⏰ Your most confident self is waiting.
⏰ Your most confident self is waiting. See yourself through the lens of love. It’s about time!
When we change the filter on how we see our body, everything in our life can shift. So many of us are used to seeing our bodies through harsh angles, bad lighting, or the critical lens in our own minds. But when you step into my studio you’ll see yourself through the lens of love, and something magical happens.
When we realise that it’s okay to be in a softer, curvier, wobblier, lived-in body, and that our bodies are our beloved life vehicle, carrying every story we’ve lived, and that it deserves CELEBRATION, not shame our lives improve!! Why? Because we’ll bring that sparkle into every area of our lives. Into every room we walk into.
It’s about how we show up in life. Yes, even the confident, boardroom-owning, designer-suit-wearing women still face that harsh inner voice in the mirror at night. But we don’t have to listen to that voice anymore. We can choose. We can choose to see our body through the lens of love by shifting the way we think about it. See it.
In the For Your Eyes Only Portraits studio, I help women reconnect with their feminine, powerful, authentic selves. It’s immersive. Creative. Transformative. My studio is a space where you get to step out of your comfort zone safely and boldly.
Let’s take the filter off our body shame and put on a new lens, a lens of your choice that shows the real you, beautiful, passionate, raw, and unstoppable.
As I continue unlocking my own story, that passion fuels the creativity I pour into every boudoir session in the studio. I bring that energy to help you discover a new side of yourself, one that’s been waiting to be seen. Deserves to be seen, and loved.
If you’re ready to grow into your changing body with pride, reconnect with your femininity, and celebrate everything that makes you wonderfully unique…
✨ Come see yourself differently. Step into the studio. Step into your true power in your boudoir session. ✨
You are beautiful. Believe it.

📸⭐️ Fine Art or Glamour Boudoir Photography? My lovely clients at FYEO Portraits ask: “What’s the difference between your Fine Art work and Glamour boudoir photography?” What is Glamour Boudoir? Glamour boudoir is all about polished beauty and confident, magazine-style impact.
📸⭐️ Fine Art or Glamour Boudoir Photography?
My lovely clients at FYEO Portraits ask: “What’s the difference between your Fine Art work and Glamour boudoir photography?”
What is Glamour Boudoir?
Glamour boudoir is all about polished beauty and confident, magazine-style impact. Think styled hair and makeup, statement lingerie, dramatic lighting and strong, empowered posing.
Each image is designed to create a bold, s3xy wow factor—a version of you that feels confident, striking and unapologetically glamorous.
🙋♀️What is Fine Art Boudoir?
Fine Art boudoir focuses on body portraiture, minimal wardrobe and atmospheric lighting. The look is softer, more classical and more about mood, curves, lines and composition. Often using black-and-white or muted tones, Fine Art images feel elegant, intimate and artistic—less about overt glamour, more about authenticity and emotional presence.
🌷 Which style fits you?
• Want dramatic, luxe, lingerie-led portraits? ➡️ Choose Glamour.
• Prefer understated, timeless skin shots with an artistic feel? ➡️ Choose Fine Art.
• All images are completely private, and we can explore both styles in one session.
🦋 How we do it at FYEO Portraits
At my studio near Marlow, Buckinghamshire, I guide you through a one-to-one session tailored to your chosen style.
Glamour sessions focus on wardrobe, styling and bold posing;
Fine Art sessions slow the pace, emphasising light, shape and emotion. In both, the focus is you—your confidence and your beauty.
With over 20 years’ experience and more than 20,000 clients, you’re in safe, creative hands.
The Bottom Line
There’s no right or wrong choice. Whether you choose Glamour, Fine Art or both, your session is designed to celebrate your strength, beauty and story.
My aim is for you to leave feeling empowered and excited to see images that make you think:
Yes—I am incredible.
If you’d like help choosing your style, I’d love to talk it through and design a session that reflects your vision.

Something a little different in the FYEO Portraits studio today!
I finally got to play with my new @profoto lighting setup and I’m obsessed. Had to test out the camera trigger and rapid-flash system, so I called in my partner-in-glam and world’s best makeup artist @sheridanmakeupartist — plus her gorgeous daughter @siaanstonee — to help me put it through its paces.
And WOW. 🎬📸✨
We had so much fun experimenting!
I’m loving my new fabric & styling ideas! #ukboudoir
What d’you think?

