"I am so glad I did it! It was one of the best things I've done for myself in recent times, and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.
It's definitely an investment, but one I think was well worth it. I had the best time, and I will treasure the images forever." - Sara
"After the shoot was done, I felt utterly incredible. I really did feel beautiful and was already excited to see the outcome. However, when that feeling subsided, I started to panic. I thought I was going to see the images and hate them all. I worried how I was going to tell Debbie that I didn't like a single one. I remember shaking uncontrollably, but as I looked through the images, I burst into tears. Not a delicate one drop from the corner of my eye, I'm talking flood gates opened, mascara everywhere, snot-inducing kind of tears!
The images were gorgeous. And it was me I was looking at. I was gorgeous. I adored every single photo that Debbie had taken. I couldn't believe it. I loved what I looked like and I couldn't stop staring at me.
Debbie is an unbelievable photographer and if you ever get the chance to shoot with Emerald Photography then please take the opportunity, you will not regret it." - Kirsty
"I was so happy I cried when I saw my final images. My boudoir experience with Emerald Photography was amazing. During the session I felt so empowered and comfortable - the photoshoot genuinely felt like a real milestone for me in terms of my relationship with my body. Debbie is such a wonderful soul to work with - it just felt like a magical and creative experience in a completely safe space. The end product is such a beautiful series of photos! I’d highly recommend EP for anyone wanting to do a boudoir shoot as she just captures women beautifully and understands the complex relationships we have with our bodies so well."

"Go for it! It's such a fun day and even if you feel a bit anxious I promise that will go as soon as you are in the studio and you will love it. The experience of the photoshoot was amazing and the stunning photographs were a huge bonus. It's a great investment in yourself." - Jodie

Step 1 - THE CONSULTATION
Let's get acquainted!
The first step of this adventure is for you to book your consultation. This will be done online via Zoom to give you a chance to ask any questions and make sure you feel comfortable with the person who might be seeing you nude!
Step 2 - THE PREPARATION
Top tier preparation
After your consultation, you'll sign your contract and pay your Session Fee to lock in your date. In the run up to your session you'll receive helpful guides, checklists and a questionnaire to help you fully prepare and get the most out of your experience.
Step 3 - THE EXPERIENCE
The big day!
You'll be fully prepped on how to arrive so the experience goes smoothly. Sessions will take place at Emerald Photography's beautiful natural light studio in central Falkirk. You'll be fully guided, directed and posed through your session so all you need to do is relax and have fun!
Step 4 - THE GALLERY
Time to see the magic we created
You'll be sent a beautiful online gallery within 4 weeks of your session. If you choose to add on luxury products to your experience you can also look forward to receiving a stunning album, contemporary metal wall art or sophisticated coffee table book.
Your Own Personal Art Collection
An Emerald experience is a luxurious celebration of yourself - it’s you saying to the universe that you believe you’re worthwhile investing in. As such, you deserve to have something beautiful and tangible to keep forever - your very own unique and personal artwork.
All Collections include a number of Digital images - these are amazing to keep on your phone for the days you need a quick confidence boost or even to share on your social media. But you deserve to exist in real life art that will last a lifetime; not just on a tiny phone-screen size gallery!
There’s nothing like turning the pages of your stunning luxury album to see image after image of you looking confident and beautiful. Or glancing at your metal wall art and being reminded every day of the amazing woman you are.
Full product details will be noted in the Investment guide you'll receive after our consultation. I want you to start envisioning how you’re going to appreciate your very own artwork long before you arrive at your session!
THE INVESTMENT
After our consultation you'll be sent the Investment Guide which details different photoshoot options for you to choose from (length of time, number of outfits and number of images) and the enhancements you can add to fully make the most of your experience (professional hair and make-up and luxury products such as albums and wall art). You'll secure your booking with a £150 Session Fee when you sign your contract.
Digital images and products are NOT included in the Session Fee; they are sold separately and begin from £300, therefore the minimum investment of an Emerald Photography experience is £450.
We understand experiences are an investment which is why you can spread the costs across the months leading up to your session date, we can discuss at your consultation.
Professional hair & make-up styling will be available to add on.
All costs must be fully pre-paid before your session date.
Still a little uncertain?
Don't worry, I've got you!
If you'd like more information before booking your consultation, don't hesitate to drop me a message at contact@emeraldphotography.co.uk and I'll be happy to chat with you. Or let me know if you'd like to pop in to the Studio for a coffee.
The most common fears and objections I hear;
"I'll book in once I've lost weight" one; you are perfect as you are right now and you deserve to be documented exactly as you are! Two; let me tell you 'when I've lost xx amount of weight' almost never happens. Losing weight doesn't validate you or your worth, and I say this with tough love - how many more experiences in your life will you miss out on until you 'lose weight'? If you're saying this now I can practically guarantee you'll be saying the same thing in a year's time. You'll just have gone another year without this amazing experience! Stop putting your life on hold and start your journey to accept yourself as you are.
"It's too expensive for me" the investment can be a lot of money for some people, but look at it this way - it's a whole experience, and one that will not only give you great memories of feeling like an absolute badass, but the confidence you gain on the day and from knowing you did something so nerve-wracking (and smashed it!) will carry forward into all other areas of your life from that point forward. And any time you need a pick-me-up, you just need to look at your beautiful images and you'll be reminded of the amazing woman you are. Think of investing in this the way you think of holidays or treating yourself to a designer item. (Pre-payment plans are also available).
"I'm no good in front of the camera, I hate having my photo taken" have you looked through all the images on this website at all these beautiful souls? I'll tell you right now, that at least half of these amazing people said the same thing. You'd never know that though would you!? It's my job to fully direct and pose you all the way through your session.
"I wish I could do it, but I'm too self-conscious about..." I get it, I really do. When I went for my own Boudoir photography experience I was a bundle of nerves and was terrified that my photographer was going to judge all the bits I didn't love about myself (and downright hated at the time). But just like me, she had seen all sorts of bodies and made me feel really comfortable. And once I got going, I forgot about the size of my arms or how my tummy looked and just had fun. And I loved my photos! I promise that you will not be judged by me or the wonderful stylists who support me - we're all there to make you feel like the goddess that you are! I've photographed many, many women now and I've seen everything, literally nothing phases me - I have an appreciation of how uniquely beautiful each human being truly is. But if you're feeling so self-conscious that it's holding you back from this amazing experience, please get in touch with me to chat about it in confidence and I can support you on how to make you super comfortable on the day.

"I’ve always admired boudoir photography but never had the courage to book a photoshoot for myself. I’ve always struggled with body confidence and I’m such an anxious person but seeing these images has made me feel absolutely incredible! I was so emotional when I first saw them and if I have a body image wobble I’ll definitely be looking back through these pictures." - Ashleigh
