Meet Alison

PHOTOGRAPHER, CREATIVE SOUL
AND PROFESSIONAL HYPE WOMAN!

I discovered my love for photography when I was just a child when my dad bought me my very first camera, I was so excited!

But after many years of photographing anything and everything I finally found

Boudoir Photography. Now its something that is very close to my heart, making women feel incredible and special.

I certainly don’t think we should all be running around glamorous all the time. I have had many years feeling less than confident and feeling like I could never be able to look like those girls in a magazine but now I know that’s just not true! It was my own personal hangups.

As a Breast Cancer survivor I have chosen to do every day what I love. I have been through those awful times of low self esteem, feeling ugly and worthless. My love of photography has helped me survive! I set up Red Bow over 15 years ago and now I want to give every woman the chance to feel beautiful by giving them the most amazing makeover and photo session that they will ever experience.

What ever the reason is for you wanting to do a Boudoir Shoot, do it for you! You deserve to feel beautiful and amazing. It’s liberating, empowering, easy and most of all FUN!

This is your time!!

We’ve created a Unique Photo Shoot Experience for you to have fun and honour yourself!

We’re an all female team, have been in business for over 15 years, and have been able to have fun with over 2500 women!
We’ve had the joy of photographing them at our studio near Canterbury in Kent
and making them feel simply AMAZING!

Why have a Boudoir Experience.

1. To Reclaim Confidence
Life changes us, relationships, motherhood, illness, ageing, stress. A boudoir shoot is a way to reconnect with your body and remember that confidence isn’t about perfection… it’s about ownership.

2. To See Yourself Differently
Most women are their own harshest critics. A professional shoot lets you see yourself through a lens that highlights strength, softness, beauty, and presence — often in ways you’ve never seen before.

3. To Mark a Milestone
A birthday, divorce, wedding, career shift, weight-loss journey, menopause, or simply a new chapter — boudoir is a powerful way to honour where you are right now.

4. To Do Something Just for You
So much of life is about giving to others. Booking a shoot that exists purely for you is bold, empowering, and deeply affirming.

5. To Capture This Version of You
You will never be this exact age, this exact season, this exact woman again. Documenting it is a gift to your future self,  proof that you showed up, took up space, and owned it.

Still Not Convinced?

Today was my second visit to Alison, and I can honestly say it was as much fun this time as it was the first time. The difference this time is I knew what to expect, the nerves weren’t there, but she still made me feel so comfortable, so comfortable that we went more badass that I had originally planned. But that’s what makes her so special, she makes you feel at ease, she guides you every step of the way, she empowers you!!! If any of you beautiful ladies are thinking about booking in I say DO IT! You won’t regret a single second of it! A massive shout out to Hannah Taylor too for making me look so glamorous, she also puts you at your ease & I didn’t even notice her doing the behind the scenes shots! Go check them out…she’s super talented too.

Absolutely incredible experience!! Was made to feel SO comfortable and although I started off nervous, really enjoyed it in the end! And the photos… WOW! I didn’t even recognise myself and walked away feeling confident within my own skin for the first time in a LONG time! Even shed a little tear of happiness! Couldn’t be more grateful for the whole day. Looking forward to booking again in the future. If your nervous and not sure if you want to go ahead… I want to reassure you that it will be the BEST thing that you ever do and you will not regret the decision. Breathe, take a deep breath and relax! You’ve got this!!!

From the moment i walked in i felt like meeting with friends. I was nervous, but very excited. Girls made me feel at ease, all my shyness was gone. Best day ever, recommend to every woman.❤️❤️❤️❤️

You made me feel amazing and incredibly special after a tough year. Every single photo is gorgeous and you made me feel so at ease and comfortable. I will cherish these photos forever! Thank you so so much again xxx

I had the best day ever And honestly ladies if your still on the fence to do this then don’t be!! Just go for it.

