At a wedding fayre recently I was asked when was the best time to book their photographer.  They figured they weren't in a hurry, because they weren't getting married until next year.

Boudoir photography in Kingston Upon Hull

I had a brilliant boudoir photoshoot with Chloe recently.  She came to my studio on Wincolmlee in Hull,  and brought her friend along for a bit of moral support!  She also brought a stack of outfits.  We had discussed ideas in the days before the shoot, so she had a rough idea what to bring, but couldn't quite decide until she arrived. She was game for everything, and we had a fun shoot.  She wanted to give some prints as an anniversary present - a nice surprise for her husband! As well as some lingerie sets, we did some more casual and sporty looks, so we had a good selection to choose from.
