Boudoir - Makeover or Natural

There have been a few discussions at Boudoir_by_Dove HQ this last couple of weeks as to whether Boudoir should be like a makeover or should remain more natural.

There is space in the world for both (Hows that for sitting on the fence ha ha ).

However, my own personal point of view is that natural beats makeover every time

For those who know me, you will know that one of my missions in life is to empower women through the belief in their own body and themselves.

At the tender age of 57 (how did I get that old), I feel qualified in saying that in my experience, most women dont LOVE themselves or their bodies.

My aim for Boudoir at Dove Photography, is to help women feel special and help them appreciate how beautiful they are regardless of a little extra weight, a few wrinkles or curves. I shoot in a way to help you see how beautiful you are without Photoshop.
 If you come in to me and  I take your photo, I wont edit the life-force out of it, yes, you will have a beautiful image, AND it WILL actually look like you, win/win.

I have testimonials from ladies aged 22 - 52 saying how much confidence they gained after the shoot, how much better they felt about themselves and how they now have photos of themselves for themselves. Photos are given to partners as gifts, but each woman has bought images for herself too.

Strangely, I have just read one of my previous blogs (see I even read my OWN blog, how cool is that ha ha). Anyway, If you look back at the blog post of 06/04/12 (9 (?) reasons to have your Boudoir photos taken) I am saying the same thing. Its November 2014 and I am still helping ladies young and old to feel better about themselves.

Here are some recent photos of ladies over 50 who for one reason or another wanted to appreciate their bodies, have lots of fun, and have gorgeous images to remind them how beautiful they are.

Much love to women (and men) who find this blog and phone and get the courage to book an appointment. I cant wait to see you and show you round my beautiful studio.

See you soon

9 (?) reasons to have your Boudoir Photos taken

I am about to deliver a huge (I mean massive) apology for not writing my Boudoir Photography Blog. 

There can be no excuses (though in true Sheila style I'm about to come out with a few ha ha)...

I have deserted (naughty girl) my boudoir photography in order to build up the weddings, this has been really successful so far for 2012 and 2013 so I feel I can now concentrate on my Boudoir.

I love Boudoir photography, Dove is slightly different to most as I usually take my boudoir shots at a Boudoir Party (as opposed to a private boudoir shoot).

The parties are fun, girlie get-togethers (a bit like a Tupperware party but with gorgeous photos and some wine).. They are for REAL women...

Women who have had children do not necessarily want to be photographed in their sexy underwear (if in fact they have any at all) because of their own perception of their bodies... However... ask their other half and THEY dont actually see the problems that we women see... 

I want women to be proud of their bodies, whatever shape or size. I have lost count of the number of women who have had their Boudoir photos taken and at the end of the party (shoot) have had so much more confidence in themselves and wish they had had photos taken earlier. 

Ladies... do this for yourselves...

Boudoir Photography:-

Makes you feel fab about yourself... I know..I had my Boudoir photos taken at the age of 51 (how old I ask you say ha ha)

Encourages you to concentrate on your 'good' bits.

Helps you disguise your wobbly bits.

Extends (or even starts) your wardrobe of gorgeous sexy lingerie

Is a present to yourself..which..if you so desire can be given to your partner.

Is fun and can be liberating.

Is naughty...but nice.

Is for ladies of all sizes

Is for all ages from 18 upwards.

I actually photographed a boudoir party where one of the neighbours (aged late 50's) of the hostess went home in her stockings and suspenders and overcoat... her husbands eyes nearly popped out...

I wont say what happened next, but suffice it to say he bought some of the photos for her as they made her feel like she used to feel (sexy) something she had almost forgotten.

If you would like to chat with me about a boudoir party or sexy more intimate single boudoir shoot, phone me on 07932685241

Would you like to be sexy and confident and have the photos to prove it?

Welcome to the first blog post from Boudoir by Dove.


Last week I took some Boudoir photos for a gorgeous lady in her late 40's, well, she is nearly 48 (she wont mind me telling you this), she has been contemplating having a boudoir session for the last 2 years.
Finally, she decided that the time was right and we scheduled the shoot for the evening at her apartment.
I've found that in my experience it usually takes around 10 minutes of photographing and chatting to clients for them to start to relax, and Annie was no exception. 
She has body issues like the rest of us, but once into the shoot she forgot all about them (her words not mine) and just enjoyed herself.
We had a fabulous time, and 2 hours went by in what seemed like 2 minutes, the resulting barely retouched photos are fabulous and she has just been round to collect them.
She said she was on a high for days, has told as many woman as she can about them and is happy for me to put some on the blog... Thankyou Annie.
Now, you might wonder why I am telling you this other than to promote Boudoir by Dove... and the reason is this...


We women give ourselves a bad time about our bodies...FACT!!


But ... the truth is if you ask your partner or your friends, they will tell you that you are beautiful, that you dont need to lose weight you need to be comfortable in your own skin.
Be confident in who you are and what you look like and you will look and feel extremely sexy...FACT!!

Why dont we believe them?


I'm not a psychologist, so cannot give a definitive answer, but I can tell you that virtually every woman I have photographed in a Boudoir shoot has said how much more confident and sexy she feels. 
It may be that we just don't take the time to appreciate our good 'bits' .. we don't see ourselves as others see us.. and this is where Boudoir Photography comes in... It can help build your confidence, body image and self esteem just by overcoming the fear and saying yes to a shoot..


This isnt about getting photographs for your significant other (though Im sure your partner will love them), its all about YOU!!
What do you like?
What do you want to look like?
How do you want to feel?
What do you want to wear?
How do you want to pose?
There are lots of boudoir photographers around now, some do 'makeover' shoots, some airbrush and make you look thinner or younger. I can recommend someone to you if this is the look you want to go for.


At Boudoir by Dove, minimal retouching is done, so that you actually look like You.


You will look at the photos and remember the fun experience we had, the laughs and sometimes the tears we shared and come away a more confident sexy YOU .. with photos to prove it!!


As Annie said... 
Forget being  Gok Wan'd ... Get 'Doved' and I have to say.. that to be 'Doved' made me giggle.


My vision for Boudoir by Dove is to make Boudoir photography affordable for as many women as possible, to help women improve their body image and confidence and show them the photos to prove how gorgeous they are regardless of age or body issues.      Sheila Morris.
