Meet Charlotte, our Boudoir & Makeover Photographer
If you've ever talked yourself out of a boudoir shoot, told yourself you're not confident enough, not the right size, not the type of person who does this sort of thing, Charlotte has heard it before. And she'll gently, warmly prove you wrong.
Charlotte is one of just two professional, photographers at Yorkshire Boudoir (Mark Swinford Photography) in Horsforth, Leeds, and she has spent over ten years doing one thing exceptionally well: making women feel completely at ease from the moment they walk through the door.
Clients consistently say she really knows how to handle nerves and make you feel good, and that's not an accident. It's a skill she's refined across hundreds of sessions with women of all ages, shapes, backgrounds, and comfort levels.
One client who won a shoot and nearly cancelled out of nerves said Charlotte made her feel so comfortable that she was glad she didn't back out. Another described how Charlotte made her feel so at ease and bounced ideas throughout the shoot — a collaboration, not a performance. Clients say she made them laugh, smile, and feel at ease, calling it a real confidence boost that makes you feel wonderful.
A mum of two herself, Charlotte understands better than most what it means to want to feel like you again, not just someone's partner, parent, or colleague, but a woman in her own right. She lives locally with her partner Josh and their children, so when clients walk into the studio from across Leeds and Yorkshire, there's every chance Charlotte genuinely knows what their world looks like. That connection matters.
The studio is a private, welcoming space where you're guided every step of the way: posing, lighting, styling, all taken care of, so you can simply be present in the moment.
She talks you through everything, really helps with poses, and creates a clean, welcoming environment where clients leave feeling relaxed and genuinely happy with their results.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, marking a new chapter, or simply doing something just for you, Charlotte's approach is the same: no pressure, no judgement, just the very best version of you, captured beautifully and kept entirely private.
You deserve to see yourself the way Charlotte will.
