BOLD boudoir Photography

BOLD boudoir Photography is a specialist portrait studio based at Studio1825 in Belper, Derbyshire. We focus on professional portrait photography — from crisp headshots and business portraits to personal portraits that reflect who you really are. Our approach is about more than a flattering image; it’s about creating confident, authentic visuals that communicate your personality and your professional brand. Why choose us? Co-founders James and Kirsty blend technical excellence with people-centred practice. James holds a BA(Hons) in Fine Art Photography and brings over two decades of portrait experience, while Kirsty’s background in Creative Expressive Therapies informs a gentle, empowering atmosphere where clients feel safe, seen and celebrated. That combination means you’ll get studio lighting and composition crafted by a photographer with an artist’s eye, plus an empathetic session led by someone who understands confidence and body positivity. What makes our portrait work special is the way we put you at the centre. We take time to understand the look you want to project—whether that’s approachable and trustworthy for LinkedIn, bold and contemporary for your brand, or calm and considered for a personal portrait. The session is collaborative: we guide posing, expressions and wardrobe choices so the finished images match your goals. We aim to make the process relaxed and even enjoyable, helping camera-shy clients feel at ease while preserving a professional standard suited to websites, social media and printed materials. How we work with businesses and professionals: we create concise, purposeful portrait shoots that deliver a selection of images ready for use across marketing channels. For freelancers, teams or brands needing consistent visuals, we apply the same careful eye to ensure every portrait aligns with your identity and message. Although portrait photography is our core specialism, we also support related requests such as maternity portraits and occasional workshops led by our team. If you’re based in the East Midlands or further afield in the UK and want portraits that genuinely represent you and your professional story, get in touch — we’d love to help you Be Bold Be You.