I can’t say enough about this experience it will always be a day to remember Alison and Kelli made me feel so great about myself as I was very nervous and worried about my body and age but I want to a picture for my husband birthday as a surprise. I really don’t no why I was so nervous as the girls were so friendly and they made me feel as if I known them for years all I can say to anyone my age go and do it you will feel special and the photos are amazing can’t thank you enough for making me look good and special sue xx

FAQ’s

We have a wide range of accessories such as ostrich feathers, boas, pearls, through to body jewellery, cuffs and chains. You can really dress up.

  • I’m not photogenic though and I have no idea how to pose, is that ok? – I think pretty much every lady says that to me at some point and tell me the bits they dont like about themselves but it is my job as the photographer to make you look and feel amazing! I have been doing this awesome job now for over 15 years and know exactly how to pose and make women of all ages, shapes and sizes look amazing in their photographs. I will guide you through everything and remember I do this every day so you are in safe hands.

  • Do you photograph all shapes, sizes and ages?YES ABSOLUTELY! We have been photographing women of all shapes, size and age for over 15 years and specialise in creating beautiful images of every woman that walks through our studio doors. Just check out our portfolio and see how many gorgeous ladies we have had the pleasure of photographing.

  • I’m awkward in front of the camera and i don’t know how to look sexy? – You are COMPLETELY normal! 🙂 In fact we hear all of our clients say that. Remember that one of our wonderful female photographers will coach you through the entire photo shoot, telling you exactly what to do, how to pose, and what expression to give. The most apparent and repeated comment in our testimonials section is about how comfortable and relaxed we make our client’s feel; so you are in good hands 🙂As bad as you think you may be at taking a photo, don’t you worry, you are will be guided by the most experienced boudoir coaches.

  • Who will be my boudoir photographer? – Alison is the photographer here at Red Bow and has over 15 years of experience as a boudoir photographer so you are in good hands. Our team is an all female team so we will look after you, you can be reassured by that.

  • Will you be airbrushing my images? – Yes, but you will still look like YOU. We are going to airbrush all of the images in your order. Every image that you purchase digitally or that’s in your boudoir album includes our standard airbrushing – which is skin softening, reducing the appearance of cellulite and wrinkles, as well as blemish removal. You won’t look fake or and no one will know we retouched them. Keep in mind we do not “nip and tuck” extensively. We want to make sure that we aren’t conforming to society’s ridiculous standard of beauty.

    With that said, you are the client and we want you to be happy with your images, and though we don’t want to cuz we like how you look… should you request more extensive contouring we can do so at an additional fee.) We will pose, light, and style you to flatter YOUR figure and celebrate who YOU are so that retouching is minimal – not mold and change you into what our culture is teaching us ladies we need to be. #beyourownsupermodel

  • What if I don’t want lingerie shots? – This is all about you, that’s fine! We have so many clients that come in with cute clothing options and we get amazing photos. 

  • Do you shoot nude images? – Kinda. We shoot topless and the illusion of nudity. So you don’t actually see any lower lady bits ya know? But it’s still super sexy.

  • What happens if I don’t love my photos? – If you are unhappy with your images, we don’t offer refunds, but we will do a re-shoot for you with hair and makeup at your own expense. It hasn’t happened, but we are sure that’s a comfort when you are investing in us.

  • There are a lot of boudoir photographers out there, and definitely cheaper ones, why should I choose you? – First we think we have the most experience, and when it comes to taking pics of people, experience is everything.

    Next, we really, really care. When you walk in you will be treated like a friend, and I assure you you will feel totally comfortable. We have heard so many stories out there about the sketchy or uncomfortable experiences our clients have had at other locations, not only does that sadden us, but it pushes us to be the best we possibly can. Our loft is a luxurious, warm and welcoming space that we spent tens of thousands of dollars outfitting to be the chic-est, hippest, space for you to take photos to last a lifetime. The team is the best of the best. And their experience in this industry warrants a professionals pay.

    A photo shoot like this isn’t something you will probably treat yourself too often in your life, and sure you could grab a cheaper photographer, but we truly believe that if you are investing you should spend a little more and get an experience to last a lifetime.
