Bridal Boudoir Photography Sessions

The last few weeks have been mostly shooting bridal sessions for lucky H2bs. When you are looking for that special and unusual gift boudoir photography is becoming more and more a popular choice.

Most brides to be will bring their wedding underwear and possibly their veil to get their boudoir album to tie into their wedding theme, this isnt essential but it is a good idea.

A veil can be used in many ways to keep that wedding feel but also having that boudoir look to the image.

Specialist Boudoir Photographer

What does being a specialist actually mean, is it that the professional only works in one area, or is it that they put more time and effort into that area. I think for me its a bit of both, I started offering this style of photography after doing a boudoir party one October evening. It was so much fun, and the thank you emails I received from the participants were overwhelming.

Its not just about researching your area, its about being able to just do it! without having to think or worry that you will get it right first time.
I can now honestly say that I dont need to know what the person looks like whos booked their session with me as I have all the poses for all ages and sizes in my head, I know as soon as they walk into my studio which lighting style I will use and what will show their body shape off to its best.
Then all is needed is that little spark of the clients personality to make that image something they will love.

The proof, as above the 'wow's' amd 'ooo's' from the client and their partners/hsubands/friends.

The only down side to the job is that I cant show you every image, that quite rightly some clients want their photos to be private.

So anyway, yes I do specialise, but I also do other styles of photography, weddings, portraits, pets, it doesnt make my technical ability any less, and I think its good to have variety, putting 110% into all my photography not just my specialty is second nature.

Also not forgetting my brilliant make up artists, who do a fantastic job, we work as a team all the time and wouldnt have it any other way. Well back to the afternoon sunshine, lets hope spring has well and truely landed.

Professional Photography

I don't usually post about how important technical skills are on Betsy's blog but I thought this peice covers all genres of photography even though its about weddings. If your considering whether to book a pro or friend for your wedding photos or indeed for any other type of photography, deffinately worth a mull over seattle bride

Out and about - Betsy's Boudoir Photography update

Well weve started our search for new premises and yesterday viewed the first possible property.  The space itself was great, in an old mill however it had 2 flights of stairs which in the end we felt wouldnt be good for accessibilty or our general portrait side of the photography business.

We want to keep the atmopshere of our small and friendly studio but also give our clients a more bespoke experience when they come to us and ideally have 2 seperate studio spaces for portraiture and boudoir.

Will keep you all updated


In the mean time, if you could have a look at the product poll on the right of the blog and let us know what you prefer, collections or build your own?

Betsys Boudoir Photography Changes

Hi all

We have made a little change to our photography collections. To make it easier to choose which one you would like we now have a new album available and for those who don't want the album option you can now book your own a la carte session, where you buy your make up and photo session and have the freedom to choose which product you would like to display your images, be it canvas, prints, digital files or frames.

Our albums now come in 3 different size options and of course if theres a size not mentioned, just ask we can get other sizes and page variations if desired.

We are also now moving our after session image veiwings off the internet and into the studio so you can view them at their very best, dont worry if you have to travel a long way we are still giving all cleints the online gallery to show off to their friends and choose their final images if they cannot get back to us.

Happy New Year

Well I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and are getting well into those new years resolutions..

What did 2009 teach you? one of the things for me was that you get what you pay for. Insurance, products and photography.

I have been a bargain hunter for years but running my own business has made me realise its good to support local quality business and that sometimes paying more for a quality product in the long run saves you more than buying several of those cheaper items. I never compromise on the quality of the products I buy in for you, always looking for longevity and that wow factor. And as always if I find something better then I will use it.

Getting back to Betsy's. If you have already been a client, you can join our Betsy Club for free, to find out what it entails email me for a leaflet.

Our valentines offer is now on, a fab little mini pocket album with 10 prints and a 12x8 print for only £225, keep one for yourself and give the other to your loved one for a perfect and unusual valentines gift.

We now coffer canvas prints, we have samples to view at the studio and come in a range of sizes from 12x8 up to 60" depending on your image.

Well that's it for now, I hope the snow doesn't cause you too much disruption.
