Meet the Beautifully Undressed Boudoir team

Jess

Hi I'm Jess, the owner of BUB and I have been photographing boudoir sessions for over ten years. I started my boudoir business alongside my wedding photography business after finding that many brides-to-be were interested in these sessions as a surprise gift to their soon-to-be husbands.  

My work has since grown and progressed to include woman at a variety of times in their lives (not just for a wedding gift but for any occasion, including pregnancy).

I love the ethereal softness of the female form together with the presence of beautiful ambient light - it's what helps to make a sensual photograph, and it's a creation of my signature style of boudoir photography.  

Being able to help women see their own beauty, embrace self-love and feel empowered is so very rewarding and it's the main reason why I love what I do. All of my sessions are planned together with my clients, and are tailored to their needs, and on the shoot they are always the ones who are in control.  I have an all-female team, and I only work with a handful of selected hair and make-up artists who are not only the best at what they do, but are very lovely too.  My aim is to give the best experience from beginning to end. I also respect and do not take lightly the responsibility of being allowed to take such personal and intimate photos and anything shown on my site / social media will only be published with consent and permission.

I won the boudoir category in the 2016 portrait photographers contest with Rangefinder Magazine.  I am also listed as one of the best hand-picked boudoir photographers with the Boudoir Collective (now Embrace Magazine). October 2016 I spoke at ARC (a photographers conference) about my boudoir work to over 200 photography delegates in Vancouver B.C. I have won awards with Do More Photographers 2017 + 2019, in May 2018 my work was published with Vogue Italia, and February 2020 I was named the UK’s Best Boudoir Photographer.

I am a Do More Educator, and I currently sit on the judging panel for the Art & Business of Boudoir monthly magazine competitions, as well as host online workshops via their online community. 

I have a beautiful industrial boudoir studio in the centre of Sheffield where women from all over the U.K, Europe and further afield come to have their unique BUB experience.  I also work from various locations and travel Internationally for boudoir shoots (and speak at educational conferences), as well as photograph the latest designs for leading lingerie and swimwear brands.

Chloe is our in-house hair & makeup artist. She has been on my team for over three years, and I’m so blessed that she is on this journey with me.

Chloe’s interest in makeup began over 15 years ago whilst she was working as a professional model. In 2010 she passed with a distinction in theatrical special effects, hair, and media makeup, and then began working as a retail makeup artist for M.A.C cosmetics.

Not only is she incredible at her craft, but at also ensuring that you are involved in your beauty process from start to finish. She has a way with helping to calm nerves, and her friendly laugh and personality will have you feeling like you are spending time with an old friend. She is a gentle soul with a passion for making women feel beautiful, without changing who they are.
