The Phoenix
Boudoir Experience
"A Photo-shoot with Phoenix Boudoir is the
Ultimate Boudoir Experience,
If You're Going To Do It, Do It Right!"
"I felt like by the end of
it I was proud
of the body I had"
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!
Thank you for helping me find my confidence!
I really appreciate all you've done for me, it's definitely been a journey!
"I'll be Grateful to 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. There isn’t really a way to describe it that would do my feelings justice. No one will ever be able to take that feeling of pride away from me!
Why Choose Phoenix?
Because here at Phoenix Boudoir it is about more than just beautiful photographs.
A session with Phoenix is a chance to reconnect with yourself… and to remember how strong and beautiful you are even if you’ve forgotten for a while.
Let Go of the Labels
It’s about shaking off the labels we carry. The ones given to us, and the ones we give ourselves. Mother. Wife. Career woman. Scars. Trauma. Survivor.…I could go on.
But who are you underneath all of that? How would it feel to just be you? Your beautifully flawed, unique, and wonderful self. What if you could actually love that version of you? Fully, honestly, un-apologetically? Pretty bloody awesome, right?
But don’t just take my word for it
Have a read through the stories and transformations from some of my previous clients. They say it far better than I ever could.
Your Phoenix Boudoir Experience
Here at Phoenix Boudoir, it’s about celebrating all of you, not just your body.
This isn’t about sex, the male gaze, or trying to look like a Victoria’s Secret model. It’s about creating art in the form of a woman. And you, darling… are the art.
I'll Support you Through the Entire Experience
It's not about being perfect. It’s about showing up exactly as you are. You don’t need to know how to pose, what to wear, or how to “feel confident” in front of a camera, in fact nearly every client feels a little nervous but don't worry I’ll guide you through everything, step by step.
A Personal, One to One Journey
From your very first message, you’ll be dealing directly with me. We’ll arrange a video call before your session so we can chat properly, go through any questions or worries, and just get to know each other a little. I never want you walking into your shoot feeling like I’m a stranger. I want you to feel comfortable with me before I even pick up the camera. You can read a little about me & my journey here
Limited Shoots a Month
I only shoot limited shoots a month so i can fully focus on one shoot at a time
No feeling like your on a conveyor belt and No Waiting for months for your Photos
Designed Entirely Around You
Every session is thoughtfully tailored to you. No two women are the same and your session shouldn’t be either.
No cookie-cutter photos here!
Everything is shaped around your story, your comfort, and your version of sexy, whatever that may look like.
A Relaxed, Luxury Experience
You are the only one i photograph that day so there is no time limits so your shoot is completely relaxed, unhurried, and designed for you to actually enjoy the experience with no pressure. I shoot in beautiful luxury hotel spaces across Essex, so you can really settle in, feel cosy, and even make a night of it if you want too.
What you'll Walk Away With
Of course, you’ll leave with beautiful images. But my real goal?
For you to walk away feeling more confident, more empowered, and seeing yourself in a way you never have before.

"I feel like every part
is so well thought
out from the moment
we met to our
last meeting"
A gigantic thank you to Maddy for the entire experience! For both the incredible photos (which my husband LOVED), and for everything that you have done for me!
My confidence has grown compared to this time last year when she took our Engagement Photos and it is all down to you!! You really are the best!!
"I wouldn't change
anything,
it was the best
experience ever!"
I can honestly say that the confidence Maddy has given me has been the best thing that I could have ever asked for out of the entire experience. I think I am finally able to see me the way that everyone else does, and for the first time in a long time I am not shying away from having my photo taken.
Your Journey
Step by Step
Pre Shoot
The Enquiry
If you are considering a Boudoir Shoot then Get in touch! Upon enquiry, I will suggest that you book in your introductory call. This meeting is completely free & no obligation at all its just an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little bit. So getting this booked is the first step.
Start Preparing
Before the meeting, have a look through my portfolio and at other shoots you like the look of. Have a think about the type of shoot you want, how you want to be portrayed in your photos and you reasons for doing it. Read about other Ladies experiences and blogs etc start getting excited right from the word go!
