The Experience
Leather & Lace Photography offers a luxury experience for both men and women. I am a boutique photographer who believes that every man and woman owes it to themselves to celebrate who they are and treating themselves or a loved one to a one of my session is one of the best ways to make them love themselves.
​
Lingerie, boudoir and burlesque photography is such an empowering experience because it's not about looking perfect in the eyes of society but about looking perfect to you and proving to yourself that you are stunning just the way you are.
​
Romantic, sensual or suggestive: I photograph you for who you are. I know what beauty looks like, and know how to capture it. An amazing bespoke experience, gorgeous photographs, happy memories and a boost to your self-confidence: this is what The Experience is all about. And talking about an experience, that is what I believe a my photography sessions are all about. This is a chance to not only have some gorgeous photographs but also an opportunity to get pampered as included in all of my collections is professional hair & makeup. For the whole experience, I advise that you give yourself 6 hours. The session is usually shorter than this but 6 hours gives enough wiggle room for delays etc.

Why have a boudoir session?
My clients have a boudoir shoot for many different reasons. Some have one to give to their partner as a present, others want to treat themselves and have the sense of empowerment and body confidence that comes from having a boudoir shoot and some clients want to have sensual, intimate photos taken whilst they are in their prime so that they can look back on them in years to come with pride. Whatever your reason is for wanting a boudoir session, it is something that I believe everyone should do at least once because it makes you look at yourself in a completely different light.
What to expect from a shoot
1) Get in touch via my contact form or send me a direct email
2) Initial consultation: This is where we meet for a coffee and a chat. This can take place at a coffee shop or your place if you want. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know me (as boudoir is such an intimate form of photography it's important that you feel comfortable around me and trust me). I'll also learn more about you and what you hope to get out of your boudoir session.
3) You decide to book me. Yay! I send you my contract to sign and you pay the 25% booking fee.
4) I send over my lingerie styling guide. Shopping for lingerie can be a minefield, especially if this is your first boudoir shoot, and this guide is a really good starting point to help you out.
5) You turn up at the shoot location and have your hair & makeup done by a professional. You'll then have the best photoshoot experience you've ever had :) I will make you feel comfortable and relaxed and guide you with your posing so that we can produce the best photographs possible.
6) After the shoot I will head home and backup the photos. I will edit and retouch the photographs to a professional standard.
7) We'll get together again for the big image reveal. Clients are amazed at how they look in the photos and quite often can't believe that it's really them. For me personally, this is one of my favourite moments of the whole process.
8) While we are together it is a good opportunity to choose your favourite images for your prints/albums (a lot of my clients upgrade their collection at this point as well).
