Do Not Disturb Boudoir Photography by Susan Renée

This. This is DND.

Not a serious face because somebody told you that’s what sexy looks like. Not sucking anything in. Not trying to become a different version of yourself for the camera.

Just you, having a very good time.

There is a misconception that you need to arrive at a bo***ir session already brimming with confidence. You really don’t. Most women are nervous when they arrive. That is completely normal.

We chat. We laugh. I tell you exactly what to do. And somewhere along the way, you stop thinking quite so much about the camera.

That is usually when photographs like this happen.

DND sessions with Susan Renée are private, relaxed and completely guided. Prices start from £495 for a beautiful album of your photographs.

Curious? WhatsApp 07872 537591 and I’ll send you the brochure. ❤️

But I wouldn't have a clue what to do!”

Good.

Because that's my job. 😂

You do NOT need to arrive at your Bridal Bo***ir session knowing how to pose.

You don't need to have practised in front of the mirror.

And you definitely don't need to know what to do with your hands. (Nobody ever knows what to do with their hands!)

I guide you through the whole thing, where to stand, where to look, what to do with your hands, how to move - and we'll take our time.

Most of the women who come through my studio door aren't models. They're women who've decided to do something a little bit outside their comfort zone.

The nerves usually last about five minutes.

Then we get on with having fun.

Confidence isn't something you need to bring with you. It might just be something you leave with.

Your body can be a canvas for your story. ❤️

I absolutely love tattoos in DND sessions. They are works of art in their own right, chosen for all sorts of reasons. Some carry meaning, some mark moments and memories, and some are there simply because you fell in love with the artwork.

They are part of what makes you, you.

DND has never been about creating one particular version of what a bo***ir photograph should look like. It is about individuality. Your personality, your style, your story and all the little details that make you unmistakably yourself.

Your story. Your photographs. Your choice about what is ever shared.

Your wedding is going to be photographed from beginning to end.

But this part? This is just for you.

Bridal bo***ir is a chance to step away from the planning, the lists and everything that comes with organising a wedding, and create something that captures you at this point in your life.

No modelling experience. No need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you through the whole session and create photographs that feel beautiful, confident and completely you.

Keep them for yourself. Turn them into a gorgeous album. Or give your partner a wedding gift they definitely won’t be expecting.

2027 bridal bo***ir sessions are now booking at Do Not Disturb, Kingshill Studios, Aberdeen.

If you're getting married in 2027, send me a message with BRIDE and I'll send you the details. 🤍

**"I'm not photogenic."**

It's probably the most common thing I hear.

Closely followed by...

*"I hate having my photo taken."*

*"I never look good in pictures."*

Here's what I want you to know.

Looking beautiful in your bo***ir photographs isn't about being naturally photogenic. It's not about having the "perfect" body, knowing your angles or practising poses in the mirror.

It's about being guided by someone who knows how to bring out the very best in you.

From flattering lighting and gentle direction to helping you relax and forget the camera is even there, every part of your experience is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident. The most beautiful images happen when you stop worrying about how you look and simply allow yourself to enjoy the moment. ([Do Not Disturb Bo***ir Photography][1])

You might be surprised by the woman you see looking back at you.

If you've ever wondered how women who say they're "not photogenic" end up with stunning portraits, I've shared the secrets in my latest blog.

**"I'd love to do a bo***ir shoot... but I'd be far too nervous."**

If I had £1 for every time I've heard that, I'd be retired by now!

Here's the truth. Almost every woman who walks into my studio feels exactly the same.

They're worried they won't know how to pose.
They're convinced they're not photogenic.
They're wondering if they'll feel awkward.

And do you know what happens?

Within minutes, they're laughing, relaxing and realising this isn't about trying to be someone they're not.

From the moment you arrive, everything is guided at your pace. We'll chat when you arrive, go through your outfits, and I'll demonstrate every pose, so you're never left wondering what to do. There's no pressure, no judgement and absolutely no expectation for you to "perform".

My job is to create a calm, private space where you can simply be yourself.

Most women leave saying, *"I can't believe how comfortable that felt."*

If you've ever wondered what really happens during a Do Not Disturb bo***ir session, I've taken you behind the scenes in my latest blog.

💜 Your nerves are normal. Don't let them stop you from experiencing something that could completely change the way you see yourself. ([dnd-donotdisturb.co.uk][1])

**Motherhood changes everything. Including the way you see yourself.**

You spend years making sure everyone else has what they need.

You celebrate their milestones, cheer them on, pick them up when they fall and somehow keep everything ticking along. Somewhere in the middle of all that, it's easy to lose sight of the woman you were before you became "Mum."

If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, *"I don't really know who I am anymore,"* you're not alone. Many women find that motherhood changes not only their bodies, but their confidence and sense of identity too. ([Mom Bloom][1])

The good news?

You haven't disappeared.

She's still there, beneath the school runs, the endless washing, the mental load and the years spent putting yourself last.

Taking time for yourself isn't selfish. It's necessary. When you reconnect with yourself, everyone around you benefits too.

If this speaks to you, I've shared more in my latest blog.

💜 If you're ready to stop feeling guilty for putting yourself first, this is the perfect place to start.

**Can I be honest? Menopause has knocked my confidence too.**

I'm 54 and I'm right in the middle of it.

Not so long ago, I was walking 15,000 steps a day, going to the gym three or four times a week and eating well. I felt motivated and energised.

Lately? It's been a completely different story.

The motivation has disappeared. Exercise feels like a chore. Healthy habits have slipped. Some days I barely recognise myself, and that's been hard to accept.

As someone who spends her days helping women rediscover their confidence, I want you to know this...

Even I have days when I don't feel confident.

Menopause has a way of making you question yourself. It changes your body, your energy, your emotions and sometimes even your sense of identity. But it doesn't change your worth.

That's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about what I do. Every woman who comes into my studio reminds me that confidence isn't about having the "perfect" body or feeling amazing every single day. It's about learning to see yourself with compassion, even during the seasons when life feels harder.

If menopause has left you feeling like you've lost a part of yourself, I promise you're not alone.

I've shared more of my thoughts in my latest blog.

💜 If this sounds like your story too, have a read and let me know what resonates. Sometimes just knowing someone else understands can make all the difference.

**You don't have to be a certain size, age or shape to deserve beautiful photographs.**

The women who walk through my studio doors aren't professional models.

They're teachers, mums, nurses, business owners, carers, retirees. Women who have laughed, cried, loved, struggled and lived.

Many arrive saying the same things:

*"I'm not photogenic."*

*"I'll do it when I've lost weight."*

*"I'm too old."*

And every single one leaves having seen themselves in a completely different light.

Bo***ir isn't reserved for a select few. It's for real women with real stories. Women who are ready to stop picking themselves apart and start appreciating everything they've become.

If you've ever wondered whether you're "the right kind of woman" for a bo***ir session, this blog is for you. ([Do Not Disturb Bo***ir Photography][1])
