Kensa Boudoir

Kensa Boudoir is an Exeter-based portrait studio that specialises in creating confident, authentic professional portraits and headshots. As a small, all-female team with more than a decade of experience, we position ourselves as portrait specialists who understand how powerful a single image can be — whether it’s for a LinkedIn profile, a business website or a personal confidence boost. Why choose Kensa Boudoir? We photograph real people — every age, size and ability — and have supported thousands of clients through guided makeover portrait experiences. Our approach is rooted in empathy and expertise: we listen to your needs, tailor poses to suit your body and personality, and take care to create a relaxed, safe space where nerves turn into confidence. Karen and Julie lead the studio with a hands-on, reassuring style that helps even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease. What makes our portrait work special is the combination of professional styling and a fully guided shoot. Each session begins with a personal consultation so we can understand how you want to be seen. Our make-up artist then works with you to craft a look that complements your goals — subtle and professional for business portraits, or more expressive for personal images. During the shoot we guide you through flattering poses and natural expressions, focusing on body language and connection so your personality comes through in every frame. We treat professional headshots and business portraits with the same care we give our makeover experiences: thoughtful lighting, considered composition and post-shoot attention to detail. After the session you’ll view your images with us in an ordering session where we help you choose the strongest frames for online profiles, printed materials or bespoke portrait products. At the heart of our work is a belief that everyone deserves to be seen as they are — capable, beautiful and professional. Whether you need a polished headshot for your business profile or a portrait that reflects your personal journey, Kensa Boudoir in Exeter specialises in producing images that feel honest and empowering.
