Boudoir Photography in Glasgow

The moment the war with your own body gets to stop.

Glasgow boudoir photography session — guided intimate experience by Marieke Captures

A private, guided boudoir photography experience in Glasgow, where the photographs are proof of what happens when you finally stop hiding.

Maybe you've been at war with your body for longer than you can remember.

Maybe something changed: a relationship ended, you want to embrace your body before having children, or after, perhaps a milestone birthday arrived that felt heavier than you expected, or an illness took something from you that you're still trying to find again.

Or maybe nothing dramatic happened at all. You just woke up one day and realised you've spent years waiting to feel comfortable in your own skin before you started really living.

This experience was built for exactly where you are right now.

Private studio • Guided experience • Complete privacy

Marieke, boudoir photographer at Marieke Captures, Glasgow

Hey hello, I’m Marieke - I built this studio as a direct result of my own recovery from anorexia. I know what it costs to spend years at war with your own body, because I lived it.

Boudoir photography has always been a powerful tool for me to reconnect with myself. They allowed me to reflect on the parts of myself that I used to struggle with so badly.

For six years, I've been creating that same shift for others. A private space where you are guided, seen, and shown: often for the very first time, exactly how remarkable you already are.

Over 400 people have walked through that studio door. Every single one arrived nervous. Every single one left differently.

I believe that gender is a spectrum. Marieke Captures is inclusive of plurality of femme voices, including trans, queer, and non-binary people.

"The whole experience for me was life-altering, in a fantastic way. Marieke is amazing at her job — the whole way through I felt like I was dealing with a professional, a counsellor, and a best friend.

"I was feeling nervous, and we talked through it, and I can say it was one of the best days I've ever had. I did this to start loving my body again, but it was so much bigger than that, and I just can't thank Marieke enough."

"Marieke has a 100% five star rating because she provides a six star service. With another photographer I would have felt self conscious, but with Marieke I laughed the entire time. The experience was emotional but enriching and I now have photos in which I feel truly beautiful."

"As a queer couple, finding someone who could create a safe and welcoming space was really important to us, and she exceeded all expectations. Her approach was so natural and relaxed — the photos turned out stunning. Such an intimate way to celebrate this milestone in our relationship."

‘‘The whole experience for me was life-altering, in a fantastic way.’’

‘‘Marieke is amazing at her job, and it’s not just about the photography. The whole way through the process, I felt like I was dealing with a professional, a counsellor, and a best friend. Not once did I feel uncomfortable, and if you knew me, you would know how difficult this process would have been. When I showed my husband the photos, he was blown away that I had had the confidence to do this, and I believe that was because Marieke has an amazing ability to help you see the best in yourself.
If you have ever thought about a boudoir photoshoot, please use Marieke, as I promise you will not regret it.’’ -

Body positive boudoir photographer Glasgow — intimate studio portrait Scotland

The most important moment isn't the photoshoot.

It's when we sit down together during your Reveal, and your photographs appear on screen for the very first time.

There's always a beat of silence. And then, almost always, tears and so much joy.

Not because of how you look. Because of how it feels to finally see yourself clearly.

The experience itself is all about how you feel. The Reveal, that is where you will learn the art of self-admiration.

Two Unique Experiences. The Same Purpose.

The questions you might be too nervous to ask.

  • Almost everyone says exactly this. And almost everyone is surprised to discover it makes no difference. You are guided through every pose, every movement, every moment. There is nothing to figure out on your own.

  • This is precisely what the reveal session is for! Every feeling that surfaces, we work through it together. Many clients say this part changes them more than the photoshoot itself.

  • Your photographs remain completely private unless you give explicit permission to share specific photographs.

  • The experience is primarily designed for women and people who feel comfortable within a women-centred space. Everyone is welcome as long as they respect the intention of the experience.

  • With the Studio Experience, you will see your photographs on the very same day during the Reveal. With the Adventure Experience, your online Reveal will be scheduled within 3 weeks of your date.

  • Yes, absolutely. As a proud member of the community myself, everyone is welcome in front of my lens. Marieke Captures is, and always will be, a safe and empowering space for all identities. Whether you’re trans, non-binary, queer, femme, or anywhere in between

Still have a question that isn't here?

You've been thinking about this for a while, haven't you?

You've been thinking about this for a while, haven't you?

Most people who book have been sitting on this idea for months. Waiting until they'd lost/gained the weight, felt more ready, and found the right moment.

There is no right moment. There is only the version of you that exists right now.

The first step is a short video call. Just the two of us, a real conversation about what brought you here, with no expectation of where it leads.
