Getting Naked
Not everyone does. But if you do, you're in safe hands.
Some women arrive knowing. Some change their mind on the day. Many don't go there at all - and all have a session they love completely.
The Experience
It's always your decision. Always.
Some women arrive at the studio having already decided they'd like to include nude work. Some even search us out with that goal. Others arrive certain they won't - and some quietly change their mind partway through the afternoon. Many never go there at all and leave with a session they love completely.
All of these choices are equally fine, and none of it needs to be decided before you walk through the door.
We may suggest nudes - because occasionally people leave wishing they had been a little braver, and part of our job is to gently open doors that a person might not open for themselves. But we will always take no for an answer, immediately and without question. No never needs a reason, and it never changes the atmosphere in the room.
For what it's worth: a naked woman in the room is perfectly natural and unexceptional - Barrie can hold a conversation with a naked woman whilst maintaining eye contact throughout. This isn't meant as a boast, but as a reassurance.
In Their Words
The women who were here say it better than we can.
I felt at the centre of the process - supported, encouraged, heard and accepted. And I knew that if I said no, I wouldn't have been pushed.

Throughout I felt totally comfortable and in control..
- Helen, 2025
He was so friendly, professional and reassuring - and I felt confident and beautiful throughout.

The Work
Curious about what nude portraiture actually looks like?
Barrie and Fiona hold more than a few professional qualifications between them. Seven of those - across four awarding bodies - were achieved with panels of nude work. If you'd like to see what that looks like in practice, the work is there to be seen.
Your session can be a transformational experience.
The best way to know whether this is right for you is to have a conversation. No obligation, no sales pitch - just a chat. We are easy to talk to. We have been told this more than once, so it is probably true.
