Why women come to Body & Soul

Most of our guests share the same thing,“I never like photos of myself, but I’m ready for that to change.”

Whether you are celebrating a chapter you worked hard for, marking a milestone, or simply ready to be the main character in your life for once. This experience is designed for you.

At Body & Soul, you are not here to perform. You are here to be seen. To have a team hold your hand from the moment you enquire to the moment you hang your artwork on your walls.

The experience

Five steps to “I can’t believe that’s me.”

  1. Black-and-white portrait of a woman on a vintage telephone, pensive and cinematic, during her Body & Soul discovery call.

    The Discovery Call

    We begin with an unhurried conversation. No pressure, no expectation. We listen to your story, honour your boundaries, and learn the exact feeling you want every time you remember this experience. By the end, you’ll know what to expect, and can decide whether you’re ready to take this step together.

    Your Art Curator Call

    Forty-eight hours later, a video call with your own Art Curator. She walks you through our specialties and how you might immortalise this chapter of your life, taking you into the specifics of our artistry and handcrafted pieces:

    • Albums
    • Wall art
    • Folios

    • An optional dedicated creative Zoom call with your studio team, so you arrive calm and considered
    • Seven-day-a-week access to your team by WhatsApp and email
    • Unlimited calls
    • Preparation guides that build this experience with you

    Your Shoot Day

    Welcome to our sacred space, more spa than studio. The team already know all about you, your favourite playlist is on, cocktails are waiting, and the room is made to celebrate you. You are guided head to toe, only ever accentuated and celebrated. You never have to wonder what to do. All we ask is that you surrender and let yourself be seen.

  5. A framed Body & Soul portrait living on the wall of a guest's home, the reveal made real.

    The Big Reveal

    Four days later, from the comfort of your own home, we reveal your gallery online together. Take all the time you need to relive your day, decide how you want to commemorate this experience, and create custom pieces of art with your original curator.

REAL WOMEN

Real women. Real bodies. Unreal confidence.

We are masters at helping women feel courageous and completely comfortable. It feels less like a shoot and more like a day with girlfriends, and that warmth is what guides you into being fully yourself.

Add our expertise in light, posing and gentle direction, and you never have to think about what to do. You simply get to show off, and finally see photos that do you justice.

Where it begins

One way in. Then, Blossom.

Everything starts with the Solo Portrait Experience. That is the one way in, and it unlocks the rest of Body & Soul: the community, the events, the retreats and the membership. Drag to explore.

Real testimonials from the women who came before you

An experience that truly changed how I see myself. I walked in nervous and left with more confidence, self-love, and memories I'll remember forever. We, women, are absolutely worth it.

Kateryna Lavreniuk

I don't think I have ever stepped into a place where I've truly felt seen, heard, and most of all comfortable in my own skin. The most empowering thing I've ever done.

Lucy Fletcher

Such a safe, comfortable environment, and for the first time in forever I could see and say that I am beautiful. That's all thanks to Body and Soul.

Yasmin West

I've never felt more seen and looked after. I left feeling unbelievably grateful and elated. I can't believe I actually did it. What an incredible experience.

Amy Wight

It felt like I'm talking to friends over a cup of coffee. If you're scared of trying new things, take a deep breath and leap, because everything will be all about you.

The Founder

This is our story.

I’m Abbey. I built Body & Soul for the woman finally ready to accept herself, unapologetically and courageously, on her own terms. The woman ready to experience all life has to offer, and to be the main character of her own story again.
