Specialist portrait photography in Bury by Nicola Grimshaw-Mitchell. Cosy home studio, professional headshots and business portraits with confident posing, make-over styling and expert retouching.
MyBoudoir — led by Nicola Grimshaw-Mitchell — is a specialist portrait studio based in Bury, GB, with a warm, down-to-earth approach that puts clients at ease. Nicola brings decades of experience photographing women and directing portrait sessions; she is known for her careful posing, friendly manner and the make-over styling that helps clients step confidently in front of the camera. Why choose MyBoudoir for your portraits? Nicola treats portraiture as an art of collaboration. From the moment you enquire you get a personal, relaxed experience: a pre-shoot conversation to understand the look and purpose of your images, a cosy home studio setting designed to feel intimate rather than intimidating, and hands-on posing and direction throughout the session so you don’t need to worry about how to ‘look’ on camera. The studio atmosphere is intentionally calm and encouraging — Nicola often says “kettle’s on” and creates a space where clients can truly enjoy getting ready and performing for the lens. What makes the MyBoudoir portrait approach special is the combination of professional styling and technical craft. Nicola works with trusted make-up artists to create flattering, camera-ready looks and provides wardrobe guidance and on-set styling so your headshots or business portraits match your personal brand. Nicola’s experience in posing and lighting means she consistently delivers images that flatter and command attention — whether you need a LinkedIn headshot, a professional business portrait or a contemporary personal portrait. Every chosen image is refined to a high standard: natural but effective retouching is included, and edited proof galleries are available online so you can view your portraits comfortably. Nicola also shares her knowledge through occasional workshops and online tutorials for photographers, though portrait photography remains the studio’s core focus. Based in Bury and welcoming clients from across Greater Manchester and beyond, MyBoudoir offers portrait photography with a specialist, personable touch. If you want professional headshots or business portraits delivered with flattering posing, make-over styling and expert retouching, Nicola’s portrait studio provides a confident, comforting route to images you’ll be proud to share.
