‘This reminded me that I am more than just a mum who works full time! There is another side of me that I think gets lost behind all the chaos of every day life.’
When AR walked into my studio on her boudoir photoshoot for mums UK, she carried a beautiful mix of excitement and vulnerability. She’d been inspired by the mood boards we explored together and her own love for dance-like expression. She envisioned something romantic yet sultry Drawing from the ‘Ravishing Renaissance’ painterly aesthetic and the allure of dark, moody tones, we curated a shoot that celebrated all sides of her personality.
“I drew inspiration from the boards you sent across on Pinterest,” she shared. “I also thought hard about what theme I wanted — dark and sultry, romantic.”
What followed was a transformative experience that neither of us will forget.
Before the First Click: Preparation That Reassures
“The preparation guide was so useful… I felt that you took a personal interest and that the shoot was as important to you as it was to me.”
Preparation played a pivotal role in easing her into the experience. My preparation guides, from skincare tips to wardrobe suggestions, provided clarity and comfort. Our pre-shoot consultation further solidified her confidence, ensuring that every detail resonated with her vision.
These early steps aren’t just logistics — they’re where trust begins. For many of my clients, especially those booking a boudoir photoshoot for mums UK, this early planning stage helps ease nerves and set the tone for a calm, empowering experience.
A Studio That Feels Like Yours
“There were nerves for sure… but the setup of having a room to change in was lovely. You were so welcoming and knew how to set the pace of the shoot so I was able to warm up and shed those nerves.”
It’s completely normal to feel anxious at the start. That’s why the space we create together matters so much — one where you can relax into being fully yourself.
My aim is always to create calm, not pressure. Time to breathe, time to adjust, time to grow into the moment.
The Styles: Painterly, Black and White & Sultry Shadows
We began with a painterly setup — soft light, classical posing, quiet elegance. Then we shifted into black and white and an oversized white shirt, ending with a darker, moodier scene. The contrast wasn’t just visual — it was emotional too. It revealed depth, strength, and sensuality in every frame.
Walking Out Different
By the end of the session, AR wasn’t the same woman who walked in. That’s often the case — and it’s one of the reasons I love this work.
“I felt like Superwoman walking out. I felt confident and sexy.”
She was gobsmacked by her photos. “I never thought I could look that way.”
More Than Just a Mum
When she saw the images, it wasn’t just about beauty. It was about being reminded of something she’d nearly forgotten.
“They reminded me that I am more than just a mum who works full time… this shoot was for me. It helped me accept how I look now — that even though I am older, I am still beautiful and confident.”
That’s the kind of shift no one can take away from you.
For Anyone Feeling Unsure
If you’re reading this and feeling nervous, know that you’re not alone — and you don’t need to have it all figured out before you book.
“You can put your trust in Siorna completely. Her suggestions on posing were gentle and helpful… she understood so well how to bring out the woman in me.”
This session is one of many powerful reminders of what a boudoir photoshoot for mums UK can offer — space to reconnect with yourself, see your beauty through a new lens, and celebrate the woman behind the roles you hold.
