Hi, I'm Siorna

I specialise in boudoir photography that’s empowering, emotionally intelligent, and artfully styled, designed for people who don’t always feel at home in front of the camera.

Wondering how to feel confident in front of the camera?

Many of my clients arrive saying they’ve never liked being photographed. Some are nervous. Some are rebuilding confidence. Some simply want the best picture of themselves ever taken.
I’ve created a space where you can feel comfortable, safe, and quietly powerful, whether we’re capturing bold boudoir portraits, professional headshots, or maternity images.

Why work with a Female Photographer?

As someone who’s struggled with body image, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to step in front of the lens.
I bring empathy, experience, and technical skill. With lighting, posing, and connection to create portraits that feel like you, on your very best day.

Clients say

"I immediately felt at ease with her."

“I found Siorna to be the loveliest person. I immediately felt at ease with her, even in the lead-up to the shoot itself. The day itself was the most fun I’ve had in a long time, and I surprised myself with how relaxed I felt in front of the camera.”

What makes me different?

The Art of Empowerment. Why I Specialise in Boudoir Photography

Boudoir isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about feeling like yourself fully, quietly, and without pressure. My sessions are calm, client-led, and artfully styled because I believe the best photographs are the ones where you feel safe enough to be seen.