The Pre-shoot Consultation
On our call, we will run through all aspects of the Photo shoot and I will answer any questions, queries and address concerns you may have. This is a chance for us to get to know each a bit & for you to see if i am the right photographer for you. We will chat about your desires and goals for the shoot. Why are you having it done? Your favorite body parts. Hair and makeup ideas, location choices, outfit and props ideas, themes, any budget or time constraints etc
The Booking
Congratulations! You have decided to book your Boudoir Shoot! A small deposit will be taken at this stage to secure your date (the balance will be taken a week before your shoot) Now the fun can begin. Upon booking you will get access to your own private Pinterest board so you can curate your ideas and vision and an exclusive members page which is packed full of great content including guidance on your outfit choices, top tips etc to help you start getting ready for your shoot.
The Lead up
You can start getting really excited now its really close. The week before your shoot is your prep week; moisturize lots, drink plenty of water, have any beauty treatments you have planned done this week Get the necessary waxes done (do these earlier in the week not the day before because of redness) Do your last minute shopping for any new lingerie or props you may want and pay the remaining balance of the shoot. You will have an email from me as well with all the information you will need to know; addresses, parking etc This is definitely the time to check out the client portal if you haven't already
The Night Before
Oh My God, It's Tomorrow!! Tonight you are probably going to be feeling a little nervous but hopefully really excited too! Nerves are completely normal and tend to disappear about 10 minutes after you arrive. Pack everything you'll need for tomorrow, all your outfit and prop choices, postcode for the location etc so you have a stress free morning. Now get pampering, start at home so you already feel pretty fabulous by the time you arrive. Have a nice soak in the bath, exfoliate, moisturize, drink lots of water and get an early night and I will see you in the morning.
Shoot Day
The Morning of
Double check you've packed everything. Keep your face clean; you'll be having an amazing makeover very soon so there is no need to do anything except your usual cleanse and moisturise and If you are having your hair styled then just wash, dry and leave your tresses loose don't worry about product. Leave plenty of time to get to your chosen location so you don't have to rush, turn your phone off and get ready to have the best time ever
When you arrive
When you arrive get me a text and i will come and find you and help you in with your bags. We will then head straight to a coffee shop for refreshments before we head up to your room for a bit of chill time. Just half hour for me and you to have a catch up over a drink before we get started and for you to settle in and relax before your stylist arrives.
The Makeover
Camilla will be your stylist and she is AMAZING! You will be in very safe hands with her. Before she gets started Camilla will have a later chat with you about what you want your 'look' to be' she will then get to work create your unique look for you and I promise you will look amazing! This part usually take about an 60-90 mins once your look is complete she will then leave, leaving just you and I.
Your First Outfit
We will go through your wardrobe choices and make final decisions on a few different outfits options and go through any props you may have brought so i can incorporate them into your shoot. We will pick your first outfit, often if your feeling nervous a baggy jumper or a dress is great to start with as it helps to ease you in. And we're off...
The Shoot itself
Usually after about 10 minutes any nerves you did have usually will disappear. It is my job to make you feel as comfortable as possible, I will not push you to do anything you don't want to do. I will guide you through all poses even facial expressions and will be your support from start to finish. This experience is all about empowerment and fun. The shoot itself typically lasts about 3 hours, in that time we will do loads of different poses and outfit changes so you get good variety in your final images.
Post Shoot
The Wait
Unfortunately this is the worse bit, you will now have to wait to see your photos. At the end of your shoot we would have booked in a date to get together again for you to view your images this is usually about two weeks after. During this time I am busy shortlisting your images and fine tuning them all. If we have previously discussed a time constraints this will be taken into consideration This is a good time for you to think about your budget and what products you are interested in
The Viewing
This is the bit you've really been waiting for, to see all your hard work finally paid off. We will get together and you see a slideshow of all your images. Feel free to bring someone along with you at this stage to help you decide or who is part of the decision making process.After an initial look we will discuss what products you had in mind I will guide you through all the options and prices and help you to start shortlisting your favorites. There is no obligation to purchase anything at all but unfortunately I can only keep your images for a limited time following your viewing.
Delivery
If you ordered any products then the average turn around is three weeks, obviously this will be longer in busy periods such as Christmas please take that into consideration if you are doing a shoot around high season. Different packages/ products also have different lead times so do be sure to double check this with me. All products are sent on a 24 hour recorded delivery but you will be contacted to let you know your order has been sent.
Feedback
fter you have received your product I would ask you to fill out a Feedback form or to leave a google review whichever you prefer. This is optional of course but Feedback for myself and my business means more than you know and it is very appreciated. To accompany a review I usually like to use incorporate a photo from your shoot so i would also ask to fill out a tick box form called a Model release; which lets me know which/if any image/s you are comfortable with. I would never use your images unless you have agreed for me to share.
Your Boudoir journey is complete.
