir session yourself. and the zoom chat before the shoot made me feel very comfortable with you.
On the day I felt completely relaxed, pretty much right from the start and the whole day was fun.
I thought the poses would feel forced and fake and that would show through in the pictures. I tend not to feel comfortable being photographed and don't look natural. When you showed me how you wanted me how to position myself you made it seem natural and fun which made me feel the same way when I tried to replicate what you had shown me.
I felt comfortable, relaxed and able to enjoy the experience in a way I never would have thought possible. I actually enjoyed it!
I was very happy with my 'makeover' I have extremely curly uncontrollable hair and was worried I'd end up with it looking huge and bushy (as has happened previously) or that I'd feel over made up. Neither of these things happened and the stylist was wonderful. She made me feel completely at ease and I was really happy with the results.
On seeing my photos for the first time I thought "oh my god! Maddy is a magician, she's actually made me look feminine!"
I was absolutely thrilled with the product. She really captured the moment and gave me exactly what I wanted - even though I wasn't sure I had expressed what I wanted very well.
The experience as a whole was so positive from start to finish i couldn't pinpoint one part.
Thank you so much!
I absolutely Loved the experience and Raving about it to everyone.
I choose Phoenix Boudoir because the main focus is all about being empowering for women.
I was worried before the shoot that I might not be photogenic - I was wrong! I loved the photos of myself, Maddy made me look so glamours and it was a lot of fun. The stylist was great - she understood the look I was going for, didn't try to cover me with too much makeup.and i loved being the center of attention for the day; although it can be surprisingly tiring to hold a pose!
I ordered a album and USB package both were really good quality, beautifully presented!
I was nervous about being undressed in front of others and about my size but I didn't need to be worried, Maddy really put me at ease throughout. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. She knows what poses to do and how to make people feel comfortable. She is also so good and boosting your confidence.
It was really good, I loved every minute of it and found the hours flew by. The location was perfect and Maddy was able to use it to create beautiful pictures. Photos I will cherish for a lifetime and When i saw them .I was in shock, they were beautiful and I found it hard to pick my favourite few. The few provided shortly after the shoot had already put me at ease, knowing they would be nice. In addition, Maddy showed me some images as she was taking them on the day. The images are not airbrushed but they still look beautiful and I will always be grateful to Maddy for them .As like the images, the presentation of the USB and prints were beautiful and such high quality. I know my husband was impressed when I gave them to him. I wasn't expecting them to be so beautifully presented. My favourite part of the whole experience was definitely going outside my comfort zone and doing something new. This isn't something that people do often so I wanted it to be special. It really was, thanks to Maddy! My stylist did a stunning job of my hair and make up! I was so happy with the result and hating taking it off later that day.
I can't think of anything that could be improved, The shoot happened during the pandemic which meant we had to work around the restrictions. We managed it and I appreciate it possibly took away from what the experience would have been in other circumstances. However, that is just a sign of 2020 and is entirely no fault of Maddy, who went above and beyond for me.
I have many insecurities and i always find something i don't like in every photograph of me. I met Maddy for a coffee and we got on well, she understood what i wanted from the session and put me at ease. A Boudoir shoot was outside of my comfort zone but it was a gift for my fiance but Maddy was very personable and made me feel like i could be myself, that's why i picked her!
I was really worried about how i would look in the photos. I enjoyed the shoot but was sceptical and uncertain of whether i would like the finished product being so critical of myself but i absolutely loved it! I was shocked with just how great i looked. I loved the photos and i couldn't believe it was me, Maddy did an amazing Job!
Both the hair and makeup were gorgeous, we had a quick chat before we got started and i explained the look i was going for, and i even had to go out that evening to make the most of it.
I Absolutely loved the experience, Maddy has really made me look and feel great and that really comes across in the pictures. Everything was over and above my expectations, the presentation of the final product and prints were something special, which was great as it was a wedding present for my other half.
My Favourite part was seeing the final photos, it made me feel great about myself, also my partners reaction when he saw them was great, he couldn't believe i did something like that.
Although it was out of my comfort zone, i couldn't be happier with the final photos. I have shown so many people because they are amazing and i look great, something i never say!
