What My Google Reviews Say About Being Photographed by Me

“Within the first couple of minutes, all of that anxiety completely disappeared.”

I recently received a Google review that made me stop and read it twice.

Not because it was long.

Not because it was five stars.

But because it described something that is at the absolute heart of what I want every woman who steps in front of my camera to experience.

She booked a shoot because she wanted help with her confidence.

And, like so many women who come to me for a boudoir photoshoot in Scotland, she was nervous.

She didn’t know what to expect.

She had worries.

She wasn’t sure how she would feel in front of the camera.

And then she met me.

“Within the first couple of minutes of meeting Robyn, all of that anxiety completely disappeared.”

That.

That’s what I want.

Boudoir photography isn’t just about the photographs

Of course, I want you to bloody love your photographs.

That’s kind of the point.

But there’s something much bigger happening during a boudoir shoot.

For many women, getting in front of a camera in lingerie is WAY outside their comfort zone.

You might arrive wondering what on earth you’ve signed yourself up for.

You might be worrying about your tummy, your thighs, your boobs, your bum, your stretch marks, your age, your size, or approximately 847 other things you’ve convinced yourself are going to look terrible in photographs.

And then we start.

We chat.

We laugh.

I show you exactly what I’m doing.

I guide you through the poses.

And gradually, the nerves start to disappear.

That’s the experience I want my boudoir photography clients in Perth and across Scotland to have.

“She made me feel so relaxed, comfortable and completely at ease.”

This is one of the biggest compliments I can receive.

Because I know that walking into a photography studio and getting your kit off isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a relaxing Tuesday morning.

😂

My job isn’t simply to stand there with a camera and tell you to “pose”.

I’m there to guide you.

I’ll tell you where to put your hands.

Where to move your legs.

What to do with your face.

What looks amazing.

And, equally importantly, what doesn’t.

You don’t need to know how to pose before you arrive.

You don’t need modelling experience.

You don’t need to be confident.

And you certainly don’t need to look like the women you see on Instagram.

You just need to turn up. I’ll take care of the rest.

“I walked away feeling much more confident in myself.”

This part of the review genuinely made me smile.

Because confidence doesn’t always arrive before the shoot.

Sometimes it arrives during the shoot.

And sometimes it arrives when you see your photographs for the first time.

There’s something pretty bloody special about seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes.

Not through the critical eyes you might normally use when looking in the mirror.

But seeing yourself as a woman who is beautiful, sexy, strong, confident and completely deserving of being photographed.

That’s one of the reasons I love boudoir photography so much.

Over 600 Google reviews

I’ve now had over 600 Google reviews, and every single one represents a person who has trusted me with something.

Some have booked me for their wedding.

Some have come to my studio for boudoir.

Some have travelled to Perth from elsewhere in Scotland.

Some were nervous.

Some were confident.

Some were absolutely shitting themselves.

And some walked in saying they were “not photogenic” and walked out wondering why they’d ever thought that in the first place.

The photographs matter.

But so does how you feel while you’re having them taken.

Looking for a boudoir photographer in Scotland?

If you’re searching for a boudoir photographer in Scotland, particularly around Perth, and you’re feeling nervous about having your photographs taken, I hope the reviews from my clients give you a little reassurance.

You don’t have to arrive confident.

You don’t have to know what you’re doing.

You don’t have to have the “perfect” body.

And you absolutely don’t have to share your photographs online.

You can simply come along, have a bloody brilliant experience, and leave feeling a little bit more confident than when you arrived.

And if that’s what you’re looking for, I’d bloody love to photograph you.
