Creating love, happiness & positivity

through the art of photography


Celebrate you now and reconnect with your uniqueness & sensuality. Feel empowered, confident and proud of who you are.

In life, it is easy to get caught up looking after others, with work, or other commitments, and you feel that you’ve lost part of yourself along the way.

We believe you are fabulous, brave and determined and you deserve lasting love, happiness & positivity. Taking the plunge into a boudoir experience takes courage, which in turn gives confidence, empowering women who come to us to rediscover their self-belief through timeless boudoir photography.

In the rush of everyday life, dogs are the steady heartbeat. They don't ask for much just a walk, a quiet spot at your feet, and your company. They walk beside you through the years, seeing every chapter, asking for nothing in return.


Whether they are full of boundless character today, or quietly slowing down by the fire, time with them moves faster than we ever want it to.

Too often, that bond lives only in quick snapshots on a phone or memories kept quietly to ourselves. But a companion who gives you that kind of unwavering loyalty isn't just an afterthought. They are family. And that kind of devotion deserves to be seen, honoured, and given pride of place.

When your home reflects what truly matters.

What People are Saying


“Katherine Wilson-Reed”


If you haven’t done the boudoir photo experience, I would absolutely recommend you do. The day of the studio session was such an amazing, empowering experience. I had the most beautiful hair and make up. Andrew and Natalie put me so much at ease…I was nervous about seeing the portraits on the day but WOW! They were just amazing. Thank you for the most gorgeous photos, I can’t wait to see the finished products and get them on the wall🥰

“Kim Amanda Keith”


I would just like to thank Andrew and the ladies for today’s boudoir photo shoot for absolutely great and such a confidence builder the team were brilliant.

Thank you again 💕


“Laura Robinson”


A Boudoir portrait shoot is something I have always wanted to do but have been too nervous and embarrassed to go through with it. Andrew and Nat made me feel completely at ease and were both super friendly, we even had a laugh during the session at some of the poses Andrew wanted me to do. After I picked a frame that contained 3 different pics, I asked for them all to be changed to black and white which Andrew said would be easy to do. Picked my final frame up at the weekend and it’s gorgeous the pics are even better than I imagined and really good quality


“Joanne Leese”


Amazing experience Andrew made me feel so relaxed and confident, picked my pictures up today they are fabulous and will be taking pride of place on my bedroom wall highly recommend great experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Imagine seeing confidence reflected back at you every single day.

Your artwork becomes a daily reminder of the woman you truly are — powerful, radiant, and whole.
You move through your mornings with a renewed sense of certainty and joy, feeling grounded, alive, and deeply connected to yourself.
Your Wall Art Collection and Presentation Box become visible proof that your confidence isn’t lost… it’s been with you all along.

But if nothing changes...

It’s easy to slip back into the cycle of giving everything to everyone else while forgetting yourself.
The mask stays on. The disconnection lingers.
You move through each day with the quiet ache of knowing you deserve more — but haven’t given yourself permission to reclaim it.

You deserve better than that.
You deserve to feel confident, joyful, and deeply yourself again.

Unsure if the time is right?

If your dog is getting older and you're navigating the changes in their daily routine, we've put together something to help.

A Gentle Guide to Supporting Your Ageing Dog at Home

Master portraits crafted with patience, quiet, and respect.

Hi, I’m Andrew. For over two decades at Risbeys, I’ve understood that great dog portraiture isn't about getting a dog to 'sit still' for a camera. It’s about honouring a character.

Every studio session is calm, patient, and led entirely by your dog’s rhythm.

  • No rush, no loud chaos, and no forced poses.

  • Whether your dog is bold and energetic, shy and reserved, or frail in their twilight years, we adapt entirely to their comfort.

You walk away with timeless, handcrafted artwork for your home, tangible proof of who they are, and what they mean to you.

Hours & Studio Approach

To ensure a calm, distraction-free environment for every dog, our studio is strictly by appointment. We never overlap sessions, so your dog has our complete focus and plenty of time to settle.

Questions & Dog Reassurance?

Most dog owners have one nagging worry: *"My dog won't sit still," "My dog is nervous," or "My dog can't go off-lead.

Don't let the years slip by unrecorded.

You don't need to wait for a milestone or the "perfect time" to celebrate a companion who gives you everything. 

That bond deserves more than a screen. It belongs in your home, where you can see it and feel it every day.

No pressure, no rush. Just a calm conversation to explore what’s possible.