Being a plus sized girl it can sometimes feel difficult to feel confident in your own skin and I certainly never imagined myself posing in front of a camera! However Maddy made me feel comfortable immediately and I was constantly assured I was happy with the outfits and poses she photographed me in. The shoot was so much fun, it wasn't too serious and we had a giggle while I still felt glamourous the entire time. The best part; I fell in love with my photographs. I would totally recommend a Boudoir shoot to anyonewho needs a reminder of how beautiful they are, there is nothing quite like it!

An Unforgettable Experience!
I recently had the pleasure of doing a boudoir photography session, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere was intimate yet fun and very comfortable coming from a very introverted person, making it the perfect setting for such a personal experience.
Maddy, the photographer was incredibly professional yet friendly, guiding me through the entire process with grace and confidence. She took the time to understand my vision and made sure to highlight my best features while capturing my personality. I appreciated their attention to detail—every pose was carefully considered, and the lighting was simply exquisite.
The hair and makeup was phenomenal to say the least, enhancing my natural beauty while ensuring I felt comfortable and radiant. I was amazed at how empowered I felt during the shoot, and it was an experience that allowed me to embrace my body and confidence.
When I received the final images, I was blown away! Each photo was stunning and perfectly captured the essence of the moment. I felt like a true work of art. This session was not just about the pictures; it was about celebrating myself and fostering self-love and it was so hard to narrow down my selection!
If you are considering a boudoir session, look no further! This experience was worth every penny and more. I left feeling empowered, beautiful, and ready to take on the world. 5 stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Anxiety is an ongoing battle and one i have to fight every day, i cannot thank you enough for giving me something to fight back with. Every day i will look at my photos and be reminded how beautiful i am. Thank you for helping me to empower myself!
Maddy was a brilliant photographer, through the entire process she was so friendly and helpful talking to me about any ideas i had and discussing the favourite parts of myself and the ones i didn't want to focus on. The shoot itself was amazing, i had so much fun. Maddy was so cheerful and complimentary and i didn't feel the least bit uncomfortable and she provided excellent pose guidance so i didn't need to worry about what to do. I left the day feeling like a model and on seeing the photos? I have never loved being me so much! I would recommend her to anyone.
I felt like a Queen! My experience was excellent from start to finish. Maddy is doing a great job with woman! The photos were wow, i was amazed at the attention to detail. The quality of the photos were excellent; The presentation of the pink album and the arrangement of the photos was superb. I was most nervous regarding me been naked in front of a stranger but Maddy made me feel relaxed and comfortable on my own skin.
My Favourite Part Of The Whole Experience? It was to be able to have my makeup done and being able to dress up and also Maddy giving me guidance on how to pose. I was very happy with my makeup artist, she went through step by step on what to do and asked question on what type of style l wanted. Nothing l could say need to be improved!
I Loved it and Raving about it to everyone!
I chose Maddy because she wanted to
meet me first and i liked her ethos and photos.
​
The photo shoot day was great, what fun it was and a surprisingly girly day; I Loved every minute of it and I didn't feel self conscious at all! My Make up and hair was absolutely perfect, the stylist really listened to me and so many people have commented how good it looked.
On seeing the photos; i found it quite overwhelming and i loved them all. The Beautiful photos really captured the essence of the day and me. Genuinely no improvements could have been made
Such a great experience, everything I had hoped for and more!
A really fun and relaxed shoot that resulted in me having some of my favourite images of myself ever!.
This is everything a women needs; fun, glamour, champagne and being reminded of how beautiful and sexy you are!
Cannot thank Maddy enough for helping me to remember that and reminding my partner too!
I have struggled with my body image for some time now, after having spinal corrective surgery as a teenager I have never felt comfortable wearing anything tight or revealing. Maddy put me at ease , she took her time with me and the shoot was done tastefully.
I love my pictures so much; they showed me that my scars are not something to be ashamed of and that I can feel confident with my body!
I look and feel amazing!
Working with Maddy was amazing! I was nervous before my shoot but she was very professional, welcoming and kind. I felt at ease and able to relax. This really came across in my images. I am so happy with the end product and i would highly recommend Maddy and Phoenix Boudoir to anyone!
Wow Maddy they are amazing, they made me cry a little. I love them and would recommend you to anyone!
