The version of you
the world deserves to finally see.

A private portrait experience with professional hair and makeup. Fully clothed. Entirely on your own terms.

Beauty portrait experience at Bath Boutique Studio

What beauty portraits are

Same studio. Same transformation. Entirely your own terms.

Beauty portraits are for the woman who wants to feel exactly what our boudoir clients feel, seen, celebrated, and genuinely astonished by the woman looking back at her, but fully clothed, in her own clothes, in her own skin.

The experience is identical. The hair and makeup, the expert direction, the private studio, the reveal, the artwork on your wall. The only difference is what you wear.

Beauty portrait at Bath Boutique Studio

The work

Every woman. Every story.

Beauty portraits for women of every age, every background, every reason.

Who beauty portraits are for

"I just want a beautiful photograph of myself." This is for you.

You do not need a reason. Wanting to see yourself at your best is reason enough.

The woman who wants confidence without compromise

You want to feel what boudoir clients feel. You are simply not ready for lingerie, or not interested in it. You do not need to explain that. You just need the right experience.

The woman marking a moment

A milestone birthday. A new chapter. A year that deserves to be commemorated in something more lasting than a phone photograph. Something that looks exactly like the woman you have become.

The woman who has never done this

You have always been the one behind the camera. You are a little curious and a little nervous, which means you are exactly ready.

Your journey

How it unfolds

1

Your discovery call

A relaxed, private fifteen-minute conversation with Ashley. We talk about you, what you would love to feel, and whether this experience is the right fit. No obligation. No pressure.

"I nearly did not book. I am so glad I did."

2

Your transformational experience

An hour with our professional hair and makeup artist brings the most luminous version of you to the surface. Then Ashley directs every moment of the day with patience and warmth.

"I thought I would feel awkward. I ended up laughing and loving every second."

3

Your design consultation

You see your images for the first time in a calm, unhurried setting. Ashley helps you choose the images you want to see every day.

"Seeing myself on that screen was overwhelming. In the best possible way."

4

Feel desirable every day

Your collection leaves the studio in our signature ribbon packaging. Every morning you are reminded of the woman who chose to show up for herself. That is the entire point.

"I cannot believe that is actually me. I wish I had done this years ago."

What women say

"I did not think I was the kind of woman who did things like this. Now I cannot imagine not having done it. The photograph on my wall is the truest picture anyone has ever taken of me."

A note from Ashley

I understand how easy it is to lose yourself when life asks so much of you.

I believe every woman deserves to feel confident in who she is, to trust herself fully, and to know she is worthy of everything she desires. Not someday. Now.

This experience was created as a safe, private space where you are gently led, deeply respected, and celebrated exactly as you are. There is no pressure to perform and no expectation to look or be a certain way. We slow everything down so you can reconnect with the woman you have always been beneath the responsibilities.

With warmth, Ashley

Questions

What women usually want to know.

If your question is not here, the discovery call is where we answer everything

I never like photographs of myself. Will this be different?

That is the most common thing women say before they arrive, and the thing they most often cannot believe afterwards. The hair and makeup, the expert direction, the lighting, the patience, all of it is designed to show you something you have never quite seen before.

Do I need to bring my own clothes, or is there a studio wardrobe?

Bring your own. Beauty portraits work because you are photographed in clothes that already feel like you, so the woman on the wall is recognisably yourself rather than a styled version of somebody else. Most women bring two or three outfits, usually something structured and tailored, something softer, and one that carries meaning, whether that is a dress kept for occasions or a jacket you have had for years. If you would like a second opinion, we plan your looks together before the day.

Can I have my dog in the photographs?

Yes, and it happens more often than you might think. Well behaved dogs are welcome in the studio and they make for some of the warmest portraits we take. Let us know on your discovery call so we can plan the day around it and allow a little extra time. The same applies if there is another person you would like in a few of the images.

How much does it cost?

The studio experience fee is £250, which covers the full day including professional hair and makeup. Your artwork is chosen separately at your private design consultation, once you have seen your images. Artwork and Collections range from £900 to £4,500. Wall art collections range from £2,000 to £4,500 depending on the size of the collection. The Diamond Collection is £2,000 for fifteen hand-matted fine art prints in your Treasure Box, and The Brilliance Collection is £1,600 for six hand-matted fine art prints in a presentation box. A single Statement Piece is £900, and additional matted prints are £100 each. Payment plans are available over 0% interest monthly instalments for up to 12 months, with a minimum instalment of £200 per month.
