From how long your session will be to where the studio is and privacy concerns, we’ve collated all of the information you need to have the most comfortable experience possible. You can get the answers to some frequently asked questions below, and we’ve got additional session info on our Your Experience page.

How do I get to the studio?
The studio is ideally located in Whiteinch, Glasgow. Upon confirmation of your session, we send you a confirmation email containing our address and full details of how to reach us.
Pricing
Our packages start at just £99 for our Silk Experience, but we find that our clients enjoy themselves most when they can tailor their session to their needs. That’s why we offer a range of options you can review on our Packages page.
When do I pay
We take payment after your consultation when the date for your shoot is agreed.
How long will the session last?
Your session will be tailored to you, so it depends on what package you opt for. The minimum time in studio is an hour, but if you have lots of fantasies to play out or kinky clothing options to go through you may wish for a bit more time. Our top package includes 4 hours of photography and we’ll be sure to customise your experience to your preferences.
Body dysmorphia, dysphoria and disordered eating support
Boudoir is an empowering and therapeutic experience which can help with body acceptance and overcoming dysmorphia – but it may also trigger dysmorphic reactions at any stage of the process. We take utter care to address clients by their pronouns from our very first interactions, but especially during the photography session. If dysmorphia or disordered eating is something you struggle with, we suggest discussing it with your therapist or counsellor. Please also let G know during your initial consultation so that extra care can be taken to make you feel comfortable – this will make sure you have the best boudoir experience possible.
Do you provide outfits and accessories?
We have a range of props, jewellery and kinky accoutrements – but we don’t have your full wardrobe or toybox! Please check in during your initial consultation to make sure that you’ve got all your favourites with you – and we’ll help you find additional delights to make you feel sexy from some of the ones we find work well!
Who else will be at the session?
Your session will include yourself and G, the only other people in the studio will be those you invite! Boudoir is an empowering experience for you, but it can also connect playmates and lovers. We very much encourage couples and group bookings so that you can authentically depict the dynamics which make you feel sexy.
How do I stand, how do I sit, what if I feel awkward?!
With years of experience in photography, G will guide you through the whole process. From making you feel comfortable to posing and where to look, they will make sure you look and feel wonderful in your pictures.
Can I keep my photos private?
These photos are yours, and will only be seen by those you wish to see them. Before using any of your images for promotion or on the website House of G will ask your permission, and you can have them removed at any time if you let us know. Your comfort is our priority and we take your privacy very seriously, please review our Privacy Policy if you have any queries.
Will you edit my pictures?
While photography has come a long way, photos are never as good as what our eyes can pick up naturally. That’s why some light retouching is necessary to make you look like your best self on camera. We will only edit your chosen images and while some light skin smoothing will be applied it’s essential to us that you look like you at the end of your process. Any editing will be to display you in your best light and most authentically. You’ll walk away seeing a beautiful aspect of yourself and feeling empowered to carry that beyond your shoot so you can feel as confident anywhere – with your clothes on or off!
When will I see my images?
You’ll get an initial glance at your images immediately after they’re taken, and we’ll let you have a browse of your images to select the ones you want to keep about a week after your session.
Then we’ll build a little anticipation before you see the final versions of your chosen images! House of G aims to give you your final imagery within 4 weeks of your session, but this may extend slightly if the calendar is especially busy or you have extensive printing to do.
What’s your refund policy?
The session fee is non refundable, however if you need to cancel your session for reasons beyond your control, we will let you transfer your payment to a future session
Can I get my make up done?
We can arrange a make up artist for you for an additional fee. We’ll discuss your requirements at your consultation
Is the studio accessible?
