Before you ask

The questions almost everyone has

The fears

What if I don’t like them? What if they confirm what I fear?

With love: everyone says this, and in 850+ sessions nobody has ever disliked their images. You’ll see yourself from a new angle, figuratively and literally, and your only job is to stay open to that being a good thing rather than another bad selfie.

And just in case you’re the first: the Photo ❤️ Guarantee. Not thrilled? We reshoot at no extra cost. Nobody has ever needed it.

What if I freeze on the day? I’ve never done anything like this.

You won’t, but it’s a fair worry. Almost nobody who comes to us has done this before, and we’ve worked with the most introverted, self-declared awkward people going. Some of them are on this page.

Every pose, every expression, every bit of direction comes from us. You’ve never been in this room before, so of course you expect the worst. The reality is that it’s fun, which is why so many people come back.

I’m not at my ‘goal weight’ yet…

That’s exactly why now is the time, because there is no perfect time. We’ve heard the “I wish I’d done it sooner” story hundreds of times.

This is about who you are today, and seeing yourself in a way you didn’t know existed. It’s a reframe, not a before photo.

The practical stuff

What do I wear? Do I bring my own outfits?

Yes, because we want to photograph you, not the same set 500 other people wore. On your welcome call we plan what to pack. Three to five looks is plenty, and there’s no need to buy anything new. Simple usually wins.

When do I pay for the images, and is there a payment plan?

The £495 session fee is paid in full when you book. Your images, prints and wall art are chosen and paid for at your reveal, the same day as the shoot, once you’ve seen them.

If a plan helps: 25% at the reveal, the rest interest-free over 3 or 6 months. No credit checks, no catches.

Will my photos be shared publicly?

Not unless you say so, in writing. At your reveal we’ll ask which images, if any, you’re happy for us to share. Plenty of clients say yes because they’re proud of them. Plenty say no. Both are the right answer.

Is a call really necessary, and how long does the whole thing take?

Yes. Your story is your own, and the session gets planned around it. It also matters that everyone in the room, Merv included, feels comfortable before we go ahead. The 15-minute welcome call is where that starts.

On the day: around two hours shooting, a long lunch, then about an hour for your reveal. Most people go from first call to reveal within two to three weeks. Faster is possible if you need it.

Why You at Yours over other boudoir photographers?

Because we don’t airbrush or Photoshop you. What you see is you, as you are, which is the whole point. Merv has been voted London’s Best Boudoir Photographer three times and teaches body confidence photography internationally.

Mostly, though: 850+ people have sat where you’re sitting, and they’ll tell you it wasn’t really about the photos.

Still got a knot in your stomach?

Those answers are the short version. We built the longer one: a two-minute, tick-as-you-go thing that takes the scary bits off the table, one at a time. No pitch, no pressure. Pop your email in and it's yours.

 

“This isn't just a photoshoot…

…it's an apology to your past self and an investment in that future version you know you can be”

- Ms. A (January ‘26)

 
 

For almost a decade,

I've been privileged to guide hundreds of individuals on a transformative journey of self-discovery through the art of photography. These sessions go beyond capturing an image; they're an invitation to step into a higher version of yourself that already exists. Trust me, everyone has it, even those who are convinced they don’t.

Imagine an inviting and comfortable environment where you feel safe, supported, and seen. Just like hanging out with a friend!

- MERVYN REID-NELSON