🎬⭐️ Just about to jump on a Zoom call with a client to reveal her absolutely gorgeous boudoir portraits, and it’s got me reflecting on something that comes up for me a lot… I pour so much of myself into creating these beautiful, artistic, studio images.
🎬⭐️ Just about to jump on a Zoom call with a client to reveal her absolutely gorgeous boudoir portraits, and it’s got me reflecting on something that comes up for me a lot…
I pour so much of myself into creating these beautiful, artistic, studio images. Photography is such a massive part of who I am, creativity is the thing that lights me up, grounds me, and lets me express a whole world of emotion and artistry. Every session I shoot gives me a buzz, every final image feels like a tiny piece of magic. ✨
But here’s the catch…
Because so many of my portraits are intimate or nude, and because they’re deeply personal to the women who trust me to create them, I can’t actually share most of what I do. And while I absolutely respect that privacy—it’s essential—it means a huge part of my creative world stays behind the scenes.
Honestly?
It can be a little frustrating knowing these powerful images exist but can’t be shared or celebrated publicly.
☝️So, I’ve come up with something that helps bring a bit of my creativity into the light, and it might be something you want to be part of.
Every now and again, I offer what I call a Media Shoot.
It’s a full portrait session just like my regular shoots, but with one key difference: you agree to let me share a selection of your images for my portfolio, website, or social media. And because that helps me show my work publicly, I offer these shoots at a significantly reduced rate.👍🏻
I’ll be running my next round of Media Shoots in February 2026, and I’m beginning to gather names now. If you’ve been thinking about booking a shoot, or if you love the idea of being part of something creative, expressive, and empowering—and you’re comfortable with me sharing selected images of you, then I would love to hear from you! ⭐️
➡️ Send me a DM, drop me a message, or reach out through the website: fyeoportraits.com
And if you’d like to chat about it first, my number is right there on the site. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

✨ Drop a 💖 if you’re ready to step into your own magic! Gather round — let’s have a heart-to-heart about self-love.
✨ Drop a 💖 if you’re ready to step into your own magic!
Gather round — let’s have a heart-to-heart about self-love. Not the fluffy, throwaway kind people stick on a mug… I mean the real stuff.
The kind that changes how you walk through the world. The kind that makes you MAGNETIC without even trying.
Here’s the truth: the moment you start treating yourself like someone worth showing up for, everything shifts.
And I see it all the time in the studio — women step in feeling a bit unsure, a bit “I’ll just blend into the background,” and then something clicks.
A spark.
A reclaiming.
And suddenly she’s standing taller, laughing louder, looking like she’s been lit from within. That is the power of self-love.
Because when you back yourself, truly, deeply, unapologetically, you become the woman who walks into a room and doesn’t need to prove a thing.
Not a damn thing.
Your energy does it for you. And that kind of quiet confidence? Absolutely magnetic.
Here’s what self-love really gives you:
1. A new lens — You stop picking yourself apart and start asking better questions. Not “What’s wrong with me?” but “What makes me feel alive?” When you shift the focus, your whole world softens.
2. A new story — All those little “I’m not enough” whispers start losing their grip. You begin telling the truth instead: “I’m worthy as I am.” And once you start believing that, there’s no going back.
3. A new glow — Self-love isn’t just internal. It shows. It’s in your posture, your eyes, the way you move. It’s not arrogance — it’s ownership. A quiet, elegant yes to yourself.
So tonight, do something simple: look in the mirror and name one thing you appreciate about your body. Maybe it’s carried you through hell and back. Maybe it’s soft where you once wished it wasn’t. Maybe it’s strong in ways you forget to acknowledge. Whatever it is — give it a moment.
Because loving yourself isn’t silly or selfish. It’s grounding. It’s transformative. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do.
You don’t need permission. You don’t need a perfect day. You just need to DECIDE NOW: I’m choosing me.

🦋The Body Paint Photoshoot! Two of my greatest passions, painting and photography, collide to create one of the most expressive and liberating photoshoot experiences! There’s something almost meditative about the shift in energy as we see ourselves as unique works of art rather than something to critique.
🦋The Body Paint Photoshoot! Two of my greatest passions, painting and photography, collide to create one of the most expressive and liberating photoshoot experiences!
There’s something almost meditative about the shift in energy as we see ourselves as unique works of art rather than something to critique.
Body paint has a way of changing everything. It’s bold, fun, and unexpectedly empowering.🚀
Our bodies really are works of art.
Unique, feminine, individual, shaped by every moment of our lives.
And yet so often our instinct is to criticise, to judge, to compare.
What if we changed that narrative?
What if we chose to celebrate our bodies instead of apologising for them?
Learning to see ourselves through a different lens can be life-changing.
Being less harsh and more understanding with our bodies doesn’t just affect how we look at photos, it influences how we show up in every area of our lives…
Our confidence, our sense of identity, the way we connect in our relationships, even the way we walk into a room.
When we start recognising the beauty in the light, the movement, the lines, and the changes, we soften.
We forgive.
We appreciate.
We show compassion toward the body that carries us through everything.
I still remember how body paint felt on my skin – and in my mind. The pictures from my body paint shoot gave me permission to feel beautiful in a way that wasn’t about perfection but about expression. It reminded me that my body holds stories, seeing it as a work of art helps me honour it.
If you’d love to experience this for yourself, you can add a body paint session to your boudoir shoot through the ‘fyeo portraits’ website. It’s an opportunity to see yourself in a completely new way, and many clients tell me it’s one of their favourite shoots.
Would you try a body paint photoshoot? I’m always curious to hear your thoughts.

