💖🎀👙Today in the studio I’ve had fun sorting out my boudoir dressing up box!

Inside are pieces that let you step outside your everyday into a world of glamour and fun.

It’s not about being someone else; it’s about revealing another version of yourself, one that’s always been there but doesn’t always get the chance to take centre stage.

Suspender belts, whips, hats, garters, stockings, and a rotation of accessories that add just the right detail. And fabric! I love fabric.

Fabric can fall across the body like a second skin, hang loose to create lines and movement, or billow into something sculptural.

Draped below the bum, it creates a frame that is minimal but incredibly striking. Sometimes the strongest image is the one with the least going on.

What I love about the dressing up box is how unassuming it looks at first. A few belts, a handful of pieces, nothing that screams for attention. But when you start to layer them, when you combine fabric with the way you stand, with the way light hits skin, it transforms. Suddenly, you’re no longer thinking about your body you step outside of your mind!

Every boudoir session with me at FYEO has its own style.

Sometimes we start simple and strip back until it’s just skin, fabric and light.

Other times we layer accessories until it becomes bold. There’s no fixed path. That’s what makes it interesting — the best photographs are always the ones that happen in the moment.

If you want ideas before you arrive, download my Lookbook on fyeoportraits.co.uk is full of inspiration. But in truth, what we create will be very specific to you. That’s the beauty of it: not staged, not replicated, just a space where you get to see yourself in a new way!

See you soon.

I’m Alexandra, and my studio just outside Marlow is where we make maternity boudoir feel effortless, modern and completely you.

This isn’t about frills or fake smiles. It’s about capturing you at this incredible point in your life — the way your body’s changed, the connection you’re building, and yes, that little spark of confidence that comes when you’re doing something just for yourself.

You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you through everything — how to stand, where to put your hands, which angles work best for you. The lighting, the set-up, the whole flow of the shoot is designed to flatter, so you can just relax and enjoy it.

Wear what makes you feel good — that could be lingerie, a favourite shirt, or something we have here in the studio. I shoot in both classic black & white and colour, so you can decide which suits your style best.

Every session is private. No audience, no pressure. Just you, me, and the camera — creating a set of images you’ll want to keep forever.

If you’re ready to celebrate your pregnancy in a way that’s stylish, intimate and totally personal, the link’s in my bio to get started.

Lately I’ve noticed a powerful trend in my studio — and I think it’s time we talked about it.

More and more of my incredible clients — mostly women over 40 — are turning to weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro. Many call it life-changing. For some, it’s the reset they’ve longed for: a chance to step into healthier choices and finally book the shoot they’ve dreamed of.

And honestly, I’m thrilled for them.

But alongside this transformation, I want to gently share a concern.

Some women are arriving to their shoot having barely eaten. A few have admitted to running on almost nothing. Mounjaro suppresses appetite so effectively, many are struggling to fuel their bodies properly — let alone build strength.

Here’s the truth: real body confidence isn’t about shrinking ourselves.

It’s not about skipping meals or chasing a number on the scale. True transformation begins when we choose to nourish and honour ourselves — body, mind and soul.

Fixing a poor body image isn’t one-dimensional. It starts with a single, powerful decision: to love the skin we’re in, and to treat our body like a home we want to live in.

Weight loss may be part of the journey — but it’s never the whole story.

With 20+ years behind the lens now, I’ve seen how deeply emotional this journey is. It’s not just about the mirror — it’s about the stories we carry, the voices in our heads.

In my book The Queen of Boudoir, I share how photography became a life-changing experience — for me and for the thousands of women I’ve photographed. The real magic happens when we finally see ourselves not just as beautiful… but as worthy. Powerful. Whole.

You deserve to feel seen and celebrated — with or without a prescription.

Have you tried Mounjaro? I’d love to hear how it’s impacted your body image.

My Body Belongs to Love

My Body Belongs to Love
⠀
I’ve had a shift in mindset.
⠀
For years, I believed my body was mine. That it belonged to me — something I had full control over. We say, “My body, my choice.” And those words do matter.
⠀
But now… I see something deeper.
⠀
I don’t think I own my body anymore.
⠀
I think I’m its caretaker. A steward. My body isn’t a possession — it’s a vessel for something much bigger:
⠀
Love.
⠀
When I care for my body now, it’s not about vanity or selfishness. It’s about staying strong for the people who rely on me.
⠀
As a mum, my body has created, carried, and supported life.
⠀
As a business owner — especially as a boudoir photographer — my body is the tool I use to serve others. It lifts, moves, creates, comforts, and welcomes.
⠀
As a partner, my body connects me to love, intimacy, and shared joy.
⠀
As a daughter, my body helps me care for my aging parents.
⠀
My body is how I show up.
For work. For love. For life.
⠀
So no — I don’t think my body is mine anymore.
⠀
My body is owned by Love.
⠀
By the love I give.
The love I receive.
The love that moves through my family, my relationships, my purpose.
⠀
This isn’t about sacrifice — it’s about meaning.
It’s about seeing the body not as something we own, but something we honor.
⠀
A sacred vessel.
A gift.
⠀
❤️My body belongs to Love.
⠀
What do you think? Let’s start a conversation.

