Glasgow, Marieke Captures
Before anyone books, the same handful of questions come up, usually typed late at night with the tab half-hidden. So here they are, answered honestly and all in one place.
Do I need to be confident to book?
No. Almost everyone arrives nervous. Confidence is something that tends to show up during the experience, not something you need to bring with you. If the mental side feels big, this post on preparing mentally is a good place to start.
I've never posed before. Is that a problem?
Not at all! We will find out together what feels good for yourself and your body. Sounds to vague? Don’t worry! I help guide every movement, from where your hands go to how to breathe. We will find out quite swiftly what kind of movement you enjoy, and that is then the side we lean into. This results in photographs that feel natural and utterly you. Because all my work is uniquely tailored to you, this is not a cookie cutter experience.
Who is boudoir photography for?
Every body, every age, every gender. Solo, as a couple, before a wedding, during pregnancy, at a milestone, or for no reason at all. The studio is proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive; Orion's story is one example.
What should I wear?
Whatever feels like you: lingerie, an oversized shirt, jeans, a sheet, or nothing at all. There's also a client wardrobe in the studio. The full outfit guide is here, plus a free download with ten outfit ideas.
How long does it take?
Plan for a full day, roughly 6 to 8 hours, including your same-day reveal. Here's the day hour by hour.
How much does a boudoir photography experience cost?
Studio experiences start from £495 and adventure experiences from £595. Flexible payment plans of up to 12 months are available, and credit cards are accepted. See all packages.
Where is the studio?
A private commercial studio at 117 Brook Street in Bridgeton, Glasgow. It's not a hotel room or someone's spare bedroom. It's just you and me. Take a look inside.
Will anyone else see my photographs?
Never without your permission. Your photographs are yours, and nothing is shared without your clear consent.
Can I add something extra?
Yes! Three add-ons can be added to any Studio Boudoir package: Ethereal Gold, the Champagne Experience and the new Shower Experience. Each is £150 and includes an extra hour in the studio.
Can I book an outdoor session in winter?
Adventure boudoir runs from April to October, when Scotland's light and temperatures are on our side. The Studio is open year round, and the 2027 adventure dates open early. More on adventure boudoir.
Can I give this experience as a gift or contribute to someones experience?
Absolutely! Gift vouchers can be a full experience or any amount, are valid for a year and can be wrapped for Christmas or any other special occasion. The last day to order before Christmas 2026 is the 10th of December. Gift vouchers are available here.
