Beyond Boudoir is a podcast about the people that have been in my studio. During their shoot, they will often tell stories about their past and current lives. They are some incredible people and this is a platform for them to tell their stories and maybe inspire others.

In this episode I’m talking with the wonderful Jenna and as usual it was recorded right after her appointment.
Jenna is a massage therapist so is used to bodies in all shapes and sizes. Like me, she sees beauty in all of them. To me, that made our chat even more engaging. She also told me something about her childhood that I’m still trying to comprehend, I just can’t wrap my head around it. She was an absolute pleasure to welcome to the studio and I’d love to see her in here again. Jenna, if you’re listening … come back soon :)
So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while we chat.

In this episode, I'm talking with Amanda and like most episodes, it was recorded straight after her appointment.
Amanda is a very beautiful woman, with a menacing side eye :) And doing this session was a big deal for Amanda. She expressed her nerves on her initial call and she was clearly nervous when she came into the studio. I mean who wouldn't be? But she has a great "can do, will do" attitude, so relaxed into the flow really quickly, and she enjoyed her whole experience, especially the stripper pole at the end. I think she was surprised just how much she loved that bit because it's so much fun!
And one of her photos in my opinion is a masterpiece and I'm glad to say she selected that one as a print, it really is one of my favorites.
So sit back grab a coffee and listen while we chat.

In this episode I’m talking with Marsha
Like most episodes it was recorded straight after her appointment. This is another long one, over 50 minutes again. And you know what, I really enjoy this part. Which kinda surprised me, as an introvert.
Now, for Marsha, this experience is part of a 10 year plus bucket list to be completed by her 50th birthday. The appointment was just 6 days before her birthday. It’s really satisfying to be a part of someone's plans for growth. And her bucket list is all about growth and self love, as you’ll hear.
I apologize upfront if you can hear eating noises, we had cupcakes for her birthday 🙂
By now, she’s seen her images and has the album in her hands. She even took it with her when she crossed another item off her bucket list. It’s stunning, like she is!
So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while we chat.

In this episode I’m talking with Kelly
Like most episodes it was recorded straight after her appointment. This is a long one, over 50 minutes! It was really good to talk with her, we connected and agreed on many things. I enjoyed getting to know her and some of her story. She really spoke into her sensual and feminine energy and her awakening a few years ago. This boudoir experience is part of her spiritual and sensual journey. I feel privileged to be a part of that.
Kelly has had a boudoir experience before with another photographer a couple of years ago, I assumed that would make her less nervous. Never assume! She was, as everyone is.
Her images turned out beautiful and I’m happy to say that she saw that too :)
So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while we chat.

In this episode I’m chatting with Charlene
Like most episodes it was recorded straight after her appointment.
Charlene was so much fun to host in the studio, she brought an energy with her that was infectious! She was a combination of wanting to go with the flow and be directed, but also had some creative visions she wanted to achieve. Namely a fedora hat and a leather look corset. We captured one of my favorite shots ever, a high contrast black and white where you could either view her as a gangster's moll OR the gangster. It mixes strength, beauty, femininity and some of her masculine energy. In fact, this was the image she chose to have printed as part of her session package.
So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while we chat.

In this episode we’re chatting with Wendy.
As always, this was recorded right after her appointment.
Wendy is definitely a very interesting person who’s led an interesting life and it was great getting to know her. She’s been through a lot, had many challenges and yet is one of the most smiley and upbeat people I’ve met. She’s giggly and playful and laughed during most of her shoot.
She’s also the reason we have a dance pole in the studio, so thank you for that Wendy, I love it!
By the time this episode comes out, Wendy has had her reveal and ordered a stunning album from the Venice collection. It’s beautiful, just like she is. So, sit back, grab a coffee and listen in while I chat with her.

In this episode we’re chatting with Hayley
We recorded this interview right after her session, as we try to do.
Hayley booked her appointment way back in my Black Friday sale of 2023 but a series of very bad weather warnings and her punishing works schedule meant she couldn’t join us until April 2024.
It was worth the wait though! Hayley is a generally confident person and she quickly got into the flow of posing and working with us to capture beautiful images.

In this episode we're talking with Melissa
We did the recording straight after her Boudoir experience and things got a little emotional, as they often do.
There was one special point in her session that blew us away and made us smile, she went in to get changed while Olivia and I were setting up for the next set and she didn't come out in the outfit that we were expecting, she actually came out in just a white sheet and said “let’s do some nudes” which was so cool that she could express herself in that way.
The other thing that she revealed that was really interesting to us was that she had booked a Boudoir experience with another photographer many years ago but couldn’t follow through, she canceled her appointment so we're really happy that she came and joined us today. She had an amazing time.

I get to photograph amazing people in my studio and they all have stories. Some are sad, some are happy, some bring tears and many bring laughter. This podcast is all about those stories, giving my clients space to tell as much or as little about themselves as they feel comfortable with. I really only have one scripted question; "What brought you to my doorstep" Everything else, well, is as it happens. Most interviews are done directly after their boudoir experience, some are done later. All are done with smiles :)
Join me and celebrate the brave ladies who choose to invest their time, energy and hard earned money in themselves.