🎈 40th Birthday Boudoir Photoshoot Balloons 🎈

Birthday balloons are such a fun, playful accessory to add to your boudoir photoshoot — especially when you’re celebrating something major like your 40th / 50th / 60th /70th! birthday.

I’ve created a full series of flattering poses with balloons: standing, kneeling, sitting, even lying down — where you can either hold your balloons with pride or let them float around you while we wrap your body into the most beautiful shapes.

It’s creative, sensual, and so much fun. ✨

My personal favourite?

Rose gold balloons.

They pair beautifully with my artistic, backlit studio lighting and add a stunning glow to your skin, whether you’re in lingerie, a body harness, or nothing at all.

The light catches the foil and creates this dreamy shimmer that flatters every curve. Trust me, the results are 🔥.

I first started using balloons in shoots a few years ago when a client’s husband, David, added them to his wife Gemma’s session as a surprise.

When the balloons arrived, Gemma was over the moon — and honestly, so was I!

We spent the shoot experimenting with artistic body shots: sometimes Gemma nude, sometimes draped in delicate lingerie, always powerful, always beautiful.

Since then, I’ve encouraged my birthday clients to bring balloons to accessorise their birthday boudoir shoots.

It’s become a bit of a signature look — a mix of celebration, sensuality, and art.

One of my favourite shoots ever was a “body oil & balloons” session — the balloon colour rubbed off onto my client’s skin and it looked like body paint!🎨

So, would YOU add birthday balloons to your boudoir photoshoot? Are you celebrating a milestone birthday like your 40th or 50th or 60th and want to mark the moment by honouring your body with a beautiful, sensual portrait experience?

Let me know below or DM me — I’d love to help you plan your dream birthday boudoir session. 🖤

Love,

✨ Today’s session was absolutely magical ✨

My client came in for a bridal boudoir photoshoot—a secret gift for her soon-to-be husband—and left me the sweetest note in my guest book:

“Alex, what a beautiful experience. Highly recommended. You are amazing.”

I won’t share her name (it’s a surprise, after all!), but I can tell you she came prepared with a stunning collection of delicate lingerie—lace, suspenders, silk stockings, and one of my absolute favourites to photograph: luxurious, feminine, flowing gowns. Think opulence, grace, and power—all wrapped into one radiant woman glowing with confidence.

Every time I shoot a bridal boudoir session, I’m reminded why I love this art form so much. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about the experience. The transformation. The celebration of a woman at a uniquely powerful point in her life. Whether it’s a surprise for your partner or a gift to yourself, boudoir is about reclaiming your beauty, your sensuality, and your you-ness.

If you’re thinking about a bridal boudoir session—or just want to do something wildly empowering for yourself—I’d love to chat.

📸 With love,
Alexandra Vince

🦋Tap into your universe with me here at FYEO Portraits and unlock your power!

Inside our skull is a private universe—a world we create. No matter what life throws at us, we still have a superpower: the power of thought. That can never be taken away.

Henry Ford said it best:
“Whether you believe you can or you can’t, either way, you’re right.”

💬 Self-talk shapes reality.
Even in our darkest moments, we can begin to shift. But first, we must make a decision—to challenge the story we’ve been told or the one we’ve told ourselves.

👀 Seeing Differently
Back at uni, I read Ways of Seeing. It was about photography—but also about perception.
What we see is shaped by what we believe.

Ever looked in the mirror and hated your reflection?
Now try seeing it differently:
“My face isn’t symmetrical—and that’s what makes me unique.”

🎛️ Take Back Control
Each morning, you step into a space only you can control—your thoughts.

Flip the script. Be grateful for everything—even the hard stuff.
They might not be “bad.”
They might be lessons.

🎯 Vision + Action = Change
It’s not the thing—it’s how we see it. How we respond.
Start with a vision. Build a plan. Take steps.

You’re not a passenger.
You are the driver of your own life.

🛠️ Tools That Help Me:
• Daily gratitude journaling
• Listening to Louise Hay + Susan Jeffers
• Moving my body—any way I can

When I injured my knee, I couldn’t run. So I started hanging from a beam.
2 seconds. Then 8. Now 36.
Progress.

💥 Why? Because I decided:
“My body needs strength. My mind needs movement.”

🧠 The Magic of Your Mind
Coping strategies become habits. But belief is where it starts.

I believe life wants us to be:
✨ Happy
✨ Peaceful
✨ Loving
✨ Creative
✨ Energetic

So…
What do you want your life to look like?

What does the universe in your skull believe?

What can you do today to unlock its magic?