Ready for a little tough love with a whole lot of compassion? 😘 Because this time…it’s about your body.
Ready for a little tough love with a whole lot of compassion? 😘
Because this time…it’s about your body. Your connection to it. Your willingness to see it.
It’s not your metabolism.
It’s not your genetics.
It’s not “just how it is now.”
It’s you, babe 💋it’s how you SEE it.
And I say that with love.
You’re ignoring your body’s signals.
You’re numbing instead of checking in.
You’re judging every inch instead of appreciating the miracle you live in.
You’re waiting to “feel motivated”…
but you haven’t taken a loving action toward yourself in weeks.
And let’s be honest…
you don’t have a body problem.
You have a relationship problem.
You want deep self-love,
but you’re showing up with “when it’s convenient” energy.
You want confidence,
but you’re feeding yourself comparison and criticism.
You want connection,
but you keep ghosting the one relationship you can’t escape: your own body.
And yes—
we ALL have body challenges.
A limb that moves differently.
Energy that rises and crashes.
Illness, pain, hormonal shifts, scars, stories.
I get it. Truly.
But we do what we can. Don’t we?
We ask ourselves,
“Am I doing the best I can today?”
That’s where everything begins.
And here’s what most people miss:
A boudoir photoshoot—yes, portraits of YOUR body—can be the spark that changes everything. Actually, making the decision to do one, is where your mind starts to shift.
I’ve witnessed it again and again in the studio.
When you see yourself through a lens of love instead of shame…
something shifts.
Compassionately connecting.
The camera shows you a version of yourself your mind has forgotten:
powerful, tender, real, beautiful.
Sometimes being photographed is the first moment you finally see yourself clearly.
This is why portraits work.
They reconnect you to yourself.
They soften the war in your head.
They remind you of who you are beneath the criticism.
Your next level of confidence and peace isn’t hiding.
It’s waiting for you to treat your body like you deserve to feel good in it 🔥

📸 Here’s Lauren posing on my boudoir platform! ➡️ I’ve been working with my boudoir platform—also known as my ‘body sculpting platform’ —since I first started doing boudoir all the way back in 2002.
📸 Here’s Lauren posing on my boudoir platform! ➡️ I’ve been working with my boudoir platform—also known as my ‘body sculpting platform’ —since I first started doing boudoir all the way back in 2002. 🚀
It’s been with me through every era of my photography, helping me shape, sculpt, and celebrate the female form.
The boudoir platform is purpose-built. It’s just the right height off the floor, allowing me to capture the perfect flattering angles that define my boudoir style.
Here, you can see the stunning Lauren posing on it.
What makes this platform so special?
💫 The Size – Spacious enough that clients never feel “too big,” only beautifully held and supported.
💫 The Firmness – No sinking or soft spots like you would on furniture/a bed or sofa. The firm surface helps me shoot clean lines, lifted, sculpted body shapes, and it works so well.
💫 The Elevation – It keeps my clients off the floor, maintains their dignity, and helps them feel elevated—physically and emotionally. I never ask my clients to lay on the floor!!
This shoot with Lauren was so much fun. She came in to help me celebrate my 20th anniversary as a boudoir photographer here in my studio near Marlow in the UK. Lauren has been in to see me a few times now, and every time we create such beautiful pictures, and have a good natter.
For this session, Lauren brought the most gorgeous lace gown, and as you’ll see, we used it in all sorts of creative ways. 🤍
I’ve added a little behind-the-scenes video of the shoot in action, along with some of the finished photographs.
If you’d like to learn more about my boudoir sessions, you can explore everything on my website—including my downloadable Boudoir Look Book filled with prices, a shoot guide, portfolio, and more.
And of course… if you have any questions about booking—or just want to say hello—I’d love to hear from you.
With love,
Alexandra 💕#fyeoportrait #boudoir #marlow
