I create portraits and boudoir sessions for people who want more than just beautiful images — they want an experience that feels calm, comfortable and genuinely enjoyable.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, reclaiming confidence, or simply wanting to see yourself in a new light, I guide you through a relaxed, supportive process from start to finish.
No pressure. No awkward posing. No model experience required.
Just you — feeling present, grounded, and seen.

You don’t need to look a certain way
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You just need to show up.
It’s my job to bring out your best — with flattering light, gentle direction, and an atmosphere where you can truly be yourself.
Most of my clients start by saying:
“I’m not photogenic.”
And they always leave saying:
“I can’t believe that’s me.”
Hi, I’m Reid
A portrait & boudoir photographer based in the Cotswolds.
Alongside a long career as a touring musician, I’ve spent years studying people — expression, emotion, movement and mood. That background shapes the way I photograph: calm, intuitive, artistic.
My approach is simple:
Be present.
Listen.
Create something honest and beautiful.
If you’re nervous, perfect — most of my best clients are.
Featured work
A curated selection from recent portrait and boudoir sessions.
A session designed around you
Before the Shoot
A relaxed planning call to understand the style you love, how you want to feel, and any nerves or boundaries.
During the Shoot
Gentle direction, music, conversation, hopefully a few laughs and a calm but fun environment where you can unwind and enjoy the process.
After the Shoot
Beautiful, fully edited images delivered in a private online gallery — with optional albums and high-end prints.
What clients say
‘Reid was extremely professional on every level; making me feel at ease. He was able to get me to look into the lens and feel good about myself’ - Jo
‘From the moment we began, he put me completely at ease, which meant so much as I’d been feeling very nervous and self-conscious. He was brilliant. The session became a fun, relaxed experience, and he captured the most beautiful shots. I’m genuinely thrilled with the results and couldn’t recommend him more highly'. - Eve
‘As a 58 year old woman, I felt it was time that I was brave enough to be photographed showing my sexuality. However, I suffer from a lack of self-confidence. I needn’t have worried. I had the most enjoyable afternoon, with great direction. Once Reid sent me the final proofs I was so happy with them, and I was amazed that they actually were of me!’ - Mel
